The Little-Big Printer!
Received printer as a gift and am I ever so Glad!!This little printer has a big heart.The photo qualities are about 90% compared to larger/laser printers. The slighest grain noticable... HOWEVER... This printer is outstanding...It is light, it is portable to take to picinics, family gatherings, car-trip vacations (perfect for printing photo-postcards!!!)
Good printer, but relatively high costs of consumables
I am happy with the quality of the pictures, but found that the cost of the Print Packs are high.Compared to Epson and Canon photo printers, the Olympus print packs cost a lot more.
Olympus P-10: Avoid it if you care about color
I bought a P-10 from a non-Amazon online seller. I was sold by the glowing reviews, including those on Amazon and in Consumer Reports. I was willing to put up with the very high per print cost for great color and for the durable coating offered by the dye-sub technology.

No trouble and no clogs
I have owned this printer for two years and both used it hard at times and left it unused for several weeks at a time.I have had no trouble whatsoever with it.In fact I believe it to be the best Epson I have ever owned.You have to wonder if the folks that have had trouble with it are using generic ink, something we have not done.

Constant clog
You will be constanly cleaning print heads and using up all your ink not printing. The cost of ink combined with the cost to keep the printer running smoothly is a fortune. Online they will tell you sometimes waiting a day after cleaning will help but frankly when I go to print, I need to print. Basically you need to constantly print on this to keep from wasting your ink on cleanings but instead you'll be wasting your ink at the same rate on frivulous printings.

Excellent professional printer
We've been using our printer for 2 yrs now w/o any issues. Its survived 3 house moves and extended 105F heat. No clogging, no breakdowns. The paper roll attachment is particularly clever and saves lots of money on paper. But this is a professional printer for serious photographers. Its not for printing the occasional photo emailed from the grandkids. Its big and a little intimidating. As with any serious photographic work, you'll benefit from using Photoshop with a professional color calibration utility. We use Monaco and it works very well. Always an exact color match. ...

Crucial pieces broke off
I have had my 7550 printer for 3 years.After the 2 year point the black cartridge stopped working.Replacing it didn't work so I used it in "reserve mode" for a year (only using the other more expensive color cartridges).Today one of the color cartridges stopped working.I found a tiny black piece of plastic at the site, so I checked all three. Lo and behold, the little black pieces that hold the cartridges in place are missing from the two cartridge doors that are not working.I checked the third one and it is hanging by a thread.Three times a charm... sounds like a major design flaw.

Best Printer I ever owned
I love HP printers, but this one takes the top award. It prints photos, word documents, and whatever else you want it to with ULTRA high quality. The LCD just adds to the design. Ink can be expensive as this model holds ALL 3 (black and white, color and photo) all at once, unlike lower models. Its easier though, and well worth it! This is some printer.

Great printer
I am not a technophobe, yet I found this printer easy to use and operate.I have printed all the way to 8 X 10 photos with no problems and great clarity.I really like it, and have owned it since they first came out over a year ago with no problems. ... Read more

Awesome printer
I bought this printer to make photo pictures with my Kodak digital camera.I liked the idea that you could print pictures with it and not have to have it hooked up to a computer.
Best printer I've ever owned!
I've been through a lot of crappy printers and this one was the best I've ever had.It's held up through 4 moves, a lot of printing through grad school, and the best part is that the ink cartridges are cheap and last a long time!I also recently discovered that it prints great pics!All around, you couldn't ask for more for $99.

Solid Performer on 4X6 photos
The Canon i470D has turned out to be a very good investment.I am in electronics sales and we are constantly told to that "features tell & benefits sell!"

Worth the $$$
I purchased this printer, not knowing exactly what I would use it for, and realized that it works great for photos.I no longer make the run to the store and open up the wallet.The cartridges last for a decent amount of time and I thoroughly enjoy the convenience.

Carriage stuck.
The quality of pictures is very good.However, the carriage gets stuck on the left margin and there is no solution, outside of replacement of printer. The lever to insert photo size paper is poorly designed and break easily, leaving one to hand feed paper.

