rocks!
I have a similar machine - the HP 6100, and I can't live without it. The ability to slide a piece of paper on a glass try, and hit copy, has saved me dozens of trips to the local Kinko's. Not to mention the scanning, faxing, and color printing abilities. If you work from home a lot, this machine is a must!
