Summary: High Quality Expensive Prints at Dial-Up Speed
Comment: Upon purchasing my first photo printer I wasn't really sure what to expect out of the HPPhotosmart 7450, but overall I'm pretty satisfied.
Appearance: Not the sleekest piece of technology but for the price not too bad.(no color screen or LCD)
Ink: Slightly pricey and I barely scraped 100 fine quality 4x6 photos with the ink running low for the last few.
Paper: Happened to find some good deals online but more expensive than paper should be.
Prints: Was shocked how perfect and crisp my pictures came out with the 6 ink technology! Except I can't quite figure out how to print without an ugly white tab along side of the picture :(.
Software: Great red eye reduction! It's a'ight but honestly it takes up alot of memory and slows down my computer.
Printer Setup: Can't really complain, just make sure you don't load the picture paper until after you have configured the allignment!
Speed: Have never used a photo printer of this type before so I can't really say how slow it is but it reminds me of the dial up days. If you're looking to print more than 5 photos at a time seriously this is not the printer for you.

Summary: My second HP printer dead in one year.
Comment: I had and HP 5150 for about a year and the it stop recognizing the catdriges so I went and buy this one... is the worst investment I could ever do, I use it a lot less than the one before and after a couple of months when I try to print something it says that "the printer cradle is stuck" or "paper jam on the printer".
Whats going on whit HP? Selling garbage printers now.

Summary: Paper jams
Comment: I use this printer for a few days, and the main problem with it (and probably with many HP printers) is demands for a good quality paper.
If you put cheap 80gm paper in it it will jam each second page (too light paper - it pick up 5-6 pages at a time) :(
If you put cheap photo paper it will not feed it (too heavy paper - it doen't bend properly in the feed unit :(
The old cheap Lexmark Z25 work with this paper without any problem.
So buying this printer you bound yourself to buying expensive paper (HP of course :) expensive cartriges etc...
Another problem is drivers. There is so many of stuff installed and hangs in memory. Even if you choose minimal installation, which should be a drivers only, you got HP Image Zone and some other software installed. Just to say - installation themself (copying/installing files) takes ~15 min on P4 2.5G.
Otherwise it is fine - printing quality is good and photos are perfect.

Summary: HP PhotoSmart 7450 Inkjet Printer
Comment: I had always been told that HP printers were the best inkjet units on the market and after my experience with this PhotoSmart 7450 I am now a true believer. There is simply no comparison between this printer and the Canons, Epson, and Lexmark units I had previously owned. This thing spits out color prints 5 or 6 times faster and with at least twice the print quality of any of my former units. The only fault I can find with it involves the cost of the ink cartridges. I really like the memory card reader built in the front of the printer also. I have not had a chance to print any photos with it yet, but with the quality of the regular prints it produces they should be impressive. As long as you can afford to feed its cartridge habit, I would not hesitate to recommend this printer to anyone!
