3.0 out of 5 stars The big let down, November 8, 2006

I had this printer just short of 1 yr and I loved it. Totally loved it! It began saying the paper was jammed as it would only take the paper in half way. I worked with HP on this for a long while when they sent me a "refurbished printer" to replace mine. I was happy for 2 1/2 months. Then this new printer began doing EXACTLY the same thing - it alternates between paper jammed and cartridges stuck!. I contacted HP again but this time my warranty is up as they only honor the original purchase date, not the replacement. So, I'm stuck with quite a few ink cartridges (2 of each) and no printer. I am hesitating buying another HP but what other printer is out there ??????? I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRINTER AS I BELIEVE THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE MANUFACTURING OF IT AND THEN THE CUSTOMER IS STUCK!

Just received this printer today and I could not be happier with the photo quality. I have just printed approximately 10 5x7's, and about the same number of 4x6's prints. The only mess up was caused by me. I am only using the best quality photo print and I am very pleased with the outcome. I can't wait to see the maximum dpi photo.

Very good price on the printer and quick shipping. Speed is not the fastest however I was using an HP 720c so it beats that speed so I am pleased. If you are looking for a photo quality printer that does not cost too much, this is the one.

Update March 15, 2007.

Printer is malfunctioning. It will spit out two blanks pieces of paper, print the page I asked it to, then it continues to spit out paper until the tray is empty or the paper jams.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software and that has not helped.

I also used the HP web site to troubleshoot the printer and those procedures have not corrected the problem. I believe this printer is very cheaply made and a guess a year and 3 months is all I will get out of it.

Update: 3-24-07. I just threw it away, it had parts falling out of it and it no longer functions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to use. Prints beautiful photos, May 15, 2005

I found this photo printer easy to set up and use. The driver installed on my PC in a few minutes and I was up and running. My digital camera uses SD memory and this printer accepts the memory cards for printing photos. One time I selected the wrong photo and it was easy to cancel the print job by hitting the print cancel button on the printer. I have printed photos and even used the black text to print memos and Excel spreadsheets. I really can't believe how much this printer does for such a low price. Highly recommended.

If you print with HP's recommended paper you get brilliant photo prints. I tried a 4x6 photo and it came out looking great.

Only downside.....this printer does not have a LCD photo preview screen on the printer. If you want to preview your photos you can do so on your PC or camera before printing. Some printers like the HP PhotoSmart 8150 have a photo preview screen which would be nice to have. All things considered, the HP 7450 is a great buy.
