Easy Set up...once you get the right Drivers By Glass Audio lover I looked for a replacement for my Canon MultiPass F50 and needed a Mac-compatible printer that has Ethernet connectivity, an auto-document feeder, and could print 4x6 photos. It came down to this versus the Canon MP830. I chose the HP since the Canon lacked an Ethernet interface.PRO's:First, the unit is very attractive and matches the style of my Mac Mini. Second, it has both an Ethernet and WiFi built in, which is great for sharing it amongst all the computers in our house, both Mac and PC. Third, it has a built in slot to hold 4x6 photoprints, which it prints directly from a camera or PC or memory card. Fourth, it has ADF, which is great when you have 10+ pages to fax and hate to feed them in one by one. Fifth, print quality looks great, nearly the same as the Canon 830. Sixth, I got it super cheap at Costco for $239 (they were running a rebate). Seventh, the unit is smaller than most multi-function printers, Eighth, it has a little color LCD for viewing prints off a memory card.Cons:It cannot scan 35mm slides (which the Canon is able to). Also, unlikely that it scans an 8.5x14 document. The print cartridges do not look like they can be manually refilled with ink kits (not that this is always a good idea). The included Mac software was wrong (it was for a 7100 series), so make sure you visit the HP site and download the right software, then it installs easy. Once I had the right software, it took me no time to configure it on a network with 2 Mac Mini's. Lastly, print cartridges are not exactly a bargain: the color ones are $10 ea (you need 5) and the black ink ones are $18 ea. The cartridges look really small, so it will be interesting to see how much print output I get. Buy refills at costco, where they are $56 for a complete set, and $46 for 3 black cartridges.I'll play with it more, but so far, I am impressed it with the speed and quality, and the cost versus features is simply unbeatable. Especially if you are a Mac user, finding a Ethernet and wifi enabled multi-function printer with ADF is pretty much impossible at this price. 35 of 38 people found the following review helpful. HP Photosmart C6150 All-in-One Printer By F. Valerio This is an excellent all in one (AIO) printer. By far the feature I like the best is the support for 802.11g wireless networking. It does come with a built in 802.3 Ethernet card also which I may use if I move the printer closer to the router. Since I have a wireless network already setup connecting with the AIO was a snap. I loaded the software that came with the C6150. It ask you how you want to connect to the printer. You have three options (1)CAT 5 cable-Ethernet, (2)Wireless and (3)USB cable-which by the way is included in the box. Once the software was installed I had to enter my encryption key and SSID using the printer front panel. You do have an option to use the Easysetup button that comes with most Linksys routers now. I like configuring things manually but you do have the option to use a wizard if you like. I ran a test from the front panel and a report printed out showing everything PASSED and was working fine. I also ran a FAX test after connecting my phone line to it. So now I can send a fax using my wireless connection through the router which then passes the FAX information to the C6150 which then sends it out my telephone line (pretty cool). I don't want to call this a printer because it is much more than that. It also has a built in memory card reader which reads all the different format: CompactFlash Type I and II, IBM Microdrive, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Duo (adapter not included, purchase separately), mini-SD (adapter not included, purchase separately), Secure Digital/MultiMediaCard, xD-Picture Card This machine prints incredible photos on the 4 x 6 glossy paper that it comes with. Also has a separate tray for the 4 x 6
