Key Advantages

The HP Photosmart C4780 offers high-quality photo printing with deep color saturation and sharp details. Its multifunction capability allows users to scan and copy without needing multiple devices, saving space and cost. The printer supports borderless photo printing, which is ideal for photographers and enthusiasts. It uses individual ink cartridges, allowing replacement of only the color that runs out, reducing waste and cost. The device's compact design fits easily into small spaces, making it convenient for home offices. Additionally, it supports a wide range of media types including photo paper, envelopes, and transparencies, increasing versatility.

Limitations

The HP Photosmart C4780 lacks wireless or Ethernet connectivity, limiting it to direct USB connection only. The print speed is relatively slow compared to modern printers, which may not suit high volume or business environments. It does not support automatic duplex printing, so manual paper flipping is required for double-sided prints. The scanner's flatbed design restricts scanning speed for multi-page documents due to the absence of an automatic document feeder. Additionally, the ink cartridges are relatively small and may require frequent replacement under heavy use. The device has limited compatibility with newer operating systems due to its age and discontinued driver support.
