The scanner's software interface is poor, with key settings buried several mouse clicks away. However, photo prints suffered from poor shading and visible dithering.

The Officejet produces mono text prints that rival those of most laser printers. Irritatingly, we couldn't find a way to switch the default Letter paper size to A4 using Windows' printer preferences or the printer's onscreen menus and web interface. The first time it's switched on, the printer takes about half an hour to charge its ink reservoirs, align its print heads and auto-initialise. The heads are easy to replace if they become blocked. Its separate print heads reduce costs, as headless ink cartridges are cheaper to produce. It's the only inkjet here to provide a duty cycle figure at 15,000 pages, it's on a par with more expensive laser printers.
