Pros: Compact Flash and Smart Media reader built-in, 4x6" paper tray
Cons: Some problems getting USB to work, OSX driver works but incomplete.

When I purchased my first photoprinter, the most difficult decision was which manufacturer to go with. I think most beginning shoppers for a printer many times come out of the store more confused then when they came in. I had the distinct advantage of...

Pros: Features capability to print with or without computer read to learn of more great features.
Cons: I waited too long to get it!

The Canon printer I’ve loved for about 4 years is finally dying.
So I start looking around on what to buy.
As in most circles,HP is the first and most mentioned name.
So I switched my attention from Canon & researched the line of HP . . ....

Pros: Good quality prints!
Cons: Expensive inks. Typical HP printer driver. Quirks with the "paper saver" mode.

About a year ago (December 2000) I bought a Lexmark Z something printer. I think it was the Z42. This was my first "photo quality" printer. I got home and was very disappointed with the results. Mind you that since this is my first photo printer, I...

Pros: Cool design, ability to print straight from memory cards without a computer, ability to download photos from memory cards to the computer, FAST color printing

A couple of months ago, I found myself ready to drop-kick my decrepit DeskJet 660C after it started giving me fits.* I had just burned some custom (legal!) CDs and I needed to print color labels, but my 660C just sat there and whined at me. Just as well,...

Pros: Photo quality prints, quiet
Cons: only certain cameras work with infra red device

When I came to the conclusion that me deskjet 720c wasn't giving me the photo quality prints I wanted I began to search the market. After studying the HP site I decided on the P1000.
I was amazed by the quality of the prints, i recently bought...

Pros: Killer prints especially on Photo Paper
Cons: The HP ink is still too expensive

I have worked in the computer retail business, and I know the printer market well, but I still spent 6 months investigating the market before making my decision to buy the HP Photosmart P1000.
I wanted a printer that would do justice to the pictures...

Pros: nice photo prints; print from flash card
Cons: slow; installation breaks; expensive ink

I'll be honest. I only owned this printer for about 2 weeks when I decided to return it. Why?? It's not nearly as fast as I would have expected. I've owned a much cheaper 722C for a few years now and it prints faster than the P1000. The specs say...

Pros: Great Photographic Printer
Cons: Application Limited

The HP 1000 PhotoSmart printer is magnificent for photos but has drawbacks as an all-around printer.

I have several printers at my business. I have always used HP printers in both my personal and business applications. That does not apply to...

Pros: USB compatible. Excellent, studio-quality pictures
Cons: Installation was way too hard. Drawing mechanism a little too inconsistent

While researching various user commentary for this printer before making my final purchasing decision, I was nearly frightened away by the large number of horror stories from P1000 users. I later assumed that most of them were from various...

Pros: Amazing photo quality, easy USB setup!
Cons: Poorly-written driver for parallel port cable, no cable included.

I got this printer for free, it was pretty cool, I used Zing.com's HP-powered online photo-printing tool (an ActiveX app/cntrl) to print out some wallet pictures on my dad's printer, and somehow by using their tool, I won this PhotoSmart P1000 printer! I...

Pros: Fantastic photo quality! Able to run without being connected to a computer.
Cons: Doesn't like to operate through other devices. No Parallel or USB connection cables included.

I bought the HP Photosmart P1000 after I couldn’t get new print cartridges in my Lexmark 1100 Inkjet printer to work anymore (Lexmark has started making cartridges for Compaq and Samsung, and these just won’t work). But anyway, I’ve been wanting...

Pros: Memory Card Slot, 4x6 Photo Paper Tray, Thumbnail Printout (directly from memory card), Durability
Cons: Loud, Shakes my entire desk

I'll start off by saying, when I bought this printer, I was an employee of Hewlett-Packard. You may ...

Pros: Amazing quality
Cons: Pricey ink

I have a Canon 740(?) color printer at home, I have always thought that the quality coming forth from the printer was good, was I wrong. We recently purchased the HP photosmart P1000 for the office. I cannot believe the drastic difference between the...

Pros: Fast Printing, great photo printing, can print directly from camera.
Cons: Windows 2000 driver is very bad, hopefully it has been updated.

When I decided to go shopping for a new printer, I had in mind either a laser jet or a high quality ink jet in order to print my digital photos. After some research, I did not want to spend the amount of money it would take for me to get a quality Laser...
