Summary: Printer Works Great
Comment: I've owned the Printer Dock Plus Series 3 for about 6 months, and found it to make better prints than I could get from my Canon 960. So I sold the Canon. The Canon inkjet inks dried up if I didn't use the printer for a month or so, and the ink cartridges were $12 each. The Kodak inks do not appear to dry up over extended non-use. So I'm saving a bundle on replacing the expensive ink cartridges. I did keep a 8 year old Epson ink jet just to print 8x10's, and I go on Ebay and buy the cheapest color cartridges that I can find which is about $10 for the color and black and white cartridge. It works great for the short term school and work reports.
I teach digital camera classes at the local schools, and the Kodak Easy Share software editor is universally despised and loathed. Don't install the Easy Share Software, and if you have to install it, go into the settings and make sure it doesn't run at start up. You don't need the software if you are just printing from your camera. Once this software is installed, it is programmed to automatically try to copy pictures from anytime you insert a device such as a USB, CD, DVD or another camera.
If you want to use the dock from your PC as another printer, you can just hook it up via the USB cable and install the PRINTER DRIVERs. You have the option of NOT installing the EasyShare software editor. Once this is hooked up, you can just manually copy photos from your camera's memory card to your PC via a USB card reader, and print 4x6s from your favorite photo editor.
If you are looking for a photo editor to print from and do simple things like darken and lighten, and red eye correction, then use Google's Picasa. It is free, and has a terrific user interface, and you can easily print from Picasa to your Kodak Printer once the printer is attached to your PC via the USB cable.
The prints are perfect, fast, and durable, and I have never had a problem with the print quality. However you must order the 160 pack of paper from Amazon which will get your price per print down to about 25 cents a print. Amazon has the very best deal on this paper.

Summary: A good buy... for the most part
Comment: I like the fact that I can recharge my camera on the dock, but I was a little suspicious as to the 'new' status of my product due to marks that were already on it. I also wish that I would've known that there was a rechargable battery included, because I also purchased one of those, now I have two. I didn't see that in the item description anywhere. I was disappointed that after 4 pictures it said that my ink cartridge was low...that's the only down side. The picture quality was really good. For the most part, I really like the product.

Summary: AGGRAVATING
Comment: This is a wonderful item IF or WHEN it works. It prints the pictures beautifully IF it works. The trouble is that after using it for a little while (and I mean a little while) It will quit feeding the paper in and the lights start blinking saying that you are out of paper and that you are out of ink. I have messed with it and messed with it, for some of you who have the same problems sometimes cleaning the feeder roller with rubbing alcohol will get it to work but this doesn't work all the time. Right now my printer won't work and I cleaned the roller and it is very aggravating as the paper and ink aren't cheap. I think it is cheaper going down to WalMart and using their instant photo machine. This is not worth the money or the aggravation!!!!!

Summary: Very good print quality
Comment: This printer works very well with our system. It has great print quality and the speed is acceptable. The only complaint I have is that you have to use the Kodak paper that comes with the cartridges.
