What's great about it: Lots of features, WiFi, appears to use less ink, dual sided printing and scanning
What's not so great: return one within a week for new one. Not so easy to install, must be shut down periodically
As a prosumer of products, I expect a good deal from the money I am spending. This printer is not the cheapest on the market, and in some respects it does well enough for the money spent. It has fast print times, appears to sip on ink rather than guzzle it, and it allows me to do a great deal away from the office.
However, it also has some major drawbacks. I had to return the first printer within a week because the logic board tweaked out on me and could not scan black and white nor gray scale. Later the newer printer did the same thing to color. But I was able to reset the printer and it worked again. I scan documents daily, and the scanner will periodically stop working requiring a reset of the printer. The feed tray for the scanner works well about half the time. It's a life saver if you have a large document to scan, until it feeds the paper sideways or diagonally.
Printing is a must in my profession and having quality prints for field use is a given. I've noticed that periodically the printer will simply skip the top of one line at the bottom of the document. It's the same line, two out of three times. Very odd. It does however use very little ink in comparison to other printers I use. I don't use it for photo printing because it's color rendition is horrifying, and the scanner utility has no real options. . Scanner is also not great at picking up certain yellows. I do not suggest anyone buy this unless you simply want a cheap is printer just for minimal quality printing and scanning capabilities. I regret buying the scanner, but not a lot I can do about it now. HE has made another bad printer.

Can this scal slides?
It has no capability to scan slides, negatives nor transparancies. To to so I suggest a scanner specifically for such items. I've used them and they work well.
