Do not believe the positive hype like I did ~ there are lots of shills for HP hyping this POS. This printer is a nightmare. I installed it on a network to service 3 clients: Windows 7, Windows XP, and ubuntu 9.1. Installation on windows 7 is fraught with errors. I managed to get a driver installed eventually, but forget the scanning software. This is after working with tech support to get the latest drivers. Software installation works on Windows XP, I wish I could say the same for the printer. Duplex printing jams every other page with multiple paper types. Multiple scan jobs require a printer power-cycle between each job. Don't be in a hurry with this POS, need about 45s per page. I had the best results for printing, faxing, scanning using the Opensource software under ubuntu, but there is no getting around the slowness, jamming, high ink consumption, and constant power cycles.
