Everything great except paper feeder
I purchased this to replace an HP G-85 all in one, and for the most part im extremely pleased. <

>The scanner function is nothing short of fantastic! once you set up the network card (standard for the 9130) you just hit scan and a speed dial button that you previously configured that points to a folder on your computer; thats it, the printer scans, converts to pdf, and stuffs it over the network and onto your computer! saves me unbelievable amounts of time compared to my old all in one printer. <

>print function is also good, but it doesnt do the stated ppm. good enough for most things, but i would like somewhat faster. <

>the one problem i have is paper tray #2. it just doesnt feed right, and it apparently is a design problem. when i use heavier paper, such as the HP bright white 24#, it jams. and jams. and jams. HP was very helpful sending me a new paper tray, new printer, and finally new duplexer (essentially replacing everything), but no luck; it still jams. must be a poor design. the lighter paper seems to work ok (20#) and i had two people at hp help line tell me to use that (sounds like the older doctor line "my arm hurts when i do this", and the doctor replies "then dont do that".) But the HP literature states it will work with bright white 24#, and i bought it based on this ability, so this is a big problem for me. <

>one other annoyance is that this seems to be the only hp printer ever to not have an envelope slot to feed a single envelope. so if you want envelopes you need to take out the paper in tray #1 and replace with envelopes. you could put envelopes in tray #1 all the time, and bright white in tray #2, but see above regarding feeding issues; this is what i had planned to do! <

>overall it works well, but with the annoyances stated above, if i could send it back i would.

not tooo bad....
It's alright in most respects... I had to install one at work and have been using it for a while... the installation was easy enough; there were a lot of steps but they were explained well... <

>Print quality is good- no complaints there. <

>In terms of function I have two primary complaints. First off, the computer seems to have an odd tendency to lose contact with the printer. This results in kind of an irritating situation where you need to turn the printer off and on, or log out and log back in- that sort of thing- then they find eachother again... <

>The second problem is one that I consider simply poor design. I love the document feeder, but... I'm not sure how to explain this... ok... think of a basic copier with no feeder, you put the page down and a lit bar slides along under it... in ADF (Automatic Document Feeder) enabled equipment, the bar with the light is still there- it just either sits under the ADF or moves and rests under it... then the page is drawn over the lit bar by the feeder... here's the problem with the 9100 series... each page in the ADF is treated like a separate action to the device and the lit bar is stored on the oposite side of the printer... so, when you go to copy/scan/fax a multipage document the bar has to move under the ADF, so you see it slowly move across under the ADF, the page is inputted, then it moves back to its resting place... then page two... it moves under the ADF, scans and goes back... considering that it takes 5-7 seconds (estimate) to move one way across the glass, this adds a TREMENDOUS time to those actions... I was particularly confused because the device does not recognize another page is in the ADF, so it runs that complete course for each page... that can add a huge amount of time to a big document... I don't see why HP didn't either store the lit bar under the ADF or program it to stay under it if another page is in the ADF... seems a little dumb to me... <

>Otherwise it's not bad... it works... it just could have been better...
