For people like my wife and I, who are using primarily our laptops over the wireless network, this printer turned out to be the perfect addition.
Setup was very easy, instructions were clear and in less than 30 min we could print from our laptops and in reverse could scan photos and documents to our laptops, all over the wireless network.
The printer is located 2 rooms from our wireless router, but in over 6 month I never had to deal with connection problems to our router. As a side note, I even could set it up to print (wireless) from my playstation 3 (PS3).
What I like in particular: No more cables plugging in and out from our laptops. I’m able to print from different computers. It has 2 paper trays (i.e. letter and photo paper loaded). Easy to operate scanner for pictures or documents, I also like that I can scan documents directly into pdf format (great for emails and electronic filing of documents). To make regular or color copies is also easy.
What I don’t like as much: Nothing really, of course there is always room for improvement and it doesn’t make coffee
In summary: This is one of the best tech products I ever bought; it does exactly what I wanted and was an exceptional bargain.
