HP PhotoSmart 375B Compact Photo Printer with Battery Reviews
I am surprised by readers who had problems with this product. Simple to use, reliable, available. In fact, it has proven a great success. I was given this printer just over a year ago and was quite sceptical about it. Mine worked perfectly first time - there was no need to download anything, you just plugged in your USB memory stick and it was ready to print. Even my final researvation, that the replacement paper and cartridge would be a rip-off, turned out to be unfounded.
Good quality prints take about 1 minute. Admittedly getting the software installed was very tricky (repeated installs, updated software and patches downloaded from HP's website, getting the computer to recognized the printer, etc)but once done it has worked flawlessly. I think the newer models (385). This call was easier a year ago when HP had the only true decent mini on the market). You may find that you actually will get about 100 photos per ink cartridge. The combo deal with battery at Amazon beat any competitors by a long shot. I bought the 375B at Amazon about a year ago for work done out "in the field". The 75 photo "paper and ink" combo packs available pretty much do the trick.
have some additional editing features. Being able to crop and zoom, as well as darken/lighten, reduce red-eye, etc right on the printer has a lot of "cool" factor in it. The battery holds a charge for quite a while (month+), and is priceless when AC power isn't available. The new versions also print 5x7, have the memory card slots labelled, and possibly also have wireless/bluetooth (my only reasons for 4 stars). This little dynamo produces some of the best color prints out there for a portable, even compared to full-size and newer printers (proviso: I haven't really looked too closely at the new crop of Epson and Canon mini-portables. I figured the cost to be around.25 cents per print or so.
A good buy, too, for the refurbished unit I didn't mind the blemishes on the unit, I'll bang it up soon enough. Most often, photos will need some sort of tweaking, of white balance, of color, of something. It is, and it was only $75 a steal. This little printer does fine with the basics. I did buy the re-furbished unit, since we didn't have a lot of money to spend and since I read some of the reviews that it didn't work right out of the box, I figured the refurbed units would be fine. I wanted the printer to use at some of our fundraising events, to take pictures of people with their dogs, print out a 4x6, give them the print, and go on to the next on This will work fine for that, and allow us to run this with only one person, if necessary, since the computer isn't involved.
It has some editing capabilties, not as many as I'd like, but for the price, it's just fine. I don't have high expectations for this type of printer, one that you can put a flash card in and print the photo without a computer. Battery is a huge plus. So, if you don't need anything fancy, and want something easy to use (or if you're like me and hate reading the manual) this should work just fine for you.
I am an IT professional (BSIT) and I bought this product because it is rated #1 by Consumer Reports and I own several HP printers that I really enjoy.
If this upgrade does not work I will be forced to return the printer to Amazon.
They wanted to replace the printer with a refurbished one; I refused and threatened to return it back to Amazon.
However, I had the same experience as several other reviewers of this product.
I was placed on hold and then told that I would receive a firmware upgrade via FedEx overnight.
Deeply disappointed,.
This printer simply does not work out of the box.
After trying for 1 day I gave up and called HP customer service and they diagnosed the problem as a defective chip in the printer.
