HP Photosmart Premium Fax all-in-one, peel off the fax machine and auto-feeder document and you have HP Photosmart C6380. Keep all the features you need to bring your photos to life: 9600 with 2,400 flatbed dpi scanner, dual feed paper printer, standalone copier, versatile card reader, and wireless network. After thorough testing, our only gripe is that the quality of the output suffers from minor hiccups and lighter saturation of the more expensive printers in the market. However, at $ 200, the Photosmart C6380 hits a sweet spot for photo enthusiasts who want an all-in-one without the hassle of a fax machine.
Design and features
Compared to the rounded corners and the circular shape of the all-in-one Photosmart Premium Fax, the C6380 carves out the numbers of the much smarter Epson Printers. Short stature (17.79 inches long by 15.97 inches wide and 8.17 inches) and the rectangular control panel on the front of the device still looks like a classic printer, but with a modern twist: the 2.4-inch color LCD appears from the left front corner. The screen rotates back and forth, and you can even set it flush against the printer in various positions. The on-screen menu is easy to navigate, and we especially like that the top corner of the home screen contains a small graphical representation of the cartridge that shows you when it's time to buy more ink.

While other printers disrupt the control panel with unnecessary buttons and stickers, we like the simplicity of the C6380. On the front, there is a directional pad and corresponding "OK" button, some photo editing shortcuts such as zoom and red-eye removal, direct copy and scan buttons, and "print photos" buttons that draw images directly from the card reader at the bottom of the device . There is a PictBridge compatible USB port for direct printing from digital cameras as well.
The C6380 handles inbound and outdated paper with a double paper tray that sits on top of each other at the bottom of the printer. HP continues to impress us with dual input trays: one for standard 8.5 inches with 11 inch paper, and a separate drawer for 3.5 inches smaller with 5 inch photo paper, which eliminates the need to swap out the paper. This is a great convenience that will save you a lot of time and hassle during this printer's lifecycle. The driver comes setup to automatically select the appropriate type of media for a particular job, but you can also manually override the select one yourself.
The C6380 also comes with 802.11b / g wireless connectivity and a small LED on the far right of the control panel indicating the connection status with the green light. HP has streamlined the wireless installation process for all printers and the C6380 is no exception. You can also access the wireless "Wizard" directly through settings in the printer menu or use the driver CD to set up an ad-hoc wireless connection via USB.
