[...] Yes, you have to buy a separate USB cable and its probably a good idea to buy extra ink cartidges, so the price does go up a little, but that's pretty similar to most printers.
For $119, I was very surprised at the quality of my pictures. Vivid, clean, sharp pictures. I had to almost kiss the photo to see that it was printed off of a printer and not developed. (Pictures taken with a 3.2 MP Nikon Coolpix). Another great thing was that the setup was a sinch, so I was able to print pictures quickly. Lastly, this model (over the 7850) gives you the option to link the camera directly to the printer or insert your camera's memory card into the front of the printer so that you don't even need a computer. (There are some editing limitation with this option, but at least there's the option.) Lastly, there is an extra paper tray for borderless 4x6 photopaper. Nice.
The only complaints I have are that the software is not super intuitive, but I would only dock my rating about a quarter point for that, because the software does offer some nice options like making calendars or brochures, etc. Also, for great B&W photos, you'd have to buy a third cartridge (though there is a storage space built into the printer for an extra cartridge).
Overall, excellent printer for the price.

I was in the market for a new inkjet and finally settled on this printer. The photo output is awesome and it's very fast!
There are only two things I would comment on that new users might not be aware of. I was ready to return the printer as I thought it was defective until I found out what the problems were.
1) When the cartridges dry out, it will tell you that the cartridges are incompatible. This was confusing as I did have the correct cartridges in the printer. A "replace cartridge" message would have been less ambiguous.
2) The printer has so far appeared "dead" once. When I went to turn it on, it would not do so. The solution is on HP's website - you must remove the rear door and do a hard reset. I did this and the printer worked fine again.
The printer does not come with a USB cable, but those can be easily bought for $14-20.

This is my first HP printer and I am impressed with the quality of the unit, and the quality of the printing. I can't speak for the software that came with it, as I use Picasa2 and don't want to change. It IS Photosmart, I somtimes make a mistake and have the wrong size paper selected...this printer will not print unless things are OK. I mostly print 4X6, and the handy holder for this size stores in the top of the unit. Don't tell HP, but I refill the ink, so this is a budget saving printer. For less than $100, you can't go wrong. Amazon delivered it in a couple days even with free shipping. I would buy another.
Great deal on a new printer April 11, 2009

If you are looking for a printer that uses hp96,97 and 99, this is great printer. I paid $70 for a new HP Photosmart 8050 and that included free shipping.

I bought this for my wife so she could print high quality pictures of our new grandson. Within minutes of setting it up she was printing away. It is easy to use and frankly does as good if not better job than with professional print shops. For the price you can not go wrong with this product.
