Advantages: Many features, good quality, cheap

Disadvantages: Lots of software, can malfunction, big.

The HP Photosmart C3180 is a relatively cheap printer, but still gives a very good quality of print and comes with some nice features.

The print quality itself is very high, images/photos and good quality and text is clear, crisp and readable.

The scanner is also very good. You need to install the HP software, which is a pain because there are over 5 different applications and they are all confusing and some start autmatically when you turn on your computer which is annoying.

But once you have the software installed, the printer/scanner is great. You can easily scan in text/images and rotate and crop things. Once you have scanned something in you can use HP's amazing OCR software to convert text into a word document that you can edit. This software works surprisingly well, but you should read through your work first because there might be some mistakes.

This printer-scanner is great value for money, is very good quality and has some great features.

Summary: Worth the money, but it can go a bit wrong.
