Description
If you’re looking for a single device that prints, faxes, copies, and scans, the HP Photosmart Printers C7280 All-in-One, Scanner, and Copier is your answer. The printer has a built-in 2.4-inch display you can use to easily print photos without a PC: Simply put your memory card into the memory card slot (compatible with Secure Digital/MultiMediaCard, CompactFlash, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Duo, xD-Picture Card), preview it on the display, and print. Enhancing your photos and removing red eye is as simple as pushing the HP Red-eye Removal button. The HP Photosmart Printers C7280 produces lab-quality, fade-resistant photo prints by using a six-ink color system for accurate color reproduction.
Photos will always print on the correct side of the paper with the right quality settings because of HP Auto Sense technology. And coupled with HP Advanced Photo Paper, the C6280 is sure to produce photos that are smudge and smear-resistant right from the printer. Print speed is outstanding as well, at up to 34 ppm black and 33 ppm color. The built-in memory can hold up to 90 pages and the fax is capable of color faxing, delayed sending, and auto-redialing with a maximum of 48 broadcasting locations. The scanner uses a Contact Image Scanner (CIS) for scans at up to 4800 dpi optical resolution with a scan size of up to 8.6 by 11.7 inches. HP Photosmart Printers C7280 supports Windows 2000, Windows ME, Windows XP Home and Professional, and Windows Vista as well as Mac OS X 10.3.9 and 10.4.x.
Reviews
By: Robert Salita “Software Developer”Printer, scanner, copier, fax, ADF, duplexer, color LED information display, USB, wired Ethernet, 802.11B/G wireless, memory card reader (CF, SD/MMC, XD, MS/Duo). The HP C7280 is a marvelous dream machine. Has a photo paper tray and a red eye removal button too. My unit (French) came with OCR scanning software. unit is surprisingly modest in size. Documentation and software is very good. Be patient with software installation. my computers are Windows Vista Premium. Before installing, disable anti-virus software, possibly firewall, file sync, and backup software.
The software warned about this. I ignored the warnings and the installation process failed until I disabled them. I’m using the printer to print documentation (mono), usually two-up and double sided. My printer is networked wirelessly to the router. First page out is very fast on my Ethernet wired computer but somewhat slow on my wireless notebook. The slowness is probably inherent to the notebook-to-router-to-printer wireless networking as opposed to the C7280. If you find this to be an issue, consider putting the printer on an AC power line network such as the well reviewed Panasonic BL-PA100KTA HD-PLC Ethernet Adaptor.
I’m really suprised at how well this newly produced machine works. Great work HP!. First, the installation software shouldn’t ask me to disable software to install new software. I’m not sure if this is a wireless network issue or an HP issue. Just an icon change is sufficient. Third, I haven’t found an option to print pages in reverse order. Wireless printing performance was improved when I changed the router’s wireless channel to a lesser used channel. I used a WiFi finder device to show all wireless networks and their channel numbers. There’s software that can do that too. I also changed the printer’s IP address to a static IP. The static IP assignment will lock the printer’s IP to a fixed address thus ending the IP roulette issue.
