Summary: Best Computer Acessory
Review: A year and a half ago, I purchased everything I needed for my first computer. I did a lot of research and went way wrong with highly recommended Dell computer. But, based on what I could see at the store (the clerks at CompUSA are not too eager to help) I bought this printer. It has been the best purchase of my computing experience. Photos are flawless, as is everything else I print with this printer. It seeems to do what it is supposed to and musch more incredibly well.

Summary: HP Whomps the Printer Market
Review: Every company has their specialty. Canon has cameras, Sony has audio & video, and HP has the printer market nailed.Now, I will be honest, I have not yet actually bought one of these, but as soon as my next paycheck shows up, it will be mine. My father has an HP DeskJet 722C that he bought years ago. And even though it's only a 600 x 600 printer, it still makes great photos. That's why I told my neighbor when he asked me what to get that he should only look at HP. And he did, now he has a 932C that he loves. Now about this printer:
The versatility between parallel and USB makes it easy for anyone with an older PC or newer PC/Mac to connect it up. (Hewlett-Packard's website doesn't say it works with WinXP, but read on...)
Since I wasn't sure whether or not the printer would work with my notebook running Windows XP, I called the people at Best Buy and asked if I could hook up their demo printer to my PC to try it. They said sure, so I did. It worked flawlessy! I had a photo I had previously downloaded to my PC from a digital camera that I had taken of my cat. I opened Paint Shop Pro 7, changed the DPI from 72 to 600, which resized it to about 3 inches. I then blew it back up to 5 inches, which of course then loses quality.
I set the printer to it's highest quality, and clicked "OK" to print. From the time I clicked "OK" to the time it finished printing was only about 30 seconds. Even on the cheapest paper Best Buy found under a pallet in there store, the image was still excellent. I am convinced and a "true HP believer" :). I normally wouldn't give something the highest rating, but HP has gotten me. I will have this printer, that is for sure.

Summary: Great printer.
Review: I bought this printer because of the reviews it got right here on Amazon. There are so many different kinds of printers and so little time to research. I made a good choice. This printer has a bunch of cool features that I can't live without anymore. A great buy.

Summary: Envelope Feeder Never Worked
Review: I have a small business and it was important that the envelope feeder work well. From day 1, this has been a nightmare. Components of the printer block the envelopes/labels and they don't feed properly. If you use internet postage, you lose money with the misfed labels/envelopes. I'm very disappointed and am shopping for a new printer now, only a short time after purchasing this one.

Summary: Awesome pictures
Review: I have had this printer for over a year and I still get compliments almost daily on the gorgeous pictures I can print on this machine!... I print fairly heavy quantities of pictures and have had the paper jam maybe once. This is definately worth the money. I have purchased 2 other printers since this one, trying to see if I could get better or quicker pictures. The other two printers have gone to the wayside (one is now attached to the kids computer). There was no comparison in speed or quality...the HP was by far better! It even produces awesome picts with remanufactured ink cartrides at a much lower cost. Overall...great printer!...

Summary: Fantastic! A 6th Star.
Review: I have numerous printers available in my office for different functions. My Photosmart 1215/1218 gets all the work. It's fast, reliable, great quality and we have not had 1 minute of down time. Also, I purchased the auto-duplex unit that enables the printer to print 2 sided documents. Super easy to use and still very fast! The printer can be tricky to install, however when I upgraded to Windows XP, XP easily set it up for me. If you don't have XP, be sure to follow directions carefully. I was so pleased with the printer; I bought a second for my son to take to college.

Summary: Great Printer
Review: I have owned this printer for about a year. It has worked flawlessly printing all types of projects. It works great with my digital camera and works great with my visioneer 8700 scanner. HP was slow to update the drivers to be compatible with Windows XP but so was Visioneer. This printer far excceds the quality of the Epson printer it replaced. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another HP printer when the time comes.

Summary: It's a very reliable printer...
Review: I love my PhotoSmart 1215 but was a little discouraged when the driver for XP was not available. The neat thing about this printer is, if you mainly use it to print photos from a memory card, you don't have to be connected to your PC. Just know which numbers you want to print, enter and off it goes. The quality of my prints has been great. Right now it's connected to my iMac and is doing splendidly. It's quite dependable and not expensive. I'd recommend it highly.*****

Summary: A bit expensive, but great quality.
Review: I mostly use my printer to print out homework, but when i have a nice picture from my digital camera, i am very glad i bought this printer, seeing how i can just plug the card into the printer and it prints with increadible detail. I took a picture of a famous place in mexico and i had the same one in a travel book, printed it out on this printer, and it looked exactly like the one in the travel book. Scince i upgraded to windows xp, it was pain to update the drivers seeing how you have to download 3 files, but other then that this printer is great. ...if there is one thing to complain about it's the price, but if you can get over that, you can keep this printer for years. Mine is going on 3 this christmas i think. ~hope this helps
