Summary: Nice quality, great value
Comment: After having read numerous complaints about this device going to sleep and never waking up, I made sure to immediately install it using the fairly public workaround of giving it a dedicated IP address. It has never used DHCP and it has never failed. Would it fail to wake up if I used DHCP? Probably so, but since I'm not using it that way, it's not a problem.
I'm ecstatic that the driver can be installed alone - without all of the extra overhead fluff that many consumer printers scatter around your system. When I'm not printing, there aren't 10,000 processes running in the background like there were with my old Lexmark.
So far I've only used the included inks and the photo quality, at least to an untrained eye, is much better than I would have expected from a device at this price. I don't know if the 6 ink option produces better photos than the default 4 color output right out of the box, but again, to my untrained eyes, the photo output looks great from the CMYK cartridges which were included. I'm not likely to ever buy the photo cartridge.
My setup: HP c4580 connected wirelessly to a ZoneAlarm z100g. I've printed with Windows XP SP3 (32), and Vista SP1 (x64) which are also connected to the zonealarm z100g's wifi network.

Summary: Great features for the price but beware!
Comment: The HP Photosmart C4580 printer is wonderfully feature-packed for its price but I cannot over look it flaws.
Let me first start with the good...
This printer is currently the best bang for the buck. The big features are: wireless printing, a scanner/copier, and a built-in memory stick reader. If you own a laptop that you're constantly bringing around, the wireless printing is very nice... just one less thing you have to plug in. Its probably also good if you have multiple computers. I'm not sure if I'll ever use the scanner/copier but it can't hurt and it doesn't raise the price too much. Its also a relatively small printer (at least compared to my old one) and has a very easy to use screen to change options. You can also use after-market products to refill the printer cartridges yourself making them much cheaper.
However the printer has three major flaws...
My biggest headache with the printer was its setup. The installer crashed on me every time I tried installing drivers and I spent three very long hours on the phone getting it fixed. [Tech-note: I was using Internet Explorer 8 Beta which is incompatible with the HP printing software]. Unlike most other India-based tech support I've dealt with before, HP support had minimal automated phone submenus, the staff were knowlegeable, and I wasn't transferred too many times.
Secondly, if you use the wireless feature the printer will hang. This is a product defect and HP hasn't gotten around to fixing it. However there is a relatively simple work-around for this defect if you're tech-savvy. Search around the internet for "HP Photosmart C4580 Screen Turns Off" to find the fix.
Finally, I had major rebate issues. Amazon advertises a rebate for this product, but beware! The rebate is not for the printer itself. The rebate requires you to buy a laptop or PC along with the printer.
So despite the fancy features on this printer you should be very careful with it cause there are some flaws and it may not be the bargain it sounds.

Summary: Excellent Printer
Comment: Not only was this printer easy to install but it works great too.
I am able to use my Windows Vista computer as well as my Ubuntu Linux system with this printer for scanning and printing remotly. I dont understand why people have problems with connecting remotly. The instructions are very clear and the installion from the CD configures everything for you.
I am VERY satisfied with this purchase and recommend it 500% to other users looking for an affortable wirless scanner and printing unit.
Though my only con with this printer is that it comes in white. I would of preferred it in grey or black :)

Summary: Buyer Beware Defective
Comment: bought the C4580 all-in-one HP printer after mostly positive reviews, wifi and small size was perfect for out of the way printing. WHAT A BIG MISTAKE!!!! Once unit goes to sleep mode, will no longer print. Must manually unplug power and reinstall to network -- why even have the printer at that point? HP troubleshoot was worthless. Finally found a gazillion similar frustrated reviews at Apple Store [...], sure wish had read these reviews before waisting [...]

Summary: Works Wonderfully Wireless with my MAC
Comment: I love this printer for the price and the wireless capability! I would definitely recommend to others - for those that have had problems...why would you not just return for product replacement or get another printer. There are Lexus in the world that are lemons too! I do suggest downloading the drivers directly from the HP website rather than install from the CD - this way you are sure to get the most updated version and any patches that may have been added. I also love the paper tray - simple - not clumsy like the other trays that some of the higher priced hp photo printers have. Positively a Perfect Printer at a great Price!
