HDesign and Build Quality
Although the Photosmart C310a is a bit of a household all-in-one printer, its looks are attractive. Like most MFP designs, there’s a lid that opens the scanning screen. Users can adjust settings and also use preloaded apps using the touchpad. Below the touchpad are two paper trays, one for the standard A4 size sheets and the other for 4x6-inch glossy paper for photo printing.
The C310a has a glossy finish at the top - it gives the printer a classy look but it also attracts smudges. At the same time, it’s simpler to clean when dust does settle on it. The rest of the body is built with a matte finish. The build quality of the trays is sturdier than the Canon Pixma 6170. A SD/MMC port is housed at the lower left of the printer. There is no Sony MemoryStick, XD or USB support on the printer. The Pixma 6170 in comparison had all of these memory card reader features. Also there’s an Ethernet jack meant to connect the MFP to the internet
Features
The C310a can print, scan and copy, as well. There is no fax feature though. HP has included apps like Snapfish, Crayola, tabbloid, DreamWorks and Web Sudoku. Not all of the apps work here in India. Snapfish lets you share and personalize photos over the internet

The interface is a lot more intuitive and a lot easier to use than HP’s OfficeJet 7500a’s interface. Quite often, there are times when an option is clicked, but it responds a little late, but on a whole the interface is quite smooth. The C310a can take print commands over the network using Ethernet and it also has Wi-Fi printing capabilities.
