REVIEWS:
1) Vista & F4180 problems: This product has a lot of problems with Vista home basics. I have nothing good to say about it. I would and will not recommend it to anyone that wants a plug and play unit. The sales dept mislead people saying it was Vista certified, compatible. If you want a printer product that is compatible with Vista I recommend getting it from someone else that will do a test and check to make sure it works. The people who sell this should send a 9.0 or newer version for the driver with this computer.
2) HORRIBLE: I bought this printer just a day ago. The set-up is made to look very easy on the guide, and even though i"ve followed every instruction there is step by step, i"ve ended up with a paperjam. On the first print job! It"s a horrible piece of expensive space cosuming useless machine. My initial idea was that a cheap all-in-one printer would be best suited for my work and a more expensive reliable one would just end up too costly. If you"re that person; DON"T SETTLE FOR THIS ONE!
3) inkjet versus laser cost-efficiency comparison: If like me you only need it for office purposes and not to print photos or anything else in color, buy a laser printer, it"s cheaper in the long run:
Cost or HP Deskjet F4180: 100.-
Cost of small b/w cartridge: 25$
page yield of b/w cartridge: 185 pages b/w approx. 2 cartridges (b/w + color) included in price.
Cost of Canon Imageclass MF 4270 Laserprinter: 300 (vary) cartridge with 1000 page yield included. Additional cartridge: 65$ yield: 2000 pages.
To print 1000 pages on the HP Deksjet, 1000/185 = 5.4 cartridges are required. Thus the equivalent price in terms of equal output would be:

at 1000 pages output:
HP Deskjet: 100$ + 4.4 x 20$ = $188
Canon (no extra toner needed) = $300

at 2000 pages output:
HP Deskjet: 100$ + 9.8 x 20 = 296
Canon: 300$ + 64 = 364

at 3000 pages output:
HP Deskjet: 100$ + 16.22 x 20 = 424
Canon 300$ + 64 = 364

So as volume of pages printed increases, the laser printer becomes more cost efficient. Add to that that the Canon includes a fax, and prints/scans and copies faster and with superior quality. Don"t bother with inkjets anymore.
4) Installation software is buggy: When my beloved Epson CX3810 All-In-One died after a long and useful life, I
thought I"d try a new vendor and bought the HP F4180 All-In-One, thinking HP,
with its long reputation for creating excellent printers, might build a
better one.

I was wrong.

I spent about twelve hours trying to get the software installed under Windows
XP. I first tried the software on the CD and then the updated software on the
Web. Both installation processes seemed to hang at the end and not complete. I
had some partial functionality but every time I booted XP the incompleted
installation would try to create a second and then a third copy of the
printer. Then I moved to HP"s online chat support (telephone support has been
long discontinued) and after about six hours and five different agents, it
still wasn"t working. The last agent promised to email me her solution, a
"Level 4 uninstall", which I didn"t get until hours after I had, at the end of
my rope, returned the HP F4180 and purchased an Epson CX8400 All-In-One which,
true to its older brother, the CX3810, installed out-of-the-box
perfectly. And, for five dollars more, the CX8400 has "ten times" the
capability of the F4180.

In fairness to HP, the F4180 *did* run on my Linux box and my virtual Windows
XP box running under Linux. Also, while their online chat support didn"t fix
my problem, their instructions were usually clear, if ineffective.

After this ordeal, I will never buy an HP Deskjet again. I write these words
sadly as I worked for HP in the early 80"s when the name HP was synonymous
with quality. No longer.

Sayonara, HP. Welcome back, Epson.

5) Works Great: I bought this all-in-one machine about 6 months ago. I use it with a computer running Windows Vista and have never had a single problem. At first I was skeptical of the low price, but this machine works quickly and perfectly every time. It is small enough to fit on my desk, and I highly recommend it for students.
