Buying & install HP OfficeJet Pro 8780 all-in-One
This was the easiest and successful purchase and installation (set up) that I have experienced of any of the HP Printers (read 5 printers) I acquired. I highly recommend using HP Services and this HP OJP 8740 All-in-One for your home or office. My experience was OUTSTANDING..

Great All In One Printer
This printer functions well in all aspects. Fast, quiet, great picture quality. What I love most is its ability to copy both sides on one pass. The app works well with all devices in our family. Definitely a great purchase.

An excellent upgrade from our previous OfficeJet
An excellent upgrade to my home office. Improvements compare to previous printer OfficeJetPro 8600 Plus: The single-pass duplex scan is the best new feature. The scanning speed is excellent for home, and much quieter. Ink consumption is improved while keeping printing quality intact. The touch screen is so much more sensitive. New design allows printed sheets to rest in an area where I do not need to open a receiver, so the printer size stays always the same. Very very happy with our new printer.

All in one features
Glad I purchased this printer. Easy to set up and simple to use. Like the 8.5 x 14 format for scanning and a second tray for printing.

Perfect Home Office Printer?
I'm extremely pleased with this printer. Great quality printing. It's very quiet and hardly shakes at all compared to my trusty old HP L7780 that was 10 years old and got me through college with a lot of duplex printing, copying and faxing! The only negative is that the setup instructions were seriously lacking and almost useless. Thank goodness for You Tube. You cannot go wrong with this baby.