This printer is Great!
This printer prints out wonderful pictures. I'm very happy with it. I have had no problems whatsoever. I think the people that had problems possibly had a bad batch. No product is perfect. But as far as I'm concerned, mine is great!! ... Read more

I will never again buy an Epson printer
This is the 2nd Epson Stylus I have owned. The first worked fine for about 6 months, then I had constant problems with clogged heads requiring numerous cleaning cycles and wasting the very expensive ink. I thought that if I bought a newer, better (more expensive) model that I would not have the same problems. Boy was I wrong! It's the exact same story with the new printer. I know it's a relatively inexpensive printer but it should last longer than 6 months. Never again! I am finished with Epson.

SAVE YOUR MONEY
Buy something else, if there were a zero star option I would have given it.
What do you expect?
I have had this printer for almost 2 years. I use the cheapest ink I can find and YES I use it with XP.

It's the coolest party toy since the Polaroid: the new Canon CP-200 Photo Printer. Connect it directly to your Powershot-series Canon or other PictBridge-supporting digital camera, and you'll be printing snapshots and stickers faster than you can say "cheese."

The included USB cable adapter also lets you connect the CP-200 to your camera or your computer for access to images stored there.Read more

• Prints 4-by-6-inch snapshots in as little as 85 seconds

• Portable pocket-sized convenience, weighs less than 29 ounces
• USB interface, PC and Mac compatible; 1-year warranty

Go to Canon USA's Website for Drivers!
This is a good quality printer with 2 major restrictions.First, the printer, printer paper & cartridge packs, and additional paper trays for labels and such are expensive.Second, the largest it prints is 4"x6".
Spectacular results
For me (Windows XP Home edition), everything worked perfectly out of the box.Within 15 min of opening the box, I had pictures that easily beat the 1 hour photo machines in both detail and color.(I have a 6mp DSLR.)I used an SD card reader to transfer files from the camera to the computer, then used the Microsoft print wizard in MS Photo Manager to quickly size and send the print.This is a great tool to have for getting beautiful snapshots quickly.It is a little pricey as noted in earlier reviews because special paper and dye-sub materials are required but the quality easily beats my Epson C84 IJ and Lexmark Z805 IJ.I will probably use one of the on-line services for bulk printing because they are much cheaper but I always have the capability for something right away when I want it.

It can be fast.
I used this printer with my Digital Rebel.It fed the paper almost immediately and started the printing process.Photos were done quickly.I find it valuable when visiting friends and family.I am able to leave photographic memories immediately.As for the price of photos, I don't print every photo that I take, only ones that I can't wait to print before I get home on my computer. This is definitely a nice little tool that can even be put in your camera bag.Don't expect to find cheaper replacement ribbons on the third party printer cartridge sites. ... Read more

Nice Features, But Very Ink-Hungry
I've now owned and used this little printer for almost two years.There are a few things I like about it, but one major thing I do not like.
thirsty little bugger
I bought this printer because it was the cheapest available, and I was in a situation where I needed a printer for just a few weeks and then I had to abandon it.
Great for text, but not for photos
This is a good printer for regular print jobs, but it does not print to photo quality. If you don't print photos from a digital camera or if you are not concerned about photo quality then this is the printer for you. It is a cheap, easy to install printer that will handle your daily print duties, but photos are pixellated and off-colour. ... Read more

would like to give it 5 stars, but does not work
Unfortunately, this machine does not work yet. Rather than hassle the return centers and all that, I am electing to take it to Olympus, down the street from me, and pay to have it fixed. Hopefully I can then update this review.

Amazing printer
This printer is amazing in its output. It is functionally equivalent to the P-440, which is newer.
Simply Amazing!
Got this printer for $199 new (plus tax).This is the only printer I have ever used that literally is plug and play.No tweaks or fiddling with settings (though the option to do that is available).Right out of the box it prints so good you'd think you were in a Kodak or Fuji lab.I've shot photos with Lumix LC5 and Lumix FZ20 and the prints are spectacular.The trickiest part was loading in the new film, after using up the sample film that came pre-loaded.It took a couple minutes to read the directions.Someone else commented about this and gave the printer a "1" rating.Big deal.After you install the film once, you've got the idea.

