Pros: Superb photo quality Easily handles heavy photo papers Six color ink system Very affordable
Cons: Supplied documentation could be better Optimized 4800dpi printing requires lots of time and system resources

Having recently purchased an HP Photosmart 7150, I can honestly say that I was amazed at the print quality that can be achieved from this printer. I take a lot of digital photos and have been printing my own for almost three years. I have always...

Pros: Quietness Quality of Text and Photos PRICE 4x6 Tray
Cons: Flimsiness of Trays Speed of Color Photos

The HP 7150 is truly a remarkable printer. I bought this printer after owning a pathetic Lexmark X-73 all-in-one. I heard from numerous people that the HP 7150 was probably the best bargain for a printer on the market, I couldn't agree more. I have printe ...

Pros: Great photos with right paper.
Cons: Have to choose between photo ink or black ink to go along with tri-color.

I purchased a refurbished 7150 from CompUSA in '04 when they were celebrating, I think, their 10 year anniversary. I bought the printer for a mere $50 and it came with the original packaging and warranty. At the time, I was using a cheap color ...

Pros: Price,ease of use,final product of print.
Cons: None really except stupid pap tray makes a lil weird to do 4x6 and envelopes..

Pros: Great printouts.
Cons: No USB cable. TriColor ink cartridge. Slow print speed.

Hello, I just got the 7150 photosmart printer as a gift, so I'm not to certain of the price.

The printouts are beautiful. Looks like professional quality....if only I could cut straight.

The printer prints kind of slow, definitely...

Pros: Excellent at both text and photos
Cons: Small, EXPENSIVE ink cartridges; HP customer service policies are terrible!

Pros: Excellent printer, easy to use
Cons: None we found so far

The hp photosmart 7150 is an excellent printer. Pair that up with the hp digital camera and you have a great team. The ability to hook the camera right to the printer is so neat and easy to use. The print quality is terrific, like a photo shop!
You...

Pros: Quality of the 4 pictures I did get to print was very good
Cons: Have only been able to print 4 pictures since I purchased the printer.

I have had nothing but trouble since I purchased a Photosmart 7150 in late July. The first printer made a humming/whirling noise which the service department said wasn't a problem and would only replace it with a rebuilt printer. I didn't want to ...

Pros: Great photo quality output
Cons: Paper handling is a nightmare, poorly written drivers (nothing new for HP)

I purchased the HP Photosmart printer in January of 2003. I have only used HP Premium Plus papers in the printer. I have found the photos and color documents to be of very good quality. The quality output is one of the best features of this printer. The ...

Pros: Coordinates very well with my Gateway 15" flat panel monitor and tower.
Cons: Everything else.

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 820 ...

Pros: - Excellent picture quality - Very long lifetime for ink cartridges
Cons: - Paper loading mechanism defective - Ink is very expensive - Software is bloated

As a service technician and salesman, I've worked with many printers and have always been a fan of HPs quality -- not only in the printing itself, but also in the design of their printers. Quiet, fast, clear, and reliable, I have always recommended my ...

Pros: Quality Borderless Prints Price
Cons: None

I purchased this printer with a digital camera to get rid of our 35mm camera. With some good photo paper, this thing rocks.
I really like the borderless printing and good quality. I haven't been able to use the direct print option(I don't have a HP Camera), so I don't know how well that works.

Bottom Line:

Great for anyone that wants great instant quality pictures in their own home.

Pros: quality prints
Cons: a bit slow

I have fount the Hewlett packard 7150 to be reliable and excellent at producing color photo prints. I've printed many brochures with the 7150, including high resolution photos, with ease.

Ink is always expensive, as with any printer. Therefore I would suggest buying a second printer(cheapest available) for printing all non photographic type pages. I picked up a basic printer for $25 to handle the non-crucial printing projects. Save the cartridges on the HP for high quality. Loading two printer programs is no problem and all you have to do is click on the printer you want to use at the time.

The HP printer has a separate tray for 4x6 print paper that slides forward to engage without removing your blank 8x10 sheets.

Onscreen guage to show ink levels is handy and warns when one of the cartridges is low.

I don't mind technical equipment but this printer is an excellent item for anyone who wants something that easy to use when printing off digital pictures. My friend had purchased this printer and I tried it out on a photo. Wow! What clear printing definition. and the color was extremely bright, but true to color. Great product overall, highly recommend to everyone.
