Hello - I just received my machine today. It was well packed and undamaged, surviving the trip well.
Upon unpacking the machine I located the literature & software pack and was pleased to see a Vista driver disk. I read a lot of reviews before buying this machine and it seems it is not uncommon to have to download the drivers for your new machine from the manufacturers web site. Call me inherently mistrustful if you will - drivers can be hard to find, and if you find them it seems there can be 4 different drivers with minor differences, leaving you to question whether or not you got the correct, and latest driver. Downloading can be an adventure, and installation never seems to be as easy as click/click/click. I wanted a driver disk with my machine.
I prepared the system in accordance with the easy to follow "Quick Installaion Guide" and prepared to install the software with some apprehension - we all know the problems/conflicts that can arise.
The software installed quickly and easily - I took the easy route as opposed to the custom install and was blown away too see the software package was 434 MB...No worries however - install took about 10 minutes and was easy as clicking "yes" 6-7 times. No problems to report - quick and easy!
After the requisite machine reboot it was time to connect the USB cable - again the welling of apprehension... We all know the conflicts that can arise, or how a system can fail to 'apply' your installation.
After connecting the USB I heard the comforting Windows tone, and then proceeded to the control panel - the printer was there, and I set it as default... test page printed with no problems.
Now the tests - I proceeded to print emails, web pages and several documents from work. NOT A SINGLE GLITCH!
Print quality is outstanding, the machine was easy to set up, the software installed easily - I'm a happy camper.
Granted, this is a very capable machine and I need to explore many of the advanced features, but so far, too easy, and my initial impression is great machine for the money.
I recommend it, and I hope if you buy it your experience is as positive as mine.
