I bought my HP PSC 1510V All-in-one printer about a year ago and out of a scale from 1-10, I would say my satisfaction is about a 4. The scanner & copier work great, but as for printing, well you have to stand close by for paper jams & malfunctions. I have had numerous times of pushing paper through the paper feed myself due to a screen popping up saying my printer was out of paper when in fact it wasnt. I have also had numerous times of paper jams which become real aggravating. I use my printer a lot with my business and need something more dependable. I dont want to take the time to stand and self feed the printer every time I have a lot of pages to print.
The ink cartridges are very easy to buy I get mine at Wal-mart for under $25.00 each.
They are easy to replace too. You just pull down the front facing cover and the cartridges move over to the open area available for replacing ink, pop out the old and pop in the new. So easy even my 11 year old can do this for me!!!
Installation was very simple and the cd program you get with the printer is great and very self explainatory, just not worth the pain with the mishaps of this product.
The dimensions are 17.09 x 11.42 x 6.28 and weighs less than 12 lbs. Very nice size that fits easily on my desk and easy to clean around and under.

Printing photos from the HP PSC 1510V was nice, much better than any of my other printers, but as I said before, you have to stand by for the malfunctions or you'll have a headache. I haven't used the PictBridge camera port which is located on the front of the printer, so I can't say how well that works. I print photos straight from my computer.
The control panel which is located on the top of the printer is very easy to use and understand. My husband can even adjust things on this w/out me having to explain it all to him over and over again - and that is wonderful considering he is very electronic illiterate, LOL.
Using the scanner is fairly simple as well. And I must say that it works just fine. It's a flatbed scanner, so all you do is lift up the top flat part of the printer, lay flat on the glass (face down) what you want to scan, then hit the scan button. Automatically the HP program you get with the all in one printer starts and then you can decide what you'd like to do with the scanned item.
You can also choose to make copies in black or in color when using the scanner. Instead of hitting the scan button, hit the copy button either in Black or Color. I have had no problems with either of these features. There is no fax on this product, but I use the fax I have in my computer - which can be a pain.
Pretty much, the HP PSC 1510V All-in-one series is a big disappointment just for the simple fact that it jams too easily and says its out of paper when in fact it isnt. I need a more dependable all in one printer and would not recommend this to anyone needing a fast reliable printer/scanner/copier. It has great possibilites with all the features and the size is nice, but the printer needs a lot of work.
I paid around $79.00 for this and feel that it was too much. But then again, I guess you get what you pay for and I should have done better research and spent more on what I was needing.
