great deal
I'm a first time user for this type of printer(wireless) I'm totally enjoying the freedom I'm getting from having to get up and move from room to room just to print, so I really enjoy this feature. It's a great product for very little money. Well worth it. Thank you.

Excellent value for all-in-one convenience
I find this printer to be a fantastic value, as it has all of the features I need without a lot of fuss and requires a relatively small amount of space. Set-up was also easy, and all functions work to my full satisfaction. I would recommend this model to anyone who wants a copier/scanner combined with printing capabilities, especially since the features include the choice to automatically print on both sides of the paper.

Awesome little printer
The ink doesn't dry, it works, apple print is genius, all around very happy. Would've been nice if there was a fax option for this as well, but for the price, it can't be beat!
