Amazon.com Product Description

HP's PhotoSmart 7760 photo printer offers high-quality, convenient photo printing directly from your digital camera's memory card, or from your PC or Mac computer. With four built-in memory card slots, you can be guaranteed compatibility with virtually any camera--choose from CompactFlash (Type I and II) and Microdrive, SmartMedia, Memory Stick, Secure Digital, Multi Media Card, and xD-Picture Card media.

You can preview, edit, and enhance images even without a computer connection, thanks to the 1.8-inch color LCD and top panel control buttons, or select images from thumbnails printed on photo proof sheets, which can also be generated without a computer.

The PhotoSmart 7760 offers two USB ports--one on the back for connection to your PC or Mac and one on the front for plug-and-play connection to compatible cameras or even your laptop. Print speeds are variable, depending on the speed/quality mode selected, and range from up to 13 ppm for black printing (Fast Draft mode) to approximately 116 seconds for a 4-by-6-inch photo print (Best mode). Print speeds can be increased with the addition of the optional HP no. 56 black print cartridge.

The PhotoSmart 7760 handles a wide range of media types and sizes, and comes with a dedicated 20-sheet 4-by-6-inch photo paper tray plus a 100-sheet standard media input tray to easily handle your everyday printing. An optional duplexing accessory and 250-sheet paper tray are available separately to enhance paper handling even further. The PhotoSmart 7760 comes with just about everything you'll need to get started (USB cable not included) and is backed by a one-year warranty.

I'm no expert with computers so if I'm able to get started easily anyone can. The easy start instructions got me up and running in no time without any assistance from my more computer literate sons. The HP7760 accepts a variety of memory cards which is helpful in a family that boasts three digital cameras with three different memory cards. The small screen that is on the printer allows the user to view the images without a computer. The printer can view, crop, rotate, enlarge, and select the size and quantity of prints without computer assistance. The printing time was a tad slow but the quality was as good as any professional digital prints I've purchased. It's 'almost' as good as 35mm.

The paper tray has a slot for 4x6 paper making it easy to print copies of photos without wasting expensive larger size photo paper. One minor annoyance is the requirement for changing print cartridges to print black and white, photos or typed material, so if this is your only printer you'll be changing cartridges frequently. A convenient little device for protecting and storing removed cartridges mitigates this problem slightly but one extra cartridge slot would have been far superior.

If you want to go beyond the basic editing available through the printer itself it is simple to install the software that is included and to attach to your computer using an usb cable that is not included.

All in all I'm very happy with this new printer.

5.0 out of 5 stars A perfect printer, March 30, 2004

My husband and I went to Aruba on our honeymoon with our new digital camera. After shopping around for approximately a month, we decided to buy the HP7760 mainly because of the 1.8" LCD screen - no computer necessary.

The guy at Best Buy told me I needed a USB cable, which is true, but it is not necessary unless you are printing from your computer. He tried to sell me a $30 one; I went to Walmart the next day and got one on clearance for $12.

The printing is absolutely wonderful! The colors and hues are so rich, it looks like you are there in person. The blue sky is as blue on the picture as it was in person! Same with all the other colors! I have not run into any problems with little stars or black lines appearing on my pictures, and since I installed it about two hours ago, I have printed more than 50 4x6 prints using the HP Premium Photo Plus glossy paper. The prints are instantly smudge-proof, but take longer time to dry if you want to put them in an album (especially the ones with the dark colors). I feel the quality is equal to that os lab processed prints. I took a picture of the sunset one day and the oranges and reds just jump off the picture at you.

I also haven't had any problems with any paper jams or "ink failed error" as some other reviewers have complained. The tray can only hold 20 4x6 cards at a time, so don't overload it and you'll be fine.

I also liked that it came with two ink cartridges, one color and one photo. After 50-something pictures, the cartridges are still going strong. I also bought a black cartridge and color cartridge (a combo pack at Best Buy for its sale price of $39.74, regularly $53) and a gray photo ink cartridge along with a second photo cartridge. In addition I bought the HP plus glossy and matte paper (haven't used the matte yet)

One word of advice (and it tells you this in the manual): When you place the paper in the 4x6 tray, make sure the side you're printing on is down and the perforated edge is toward you. I made the mistake of putting the paper in backward and had a couple prints come out with a white stripe on the end where the perforated edge should have been.

This printer is great for the price and ease of use! No complaints whatsoever!

I just received the 7760 in the mail today.
I had to run to Walmart because I forgot to order the USB printer cable. After I hooked the printer up to the computer which took about 10 minutes ( includes the unpacking of the printer ). I took out all the pictures that I had and WOW the quality is unheard off. I mean the pictures are just so clear and pure quality. The printer pretty much started on it's own.
Just plug everything and put the disk that came with it and It does everything on it's own. Ohhh and then I tried photo paper.
Ohhh man it just got better from there.

THIS IS THE PRINTER TO GET.!!!!!!!
