I bought my HP 1215 PhotoSmart printer in January of 2001 at Best Buy for about $400. I know you can get a less expensive model HP printer, but this one has an expansion slot on the back that allows the user to...

Pros: Print Quality, Flexibility, Speed

We purchased the Photosmart after reading many reviews about other printers on several sites. It seemed that the highest rated ones one one site were panned on other sites so it was a tough choice. We finally agreed that the Photosmart looked like the...

Cons: None

Hewlett Packard has done a lot of stuff that has just blown my mind, but this printer has just got me amazed. The HP photosmart 1215 does just about all you can ask of a printer.

Pros: Built-in media readers! Impressive print quality. And SO quiet!
Cons: Expensive, print quality LESS impressive compared to Canon/Epson. Very problematic drivers.

For me, the HP Photosmart 1215 was something of an impulse buy. I saw an open box at Circuit City for $100 off the usual price and figured it was worth a shot. Indeed, my first impression was that the Photosmart 1215's print quality is quite remarkable...

Pros: Fast. Photo quality. Looks cool, too.
Cons: On the high-end of price for a home printer.

I finally gave up on my old HP 694C (what a mistake that was!), and replaced it with the hot, new HP Photosmart 1215. This printer seems to be about 5 times faster than my old printer (on text and graphics), and it prints at photo quality on good paper....

From what...

Pros: Beautiful, fast, quiet prints, Card Media
Cons: Water based inks?

I loved this printer. I mean, my wife was jealous. I recently baught a Fuji digital camera, and I got this printer when I saw it could take the SmartMedia and CompactFlash memory cards.

What really made me buy it though, was that I was...

Well, I haven't written an Epinion in a while, but my most recent printer purchase qualifies, I think, for some commentary.

I have been using printers for various reasons going on 15 years. Of course back then it was a daisy wheel printer. I can say with all confidence that I have never seen a quality of print like this. The standard print on plain paper is fast and sharp....

Here I go again! I am back and can tell you without hesitation, if you have a digital camera you NEED this printer. You shove in your media card, select the photos, edit them, determine the size you want and print. OUTSTANDING color on plain copy paper...
