HP PhotoSmart 7350 Inkjet Printer

We ordered a used HP7350 so we could use our supply of new cartridges originally purchased for another HP model that died. Amazon's third party vendor, HBeckerUS, failed to ship and appears to be an unreliable vendor. Beware folks!! Fortunately, Amazon helped us a lot and responded in suggesting we just accept a full refund. Great service and fast responses from Amazon Customer Service!!

I bought this printer in the fall of '02. It has been the best printer I have ever had. Pictures were phenomenal, colors perfect. I just saw pictures from a portable HP photo printer my sister had . . . yuck! The colors were horrible, unless you have the skin of an umpa lumpa. The colors this printer produced were spot-on.
Sadly, I had to reinstall the drivers as I reinstalled my hard drive. The print preferences will not open, therefore, I cannot print best quality pictures. I did download the updated driver from the HP website. These drivers make our faces reddened, not natural at all. This is very frustrating. HP's customer Service, however, is TERRIBLE! The man I spoke with did not have any computer experience it seemed, he was a joke.
Anyway, 6.5 years is a great run on one of these printers.

This is a good printer if you're still running Windows XP or Mac OS 10.4 or lower, but AVOID it if you're using Windows Vista! There are no native Windows Vista drivers for this printer, and the generic Windows Vista drivers for the HP Deskjet series do not include support the memory card reader or ink level monitoring.

But costly in terms of ink replacement cartridges.

We have had this printer for over 3 yrs and works like a charm. It is exclusively dedicated to print photos and it gets a lot of use.

We have not had any problems with it and frankly, for heavy office/document work, nothing beats a laser printer. We have had our Laseerjet4 for almost 12yrs (great work horse). The HPphotosmart prints the pictures as clearly as they are seen on the screen. When comparing a set developed in the lab and the prints made at home, we are very pleased with the details and quality.

The ink cartridges as stated above are expensive, but even using a refill kit, the results are incredibly good. If you are into refilling it yourself it will cut your cost tremendously.

The "fuzzy" not clear images stated in another post, may have more to do with the resolution of the picture taken by the camera than with the printer. Good software for twiking the pictures is a must.

I loved this printer from the moment I bought it. It was quick and easy to install and the print quality has been awesome in both color, for photos, and black and white. It printed beautiful, professional quality photos. However, the ink was fairly expensive (but I knew this when I bought it.) Trouble is, after not quite 2 years of ownership, it stopped printing black! It gives a "replace cartridge" "cartridge failed" error message now and despite trying (and opening) two brand new cartridges nothing works. Repair would be more expensive than buying a new one. I'm very disappointed in the longevity of this product but it was great while it lasted.
