Pros: Coordinates very well with my Gateway 15" flat panel monitor and tower.
Cons: Everything else.
The Bottom Line: Do not buy this printer. I'm going to buy a new Canon i960 and sell this HP at a garage sale.

| almuddmr's Full Review: Hewlett Packard PhotoSmart 7150 InkJet Printer |
I purchased the HP Photosmart 7150 in March 2003. I had assumed its photo prints would be well worth the time invested waiting for it to print; I was mistaken. The print quality on the photos isn't that great. In fact, the quality of prints on the BJC 8200 I was replacing was a little bit better. The only real advantage was that the HP was quieter.
And let's talk about paper feed problems. The tray for the 4x6 seamless printing slots has yet to work correctly, and regular paper usually needs a "push" to get it to load. Recently, every time I print a document, the paper loads too far out causing the printer to think it has jammed. I have to press the "force feed" button, and reload it so that the photos will print. I haven't gotten an envelope to successfully print TO THIS DAY.
Ink is ungodly expensive and this printer drinks it like fish drink water. And HP is being sneaky sneaky with the "Estimated Printer Ink Level". When the printer tells you it is low on ink, it is, quite frankly, lying to you. I'm not much on conspiracy theories, but I swear HP programmed it this way so that people would buy more of their insanely expensive ink.
Other than all that, great printer.
