Bought one of these for wifey's birthday since she wanted to have a simple way of making prints without using the computer based printers in our home. VERY simple to use; plug it in, turn it on, select language, insert card, select which image to print by scrolling forward or backward on the display, put in a sheet of paper and push the print button. Print quality results are very good - as good as my HP 7660 albeit slower to print. Would give it five stars if the screen resolution were better and the speed was a bit quicker. She likes it for it's simplicity, print quality and is really thrilled with it overall.

I purchased this for myself since I did not want to keep up-loading and waiting on delivery of my pictures from some of those online retailers. Not to mention the price of those on-line retailers can be expensive. Plus I wanted a quick and easy way of making photos without using my computer.

This printer is very easy to use. Once set up, all you do is insert your memory card, select which image you want to print by scrolling up or down on the display, put in a blank 4" x 6" photo paper (preferably glossy, not matte) and push the print button. The quality of the prints from this printer is fantastic. As good, or better, that HP's more expensive models (HP 425 or HP 475) and just as good as some of Cannon's & Epson's more higher priced models. Absolutely one user friendly stand alone photo printer with great pictures.

It's small, lightweight and very compact. Design features are very functional and it looks really sharp.

The prints speed is a little slow and the LCD screen is a bit small, plus the ink cartridges may be a little expensive. But, I was able to print approximately 90 photos from the originally supplied cartridge. I expect to get a lot more photos when I replace this cartridge with another retail purchased one, because we all know the original ink cartridges supplied with most printers are only approximately 1/2 filled with ink. One thing to remember: DON'T buy any other replacement ink cartridges except the HP 95. And definetly DO NOT buy and refurbished or re-filled ones.

In the latest comsumer reports survey, this printer really scored well vs. some stiff competition. It ranked in the top 7 of 27 other different models tested. Finishing with an overall score of 65; an Epson model scored the best at 75 and a Kodak scored the worst at 37. This HP 335 even placed higher than the HP 475 ($230.00) and the HP 425 ($190.00) and at a better cost ($100.00). I purchased mine for approximately $80.00 from Amazon.com

Nevertheless, for the money and quality of pictures you receivce from this printer, it's well worth the money invested.

This printer was purchased for my wife's birthday and arrived
in two to three days. Considering money spent the printer
works quite well. Pictures come out very good overall. An
HP 95 or HP 97 cartridge is used for color photos. It contains
three color inks but no black. Still, photos will easily
satisfy the average owner. An HP 100 cartridge can be used
for black and white photos. Yes, the color cartridge must be
exchanged for the black one when converting from color to
black and white and vise versa. Even so, we find the printer
fun and very simple to use. Just keep in mind that the price
of ink will soon exceed the price of the printer if used
often. What we do is use it for special occasions or when
the grandchildren come over.

Good printer for on the go. Take it with you on vacation, business trips, wherever you might need a photo printed. It is a little slow to print (between 1 and 2 minutes per photo) and sure the paper and ink are a bit pricey, but all photo printers are. If you want cheap get your photos developed at Wal Mart or Target, but if you want convenience, a reasonable price, and the ability to print photos when and where you want then I'd go with this printer.

The Photosmart 335 is easy to use - even for technophobes - and delivers quality prints. Only gripe is the ink cartridges can be expensive.

Very good choice for an inexpensive photo printer. Does a good job, and easy to use.

Like the printer...good quality prints...great price.
Might have spent a little more for the unit with the pop-up
LCD.

Easy to use, especially for those with no technical expertise at all. The cost prints are a little high, but for printing the occasional quality print, this printer should meet most peoples' needs. Its portability lends it to taking it with you on a trip and allowing you to share your pictures on the run.

I recently purchased a refurbished HP Photosmart 335.
The printer was easy to select the pictures. The image quality looked nice, but the pictures smeared very easily. Any amount of moisture will ruin the picture. The paper feed mechanism was a little clumsy and was hard to tell how far to insert or slide the photo stock.
At 24 cents a photo, I would not waste my time on this printer. I returned mine the very next day.

In a couple of months I am going to Washington D.C. with People to People World Leadership Forum so I wanted a printer that I could take along with me. This printer is the perfect size. It also prints out really good quality photos. You should buy this printer. The price was also affordable, (I don't get an allowance and could still buy it)!!! This is a good printer.
