    Does anybody have this printer, or have heard about it? I need a printer for college this upcoming fall and I'm able to get a good buy on it, brand new for $70. Just wondering if anyone knows about it.

    From the review HERE it looks like this printer is not that great, but I've read good customer reviews... any thoughts anyone?

    I have that exact printer that I'll be using for college. It works very well. It prints and scans very quickly. The quality for printed text is pretty good. I haven't printed any pictures so I can't comment on that. Plus, it's probably the smallest all-in-one you'll going to find.

    I've got a similar printer as well and it's just fine for college. However, I'd recommend you download the driver without the software off of HP's site as the software is more bloat then it is anything else (at least for me).
