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 have not had this printer for very long, and it is not my primary printer. I purchased it because I was looking for a printer that had a copy function that would copy legal size paper and had an atomatic document feeder. The price on the newer ones with these features are out of my price range and the ink is more expensive. I have always enjoyed my HP products so that was another +. The fact that it can be used as a fax, copier and auxillary printer for the low price I paid makes it a winner in my book.

I bought this product becuase I needed a scanner with automatic document feed; I have been thrilled with how easy it was to set up; I can now scan 20 pages at a time, and turn into a pdf document within just a few minutes. Have not had one jam in the month that I''ve had it. Color prints are very nice. Great deal for the money!
