5.0 out of 5 stars HP Photosmart 375, October 6, 2004

I have used the HP Photosmart 375 (under $200.00) for the past month. I have taken it on both leisure and business trips. I have found it to be all encompassing for a "portable" and "photo" printer. We just had a family reunion and of course this was a big hit since I was able to print from my camera's SD memory card (CompactFlash, SmartMedia, MultiMedia, Memory Stick, SD, or XD are additional cards this printer can print from) by using the printer's rechargeable battery (manuft. rates 75 pix per charge) feature which makes this printer truly portable. I purchased the car adapter soon after the event to ensure that I was able to always have power to print. The photos where easy to review (2.5" flip-up LCD display) and print. The photo print quality was excellent and the family enjoyed choosing their photos and the convenience of having them "now" was a big hit. In fact, my brother purchased one the very next day. I also liked having the ability to use the flip-up display to rotate, crop, zoom and fix red-eye before printing all without the use of a PC attached. I recommend this for anyone who would enjoy the freedom and ease of printing photos just about anywhere and at anytime.

4.0 out of 5 stars Better than most, but lots of minor problems, January 1, 2005

This review is from: HP PhotoSmart 375 Compact Photo Printer (Office Product)

I'm an experienced photographer, and take lots of photos. The problem, according to my wife, is that I don't print enough of them, especially the ones SHE likes.

So I decided to buy her a small 4x6 photo printer. She doesn't want to learn Photoshop or anything like that. She just wants to press a button and get a photo.

I chose the HP 375 because it had a popup LCD screen to preview the shots. Obviously, she doesn't want to print every shot we take. The other printers I considered, Canon and Epson, did not have LCD screens.

On the whole, I'm pleased with the printer. The 4x6 photos come out with beautiful resolution and color. I compared some to ones I printed with my full-size Epson Photo 785EPX after a bit of adjustment with Photoshop, and thought the HP did a bang-up job. My wife just plugs the memory card into the printer and starts printing. There's no need to connect to the computer.

Furthermore, I found that it will print equally well on cheaper photo paper. I tried Kirkland (from Costco) and a box of Kodak paper that would not print well on my Epson printer.

On the downside: there are serious software issues, at least with our unit. It periodically freezes, and the only way to resume is with a hard reboot... basically unplugging it and starting from scratch. That's no fun when you're dealing with a 512 MB memory card. And lately, for no reason, after printing a photo, it asks whether we want to "deselect all photos." At no point, had we "selected" any photos except the one we were printing.

I explained the problems to HP via their "online tech support chat" which took forever to even load (using ActiveX). The only response before they ended the session was: "I understand." They even emailed me a transcript of the entire chat, which showed that they ended the session, it wasn't a glitch or online problem.

I then emailed info about the problems to their tech support folks via their "email us" option, and received a message that was filled with unusual sentence structures and bad grammar, leading me to believe it was either written by a robot or someone in a foreign country. Basically their response was to unplug the printer and reboot.

I find this to be an unsatisfactory way of dealing with what appears to be a software bug.

The cost per print, using HP supplies, is fairly steep. A box containing 125 sheets of 4x6 paper, and an ink cartridge costs about $45. I calculate that as 36-cents per print. The Epson is the only personal photo printer to advertise its price per print, claiming 29-cents. Again, I plan to use Kirkland photo paper to reduce our costs.

Bottom line: the photos look great, but they're expensive and there are irritating problems with the printer's software.

I ordered this from amazon. Recieveing the printer, it looked like the item was packed by a family of gorillias. There was no air packs in the box. What was amazon thinking? It clearly went into the box alright the only thing that saved the box was the strofoam inserts HP put in. The printer itself is mint. Do not listen to the negative reports what I like best it is not dependant on my computer or it's software to run. You simply put in the card from your camera, scroll through your photos, enhance it if you wish, put a frame on it if you wish, crop, many tools built into the machince. It does print in 60 seconds. You can put 4 photos in the space of a 4 x 6 photo with or wothout frames. Beautiful prints! Do not be decieved into thinking there is room for more than one cartridge. It is either color photos or black and white photos or sephia which is an old fashioned finish. I ordered the internal battery and bag from Hp since it is not available on amazon. I am looking forward to the portability of the machince. Good value, although costco had it cheaper by $20.00, outside of that I am quite pleased.
