SO easy to use, February 27, 2006
Reviewer: M. M. Hickox "Mariko"
This is great! No computer needed, but can be connected with one little
cord. Slide your media card in the slot, your pics come on the screen.
Select the one you want, how you want it layed out on the paper and push
print....that's all there is to it. So great, even my "electronically
challenged" hubby can use this. Buy the ink and paper kit to go with it,
and you can print 100 photos! The color is great and looks spectacular. No
more pics sitting around in the computer or on the digital camera
cards....no they're finally getting printed out.

Excellent printer, January 3, 2006
Reviewer: Elaine B.
This printer prints great quality photos. I've gotten pictures printed
through other companies (online and Walmart) and the HP photos print out
as well, if not better than some of them. I compared my professionally
printed photos with my HP-printed ones and my dad couldn't even tell the
difference! He even commented on how vibrant the colors appear.
It was also very easy to install. Five minutes after taking everything out
of the box, I was already printing photos. Very easy to use - I didn't
even have to read the manual. Now I can print all the borderless 4x6
photos I want in no time.
The only downfall is that there is no USB cable included but a lot of
printers don't come with that now... plus you can buy a cheap one on
amazon. ;)

Re Previous Reviewer: Printer ships with demo-size print cartridge,

Reviewer: S. Christensen
I just got my printer for Christmas, but I believe it comes with only a
demo-size print cartridge, thus the reason the previous reviewer only got
about 50-60 pictures. When you install a new, full-size cartridge, it
should last considerably longer. The print quality and ease of use is
unbeatable at this price. Highly recommended.

should never have bought it, January 1, 2006
Reviewer: Jean Jacques "JJ.Cape Cod"
the picture quality was fantastic...for the first 50 pictures,then message
came up "cartridge running low" thought this was a gimmick to get me to
buy another cartridge before i needed it,but no,sure enough 10 photos
later all photos were purple.i wish i had never bought because now i have
to pay to send it back.good buy if you dont mind spending $28.95 for new
cartridge VERY often.

Regional coding, October 22, 2005
Reviewer: M. Venzky-stalling "MVS"
I cannot recommend HP to anybody anymore. The company introduced regional
coding, which means printer cartridges from one region cannot be used in
another. For most this is probably not an issue, for those busily
traveling around it is. Also, it is an issue of principle, its bad enough
for DVD, but printer cartridges? HP has introduced this rather secretely
and if you don't read the box cover etc very carefully, you may not
notice. The main issue is in Europe. I got caught out. I bought a 3
catridges overseas - I could not use them on my HP printer. I asked for a
refund, HP Email Support (US) was nice but ineffective. HP Customer
Support (Europe) was snotty and very rude. I think HP does not care about
its customers and this cost me over US$75, almost 50% of my printer (my
sixth and last HP). Don't buy HP.
