Summary: Reviewer
Review: A week ago after buying a 4.1MP digital camera, I soon found out I needed to buy a higher resolution printer. I saw the 920c on the shelf, just in that day, touting 2400x1200 dpi! Ran home to check on that stats of it and saw it also had PhotoRet III! So, I bought it and haven't regretted it. Prints beautiful pics and handles documents fast (Picture printing is slow, but who cares for this price). A great printer for the money. I'll only buy HP!

Summary: Best 100 dollar printer you can buy
Review: HP quality. Buy any kind of photo paper and print out a digital image on the full page it looks incredible. a pic that size would cost like 8 bucks to get devloped. and you get it for about a 1.35. (about 85 cent for the sheet of paper and 50 cents worth of ink). a new full 78 tricolor ink catride will give 60-70 full page color prints

Summary: 920c better by far than Cannon 300
Review: I bought a Cannon 300 when in a pinch for a printer based on other site recommendations. But it is only a USB printer, and does not include a cable. The 920c will print either via USB or parallel, and is faster and quieter. (No cables though.)

I've owned 3 other HP printers, and this one is the best of all of them, despite being so inexpensive.

Summary: Nice printing results
Review: I bought this 920C printer about a year ago. Until now, it still performs good. I love the printing results, the small size (6 point) characters are sharp and readable, the pictures are sharp and smooth, even with normal mode. I found that it's far better than my old 820Cxi. The dimension is so compact and lightweight, so I don't need more space to put it near my computer. However, the weakness of this printer is its integrated color ink tank. You have to replace it if there is one empty color, while the others are still half full. Honestly, I prefer the separated color ink tanks because they are more friendly to my wallet. Hope, in the near future, HP will make deskjet printers with separate ink tanks in economy prices without reducing quality.

Summary: Phenomenal Print Quality
Review: 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.

Summary: hp920c
Review: I bought this printer to replace a Canon that suddenly gave up without warning. The HP 620C represents a real bargain in ink jet printers,quiet,and does a beautiful job in both color and black&white. Installation is a snap,

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This printer rocks
Review: I bought this thing based on the reviews I read here and elsewhere. It took a while to receive after I ordered, but it was worth the wait. Print setup was a snap. Print quality, especially when using good (photo) paper and the highest setting, is remarkable. Bright colors, sharp detail - for the price, simply amazing.

We'll see how well it holds up over the long run, but for now, I give this my absolute highest recomendation.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Big bang for the buck. And then a little more too...
Review: I evaluated a lot of printers on the market since I was looking to print photos from my digital camera. I also wanted that the printer be able to handle text too because when all is said and done, you might need the printer for printing simple text too.

At the end of my evaluation, I found that Epson was extremely good for printing photos only while the HP was very close to the Epson in terms of graphics, but was way ahead in terms of text printouts. Also HP has a reputation. So HP it was; And till today, I have no regrets.

Its ultra quiet & pretty fast (Not earth shattering, but then we are talking of a few minutes here and there, not a big deal). Not one photo has come out to be smudgy or bad. Every print is crisp even on normal paper and when printed on HP photo paper, the quality is just awesome.

And yes, everything has a bad side to it and the 920c is no exception. There is hardly any usefull printing software bundled with it. You need to shell out more bucks for a decent software to manipulate images and print them.

So if you are on the lookout for a great printer at a good price (Not exactly a bargain), then go for the 920c.

Summary: I LOVE THIS PRINTER!
Review: I had to replace my Lexmark printer after it mysteriously died. I need to find an inexpensive replacement, and chose the HP 920. Wow! It prints better than my last printer -- quiet motor and the colors are sharp and vivid. No banding, just beautiful color. I highly recommend this printer for the price.

BUT ...
I had problems loading the software. Apparently, McAfee Virus Shield reads some of the HP files as viruses. It took me a very long time to get this printer up and running, even after I disabled the Virus Shield. It was well worth the effort, though.
