Print quality was excellent - even in draft mode - and I was happy with everything I scanned or copied. The optical scanning resolution is 1200DPI, the hardware scanning resolution is 1200x2400DPI and by enhancement it is possible up to 19200DPI. Scanning from the flatbed is as easy but of course you do need the PC to be connected and switched on, you can scan from the unit but providing it is switched on it is probably easier to insert the page in the flatbed and then do everything from the PC. Remember my timings are from pressing the copy button to print a single copy. Here I use the preset default settings, a black copy took around 40 seconds and a colour one around a minute. You can of course copy both black and colour pages while the PC is off or even disconnected.

I am somewhat surprised that the more full featured Photosmart Premier was not included. Not that fast but the quality of both was good.

Printing A4 borderless pages using Windows Printer and Fax Viewer or HP Photosmart Essentials came out at around the same time, printing in best mode on photo paper at around 4 minutes this is with both a single image and four images on an A4 sheet. Doing my standard printing tests in 'fast draft' mode you get good clear black printing, the ubiquitous 200 word document prints at 20PPM while a more normal 1500 word document spread over four pages prints at 15PPM.
