I bought the HP J3680 for my small business. I needed dependable printing of invoices and mailing labels, plus the ability to copy and scan. I also wanted a printer I could take on the road if I had to. The HP J3680 fit those requirements like no other printer I could find. On top of all that, I found a great price on Amazon.com
Caveats: I’ve used this only for printing black and white text.
Pros: Compact. Easy setup (Mac). Built in phone. Ink available everywhere. Takes up very little space on desk. The copier has many features to customize your job. The menu prompts are easy to follow. The phone (yes, even a phone!) has good sound.
Cons: Printing not the fastest, but the quality is exceptional. Cartridges are a bit finicky when being changed, but you’ll get the hang of it once you’ve done it.
Bottom Line: I’d buy it again. Very nice for the start-up small business or general home use.
Originally reviewed this printer in mid-2008 and reserved 1 star due to not knowing long-term performance. Have now had this item well over one year, and it is still going strong. Print quality is exceptional; copies look like originals. Fax works great and so does the scanner. Phone is a bonus. Best price was on line–including shipping, it cost less than at my local store. Easy to set up; software easy to install. Great item.
So the printer is great except for one thing. The only way to scan and photocopy items is by feeding them through the printer, this means that it is impossible to photocopy a page from a book or from a notebook without physically ripping the page out. As a student, this is a total bummer to me. Other than that, I haven’t used all the tools like the fax yet but it seems to be working well. My other issue is that installing it to my laptop was a huge pain. My laptop kept trying to automatically install the hardware but it couldn’t locate the info from the internet, then when I tried to install through the disc it kept giving me problems. Eventually it worked though.
I bought this model after reading the positive reviews, and now I can add mine to the list. The set-up was a breeze, and it does all of the functions (faxing, scanning, copying, printing) well. It doesn’t take up much room on the desk. It’s really convenient to have a fax machine at home, and the bonus is getting all of the other functions in this easy-to-use package at such a reasonable price.

Lots of of bloggers not really happy with the new iPad.There was 2 much hype regarding it and lots of people got disapointed.Thing is, I actually see some of the awesome potential uses of this gadget. Third-party apps for working with music, games, newsprints and magazine and books, all sorts of cool stuff, but they failed to sell it properly (aside from the books). It looks sort of not finished