Need a Reliable printer? Look elsewhere, no durability here
I've had the HP Photosmart 7260 for about one year and have experienced similar problems: Cradle sticking, Paper jamming, etc. Envelopes never print straight.
Don't know what everyone else is complaining about . . .
I have owned the 7260 for roughly 2 years, I use it as the primary photo printer for my photography business and have not had the experience that everyone else seems to be having.I think the main problem is that people are purching the 7260 for use as a document printer, which it is not.The name is very descriptive of the printer's primary function: PHOTOsmart.I have a second printer (HP deskjet 3850)for dedicated document printing.I have printed hundreds of pages with this printer with very few problems.
Paper Eater
My girlfriend and I used this printer for less than a year before it began to give us paper troubles.It started by losing its alignment and then began to mangle the paper on its way through the printer.We both need to print plain boarding passes so you can imagine the trouble this causes when the scanners at the airports can't read the printed pass.We recommend that you pay a little extra and get a printer that isn't made to last a day longer than its warranty. ...

Canon printers rock!
I bought this in a fit of dispair after yet another battle of errors with my hideously expensive Epson printer-copier-scanner.The print quality on the Canon is just as good, and the function is better, as the Epson would take either no pages or 5 pages at once.And for all that the quality is good, Canon's not a ink-drinker, either.
First Class Quality at Low Price
Replaced my Epson Photo Printer.Ink cartridge are readily available and dirt cheap.Epson was not as good.Cons:I find it a bit slow.

LOVE IT!!!!!
I upgraded to this printer, from cannon 4400, was good deal on this printer, only takes 2 brands of ink, color 24 and black, very, very good in pictures, and I dont have to wait to download my pictures anymore, from kodak software that takes forever, and sometimes kodak softweare dosent work right.

Pretty good printer ruined by print stickiness problem
I have had this for about a year - great looking results, especially if corrected and printed from a good software package.The stickiness problem seems insurmountable.I have tried several different papers and drying times up to 3 weeks, but they will always stick to photo album transparent material (have tried several brands).I wish HP would sought this problem out - also occurs with prints from other HP printer models.Finally bought a Cannon Selphy dye-sub printer which does not have this problem.

Quantity not quality
At the time of purchase I was considering a few cameras.I not only considered the individual cost but also the price of paper and ink.At the time I thought that I had made the right choice by selecting the most cost efficient item.The printer is very easy to use and prints quickly.For quick prints where quality is not that important this printer is great.If you want quality pictures this printer does not even come close to its counterparts.My friend bought the Kodak printer the same day.Her printer is slower and runs out of ink faster but the prints are phenomenal.My prints come out more quickly but the quality is just not there even when set to all of the best options.I wish now that I had gone another route.The printer has just one color cartridge for all colors, however if you print a lot of one color (example pictures at the ocean) then other prints look oddly greenish or redish without the cartridge suggesting a change.I also have a problem with stickiness, I have tried both the premium HP paper as well as other brands and it comes out sticky.The pictures stick to my frames and scrapbook covers even after several hours of drying time.For quick pictures to pin on a bulletin board or give to kids this is great, but for memorable lasting photos this isin't the best bet.

Disappointed in NY
At first I loved this printer, it is simple to use and can be used alone or through your pc.Unfortunately the photos never dry.At first I thought it was because I either framed them or put them in an album before they had a chance to dry.I then printed some and let them sit out to dry for weeks and the photos never dried.Any photos that I have framed eventually stick to the glass, particularily the darker spots of the photo.I even got a new printer from HP and still encountered the same problem...has anyone else had this problem? (Yes I am using the correct HP paper and ink) ... Read more

high maintenance
Don't buy this - yes, it's cheap, but unless you like babysitting your printer by feeding each sheet in by hand, you're better off spending a few more bucks and getting something that works.

Economical and Long Lasting
This printer has lasted a long time.I've had several HPs that jammed then died within six months of purchase, but this printer is a workhorse.It has been overused for three years now and still has great quality.I find the ink cartridges extremely simple and quick to change out.My only problem with the printer is that the color of printing on envelopes is sometimes a little funky (brownish), rather than the black it should be.

worst printer ever
I've had this for two weeks and already it's stopped working; it started losing alignment, and the paper started jamming for no reason. Don't buy this unless you like to fight with your printer for an hour the day a paper is due. ... Read more
