It sure looks great but looks are deceiving in this case. I purchased this printer and now after printing a grand total of 200 pictures it has died. The power supply is definitely junk and when it does turn on the paper feed jams. I get 2-3 misprints for every decent print and after a few months the pictures I printed and put up on the fridge have faded (despite using expensive 'high quality' HP paper and ink). Essentially, this machine is good for people who like to torture themselves with shoddily built products, not for a person who expects quality. You will save money if you avoid it, and unlike the fading printout pictures on my fridge, the ones beside them printed through a web service have continued to be glossy and top notch. Save your money. Next time I will go with Canon or just stick with web service prints...surprisingly less expensive and much better quality when all points are considered. Good Luck! I hope this has been helpful!

Like most HP printers this product is well-engineered and performs its function admirably. It is stylish with a small footprint and works well as a companion to my HP 1020 Laser Printer. The only complaint I have is the software that comes with it can be annoying. It will pop-up at inopportune times and isn't overly intuitive. Pretty much a standard HP product with excellent hardware and sub-par software.

This is a great little printer, but be forewarned. If you want to use it with a PC, there are two discs that come with it. One is labeled Vista, the other 98, ME, 2000, XP. I have an ME PC. When I tried to load the ME disc, it said it REQUIRES XP. So, if you want to use it directly with a camera (the memory card from the camera), you're OK. But if you need your PC and it has 98 or ME, forget it!

I bought the printer as a present for my father for Christmas. It's his second one. I'm not sure why his first printer stopped working, but he really liked this specific model because it is compact and easy to use. He often takes it to family gatherings so that we can develop a group picture or two on the spot. Although the speed is rather slow, the quality of the pictures is good. I had trouble tracking down the printer because HP keeps changing the model number.

I ordered this product refurbished and am very happy with it... the pictures come out with wonderful quality, quick and the ink dries very fast so no worries about smearing! I also love that you can print in black and white... and choose wallet size, etc.
