Pros: Superb, uncompromising quality photo scans.
Cons: A bit finicky negative auto feed.
Summary: Photosmart Scanner by HP is a sure winner! Being an Epson fan, I was reluctant to buy the HP scanner. The only reason I bought it was because an Epson scanner was not available at my local store. Boy, am I glad I discovered the Photosmart. I am a ... read more

Pros: Looks nice from outside, otherwise I can't find any.
Cons: Poor quality, not reliable (software), slow, no updates to software to fix bugs.
Summary: I've had this scanner for a few years now and have been mostly unhappy with it. The software often cannot find the scanner until I switch it to another USB port. The files are often being saved of a smaller (1/3) than expected size and resolution based
