1 AMAZING
I got this printer in December but then in January IT STOPPED WORKING! I was bummed because I was so happy with it. I tried to get it to work everyday for about a week or two then I gave up. Now in April I decided to get another one, but before I did I wanted to see if it would work one last time and guess what?! It came to life!!!! It healed itself!!! I have no idea how?! I am so happy with it!!!!!!! It's the best thing ever!!!! NO NEED FOR THE COMPUTER!!!! But if you want to edit the pictures so they come out looking great then it comes with a stellar program!!! I JUST LOVE IT!!!!
2 Awesome Little Printer
Printer has proven to be EXCELLENT as far as I have used it. Won it in a contest, so I'm not complaining. ;)
I have printed out some pictures and find the quality to be EXCELLENT. The speed of printing is also fast and the printer prints BORDERLESS photos (which is a handy feature).
As with any product there are a few cons.
1) Printer is a PHOTO printer. That means you won't be printing out an 8X10s; you can only print 4X6 photos (but I'm expecting you know this already..)
2)Cable to hook to PC is *not* included. If you want to transfer pictures from your computer, don't expect to get a cable with your printer. The cable is sold separately. However, a flash/USB drive will work perfectly.. Just plug the USB drive into your computer, stick the pictures on it, then plug the USB drive into your printer.
---------
The printer can recognize MANY different formats, SD cards, USB input devices (photo iPod, flash drive, etc..) Which is very convenient. It can also view the pictures straight from your camera (make sure it's compatible, most are..)
If you're looking to just print photos and want a light-weight and portable printer, this is the item for you!
3 Great product
I got an hp325 for Christmas. I took pictures of the family opening presents with my Canon A70 and printed them out before breakfast. Quality is great. Took camera and printer to a meeting, took pictures and printed them. Everybody was amazed at the quality and very idea that I could print pictures right at the table. Haven't tried installing in computer. Why bother? I can download from card to computer with card reader. Love the portability. Getting our son one for his birthday.
4 Awesome photo lab for $149
I highly recommend this printer. I did plenty of research and came to the conclusion that this printer offers the best features for the price. The other HP model (HP 375) offers a photo preview screen but costs more. I saw a retail store rep print the same image on HP and Epson printers and the HP printers usually were faster with equal or better photo quality. My family has used this printer for a month now and it is so much fun. Great job HP!
5 Disappointing at first but HP resolved the issue
I was frustrated when I first bought the printer. It creates great pictures from my memory card but it would not install on my computer. After reading someone's previous review I thought I should just return it. I contacted HP and one of the customer service reps told me that a certain batch of those printers have a defect that will not allow it to be installed on your computer. I had received advice from other HP reps and it did not work. The only solution was to exchange the printer through Hewlett Packard not the store I bought it from. HP sent me another printer and my computer was able to recognize that printer. Now I can print from my computer and my memory card.
6 Don't waste your money
I am so disappointed in my 325. It prints beautiful photos from my memory stick, however, I couldn't install it on my computer.
I called cust. service and they couldnt' help me either.
I enlisted help from family and friends and no one can get this thing installed. I keep getting a message that says there is no software to install the hardware!
So, try another brand. I"m going to.
7 Excellent prints in a small package
I needed a photo printer that produced excellent pictures, was easy to use, and had a small footprint. The HP 325 Photosmart filled all of my needs. The photo quality is excellent and it takes up very little space. My wife isn't exactly a techie, so I wanted a photo printer that was very easy to use. All she has to do is plug in her CF card, choose a picture, and hit print. No need for the computer. I can use Photoshop to adjust my pictures and then easily print photo quality 4x6's. Highly recommended. The only drawback is the small screen size. You can pay $50 more for the next model up for a larger screen and a few more on-printer options though.
