Everything you need, nothing you don't : HP Officejet J6480 All-in-One Printer
I finally broke down and bought an all in one printer last night. This thing seems to have it all, it prints on both sides of the paper, it scans, it copies (slightly different to scanning), it faxes, and it's wireless. So far so good. Unpacking it and powering it up is the easy part, actually even setting it up using the new installation software (downloaded from HP), was easy. While the installation is doing it's thing I took the time to play around with the copy and fax features (you don't need a computer for these)and they work great.
After about 30 minutes I was printing my first page and all was good. Then I decided to use the installed HP software to manipulate my scanned images, this is where the issues started. First the software told me the printer was available, then all of a sudden it tells me the printer is unavailable. I uninstalled/reinstalled but still could not get the software to work. Finally, I remembered a comment Chong Yip (previous review) made about firewalls and ports! After configuring my router to forward the appropriate port everything worked. I cannot remember reading anywhere about unblocking a port, nor do I remember the installation telling me to unblock a port. In fact, neither of them even tell you how to find the right port to unblock!
So here is the deal, if you know about basic wireless networking and know how to find the port the printer is using, so you can unblock it, then you can get this thing running pretty quickly. If you don't then I suggest you find someone to help you, or work with HP support to get it running. It's a real shame, because once this thing is running it is very good (although I have only had it a day).
Pros:
Supports Fax, Scan, Copy, Duplex Printing, bunches of memory cards
Document feeder for scanning/copying multiple pages
Wireless
Cons:
Installation software
Documentation
Need to know more than you should about wireless networking to get it working properly (SSID, WEP, Port Forwarding, Static IP, etc)
Tips (Wireless Setup) for Win XP (32): (Thanks to Chong Yip) -- Only attempt if you are comfortable with wireless networking.
1) Before you do anything manually add this printer to your network using the panel on the printer (You will need to know SSID, and WEP key)
2) Assign it a static ip (this will help you in the long run when you need to unblock the port), using the control panel on the printer
3) Go to your web browser and type in the ip address of your printer, if it shows up, you are in reasonable shape
4) Download the latest installation software from HP web site
5) Select the advanced setup and only install the printer driver
6) After install of driver check that you can print a page
7) Find your printer in (Start->Printers and Faxes) and then right click on it and select "Properties"
8) Click on the "Ports" tab (the HP printer should be selected, if not click on it)
9) Click on "Configure Port"
10) Make a note of the port number and then configure your router to unblock it (port forward it). This will then allow you to use the HP Digital Imaging software for scanning, faxing, etc.
Good luck!
