Rating: Summary: I wouldn't have purchased if I would have had all the facts Review: I purchased this printer for my mother. She doesn't own a computer and would always have either myself or a sibling print her pictures for her. So I thought this was a great idea since it has 2 USB ports and takes 4 different memory cards. Well what you are not told is that the USB ports are only for HP products and they do not sell an adaptor or anything else so that this product can be used with another type of camera. We have a Sony camera where the pictures are burnt on to a cd, so that is why we were looking for a printer that you can use a USB cable for. I emailed HP support and they told me to hook it up to a computer and then print or they suggested several HP camera's we could purchase to use the USB ports. I GIVE THIS LESS THAN A STAR.
The product did print one nice picture off of a memory card but really isn't serving it's purpose for my mother.
Rating: Summary: paper jams Review: I returned an epson 325 photo for having constant paper jams. All kinds of paper jams. I was told the 7760 was the way to go. Well, after 4 days, with calls to HP, It wouldn't print any envelopes. HP told us to give the envelope stock a little push. After that all we experienced were more jams, and ink all over everything.. We returned this unit. While in the store we noticed another customer complaining about photo paper jams with the 7760. We came home with the Canon i900D. So far so good.
Rating: Summary: 7760 vs 7960 vs i900d Review: I started off with a Canon i900D but returned it because of the quality of photos. The prints were not real sharp and the color was off.I originally was going to buy the 7960 but since I do not do a lot of B + W and the larger LCD was not a big issue for me I decided to try out the 7760. I just brought it home and set up was a breeze, basically you just plug it in. I did have a question though and call HP technical help, got threw in a matter of minutes, the tech was nice and helpful. I printed a few prints and am impressed by the quality of the photos. It's a nice looking printer and I like the fact it's a little smaller then the 7960. Still too new to tell for the long hull but so far it's a keeper!
Rating: Summary: Great printer that's easy to use! Review: I'm no expert with computers so if I'm able to get started easily anyone can. The easy start instructions got me up and running in no time without any assistance from my more computer literate sons. The HP7760 accepts a variety of memory cards which is helpful in a family that boasts three digital cameras with three different memory cards. The small screen that is on the printer allows the user to view the images without a computer. The printer can view, crop, rotate, enlarge, and select the size and quantity of prints without computer assistance. The printing time was a tad slow but the quality was as good as any professional digital prints I've purchased. It's 'almost' as good as 35mm. The paper tray has a slot for 4x6 paper making it easy to print copies of photos without wasting expensive larger size photo paper. One minor annoyance is the requirement for changing print cartridges to print black and white, photos or typed material, so if this is your only printer you'll be changing cartridges frequently. A convenient little device for protecting and storing removed cartridges mitigates this problem slightly but one extra cartridge slot would have been far superior. If you want to go beyond the basic editing available through the printer itself it is simple to install the software that is included and to attach to your computer using an usb cable that is not included. All in all I'm very happy with this new printer.
Rating: Summary: HP 7760 Review: Just bought the printer at Costco for $139.00. What a deal, I just built and setup a new system, and was looking for a decent photo printer. This one is fantastic. Took less then 10 minutes to unpack and install and get completely operational. If you buy at Costco it even comes with the USB cable. I could not believe the quality of the photo I printed on the sample 4x6 photo paper included with the printer. Looks just like it came from the photo processing center. All functions I checked out so far appear to work great, just the fact you can plug a mem card into the printer and do most if not all your editing right there is great. So far, it looks like this one is a keeper..

Rating: Summary: A perfect printer Review: My husband and I went to Aruba on our honeymoon with our new digital camera. After shopping around for approximately a month, we decided to buy the HP7760 mainly because of the 1.8" LCD screen - no computer necessary. The guy at Best Buy told me I needed a USB cable, which is true, but it is not necessary unless you are printing from your computer. He tried to sell me a $30 one; I went to Walmart the next day and got one on clearance for $12. The printing is absolutely wonderful! The colors and hues are so rich, it looks like you are there in person. The blue sky is as blue on the picture as it was in person! Same with all the other colors! I have not run into any problems with little stars or black lines appearing on my pictures, and since I installed it about two hours ago, I have printed more than 50 4x6 prints using the HP Premium Photo Plus glossy paper. The prints are instantly smudge-proof, but take longer time to dry if you want to put them in an album (especially the ones with the dark colors). I feel the quality is equal to that os lab processed prints. I took a picture of the sunset one day and the oranges and reds just jump off the picture at you. I also haven't had any problems with any paper jams or "ink failed error" as some other reviewers have complained. The tray can only hold 20 4x6 cards at a time, so don't overload it and you'll be fine. I also liked that it came with two ink cartridges, one color and one photo. After 50-something pictures, the cartridges are still going strong. I also bought a black cartridge and color cartridge (a combo pack at Best Buy for its sale price of $39.74, regularly $53) and a gray photo ink cartridge along with a second photo cartridge. In addition I bought the HP plus glossy and matte paper (haven't used the matte yet) One word of advice (and it tells you this in the manual): When you place the paper in the 4x6 tray, make sure the side you're printing on is down and the perforated edge is toward you. I made the mistake of putting the paper in backward and had a couple prints come out with a white stripe on the end where the perforated edge should have been. This printer is great for the price and ease of use! No complaints whatsoever!

Rating: Summary: Love this Printer! Review: Received the printer and had it up and running in less than 20 minutes with no problems. Makes beautiful prints that are as good as any professional printing I've had done. The ability to edit at the printer without having to download to the PC first is great! It's very easy to use and I've had no paper jam problems of any sort. Since I am not really technical and don't like to read pages and pages of instructions to use new equipment, I believe this speaks highly of this printers ease of use.
Rating: Summary: Lousy for anything but pictures Review: Without fail, everytime I use this printer for anything other than pictures (i.e. just to print out a simple word document), the paper route jams, pulls in multiple sheets at a time, and/or says to add paper even though there is already paper in the tray, and a word document that should take a couple minutes to print out becomes a twenty minute ordeal.
