The scanning lid was nicely made as well as the access door to the guts of the unit. The upper and lower paper trays seemed average in girth. The cartridge carrier was well built and solid. The quick start guide was very clear and easy to follow. I'm old school and when stuff has some weight to it, it's usually decent. The printer was somewhat Weighty, and that can only be a good thing. The printer was very well packed with tape in all the right places. Being that this is an All-In-One printer, I had to evaluate all functions to be fair. My first impression, prior to buying it was that this printer is probably geared more towards photo printing. I decided to break away from the HP's and Epson's and go for the Kodak printer. It was a lot of frustrating doing and redoing trying to find the way to get Lubuntu 12.10 to work the network printer but it will be easier for the next person.Outstanding connectivity and a tremendous value There is a 15 - 20 second lag between hitting the "print" command and when it starts to print so under "properties" I adjusted the resolution to 300 x 1200 instead of the default 600 x 1200.

I then used archive manager to extract the files in the file.Following the instructions I used the synaptic package manager to install the "Optional packages needed" except 1 that was not available - "libcupsdriver1-dev".I downloaded the file and the install instructions.I got this working but it is more than installing a Debian driver.
