 Excellent WiFi Printer August 8, 2008

I now own two of these printers. I bought the one for home and another for the office. HP tech support was great help in getting the WiFi setup (even for a purchased refurb!) and once done, they have been solid. So great to be able to print from my laptop from anywhere in the house! And I think this printer comes at a very reasonable cost for a WiFi printer. Highly recommended!
Don't listen to the whiners - it's a great printer August 5, 2008

Installation is easy if one merely follows the directions. The people writing about problems with the wireless setup are simply inept. I had it set up in ten minutes - nothing could be simpler. The print quality is great. Mine came with an additional 250 page tray and the two-sided printing feature which are listed as "optional" in the user's guide. I've got all four of my wireless computers connected and everything is perfect! Great printer!
 Great Wireless Printer July 7, 2008
R. Glover
After obtaining the updated software I was able to successfully connect wirelessly. This is an excellent printer with superb print quality (both B&W and Color) and speed. Wireless printing is masterful!!!! I am completely happy and would highly recommend!
The only reason it's not rated higher is because the system won't allow me to change the rating. Otherwise, I would rate it a 5.
Good luck with your purchase.
Printed great photos until / And ... wow ... great HP service! June 11, 2008

Owned for over 2 years. I had no problems connecting wirelessly or via network. I was very pleased with the photo prints. However, my printer is a large paperweight. The ink cartridge retaining spring and the plastic mount that holds the spring in place have broken off rendering the device useless. I was always careful when replacing ink cartridges. Recommend Extreme caution when replacing yours.

Update: I contacted HP. No, I didn't call them. Rather, I used the instant chat from their web site. I explained my situation and they offered to send me a replacement printer at no charge to me DESPITE the printer warranty having expired. The replacement printer arrived at my house 2 days later. Good Job HP
A fix for a setup that works for 6980 for a PC and a Mac April 11, 2008

After reading many of the reviews regarding setup for The HP 6980 Printer, I was driven to share a fix that works, as I have a tabletop Dell PC and a Macbook Pro. I too became very frustrated while trying to setup this printer.
The fix was to get rid of my old NETGEAR Router and purchase an Apple Airport Basestation ($180.00. Yes, expensive.... but it it lowers my blood pressure, etc., it was well worth it). Called Apple Tech Support (In The USA by the way) who helped me setup printer using ethernet connection for The PC and wireless connection for the Macbook Pro. (If, you have not used Apple Support, it is remarkable)
Now, the PC and The Macbook Pro works flawlessly with The HP 6980 Printer, each and everytime. By the way, The PC runs on XP (I wouldn't load Vista, even if Microsoft gave it to me for free). When working with Apple to setup, the Macbook Pro was running on the last version of Tiger. Once Leopard was realeased... I installed it without a hitch and the HP 6980 never skipped a beat.
Hope this helps someone out there. I think the HP # 6980 Printer is an excellent printer for home or small business usage. The only drawback for which I can agree with the previous review contributors on.... is the setup issues and HP Support from India, which leaves a lot to be desired.
In other words.... your old router (type, age and brand) might be the culprit... instead of The HP # 6980 Printer.
