I personally like the HP Photosmart printers. I am using a Photosmart P1100. Have owned it four years without any problems whatsoever. Makes excellent quality photo prints, and the print cartridges are readily available. The newer Photosmart printers also come with a color LCD display and several types of media slots so you can print directly from just about any type of memory card if you don't want to use the computer. At work we use HP large format plotters and laser printers almost exclusively under very heavy work loads and rarely have any problems. I'm pretty much sold on the Hp Printers, and will buy another HP without any reservations. -- Don Levstik wd5jbc at att.net
