Summary: The worst printer I ever had
Comment: I would not have even accepted it for free if I would have known the trouble it would take to try to operate that useless printer. I had in the past a separate print server and it worked fine for several years. This supposedly new HP printer is a huge disappointment. I guess I'll be using it as a door stopper.

Summary: It just works (even with Linux)
Comment: First of all, I must make clear I'm using this printer with computers running Ubuntu Linux, using version 2.8.10 of the HPLIP driver software (the first version to support it). I have no comments on the Windows or Mac software that comes with the printer, as I don't use it.
I set the printer up with the control panel it has, it found my home network (802.11g, WPA2 encryption) immediately and I entered the network password and it connected first time. (after a power cut later, it reconnected itself fine).
The printer setup on my Linux computer automatically found the printer (wirelessly) without any problem and configured it in under a minute. Printed test page fine.
I've since printed other documents, done a 400MB full-page 1200dpi scan, sheet fed photocopies, enlarged photocopies etc all without any problem. All wireless (where applicable), haven't needed to plug the USB cable in. It just works. I haven't had any reason to test the fax features (don't have a landline phone).
Quality-wise, color images are not quite as good as my older (wired) HP C3180 printer, but still quite acceptable. For printing and (especially) scanning the J4680 is fairly slow, for home use that doesn't really matter.
I've even set up my Nokia E51 phone to print wirelessly to this printer, again a matter of entering the configuration details on the phone and it just worked.
I've deducted one star for the lack of a backlight on the screen, it's really hard to read in anything other than perfect light. Other than that, I'm struggling to find anything to complain about. I'll update this review when I do find something!

Summary: Returning to store tomorrow
Comment: I wanted this printer for the auto-document scanner and wireless features.
Wireless printing works with no problem but when trying to scan, error messages came up stating that there is no computer connected.
After a lot of time and frustration, I finally fixed that problem only to run into a more annoying one.
When using the auto feed scanner, the message came up that there was a paper jam, open and close the top cover to fix. Well, there was no paper jam. No paper anywhere yet the scanner refused to work. The only way I managed to get around this was to restart the printer every time I needed to scan a new document. What a waste of time.
This will be returned tomorrow for a different brand.
Worst printer ever.

Summary: big disappointment
Comment: I am extremely disappointed with this printer. My main motivation for purchasing it was the wireless capability, but I have been unable to get the wireless function to work. When I print the settings page, it indicates that all is correct, yet I simply cannot get it to work wirelessly. I tried to connect the printer both to my home network and using an adhoc peer to peer connection and neither would work. very frustrating! the software installation is extremely buggy and took several tries to install the printer even using a USB connection. I am really good with computers but this product has completely baffled me...HP customer service via email is a joke. About 6 techs sent me the same link to the same solution, and when I responded to their questions, they sent me the same info again...totally useless.
