    CNET Review

    August 28, 2006

    The Good: Decent overall print quality and speed; built-in media card reader; inexpensive; lots of options for photo printing; network ready; support both Windows and Mac PCs.

    The Bad: No PictBridge port; limited paper handling; fewer task options than printers in the same price range.

    The Bottom Line: The HP Photosmart C5180 is a perfectly acceptable photo all-in-one, but you can get more features and faster print speeds for the same amount of money.

    Review Summary: The well-priced Photosmart C5180 has much to offer for printing photos and for sharing on a small network. It delivers high-quality glossy photos, but its plain-paper photo prints are not great

    Review Summary: Overall the C5180 is a competent all rounder, but excels nowhere. If network plug ability is a must, it's worth a look.
