Summary: HP workhorse
Review: Although most people say the prints are grainy, I disagree. I recently purchased this printer, and got some Kodak Ultima Premium High-Gloss, Heavy Weight photo paper, and I have to say, the picture quality is INCREDIBLE! I tried printing photos with low gloss, lightweight paper, and I will say that the quality was somewhat comparable to my old Canon BJC-2100. If you get the right photo paper for this baby, though, it can print some excellent photos at a fraction of the cost for some super high-end models with DPI resolutions beyond what we really need. If you stick these photos in a picture frams, you can't even tell the difference between real photos and photos printed with this thing. All in all, I think it is well worth the money.

Summary: Photosmart pretty dumb
Review: Bought Photosmart 1100 three months ago. Loved it till it thought my color cartridge was bad. Now printer will not recognize any new cartridge. Seems there's a hardware bug that the printer will not reset a flag that indicates failed color cartridge. I've bought 2 new color cartridges and a new black cartridge. Called HP & they had me clean cartridge 3 times, power cycle, and even sent new cartridges. Analyst at HP very nice, thought... still the display flashes "Color Cartridge Failed" and "Replace Color Cartridge". Won't even print B&W. Dumb thing...

Summary: HP workhorse
Review: Great Printer, but does get a bit cranky at times. The 2 side print capability is a plus, saving paper & making printouts more compact. Does a 4 + job on photos, but hard to use the small photo tray. I've used this printer for approx 2 years and just now feel it may be time to upgrade. I feel I made a good choice for my photos.

Summary: Grainy image
Review: I can't resist writing a review, because I rely heavily on what others have to say too.

I just bought the 1115 and it's being returned today. I've had an Epson Photostylus 870 for the past couple of years and had a little ink mis-hap (my fault) and thought, what the heck I'll get a new printer figuring the technology has improved, etc. This time I decided to go with an HP because I generally like their products, but I'm going back to an Epson.

The quality of photo prints are not even comparable. The Epson prints are clear, crisp and realistic. The HP prints (even at 2400dpi) are grainy and fuzzy.

Not to mention that ever since I installed the printer (using USB) my floppy disk drive has been grinding every few minutes. Not sure what's up with that.

I will say that the HP is fast and fairly quiet. Printing regular documents on paper of course looks nice, but for "real" photo images try Epson.

Good luck!

Summary: dont bother with XP
Review: I Have had trouble with HP and XP since upgrading. Although they say it is xp compatable with driver, it is not. Will cause system to lock up and when I called HP they blamed XP. Bought a Epson and first time install without a hitch. Hope this helps and God bless you!
