HP Photosmart C6180

HP Photosmart C6180Software is terribleSo, as an all-in-one, it works just okay. The main issue is its software. Consistently, it will not recognize computers attached via ethernet cord. It will also refuse to print if any of the cartridges are empty or not installed. This means...

HP Photosmart D5360

The HP Photosmart D5360 wants to be a compelling option for an inexpensive single-function photo printer. But it provides few of the photo options that would make it so. Standalone-mode options boil down to printing photos directly from a memory card; any edits have to be made using your PC....

HP Photosmart C6280 All-in-One

The HP Photosmart C6280 is a bit of an oddity. Despite being a member of HP's consumer Photosmart line, this $200 all-in-one inkjet offers features normally associated with office multifunctions, such as a built-in duplexer and networking, but lacks an important photo-oriented feature: a PictBridge port. It's also missing easily...

HP PhotoSmart A526

The HP Photosmart A526 is the entry-level model in the company's new line of snapshot printers. As we loved the Photosmart A826, we were looking forward to this one, as we figured it to be a scaled-down version of that printer. Unfortunately, HP scaled back too far and its price...

HP Photosmart A826

The HP Photosmart A826 is the first standalone snapshot printer we've seen that truly attempts to bring the in-store photo kiosk experience into the home. The printer's large size and extra large touch screen make using it a pleasure. And the fast print speed and wealth of features make it...

HP Photosmart D7460

The HP Photosmart D7460 offers a lot of great features at a decent price. For $180, you get a network-ready printer (wireless too!) with a handy touch screen that makes navigating menus a breeze. While we liked using this model, its performance gives us pause. Although it was speedy with...

HP Photosmart C5280 Multifunction Printer

The HP Photosmart C5280 is a bargain of an inkjet multifunction at $150. Its task speeds aren't stellar, but they are acceptable for the average home user. It's better suited for graphics and photo printing than for text printing, though, so look elsewhere if you need a lot of high-quality...

HP PhotoSmart M437

With one of the smallest price tags of all the major digital camera models, the HP Photosmart M437 looks like an appealing little camera. Its 5-megapixel sensor and 2-inch LCD won't turn many heads, but its just-slightly-more-than-$100 MSRP looks mighty good to anyone looking for a budget camera. The M437...

HP Photosmart C4280

The HP Photosmart C4280 is a low-cost, entry-level photo all-in-one that offers a very basic feature set, variable task speeds, and mediocre print quality. We found the feature limitations frustrating, even for a $100 printer; other similarly priced all-in-one printers offer a broader set of features. For the same $100,...

HP Photosmart C6180

The $300 HP Photosmart C6180 is a photo printer by name but has office-printer tendencies by function. The inclusion of an automatic document feeder, built-in networking including wireless, and fax functionality make it attractive as an office printer, but its task speeds are too slow for all but the smallest...

HP Photosmart D7160

There are faster photo printers but few as versatile as the HP Photosmart D7160. If you're looking for a dedicated photo printer that can churn out high-quality photos quickly, this isn't the printer for you. If you need an all-purpose printer that can produce excellent text prints as well as...

HP Photosmart D7360

The HP Photosmart D7360 photo inkjet printer offers some decent features for photo hobbyists--including some we haven't seen before--but it also lacks some basic features that would be useful. For $200, you get a solid-quality printer that's fast with text prints but disappointingly slow at 4x6 photo prints. (For about...

HP Photosmart R927

Most digital cameras come with the assumption that the user has at least some knowledge of photography--but not HP's Photosmart R927. Sure, it's the 8-megapixel flagship of the company's camera line, but with a menu and help system that's every bit as slick at its sculpted, brushed-aluminum casing, the Photosmart...

HP Photosmart Pro B9180

After the resounding silence that met the Photosmart 8750, its first foray into the enthusiast/pro photo-printer space, HP valiantly tries again, this time having learned from its past mistakes. The HP Photosmart Pro B9180 uses a new set of eight pigment-based Vivera inks with preliminary 200-plus-year fade-resistance ratings (on select...

Kodak 5250

The ESP 5250 is Kodak's latest upgrade to last year's ESP 5 all-in-one AIO, which should be obvious from the almost identical design. Aside from looks, the printer does make improvements to print quality and most notably, output speed, but the printer still isn't perfect--it's missing an auto-document feeder and...

HP Photosmart Premium TouchSmart Web
