Well worth the price!
By Natalie Kilpatrick
I've been using a Canon BJC-250 for the past 5 years. I go Windows XP and the Canon doesn't work anymore. I was forced to buy a new printer. I saw the DPI resolution on this printer, which is the same as any other printer costing much more than this one. This was a tremendous change for me! I have never seen a better image come out of a printer in my life! Very detailed, very flowing. There are some exceptions to the printing. Buildings that are smaller can actually look blotchy on the photo paper, while water turns out perfect. Also, when printing out multiple pages, I've had the printer actually jam quite a few times. I've used maybe 20 pieces of paper, and 4 have jammed, two of them in a row. Other than these incidents, it does turn out to be a very worthy printer for the price. It is XP compatible and can be hooked up with the computer still on. You are not forced to buy the USB cable. If you already have a cable for your LPT Printer port, it will work also. I am using the LPT port. The printer is also quite large for what I'm used to (see dimensions). Make sure you'll have enough room for it on your desk. Paper loads from the bottom, not the top like my old printer, and can hold up to 100 sheets. This makes it easier than having to constantly reload the darn thing. After a few weeks, the jamming has stopped. Maybe the printer just needed to be broke in. You must install both ink cartridges with this printer (black and color). This is also new to me, with the Canon I had to constantly change cartridges; another perk from HP. The printer also takes quite a while to "warm up." Instead of just hitting the print button and watching it print, it takes maybe 1-2 minutes (depending on how long it has sat idle) to warm up before printing. It is quite loud when warming up and loading the first sheet of paper. After the first sheet is loaded, it's *amazingly* quiet. (Remember, I used to have a 1998 Canon! This is super cool by my standards!) The speed is something to be proud of, as well. Although warm up time can take a little bit longer, after it gets going, it's running very well! A nice high DPI photograph can take up to 1 minute to print at about 800dpi. I haven't tried it any higher yet. Black pages... maybe 10 seconds, if even that!! I changed my rating from 4 stars (on March 17) to 5 stars (on March 21) because the paper jams have stopped. Don't think you need a new printer? For this price, you deserve one anyways! Order one now!

Phenomenal Print Quality
By A Customer
I bought this printer for home use mainly for printing text. The PhotoRET III and 1200 x 2400 dpi printing on special paper is a nice little extra for me. After picking up this printer today, I toyed with it by printing a 1024 x 1536 resolution portrait with a 8" by 10" size on the glossy HP paper that came with the printer. I had the print resolution set at 1200 x 2400 dpi. The results were phenomenal! I was blown away. Before seeing the results, I had scorned the so-called "photo quality" inkjet printing touted by inkjet manufacturers. The print samples I've seen of photo quality printing are on plain paper. But after seeing the print quality produced on glossy paper at the highest print resolution, I was extremely pleased. My expectations were exceeded by 100 fold. I could barely make out any pixelation or graininess on my print portrait. In fact, the quality is near photo-lab quality. I was thinking of getting the dye-sublimation printers for printing photos (The quality of the photos they produce supposedly rival those you print at the photo lab). But now, it looks like I'm pleased enough to put that off for a while! The "nice little extra" that I had originally expected of this printer turned out to be much more.
Pros:- Capable of producing phenomenally pleasing and photographic look and feel of traditional photo lab prints.
- Extremely economical considering the fact that this printer produces the best print resolution for inkjet printers to date (1200 x 2400 dpi). It has all the features you would want for great quality printing present in all the top-of-the-line inkjet printers. A definite bang for your buck!
- Features HP's PhotoRET III, the latest and best technology from HP for printing pictures.
- Prints beautiful black text on inkjet paper. The printed text is sharp and heavy-weighted. I was unable to distinguish the inkjet printing from one that is produced by a laserjet printer.
- Prints beautiful black text on inkjet paper. The printed text is sharp and heavy-weighted. I was unable to distinguish the inkjet printing from one that is produced by a laserjet printer.
- Software-controlled double-sided printing. A great plus if you hate paper bulk (like I do). Forget about the HP 940+ series capable of double-sided printing with an attachment - paper jams seem to be a very common problem according to many Amazon.com reviewers of these HP models.
- Quiet operation. All that is emitted by the printer is a quiet whrrring noise. Great for those late night printings if you do any.
- Separate color and black ink tanks - saves you money if you just want to do black or grayscale printing because you can just buy the black ink. Some inkjet manufactures have the color and black ink tanks in one unit.
Cons:- May be a little slow printing photos. (It took about 6 minutes to print my 8" by 10" portrait at the highest quality).
- Borderless printing not supported.
Conclusion:I strongly recommend this printer as an all-purpose printer for the home user. It functions as both a document and photo quality printer that delivers top quality and reasonable speed.

HP 920c Printer
By dianawrites
The only thing that kept me from rating it 5 stars is the fact that the initial setup didn't go as smoothly as it should have.It is so quiet that you very literally have to stand next to it to tell if it's printing. The print speed is fast enough; it's not extremely slow. This is not the model to get, however, if you're looking for lightning speed. I use a parallel port connection, so that is probably why there's a slight delay in getting the print information to the printer.The print quality is OUTSTANDING! I only print photographs once-in-a-while, so I didn't buy the machine for that, but you can! Even on regular paper, the printed photographs don't even look computer generated.After set-up, I'd give this printer a 5 star rating. It's a definate value for the money. I doubt the more expensive models would do much better.
