When it comes to troubleshooting common problems or enhancing your photos, the C7180 lets you remove red-eye and experiment with adaptive lighting so each photo you print will look like it came from a lab.

Customer Review: Works good when working
This printer works really good when it wants to work. I always get the error of incorrect paper size when i'm using 8.5 x 11 paper. i don't know what other size to use since it is the standard size ment for this printer. I contacted HP and they told me to reset the default settings. I did that knowing that wouldn't help. and it didn't every time i try to print checks (again 8.5 x 11 size) i get this stupid message that i'm using the wrong size of paper. so what should take me two seconds takes me ten minutes. Also sometimes it prints really fast (like 2 seconds) and other times it take 2 minutes to print something. and i'm talking about checks again so it isn't that complicated just name of place, date, and amount. I would love to throw this thing away but i can't afford a new one now.
Customer Review: Machine ok--but HP's repair policy is UNCONSCIONABLE
I sent the e-mail below (from which I've deleted my machine's seral number) on 11 Sept 08; save for a form e-mail dated 12 Sept 08 saying "On behalf of Hewlett-Packard we apologize for the recent frustrations. We appreciate your taking the time to let us know your thoughts on this matter. Your message has been forwarded to the appropriate group within HP for further review."--HP HAS NEVER RESPONDED, EVEN THOUGH I ALSO FORWARDED MY E-MAIL BELOW TO THEIR CEO. THE ONLY ADDTL RESPONSE I GOT WAS ONE OF HP'S FOLLOW-UP SURVEYS ASKING IF I WERE HAPPY WITH THEIR SERVICE! THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS AND SHOULD BE ILLEGAL--I MEAN THEIR SELF-SERVING AND FRAUDULENT "REPAIR" POLICY BELOW. For nearly 20 years my family and I have used Apple computers and HP printers. But my experience with your HP Photosmart 7180 All-in-One machine-and your company-has been a major disappointment. I bought my machine directly from HP in about March, 2007. It had the printing, scanning and faxing capabilities I was looking for as I try to launch a small business. From the start, however, I was amazed at how poorly this sophisticated machine was supported by its accompanying manual. When I wanted to calibrate its scanning operation, for example, I found that the manual simply does not provide information compatible with the on-screen illustrations-so the consumer is left to muddle through. (By the way, I was not able to find additional relevant information at your on-line support site either.) The labelling on the machine itself is also ill designed for easy legibility-truly remarkable with all the experience you have and your market leadership. But what has prompted this letter is my recent experience when, following a paper jam, my machine failed to print. First, I found that you no longer support Mac customers over the phone. Okay-I've learned my lesson; you won't get my further business. But I can say your on-line "chat support" person was excellent-except that he was unable to resolve the problem, saying it likely demanded a trip to an authorized repair service. So he pointed me in the direction of a nearby Radio Shack store, to which I took my machine on 2 Sept. They said they'd call in a week if the repair would cost more than $100; otherwise, I'd have it back within two weeks. When the phone rang today (11 Sept) and the caller identified herself as calling for Radio Shack, I assumed it was to tell me the machine was ready for pick-up. Unfortunately, however, as you must know, that was not to be. The Radio Shack person said they could not get parts from HP, per HP policy, and instead, again per HP policy, could only offer me an exchange for a refurbished model with a 90-day warranty for $200, about $50-70 less than what I had paid for it new 18 months ago! What an insult! (And what a racket! I declined. Then I asked why HP and Radio Shack apparently misrepresent that Radio Shack is authorized to repair HP machines when it not given the parts to do so. There was no answer. Finally, I asked if there were a direct HP repair service; she said that HP would only offer an exchange at the $200price for a refurbished machine. Well, I find this approach to business offensive and unacceptable on HP's part. I can put up with your self-serving approach to ink sales-but depriving customers of the ability to get their machines fixed and having an outside "authorized" vendor misrepresent their ability to do so is outrageous. Having spent many years in corporate affairs for a Fortune 50 company in another industry, I fully understand that misunderstandings can occur. So I'd be pleased if you and your office were able to resolve this matter satisfactorily.

For organizations that need to digitize massive amounts of paper data, the best thing they can do is invest in a high volume document scanner. By implementing a scanning system early in the life of the company, it becomes easier to keep up with all of the various types of paperwork that need processing. This can save quite a bit of time.

Many companies find it beneficial to have a high volume document scanner. By scanning and cataloging all of one's data, it becomes not only easier to find, but also safer from environmental disasters such as fire and flood. Scanning your documents does far more than just helping you to keep the files out of harm's way. It can provide space by eliminating physical filing cabinets, and reduces incidences of misfiled and misplaced documents. This provides peace of mind for many businesses that rely on client files.

Some companies may still have microfiche and microfilm containing data from decades ago. It is difficult to retrieve this information, but many of the new scanners can scan in rolls of microfilm. This will help gather all of your data into one place - no longer will employees waste time searching through files and boxes full of old microfilm.

Barcode scanners, wide format scanners, check scanners and everything else your company might need are readily available at the proper online source.
