    CNET Review

    March 19, 2007

    The Good: Built-in networking, including wireless; supplies ADF and media card reader; PictBridge port can be used to connect storage devices; great print quality and good scan quality; dedicated photo paper tray.

    The Bad: Task speeds are a bit slow; color prints can be expensive; photo print features need to be fleshed out.

    The Bottom Line: The HP Photosmart C6180 all-in-one tries to be everything to everyone, and ultimately it fails to meet this lofty goal. It's a good printer at a decent price, however, for the home user who wants to consolidate all tasks into one machine.
