Hewlett Packard Photosmart C6180 All-In-One InkJet Printer Review Summary

Hewlett Packard Photosmart C6180 All in One Inkjet Printer is a multi- functional device designed to perform many office tasks. The Hewlett Packard Photosmart C6180 All in One Inkjet Printer has a look of sophistication and reviewers like its separate photo display panel, six ink cartridges, and special tray for photo paper but they don’t appreciate the small, 5ml size of the ink cartridges because this means the ink won’t last very long. Other than the quick use of the ink, however, the Hewlett Packard Photosmart C6180 All in One Inkjet Printer is a “Quality Printer That Does it All” and it is ranked well above the average for all Printers available on the market.

I recently went to Office Depot to buy some extra "HP 14" ink jet cartidges for my HP Office Jet 7130. The two packs of black ink and color cartidges were $50.  I don't like to run out so I was going to buy three.  I then was going to buy refills for my Canon ip8550 photo printer which has individual...

My HP Photosmart C6180 died after only a year and a half (and after only printing/copying less than 5900 pages).

I have prior experience with both HP and Brother printers --- I have come to swear at HP for their  %^%$%&  products and customer service (aka, NONE) and have come to swear by Brother products. ...

This printer does beautiful print jobs.  I'm an architecture major so part of my assignments is to print out digital images of my designs and at my critiques I am constantly getting complimented on how beautiful they are.  And part of that is simply due to the vibrance and clarity of the prints.  Also since this printer uses 6 cartridges it is easy to just replace the colors you use most.  Oh and while the ink might be a little expensive, since there are 6 cartridges you can take them to Office Max or Office Depot where they are worth $3 a piece and earn back $18 from the ink, which makes the... review »

I LOVE this printer! For a home office with next to no space for the many tech objects that are needed, this all in one is the perfect fit! The ability to go wireless is an added bonus that not all printers can boast. It says on the HP website that you need to plug into a wireless router but we've set it up to auto detect the wireless signal and it works seamlessly...
The print tray holds 50 sheets with an automated 4x6 photo tray to easily switch from full size prints to the 4x6.
My favorite feature, and a MUST have in my opinion, is the six individual HP Vivera Ink Jet Cartridges so you only...

I love this printer, HP Photosmart C6180 All-In-One InkJet Printer.  The quality of color prints are good, I love the fact it is also a fax machine as well as a copier.  I've had it for about a year and have had no problems. I would purchase this printer again.

I have rued the day I switched from Epson and bought the HP Photosmart C6180. At the time I need an All-in-One and Epson didn't have one. The HP C6180 has been nothing but trouble ever since. I have a home office with 3 Apple computers, as well as 2 PCs, with the C6180 as the network printer.

The C6180 is far from user friendly with unclear instructions from initial installation and set-up to use of the various features. There is even more unclear troubleshooting guidance. Customer support, what's that with HP? I have found the software to be unstable as well with some features working one time...

This is a excellent product. Setup was a breeze, either usb, ethernet or wireless. So simple. I'm glad that there's are the photo colors in this machine. No needs to buy a separate photo cartridges.  Enjoys the 4x6 photo tray. Card Reader in the easy to reach area of the printer.
Works great with my bluetooth dongle. I prints duplex manuals with this on fast draft, without lost of text quality. The paper tray is great since it's slides out from the bottom of it. When I printed out my first several manual, I think i had to replace the starter way past 500 sheets. Starters only give you about 100...

If you ever need a printer that does everything a typical home user does this is the printer for you. The printer has an automated document feeder that can be use for scanning or copying. It makes it easy to scan or copy large amount of documents in one sitting. With the six cartridge printing you can get true to life photos. Having the second tray make life simple without having to swap paper out. Photos are true to life and the colors are very vibrant. Having this printer allows you to save space without having to have 2 or 3 differnt units doing the same thing. This printer is now discontinue... review »

This is an excellent product, the only down side I have found is that each color has a separate cartridge so when a color runs out the printer will eventually stop working unless you replace it. However, at Best Buy if you buy 2 color cartridges at the same time you get $10 worth of printer paper free. I love being able to fax, scan, copy, print and also print photos all with the same product.

This machine is amazing, i get everyone done all at one time, and the picture come out so well. I've finished a scrapebook thats been sitting by itself for over 6 months now, in 3 days of having this printer. Faxed a resume to a new job, and scanned a personal check straight into my bank account!!! :)

It is so wonderful when I am able to find a computer device, as wonderful as this HP Photosmart C6180.

Now a days, being that computer prices have goten so much less expensive than even two years ago.  Since most families from what I heard from someone is that it comes to an average of 2.5 computers per household.

Personally, I have 5 computers, and they are not all in the same room.  Does this mean that I have to have 5 printers to be able to take care of all my printing needs, The answer with this multi-function printer is no.

I am able to connect this printer to computers the following...

I have had my Photosmart printer for a couple of years now.  I like the way it makes copies, prints and most of all print photos.  I have had a number of problems with the software.  I had to have HP send me a disk to correct some of the problems.  I am so glad that I had them send me the disks, cause I have used it a couple of times since the first problem.  I recently took it to the shop and attempted to use another printer.  It was a nightmare.  I had problems loading the software and could never get it to work.  I finally gave up and decided to wait until my HP was returned.  This...

I have a home office and I have had a number of All-In-One printers over the years.  The HP PhotoSmart C6180 All-In-One has been a pleasure to work with.  I do a number of things work-wise such as copying some paperwork here and there, scanning materials here and there as well print out items.  The photo printing is an extra for me and one that I find a bit of a luxury and useful when I need it.  I really use this machine as a workhorse.  While many would prefer a laser printer and I can understand their point, you cannot beat this quality for the ease of use, the quality of the product and...

This Wi-Fi connected printer and my laptop are in love, and I am right there to cheer them on. I haven't gotten into photo printing, but the functions are sweet, the printing excellent. the options plentiful and performance so far - better than expected. Worried that ink prices may put a damper on things in the future, but the scan function and copy are of great importance and work great. Scanning to my laptop and having the scans show up in a folder in my Pictures directory is the bomb. Price was excellent -waited for promotion and sale and walked away with this nice all in one for very little...

When I purchased this Hewlett Packard C6180 All in one printer I was specifically looking for a printer that would work regardless of which inks were full and which were empty.  Well as it turns out it doesn't work that way.  If you run out of a color ink the printer won't even print just black which is a big disappointment because sometimes I don't have the money to buy just one color which pretty much tenders my printer useless at this point
