  1. A raft of features makes this multifunction printer tempting, despite its middling performance and a few design flaws.

    The HP Officejet J6480 offers a lot of features for the price, but slowness is the primary trade-off. Although HP's ratings in our recent Reliability and Service survey were just average overall, among midrange MFPs this model is still very competitive. Read more

    You would think that with a wireless printer, you could set it up wirelessly. Not so, you'll go through the usb setup and then wirless is available. Not so straight forward at that. I also seem to have issues if the printer has been unplugged or the power goes off, it can't be found easily by my computers afterwards. Nice that it has so much to offer at a reasonable price. I'd probably buy again, but perhaps HP will improve on these issues; at which point I would give... Read more

When I decided to try out the copy function directly from the device keys - it took 5 minutes for a single8 1/2x11 black/white page! Then I tried to scan a photo - was never able to complete this successfully. Tried from two different PCs (Vista Premium, and Windows XP). Even tried using the device keys without a PC - it would...
