Works Perfectly Well
We purchased this printer as a replacement for our 722c, which had two problems: (a) the USB to parallel cable just didn't seem to work; (b) sharing a printer through a computer on the network just never seems to work well. The 6988 would presumably be as reliable as the old 722 and solve both problems -- network ready and accessible directly over the (wireless) network.
I'm content so far. Both of our home computers are accessing the printer over the network just fine. The 6988 ...

Very pleased -- easy to set up for wireless use
Overall Ive been quite pleased with this printer. It was extremely easy to setup which cant be said for a lot of wireless network printers. Very clear instructions are included that walk you through the process of getting up and running whichwas VERY easy -- take out of box plug in to power outlet load paper cartridges hit a button to enable wireless networking and YOINK! All done and ready for printing. I did not choose to install the HP software that came with the printer -- Vista figure...

Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: I needed a wireless printer due to my wife and kids always wanting to print something off thier wireless laptops but then complaing having to plug in the USB plug into the printer.

Wireless Printing Is a Miracle
Length:: 0:49 Mins
I waited a long time for a wireless printer, and the HP 6988 does not disappoint.
I followed the setup instructions without difficulty, and had the printer running in less than 10 minutes. Installation on my wife's laptop was even faster.
Printing is fast, and the quality of text is good enough for routine document printing. Color printing is also good, though not stunning.
As you can see from the video, print time is within seconds, and on ...

Initially Very Good - But Blindsided By Unrepairable, Fragile Part
We bought this printer (in its initial iteration as a 6980) almost two years ago and it worked fine for a while - wireless was nice and overall quality seemed good.
As noted in another review, it plays well with Linux and MacOS; we use Mac, Linux in a couple of flavors, as well as Windows at home and had no problems using the printer with any of them. It was not necessary to install the bloated client software in Windows to make the printer work properly.
Recently we began...

Overall satisfied
The printing quality is excellent and the price and overall size of the printer is good. I setup the printer to use with my notebook and decided to use it totally wireless.brbrGood thing for the tech support and the 800 number I tried installing it using the setup guide and was a little confused and had to call HP tech support. After about an hour on the phone we were able to get the printer and notebook configured.brbrIt takes a little bit to get used to and how to use the printer going totally...

Efficient and excellent machine for wireless printing!
The wireless setup was reasonably easy if one is patient and follows the instructions. I am using it with my HP computer running Vista Home Premium and I have an older Linksys router. Consequently I had to use an ethernet cable just to do the initial setup but then once the setup was completed the cable could be removed and the unit is now working wirelessly. I was pleasantly surprised when I was able to print a document wirelessly and it worked perfectly the first time. Ive always liked HP ...

Perfect network printer for Linux & Windows home users
I'm just not sure what is up with the bad reviews. I don't seem to be seeing these issues. I bought this after much research. You see I primarily use Ubuntu Linux and I needed a wireless network printer that I could setup without the need of Windows or Mac. All you need is a web browser (so you could use wii or iphone if you really wanted). I'm coming from a terrible experience over the years of fighting with a linksys wps54g printer server hooked up to my old Deskjet 932c (it has not been fun)....

Same printer as the 6980
Upon opening the box and reading the manual, the manual clearly states this model is of the 6980 lineup of printers.
So, if you had problems with the 6980, you will probably have the same problems with the 6988.
First and foremost, I gave it three stars because it is built right and solid. Unfortunately upon installing the unit I started to receive an error message indicating the right (black) cartridge is not installed properly. Even after re-seating it and re-setting an...

Software is like a virus!
While to me the printing quality seems just adequate, the software crippled three of my computers! The HP printing software had up to 20 processes running, one of which was using 50% of my processor cycles. It took a lot of registry hacking to clean all of it out, even after uninstalling the HP software.
Now, I've installed the "printer driver only" package from the HP web site and am using the printer wired rather than wireless and it's more well behaved however there are still m...
