Advantages: high quality prints, ink long lasting, fast printing

Disadvantages: occasional software problems

Very good print quality even for printing photographs. The HP PSC 1317 is the third all in one printer I have owned and by far the best. I have been using it for 9 months with no problems so far.
The standalone copy function gives a much easier option than scanning and printing which previous printers have had. The ink lasts much longer than in the other printers I have had (both of which were cannon printers) and the ink can be purchased at good value, especially supermarket versions. The printer is solid and well-built, it has survived several 100 mile car journeys while travelling to and from university with no problems.
The claim of 17 pages per minute (black) and 12 pages (colour) is easily reached and can be increased by reducing the print quality which still results in good prints when printing in black, though probably not worth the slight increase in speed for colour printing.
There are occasionally problems with the software provided, mostly with the scan function but regular updates from HP seem to have cured this at the moment and I have had no issues in the last 2 months.

Summary: Very good home and office printer.
