    Scanning doesn't work with OS X Lion

    Out of the box, the printer was pretty straight-forward to set up. Hooked it up on my network no problem via the web interface using Safari. Image Capture couldn't open a session to the printer for scanning! HP Scan couldn't open a session either - timed out. Then I went on to my nice, clean Macbook Pro running the latest version of Lion and it too couldn't open session. Then I tried using my iMac 20 running Snow Leopard and it couldn't even see the printer via Bonjour!
    I would not recommend this printer due to the fact that out of the box it failed to configure correctly under OS X Lion for scanning. For printing it worked just fine; I'm sure the copy feature works as well. But I really need the scanning portion to work. And it didn't. I shouldn't have to go surfing the web for fixes on a brand new printer. Buyer beware!

    Poor ink usage

    HP continues to disappoint me with their ink usage. The printer works fine however, no way does the ink cartridges last anywhere near their claims!!!! I use my IPAD 2 with the AirPrint and on occasion I can,t find the printer but it works well when it works. This is my last HP printer! I have 4 different models...the best was the T45 all in one.....
