"Better than my $300 Epson" on by sreynolds_2
Pros: Great for Text and Photos
Cons: Have to swap cartridge for 6 color photo printing
Summary: I've owned my 4160 for approxsimately 5 months and it has exceeded all of my expectations. I bought it to serve my everyday print needs, since I have a higher dollar epson for photos. The 4160 performed so well with text that I decided to try it for photos. I purchased the 99 photo cartridge and swapped it with the 98 black to achieve 6 color printing. The 4160 did such an excellent job with the photos that I decided to get rid of the more expensive Epson. I would highly recommend this printer.

"Great Printer - But hard to install on a SR2010NX Presario Desktop PC." on by gccradioscience
Pros: This printer works well if installed correctly on different PCs not Presario PC such as the SR2010NX.
Cons: Printer did not install first time on my Presario SR2010NX for the first and third time.
Summary: I really enjoyed my printer, but this printer for the first time will cause driver conflict with Presario PC's as far as I observed. The second recovery, while everything was installed but errors out it worked well. The third recovery the "destructive recovery" meaning back to factory built settings, it failed to install again cause the so called Windows Wizard said that the driver cannot be installed cause its unknown.
Updated
I just wanted to say that I think the installation process took longer than expected. And then surprisingly it was installed when I checked the printer preferences that it was added for some weird reason. I thought it was not installed properly. I am so glad its installed. But HP, Please make a better driver software that makes it quick and easy and to verify that the computer installed it correctly Weird Installation by its about time! -
"Use Plain Paper ONLY" on by pderoo1
Pros: cheap cheap cheap
Cons: can't print on card stock or labels
Summary: This product is the WORST at printing on anything but plain paper. Forget card stock and labels -- it won't feed the sheet(s) right and it'll start printing above the form! I've wasted I don't know how many sheets of business card stock and label stock on this printer.
