Hewlett Packard Photosmart P1100 InkJet Printer

Pros: Convenient true photo quality at an affordable price
Cons: Does not include USB or parallel port printer cable

I just purchased a Hewlett Packard PhotoSmart P1100xi printer and have not stopped playing with it since I set it up.

It did not start well, however. One aggravation was that the cable was not included, and I had to run out to purchase one...

Pros: Outstanding photo quality, and also high quality text printing on plain paper
Cons: Windows-only, has some problems with feeding envelopes

I'm an amateur photographer and computer buff. I've seen lots of printers that claimed to be "photo quality", but this is the first one I've seen that's actually delivered on the claim. I've made prints as large as 8"x10" and they...

Pros: Ease of use (using the USB PORT) Produces great prints.
Cons: I have no use for the infrared port

I purchased the HP 1100 about 6 months ago (a year after the purchase of my digital camera). There is another model the HP 1000, about the only difference is that the 1100 can print double sided. This printer goes for about $499.

This was my...

Pros: Super quality pictures and normal print
Cons: Expensive to operate.

The HP-P-1100 printer we just purchased for office use is nothing less than amazing. It features traditional HP reliability (after two months of constant use) and prints digital photos and letters with equal ease and remarkable quality. This machine is...

Pros: no need of a computer, USB supported

If you have a digital camera that uses a flash card this is the printer for you! This printer has two slots found on the right hand side of the printer that can read the memory cards of most digital cameras. This allows the printer to read the images off...

Pros: Multi-purpose, great design, fast and small
Cons: Photo quality not that much better than original

Pros: Beautiful photos when it was working. Fast card reader.
Cons: Printer died after 18 months. Only option-- pay $423 for refurbished model!

This printer has been troublesome from the moment I paid $50 for it -- but when it worked, it worked great! USB installation was troublesome until HP sent a new driver. Paper jams are frequent. Photos are beautiful, though ink doesn't last long and is...

Pros: Photo quality excellent, hard to tell from originals. Wonderful bundled software and 4x6 photopaper tray.
Cons: Names by buttons on front of printer a little hard to read.

When my old Canon printer died, I shopped around at several electronics stores looking for the HP 1100, but it was out of stock. I decided to try the HP PhotoSmart 1115, new on the market and substantially cheaper by almost $100 than the 1100. Though I...

Pros: Excellent printer with good quality
Cons: Blew up my Windows 98 for four days

I got this printer after rejecting the Epson 900 which was slow and had lines. The HP is somewhat faster and has no lines at all. This is a great printer. But I ran into a serious problem. Trying to install the software, my Windows 98 blew up and did not...

Pros: Excellent Print time for both color and B&W's,Great photos too! Two sided printing feature
Cons: Cost of ink and slight mis feeds

The PhotoSmart was bought for me by my wife as a present. It was to compliment my digital camera, a Nikon CoolPix 950, and it does.

I'll start with Photo printing. It has a separate tray that holds 6x4's. That's great so you don't have a paper...

Pros: Photos just like from a print shop! Great speed, easy to use.
Cons: The cartridges are costly! But there are some places you can get deals on them.

Over the last year, I've tried to get into printing all my pictures from home. At first, it was my camera that held me back.....but then I invested in a great one. Only to find that the pictures still looked cheap. Even though I had a 1200 x 1200...

Pros: great photo quality
Cons: a little pricey for home use

Cons: Print Cartridges Run Out Quick and are over $60 for Large Capacity

Pros: Photo quality prints. Double sided printing. Fast Fast Fast.
Cons: Not compatible with Mac.

I have always been an HP fan. They have always made great printers, but this one blows everything else away. If you have or are thinking about purchasing a digital camera (other than a Sony) this is the printer to buy. You can print photos from smart...
