Strengths: Quick Accurate Weaknesses: sometimes spotty Summary: It prints fairly quickly, is very accurate and has good color pictures. It always works when I plug my computer in directly, and almost never screws up with very small document sizes wireless
Strengths: Wireless, prints beautifully Weaknesses: Printer goes to "sleep" - wired computer will "wake up" printer - wireless will not - I have to go and turn on for the wireless to work. Summary: I called tech support and the setting
From the moment I opened the box, to printing my first test page, the HP Deskjet 6980DT was a winner. Setup was a breeze using a TCP/IP connection. The dual paper trays makes my job a lot easier in that I utilize various media types. You just have to reme
I absolutely love this printer and it's capabilities...-it is a state of the art machine with duplexing capabilities-it allows for people, such as me with only a laptop, to print without connecting it directly to the printer and limiting your ability
If you are looking for a fast, high capacity inkjet, this one is for you. And it's wireless connectivity means you don't have to deal with the ugly mess of wires between your computer and printer.
I also have a DeskJet 6980 and loved it. Very fast, USB, ethernet, bluetooth, and wireless connectivity in a built in print server to boot. I just bought this 6980dt from Amazon because I needed the duplexor and the 250 sheet tray is a bonus. It all insta
This printer works great. Set up for either wireless or as a printer on a network. Just plug it into the network and it will get an IP address and you are ready to go in minutes. It worked so well I bought another on for home which I am using wireless. Th
Worth the money. I've had it for a couple of months and everything works well. No problems.
This is the only printer I found that did everything I wanted:- network connectivity (using wired)- 2 trays- duplex printing- inkjet w/photo quality- actually a fast printerI've had a 6840DT for over a year and been thrilled. I just got the 6980 for
I read some of the reviews about installation issues and they concerned me initially. But, when it came time to get the printer up and running on my wireless network, there really weren't any issues. Just following the directions (and avoiding the Ea
I am enjoying this printer a great deal. The colors are nice and crisp. I have had no issues at all.
Have had the printer for about a month now. Was very easy to set up wireless and this was the main reason for the puchase. Print quality is good, but have not used the printer for pictures yet. It seems to be a good printer for the price. I have another 3
This is my 5th HP printer in the last 10 yrs; I did such HEAVY printing that I WORE THEM OUT!! To me, that sure speaks well of the HP product.Installation was hard like lots of you said, but the HP tech was happy to walk me through it & unload the exc
After using monochrome laser printers for the better part of 8 years or more, I finally decided to go with something that had color capabilities, fast printing, and networking capabilities. The 6980DT does all of that in addition to having the automatic d
I purchased this printer to use on a wireless network so that everyone in the house would have a printer available to them without having to use a printer share on a particular computer. It took about 20 minutes from the point that I opened the box till t
This is the BEST Inkjet printer I have ever used...I can sit in my bedroom upstairs and print documents on this printer in my home office (located in the lower level...I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this printer to anyone...
Based on a couple weeks of light use, I am very pleased with this printer...I've had a number of $100 inkjets over the years and they all start out good and then fade...The color cartridge was bad right out of the box but replaced by HP within 2 days.
This is a good printer. It is a WORKHORSE. The only issue I have with it is the platform for the paper when it exits does not allow for either a large build up of letter size paper or for more than one legal page to sit until you can get to it. I print a
ordered this for my wife and daughters while deployed to iraq. they were able to set it up without assistance and it worked perfectly. what more could you ask for?
I have used this printer for about 2 months now. It is really easy to setup and get running either direct connect or via wireless. It is very fast when printing single sided. It is quite a bit slower with double-sided printing mostly because it waits for

Strengths: Printing is very good and fast. Wireless printing is convenient. Weaknesses: Wireless setup is EASY for UN-SECURED wireless network only. The manual is no use and confused. Summary: I have a SECURED wireless network, I could't setup the De
Strengths: High quality; wireless convenience Weaknesses: ink expensive Summary: I’ve had this wireless inkjet printer for about four months. The printing quality is very good. The speed also is good. The wireless capability made it very convenient t
Strengths: Exceptionally fast for an ink jet. Output quality ranges from good to very good. Built-in Ethernet and 802.11g networking. Direct printing from cameras. Weaknesses: For best quality, you need to change cartridges to match the output, swapping b
Bought this printer specifically for the wireless print feature. This one was easy to set-up (worked the first time) and the print quality is excellent.
I was looking for a replacement for a color printer that was networkable so the kids could print from around the house. As I perused the reviews, the HP6980 came highly recommended by PC Mag, plus it came with an automatic duplexer which suited my paper-c
Very good printer at this price point. Fast printing, both color and B&W, with lots of control over quality settings. However, the software is HP-bloated and not useful if you already have useful image cataloging and editing tools like Photoshop or Pi
Printer works great, but write-up made it sound as though it has internal wi-fi, but it doesn't still neeed to hook router up to it to make it wireless. Kind of defeated my purpose having to purchase another peice of equipment to set it up the way I
HP 6980 and the 6980DT are good printers if you are not running VISTA on your computer. HP has not updated their drivers to accommodate duplexing with VISTA. Quite annoying. I paid for a feature that I can not use until HP gets around to update their driv
The order, placed thru Amazon, was filled by Tiger Direct.When the printer arrived the duplex adapter that lets you print on both sides of the page was broken. No big deal these things happen.I contacted Tiger Direct and HP. Tiger Direct offered to swap p
The printer is above average once you get it set up and running. The reason I didn't rate it higher is that the new HP install programs are horrible - absolutely the worst I've seen in years - bloated, buggy, and a general pain in the neck.One m

I have had, and have fought with, this printer for over 12 months now (system: Dell PC, XP, then Vista Ultimate). I have never been able to get the 6980 lemon to work correctly on either my wireless or ethernet connection. Usually my PC says the printer i
We're running a network with 2 desktops and a laptop all running Windows XP. I picked this printer because it was networkable, and the wireless feature was particularly enticing. The paperwork that came with the printer was of no help in setting up t
