When scanning to a media card, you can save the file only as a JPEG.

When scanning photos, you can scan to print or to storage, either to the PC or a media card. The scan menu shows all the features we'd expect to see on an all-in-one in this price range. One feature we didn't see was the ability to hold and print incoming faxes at a later time, though this feature is more common on office-oriented all-in-ones. Using the fax menu, you can change the resolution of your faxes, send a broadcast fax to multiple numbers, and set up a delayed fax. The included user guide helps you set up the fax according to your equipment type-DSL, regular phone line, and so forth-and the way you want to handle incoming faxes with regard to answering machines and the like. One of the surprising features of the HP Photosmart C7180 is the inclusion of fax capability, which is normally reserved for office-oriented printers.

The setup menu makes it easy to find available networks and to enter a password if the network you want to access is secured.
Even better, it has built-in 802.11g wireless capability, a rarity for non-office-oriented printers.

The printer supports both Mac and Windows operating systems and is networkable, so everyone on your network can share.

The process is simple enough-just insert the CD to install drivers and software-but it takes a long time, requiring nearly 20 minutes to install on our machine. Setting up the Photosmart C7180 is an exercise in patience. HP's color prints are more expensive than Canon's, though, at about 7.1 cents per page. HP estimates that it costs 2.5 cents per page to print black text, about the same as for Canon's top photo all-in-ones. The 10mL black tank costs $17.99 to replace, while the 4mL color tanks cost $9.99 each. Each tank has its own labeled spot so that you know where they go. The C7180 employs a six-ink system: black, yellow, light cyan, cyan, light magenta, and magenta. In most printers, the tanks are directly attached to the printhead, meaning the printer must be powered on to access them. Simply lift the scanner portion of the printer, and you'll find six front-mounted tanks. Additional photo-centric buttons allow you turn photo fix on and off, make reprints, e-mail photos from a media card, and initiate film/slide scans.Īccessing the ink tanks on the Photosmart C7180 couldn't be easier. To the right of the LCD are menu-navigation buttons, including a back button, and zoom buttons for viewing an individual photo vs. On the left is an alphanumeric keypad menu-launch buttons for copy, scan, and fax and start buttons for each task. Situated in the center of the panel is a gorgeous, 3.6-inch color LCD. The printer's control panel is front mounted on a shelf that swivels through about 45 degrees, starting from a complete vertical (flush with the front side of the printer). The padded platen protector detaches from the scanner lid to allow for slide and negative scanning. On the underside of the scanner lid, there's an attachment that holds slides and negatives for scanning. The scanner lid detaches entirely so that you can scan or copy very thick originals. The printer lacks an automatic document feeder, more commonly found on office-oriented machines, so you won't be able to scan legal-size documents, nor can you perform batch copies or scans. The scanner can accommodate up to A4-size originals. It measures 18.3 inches wide, 15.4 inches deep, and 8.5 inches tall, and it weighs a hefty 26 pounds.
The HP Photosmart C7180 is a big machine, and it requires a big chunk of desktop real estate. You'll likely pay more than $400, but you'll have the best of both worlds. If you require both office-oriented functions and great photos, consider getting a mono laser all-in-one, such as the Dell 1815dn and supplementing it with a stand-alone photo printer. On the downside, you'll lose the fax and networking features with the Canon, but you can easily network a USB printer through a router. The Canon Pixma MP950 costs the same and boasts faster performance with all tasks but photo printing, and it has superior print quality. It performs its primary task of printing photos with aplomb, however. So what's the drawback? Unfortunately, the Photosmart C7180 is relatively slow at all of its tasks, and its text and graphics print quality leave a lot to be desired.

It's also network ready and wireless enabled, and it features a PictBridge port, a media card reader, built-in Bluetooth functionality, and generous support options. For $400, you get a machine that prints, scans, copies, and surprisingly, faxes. The Photosmart C7180 sits near the top of HP's consumer all-in-one photo printer line (only the 3310 all-in-one is more expensive).
