HP PhotoSmart 7150 Inkjet Printer

Customer Reviews:

When it's dead, it's dead for good.
It is an OK printer while it is working. But when all three control lights start blinking (without any reasonable introduction), you should pretty much give up all your trouble shooting efforts. The "Help" section is worthless, just as the "Basics Guide" booklet. The bubble from the utility bar keeps referring to a craddle blockage that is simply not there...Would you wanna waste hours on the phone to get to technical assistance? The only reason I even remotely consider buying another HP printer, because now I am stuck with all the refill cartridges...

HP 7150
My HP 7150 prints nice photographs. The quality is very good, but I have had a lot of difficulty getting 4x6 sizes of paper to feed properly.

Also, business letters are important to me and I can't get envelopes to feed properly.

It has been frustrating not having availability of free customer service.

I will probably replace this unit with an Epson in the near future.

See my earlier review

I reviewed this product on October 19th, last year. It has been six months now, and the printer is still operating flawlessly. It feeds well, prints great color pictures, and I am completely pleased with it.

If only HP would make one a little faster, with the same quality.

stylish, stunning, very reliable
I had a canon s520 but i sold it because it went bad and I needed to replace the head which costed more than the printer. I'm glad i got the photosmart 7150. its so much better. the prints come out soo good on 4x6 using the photo tank. also i found out hp ink tanks come with heads on them so you'll get a good printing everytime. the ink tanks might cost a bit more but if you put your quality in the settings to like "draft" or "everyday" printing then you'll save a lot of money. go buy this!! its very affordable too.

good, but not exellent
I bought HP 7150 a week ago, and so far it's been running well. I saw severl reviews on the paper feeding problem of this printer, but so far it's not with me. As to the photo quality, I should say, it performs very good in colors and resolutions, but not in color shades. So if you want sth not that expansive for your ordinary photo printing, you can check this model out. One big thing I don't like about it (although I have prepared well for this problem) is that it's extremely ink consuming! Everybody has told me about it, but I was still surprised at the quick decreasing ink level (shown in the software) when printing photos!
