    The C4480 is slower and not quite as sharp as Canon's excellent MP630. Nevertheless, it's a lot cheaper to buy and very economical run when paired with HP's XL cartridges. Read more

    The HP Photosmart C4480's price tag is certainly appealing, and the running cost even more so. As a cheap document printer and scanner the Photosmart C4480 serves well, though you may want to spend a little extra for better quality photos. Read more

    I have just ordered the USB cable from [...] so I only tested without connecting to my computer. (I admit I was a bit disappointed to know that the cable has to be purchased separately)Nevertheless, the printer amazed me with its fantastic photo scanning and reprinting. I tested with my graduation photo and it came out almost identical to the professional printing. Read more

However, there did seem to be an awful lot of packaging which seemed a bit un-needy. Installation was very, very easy on my macbook. I plugged in the usb cable (which I had to purchase separately!) into the back of the printer and into the USB port on my notebook. I didn't have to install any drivers and my mac... Read more

    The HP C4480 is a printer/scanner/copier multifunction unit designed for home use. It's cheap, it makes decent photo prints on glossy paper, and it's only 6.5" tall, so it can be tucked into low-clearance shelves.If you just want a basic, ... Read more
