Summary: HP Photo 7350, better in the store than your home!
Review: A piece of junk. I have returned mine two times and every one I get keeps telling me the paper is jammed or it can't move the print cradle. (My last HP, the 970 CSE started leaking ink all over my desk as well) I am now going to toss my HP's. I will never buy another one!

note: Even one star is to much for this product!

Summary: Printing problems
Review: Avoid this printer if you plan to print to the 4X6 tray from your PC!
I followed the instructions to the letter and still have problems printing to the 4X6 photo tray from a PC. The printing does not match the size of the paper, even though the S/W indicates 4X6. I've wasted a great deal of paper and ink trying to get it to print properly. I do not have this problem when printing directly from the printer via a Compact Flash card. Also, this printer will not feed properly when only a couple of sheets of photo paper are in the 4X6 tray. And when you fill it with paper, it sometimes feeds several sheets at once and jams!!!.

Summary: where are the borderless prints?
Review: First of all, let me caveat this by saying I own two other HP printers. Their products have been great in the past. I am actually biased toward hp printers. So, onward...

This printer doesn't do true 4x6 borderless prints. This would be fine, except that HP says it does! The catch: you have to get special perforated 4x6 cards! I am pretty upset about this- if the photo isn't 4x6 with no border on any 4x6 media, it's not borderless! There is no workaround for this from HP either. This problem is the same for the 5550, 7350, 7550 models.

And btw, if you do print a border, it doesn't come out even all the way around the print (even after re-calibration).

With that said, the HP has an amazing feature set, color correction capabilities, etc. But we bought this to do borderless prints- if that is what you want, go elsewhere!

Summary: Incredible!!!!!
Review: For the nomical price of this printer, I am extremely pleased with the printer. It prints pictures wonderfully clear. The print cartridges last a lot longer than any other printer I have used. In sum, this was definitely a worth while purchase.

Summary: HP let me down on this one
Review: Good printer except I have to unplug it from the power source and "reboot" the printer to get it to be recognized by the Windows XP machine. Real pain. Black ink cartridge is a little low in capacity.

Summary: Almost perfect companion
Review: Having purchased a new Kodak DX4900 Digital camera for myself for Christmas, I fealt that I needed a printer capable of giving me superior photo like qualities. Since I have been very pleased with my other HP color printer, and in spite of a couple of negative reviews herein, I bought one. And, I have had wonderful results. I especially like two of the features, being able to plug your camera chip directly into the printer (you can totally bypass your computer), and the borderless prints. Everything worked as advertised, and for a printer costing under [$$$], gives remarkable results. I would highly recommend it.

Summary: HP 7350 - Communication error
Review: I bought an HP Photosmart 7350. Installed the drivers exactly as it said in the manual. Printed a photo.It was superb.Great photo quality.But soon ...my ordeal with the printer was to begin!The printer started giving me so much hassle as I have never expirienced before.
I found out that once I shut down the PC and restarted it, it was not possible to establish connection between the PC and the printer. The printer would not turn ON. I had to pull the USB cable out sometimes to establish connection. Sometimes that too wouldn't work. I had to pull the power cable out and put it back in to re-establish connection. All in all, it was a pain to turn the printer on. Now, that you have turned it ON doesn't mean you can print! The print job goes through with no errors, but nothing is printed out. There is no error produced. So, what is happening?
Now that the printer is turned ON, there is no way you can turn it OFF. Communication between PC and printer has failed again, that it is impossible to turn it OFF. Again, pulling the power chord or USB cable may do the trick.
I replaced the printer for another, thinking it must be a faulty printer. The second printer behaved just the same. I installed on a second PC. I changed the USB cable. Things did not improve. After 4 weeks of fretting and frowning, I returned the printer and bought a HP 5550 deskjet. It installed first time ( using USB port)and is working ever since with no problems.
I emailed HP with the HP 7350 printer problems. Even though I got quick replies from their Technical Support, they promised me that a representative in UK will call me(I am based in UK) and talk me through to getting the printer working. But to-date I have not heard from an HP representative.

Summary: HP Photosmart 7350
Review: I bought the 7350 less than 2 years ago and paid almost $200.00 for it. It sounds like a thrashing machine, clunks and jerks, and now it only prints occasionally. I'm taking it to the Goodwill store today; maybe someone else can get it to perform since I sure can't. I'm tired of trying.

Summary: don't buy this printer!
Review: I bought the HP Photosmart 7350 last week. After attempting to install the new printer several times, I finally realized that it was defective. The UBC connector in back of the printer did not work at all (the one in front, for the digital camera, worked fine). I noticed it right away - the cable did not snap in all of the way and I was never able to install the printer because my computer could not establish a connection.

I returned to the store and exchanged the broken printer for another HP 7350. It has the exact same problem with the port in back. I contacted HP online for some customer support and here was the final response:

"As the computer recognized your printer when connected to the front port of your printer, it indicates that the issue is with the port of your printer. In order to resolve the issue, you would have to get your printer serviced."
"Note: Out of warranty products do require a fee."

Please note: this is a brand new printer, right out of the box, and it is the second HP 7350 I have received this week with a broken port.

After reading other reviews online, it sounds like this product is a "hit or miss" in just getting it up and running. I think HP should seriously look into the quality control or the design of this particular model. I will not have the printer serviced, but will return it for a full refund and will buy something that works.

I hope this review helps you avoid a big disappointment and waste of time.
