Quiet printing, easy setup

I had no trouble setting up this printer and am basically a miserable Ludditer. The only thing that puzzled me was that the diagram said to remove a piece of foam and tape inside the printer. I spent 10 minutes trying to find something that wasn't there. This is the quietest printer I have ever heard. You don't put the ink cartridges in the printer until you've charged the battery, which took about an hour. The printer only has 2 ink cartridges. The appearance of one has a pink top while the other has a black top. You place each one in the printer next to its corresponding color and pull the piece of plastic that matches the color of the cartridge across the top of the cartridge until it snaps onto the two horizontal tabs on top of the cartridge. In order for the scanner to work, you must either perform an online installation or an installation using the supplied data medium. I set it up online as my laptop doesn't have a CD or DVD slot. The online installation worked fine. Just sit back and let him do his thing. I plan to only use this printer when traveling, so I won't be using it all the time. I like its compact size. It's so small, it even meets Sprint Airlines' Personal Item requirement for complimentary onboard transportation. UPDATE: I took it on 2 trips and TSA never asked to see it or turn it on when I checked at airports. The printer works very well. I know I use it on the go more often than advertised, print and scan about 300 pages a week (the manual says it's rated for 300 pages printed a month), but it never stuck or even hiccuped. It's still new but with heavy use I think if there was a problem it would have surfaced by now.

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Older model
