Installing the drivers and software.

As with most other hardware the installation process is fully automatic, simply insert the CD and a Wizard takes care of the rest. The installation process took less than five minutes.

Insert the CD and the Wizard appears

Your system is given a quick check up

Now is the time to connect the USB cable

The device is being detected

Connection successful

Your drivers have been installed

Besides installing the printer drivers the installation CD also installed three other applications; HP Photo & Imaging Gallery - a visual guide to disk content and picture editor etc,. HP Director - a quick launch application for HP Photo & Imaging Gallery and for uploading images from the memory card reader. HP Memories disk creator - an application that creates a slide show with music that can be played on a home DVD player. The player must be able to read CD-R/W discs. I will look at these applications in greater detail later in the review. Although the applications seem well put together and will no doubt prove to be useful for many people, I would have liked the option to not install them.

This is a good software selection that is well thought out and will satisfy many users. I like hardware that is ready to use straight from the box (I haven't forgotten about the missing USB cable).
