HP Photosmart C5180 Expert Review

Ethernet connectivity, memory card readers and a 100-sheet paper capacity all help the HP Photosmart C5180’s appeal when it comes to a home printer.

Even with a lack of PictBridge support or Wi-Fi, this machine is more than adequate for the home user looking for a document and photo printer that can operate with a minimum amount of fuss.

Print speeds are good without being blisteringly quick and the quality of prints is also more than acceptable.

Despite missing a couple of functions that could improve usability (such as an automatic document feeder) the C5180 is a good multifunctional device for home users.

Pros

• Good print speeds
• Compact design
• Able to print from memory cards

Cons

• No PictBridge support
• No Wi-Fi connectivity
