Amazon.com Product Description

Forget having your digital photos printed by someone else. With this PhotoSmart InkJet printer, you can print full-color photos yourself quickly and easily. Print sizes range from 4 by 6 inches all the way up to 8.5 by 11 inches, at up to 2,400 x 1,200 dpi resolution. (Note that the highest-resolution photos will require premium photo paper.)

The HP 1115 lets you print directly from your digital camera, using CompactFlash, SmartMedia, or Sony Memory Stick memory cards. You can also connect directly to your computer using the built-in USB port and included HP photo imaging software. Printing is remarkably fast, producing 12 pages per minute (ppm) black and 10 ppm color; the printer includes both a 20-sheet, 4-by-6-inch photo tray and a 100-sheet, 8.5-by-11-inch paper tray.

The HP 1115 features color layering technology from PhotoREt III, printing richer colors for great skin tones, as a quicker printing alternative to 2,400 x 1,200 dpi resolution, while maintaining the same exceptional print quality.

The HP 1115 is both Mac and PC compatible (but optimized for Windows): Windows 98, 2000 Professional, Me, XP Home, and XP Professional; and Mac OS 8.6 or later on G3 and G4 with USB-connect Macintosh. The printer is backed by a one-year warranty, with the option to extend it to three years at additional cost.

Setup was total of 10 min., Works great right out of the box with no problems. This printer is very quite and quality is excellent. I am a professional designer with lots of ink jet experience (desk to large format). For a consumer printer its great. You can complain about high ink costs, but, realize that over the long run the printer will work great everytime because HP includes a new print head on every cart that you buy. I have a HP 550c from 9 yrs ago (still working) and an epson 660c that just died.
Just look at the customer reivews, compare.

This printer is worth it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Prints nice photos, but slow and jam-prone with plain paper, October 2, 2002

My HP DeskJet 870cxi died last month, and I replaced it with the Photosmart 1115, which I wanted to use with a Dell desktop (XP Pro) and an Apple iBook (OS 10.2.1).

The only nice thing I can say about this printer is that it prints beautiful photos on photo paper. Printing anything else is a lesson in frustration.

Printing a color web page with this printer is SLOW...it seems much slower than my old DeskJet. Second, I get frequent paper jams when printing on plain paper, and especially when printing envelopes. The printer jams when printing photos on 6 x 4.5" photo paper that came with it. When I print documents on plain paper, I also occasionally get these cryptic error codes, and my document stops printing halfway through the job, leaving the paper stuck in the printer.

The printer also comes with a CompactFlash and SD readers built in. It's pretty cool to insert a Compact Flash or Secure Digital card from a digital camera and print an index sheet right from the printer. However, my XP desktop won't recognize the cards from the printer. It says that there is no card inserted. Frequent e-mails to HP tech support have not been helpful - they say the card is faulty (it works fine in my camera and my Lexar card reader, however).

Mac support is suprisingly lousy, because HP has been pretty good to the Mac in the past. I had to wait a month until HP released drivers for Mac OS 10.2.1 (Jaguar). The Mac drivers have the same problem the XP ones do: I can only print with the drivers; reading CF & SD cards with the printer doesn't work.

I have had many HP printers in the past and have had no problems with them. I think HP struck out with this dud.
