HP Photosmart A526 Compact Photo Printer

This printer makes pretty good prints, as long as you get them to the printer exactly how you want them to be printed. There are no photo editing options on this printer, except for the red-eye repair function (which has yet to work once for me.) I also just realized that only the SD card slot will read cards. I tried an XD memory card and four different USB flash drives and got memory card error for all of them. In order to print pictures from my new camera, I have to transfer them to my computer and then to an SD card. Annoying. Overall, I think this printer would be great for a teenager just wanting to share pictures with friends, but not really good for adults who want a higher quality picture and the ability to edit the picture before it prints.

Says cartridge failed, numerous times in and out !! Extremely unhappy. Second printer so why?

Just bought this on sale and am pleased with the quality of the prints. I had a kodak printer in the past and had planned on buying another to replace my broken one but couldnt beat the price I found this for. However, I agree with the person who said they could have included the wire to connect it to a PC. But when I need a quick picture printed it comes in handy. I AM having problems using a thumb drive with it but am not sure if its the thumb drive itself or the printer.

It worked when I got it, but no more. The timing tape inside the mechanism needs to be cleaned, but the unit doesnt come apart. Something you need to know about HP, after the warranty expires you are on your own. They wont even answer a simple email question.

Very pleased with this printer. Came quickly and even had a used cartridge in it. Just what I needed.

Had mine for several years now. Its quick and the pictures are nice. Ink is expensive if you go to the store but online isnt bad. I wouldnt spend 200 on it but its nice if you can get a good deal.

I bought this printer & gave it for a Christmas package. I tried to use it before I gave it away & it did a good job of printing pictures.

All I can say is this is really a terrible printer. Printed about a half dozen pictures -quality so-so. Couldnt figure out why then the pictures started printing very poor quality with a weird whitish color overlaying the pictures.

Printer works just fine, but the sample ink cartridge that came with it had expired in 2008 (8 years prior to my purchasing the item in 2016). Had to buy a new one before being able to use the printer.

Works well, easy to use, good quality prints. I have 2 of these and recommend- one at home and one at office.
