Have You Ever Wanted a Network or Wireless Scanner?

It seems like when I review hardware, most of you listen. I look at all kinds of hardware. Today, I was looking at the new The HP Photosmart C6380 Printer, Scanner, Copier is a wireless all-in-one that delivers stunning photos and high-quality documents, copies and scans. Easily share and print from notebooks and PCs, using built-in wireless or wired networking. Print laser-quality text and lab-quality photos consistently with the 5-ink printing system. Print exactly what you see onscreen with HP Smart Web Printing. Print documents or make copies fast at speeds up to 33-ppm black and up to 31-ppm color, 4×6″ photos in as fast as 18 seconds. Enjoy beautiful instant-dry, smudge-resistant photos using HP Vivera ink and HP Advanced Photo Paper. Print lab-quality photos that last for generations using AIO Functions Color printing, color copying, color scanning, black-and-white printing. Compatibility - Compact Flash, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Duo, Secure Digital/MultiMediaCard, Secure Digital High Capacity Card, and xD-Picture Card System Requirement - Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 or higher, Intel Pentium II, Celeron or compatible processor, 233 MHz or higher, 128MB RAM, 800MB free space, CD-ROM, USB port, Windows Vista, Internet Explorer 6 or higher, 800-MHz 32 or 64-bit processor, Mac OS X v10.4, v10.5, PowerPC G3, G4, G5 or Intel Core Processor, and Windows XP. It happens to be more than just an average printer. It’s also a scanner. It’s also a copier. It’s also completely wireless!

I can use this machine to scan a document into any of the computers sitting in my network, without having to plug something in. I can also copy and print wirelessly. I can put this thing anywhere within my wireless access range, and be able to get to it from any computer. There are media slots built into the printer, as well, to accept your memory cards. There are several auto-adjustments build right in, such as red-eye reduction.
One of the coolest things is a setting that will let you print out pre-defined templates! Let’s say you’re a musician. You can press a button and print out paper that allows you to start writing down your next concerto. You can print out lined paper, just like you would use in school! And yes, you can choose between child rule, wide rule or college rule paper!
Setup was a breeze, as was using the machine. Some people may feel daunted at the thought of connecting a wireless printer to their network. I promise you, it’s not hard! This machine definitely passes the Pirillo test with flying colors. I absolutely love the fact that the only cable running to it is the power cable. That truly is it.
Once again, HP delivers exactly what we need, with a machine that will set the bar for others to come.

How are you going to let us know when/if you get a better deal on this. I am definitely interested, especially if you get it cheaper than it already is!
The photographer that did our wedding photos just gave all the digital photos to us for free, and we don’t have a printer or scanner at all at home. This looks like an ideal solution because our computer area at home is fairly cramped and we could place the printer somewhere else and not have to worry about wiring :P…
Very thorough review, keep up the good work Chris!
