HP PhotoSmart 325 Compact Photo Printer

Was not what I was looking for.

I received the order quicker than I thought I would. It came with everything that it said it would and it prints beautifully! Im very happy.

Very pleased with this item. I work for a nonprofit organization that deals with abused children and we are getting ready to do a fund raiser and needed the extra printer.

Only saving grace was a quick refund. Was supposed to be able to work. Got the printer. No cord, no software, no ink, pretty much bought a paper weight.

The bundled install disk was corrupted. There was not a single scratch on the disk but my computer, and a few friends, could not read the disk. HP said to just download and install the drivers off their website. This does not work either. After downloading and running the most up to date drivers I get an error every time saying at least one file could not be found. The software then rolls back and forces me to restart. There is no restart later or cancel buttons after or during the installation. I just have to wait till it screws up (or end the process in the task manager). Windows cannot install the printer either, its just error after error. Ive tried everything including manually installing the drivers that were unpacked by the drivers off the website and its still missing files. I cant even review the products actual use because I cant get the damn thing to work. Ive even paid someone to come over and try to install it but they run into the same problems. HPs software is horrible and their support hasnt helped me at all.

affordable printer that prints a very good quality shot. i have particularly enjoyed working with black and white cartridges. a good buy indeed

Replaced a printer that had been damaged. Works great and have not had any problems with the printer as of now.

I was strongly considering buying this printer - until I saw my friends prints she made with it. Im usually a fan of HP but I really feel they took a step backwards with the photosmart series. The only real drawback to this printer is the fact that it only uses a tri-color cartridge. Yup, there is only cyan, magenta, and yellow. No black! The way this printer makes black (or shades of grey for that matter) is by combining all 3 colors to form a composite black. This causes the prints to seem washed out and lacking dark contrast (not to mention using a large amount of ink). If you have any sort of darkness, shading, or greys in there, they will be represented poorly. Dont believe me? Go to a local store, ask to see the examples, and compare it to other printers.

Its a pieces of crap

I have owned the hp photosmart,325 ,for two months now. The machine is easy to use,compact,and portable. The battery is not included,!!nor is the printer cable.!!!the unit works well and i highly recommend it.!!!Please note if the printer cable and battery,had been inclued with this package!!!,I would have given this a 5 star rating.
