I use it mostly for computer printing, but it's very handy for the copying and faxing portion also. I haven't used it yet for the scanning, but will sooner or later.Here's the skinny so far:Pros:1. Can do it all, faxing, printing, copying, and scanning.2. Quality of the printing is very good.3. Set-up is easy and fast.Cons:1. Big and bulky size is a tight fit on certain desks, especially if you have overhanging cabinets over your desk or table.2. For high-volume use, you might be asking too much of this machine.3. Fine-tuning to remove the audible high-pitched tone from your phone line might be bothersome.Don't forget to get the USB cord and the extra phone-line, if it's going to be place far away from the nearest phone jack. 21 of 21 people found the following review helpful. Great For Home Office --- But.... By C. Swanson I've had the 3330 for about 6 weeks and am very happy so far. Two concerns so far, one is with using odd sized paper, and the other is the scanner function. If scanning is an important function, you will want a different machine, I've never had a dedicated scanner that was so very slow. Making copies and sending faxes goes well, not sure why the scanner is so slow.I use Windows XP Home and had some trouble with using odd size paper, e.g. small envelopes, 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" paper, etc. HP Service wasn't very helpful, just suggesting that I reinstall the drivers. Did get it working by defining custom paper sizes in my MS Office suite, so now it works fine with any paper I want to use.Except for the paper problem, and the slow scanning I would have given it 5 stars 15 of 15 people found the following review helpful. Good for home business, not so good for pure home use By N.W. I have had my HP Laserjet 3330 for a couple of years now. Despite its fairly bulky size, I enjoy being able to get my separate printer, scanner, and fax machine off my desk, so I save a lot of space. The flatbed scanner was a must-have feature, and I love the automatic document feeder. Print quality is consistently speedy and high quality and I save bundles compared to an inkjet-based multifunction. (Those may cost less initially, but you'll pay for it in those overpriced ink cartridges!). My primary use for this device is as a printer, my main complaint is the paper tray is very cheap and poorly designed. Try to remove the tray without removing the paper first and you have a big mess on your hands. As a fax machine, this is a huge step up from my old dedicated fax machine, since I can fax directly from my computer, with the flatbed scanner, or with the automatic document feeder. I do have a couple of gripes with the fax software, though (see list of gripes below).As a scanner, I love having both the automatic document feeder and the flatbed scanner for scanning oddly-shaped documents. When I first purchased it, the ADF was horribly slow because the scan head would have to go all the way over to the left edge to reach the adf, then returned all the way to the right edge between each page. It made it slow and tedious. HP fixed that bug with a BIOS update available on their web site in early 2003. Otherwise, I love its ability to put a big stack of documents in and walk away. I have scanned thousands of black-and-white documents and the speed is adequate and the ADF rarely misfeeds. Do NOT, however, purchase this scanner for its ability to scan photographs. Color scans are of dissapointingly poor quality. (pretty much unusable for high quality scanning of photos). I have great success networking this printer in a peer-to-peer environment. I think there was some comment about being able to use the scanner and fax functions from networked computers, but I have never attempted this.Gripes:I had hoped to clear up my desk with a multifunction that could do everything I wanted to do with a printer, fax,
