 You Get What You Pay For, 2009-10-11
Keeping in mind that you get what you pay for, I decided that when my `HP Desktop 920C Printer' ran out of ink, I would purchase this item. I like the idea of having a copier, scanner and FAX machine in one, but was dubious about quality. The basic printer works fine and the color was vibrant and crisp. It easily takes photos from my computer files and prints them out quickly. However, sometimes the printer does not recognize that there is paper in the tray (which happens often). Also, the tray holds about half the amount of paper that my older `HP Printer' held. As far as speed, I can say it is about twice as fast as my older printer. It is also far noisier than any printer I have had in the past.
The scanner is nice in that you can place the originals face down and they feed directly onto the copier glass, one by one as a fairly high rate. The conversion factor to editable text is very cool, which was something I was not expecting and there are plenty of other editing techniques that are supplied. I'd say that this scanner is just a little better than my previous `EPSON Perfection V200' scanner.
The FAX portion of this machine was the trouble maker. I have an 'ooma Hub - VoIP Phone Device' that uses my computer's DSL for long distance. Hooking up the FAX to include the OOMA was troublesome. It took a long time for me to get both of them to work together. If you only have a direct line from the copier to your phone, you probably won't have a problem. The transmission of a sheet was fairly quick.
The appearance of the HP Officejet J4580 is slick with a small phone keypad, a digital readout telling you what is happening in any process (also shows the date and time automatically) and a few other convenient short cut buttons. The software is simple to install (I used the recommended version). There isn't anything too terribly difficult to understand. For the price, the scanner and the copier make it worth while, although the FAX portion was a problem. I've had printers for over ten years now and I have yet to have one that doesn't use up a lot of ink. This HP claims it is conservative, but I'll have to wait and see. Price to product ratio is pretty good.
 Realistic review, 2009-07-15
Never reviewed before, but can only assume the other review is down to user error. Had the printer since February, installed faultlessly over wireless, it wasn't even necessary to connect with cat5 as per the instructions. Good print quality, paper feed etc.
 Shame there is not a zero star rating., 2009-04-29
Shame there is not a zero star rating. This printer is terrible. When I installed the drivers it totally corrupted my computer. It set me back about 5 days.
I have had this printer approx 4 weeks & still unable to send a fax, the paper constantly jams & when you try photocopy it scans instead.
DO NOT PURCHASE THIS PRINTER IT WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE
If anyone from HP reads this review please send me a refund it is not fit for purpose, I have previously owned 3 HP printers & never had any problems
