HP Photosmart 7350

Beautiful pictures

This printer worked fine right out the box. Set up, installation of software was breeze. No problem with it working with my operating system XP. My pictures that I scanned and printed came out beautiful. It really did look like they were done by a professional. (sorry) my only problem with it was that after two weeks, I had to replace the #58 print cartridge, as I believe that--that cartridge was probably a demo, otherwise everything else was just fine. BTW I did find a great price (wont mention the site here however,)for both my replaced color and my new black cartridge. Look around, great prices are out there.
Enjoy printing. :)

Don't buy this piece of junk.

I cannot describe how lousey this printer is. It is slower than a 1985 dial up modem. Two minutes to do a printed page in black and white. A color photo of 4x6 takes 5 minutes. This is on a HP Pavilion POC computer. So I tried it on my G4 Mac that has an excellent 1115 Photosmart on it. The 7350 would not work with OSX until I downloaded the latest driver from HP which took an hour as I only have dial-up. The printer works a little faster on the Mac, but not by much. The photo quality is not near as good as the HP1115 or Epson I have. I cannot recommend this piece of junk. Oh by the way, HP support is non-exhistant unless you pay first? ...

Slower than a dial-up modem

This is without a doubt, the worst printer I have ever purchased. I bought this one to use on my HP computer, as I use a Photosmart 1115 with my Power Mac G4 and it is excellent. I figgured the extra inking would be better on the PC. WRONG. So I tried it on the Mac, it is SLOWER. It runs about 1 page per minute and a half. A color photo takes 5 minutes, and this is a small 4x6 print. I'll keep the 1115. It has better photo quality also. AND, the smart card reader is also slow. The 1115 reads the same photos in 1/10 th the time. I will never recommend this printer to anyone.

No Complaints

I bought this about three months ago and have not had a single problem. It took about five minutes to plug it in and set it up. I use it exclusively to print photos on 4 x 6 and 8.5 x 11 photo paper. I have not encountered any issues with the paper feed. The photos look great. It is helpful to print straight from a memory card, but the software that comes with the printer allows you to clean things up before your print so I tend print from my PC.I always print at the highest resolution and I am happy with the number of photos that I can print before I need to change the ink.

Awesome Printer, Awesome Price

This is a great printer and an even better price. Photos printed on 4 by 6 photo paper look like they came from the developer. Printing directly from your memory cards is a big plus too. Highly recommended.

don't buy this printer!

I bought the HP Photosmart 7350 last week. After attempting to install the new printer several times, I finally realized that it was defective. The UBC connector in back of the printer did not work at all (the one in front, for the digital camera, worked fine). I noticed it right away - the cable did not snap in all of the way and I was never able to install the printer because my computer could not establish a connection.I returned to the store and exchanged the broken printer for another HP 7350. It has the exact same problem with the port in back. I contacted HP online for some customer support and here was the final response:"As the computer recognized your printer when connected to the front port of your printer, it indicates that the issue is with the port of your printer. In order to resolve the issue, you would have to get your printer serviced."
"Note: Out of warranty products do require a fee." Please note: this is a brand new printer, right out of the box, and it is the second HP 7350 I have received this week with a broken port.After reading other reviews online, it sounds like this product is a "hit or miss" in just getting it up and running. I think HP should seriously look into the quality control or the design of this particular model. I will not have the printer serviced, but will return it for a full refund and will buy something that works.I hope this review helps you avoid a big disappointment and waste of time.

This is great!

This is the first photo printer that I have purchased and I am impressed with the ease of the 4x6 printing capabilities and the quality of the photos.

HP let me down on this one

Good printer except I have to unplug it from the power source and "reboot" the printer to get it to be recognized by the Windows XP machine. Real pain. Black ink cartridge is a little low in capacity.

HP 7350 - Communication error

I bought an HP Photosmart 7350. Installed the drivers exactly as it said in the manual. Printed a photo.It was superb.Great photo quality.But soon ...my ordeal with the printer was to begin!The printer started giving me so much hassle as I have never expirienced before.
I found out that once I shut down the PC and restarted it, it was not possible to establish connection between the PC and the printer. The printer would not turn ON. I had to pull the USB cable out sometimes to establish connection. Sometimes that too wouldn't work. I had to pull the power cable out and put it back in to re-establish connection. All in all, it was a pain to turn the printer on. Now, that you have turned it ON doesn't mean you can print! The print job goes through with no errors, but nothing is printed out. There is no error produced. So, what is happening?
Now that the printer is turned ON, there is no way you can turn it OFF. Communication between PC and printer has failed again, that it is impossible to turn it OFF. Again, pulling the power chord or USB cable may do the trick.
I replaced the printer for another, thinking it must be a faulty printer. The second printer behaved just the same. I installed on a second PC. I changed the USB cable. Things did not improve. After 4 weeks of fretting and frowning, I returned the printer and bought a HP 5550 deskjet. It installed first time ( using USB port)and is working ever since with no problems.
I emailed HP with the HP 7350 printer problems. Even though I got quick replies from their Technical Support, they promised me that a representative in UK will call me(I am based in UK) and talk me through to getting the printer working. But to-date I have not heard from an HP representative.

Great Printer for the Dough!

I bought this printer two weeks ago and I've already went through four reams of photo paper with no problems whatsoever. The print quality is GREAT. From one foot away you can not tell the difference between photo printed from this printer and one done by your local photo lab. Of course there is a small amount of pixellation, a very small amount, and in some cases none. Unless your willing to spend four digits for a printer your going to get that with all of them. Installation is easy and fast, and the new print cartridges, (although a little on the pricy side) make the difference because of the 7 colors. I see some people trashing this printer and I don't know why, maybe they got a lemon, it happens sometimes, or maybe they are working with a not so great cammera. Some of the people trashing it have obviously owned every HP printer available, usually two or three of each model, because the same folks ... every HP devise on this site. Come on folks, get off the "I've got nothing better to do than to ... brands I don't like" thing. I'm not a big HP fan, (had lots of trouble with their cammera's), but this printer changed my mind.
