I removed C4780 from her desk and brought back her loyal HP PSC1315xi. My wife complains that when printing in draft mode from her iBook, wired to C4780, “If I don’t have my hand ready, the printed page shoots out and flies across the room! Why do they have it print so fast, John?” (Be careful what you wish for. The quality of text and photos has been consistently excellent, as expected from the latest generations of HP models. No home user will complain about seven or eight pages printed per minute.

Let’s agree this C4780 is fast, but not quite as fast as advertised, although PDF first page printing is often slower than ordinary documents. Not including the forty seconds required for me to observe wireless printing was stalled, then turn AirPort off and on, and have the document sent to the printer prior to the first page being printed, the elapsed time was just under four minutes, and some of the pages were intentionally blank. I printed thirty pages from HP’s PDF manual, at Normal quality in Grayscale, on plain paper. I’ll get a stack of paper and a couple of new cartridges, and test those numbers. HP claims that its C4780 can print 29 pages per minute (ppm) in black, and 23 ppm color, which is certainly faster than we’ve ever experienced testing and using previous home inkjet printers. Prints from computer documents are the quietest and fastest I’ve seen for typical consumer pages or photos. What you get with a C4780 that you don’t have with earlier units is good to very good wireless setup and printing — forty minutes from unpacking the carton to making your first wireless or wired print in OS 10.5 Leopard or 10.6 Snow Leopard.
#HP PHOTOSMART C4780 DRIVERS#
HP put its shoulder to the Macintosh wheel of evolution about five years ago, and the company’s drivers and OS X compatibility are reaching toward a new plateau of (almost) stress-free operation. Recent developments include built-in camera card readers, wireless connectivity, and advanced scanning and photo editing software, plus less expensive and more efficient inkjet cartridges.
The Photosmart C4780 is one of the latest in a long family tree of multifunction HP machines dating back many years, beginning with the 1200 series, I believe. This unit is similar or identical to the “free” printers offered to Apple store customers who purchase a new computer. HP developed this printer for home users to accomplish everyday printing needs.įor less than a hundred dollars U.S., you can purchase this sleek, black MFP from HP that prints beautifully, scans efficiently, and copies with enhanced options available.
#HP PHOTOSMART C4780 SOFTWARE#
If the darn thing prints reliably, makes a decent scan, and copies documents without too much fuss, people will be more concerned about the eventual cost of replacement ink than the details of software and hardware associated with a modern sophisticated device.
Most consumers won’t do a thorough evaluation of every aspect of their multifunction inkjet printer (MFP).
