Rating: - Express Exchange Warranty Program
The express one-day warranty program is a joke. HP will only honor the warranty if they have a refurbished one available to send you. If they don't, you wait until they do! Of course, your customers will surely understand that.......
Rating: - Good but not good enough
I owned HP B9180 for a year before I got tired of power cycling and ink usage so I replaced it with cheaper but equally nice if not better Epson Photo 1400! This printer produces acceptable quality prints but I did not like the gloss differential it created on semi-matte and glossy finish also printer sharpness was not as good as Epson printers. The other thing I did not like was power cycling of the printer which I never figured why it was happening!! each time it happened I had to disconnect the ... Read More
Rating: - Good Prints. Shameful Customer Service.
I purchased the B9180 less than one year ago and also purchased the NEXT BUSINESS DAY customer care package. The unit did make good prints during that time but failed mechanically under fairly light usage. Then ownership of this printer led to the worst customer service experience I have ever encountered.

Rating: - Carefully consider ink cost/consumption
I'm an artist; I need to print documents and, occasionally, small prints of my work. After my Epson 1280 died, I did loads of research comparing Epson to Canon to this printer, and bought the HP Pro B9180. I've had it about 9 months, and in that time the printer has seen very light use - about one document a week, and some color photo/art prints once a month or less. I've left it on continuously, as recommended, and replaced all the inks as they ran out about 2 or 3 months ago.

A week ago, ... Read More
Rating: - Solid Photo Printer
I've been using the B9180 for 10 months. I've waited this long to write a review because, frankly, problems with photo printers typically take a while to show up.

1) I use the 9180 with a Mac running OS X. No problems there at all. The HP drivers all work well and there's even a widget available that will provide a quick ink status check. I've printed from iPhoto and PhotoShop without problems.

2) I've followed HP's recommendation to leave the printer turned on 24/7 to avoid ... Read More
