Phantom Paper Jam can cost extra 
2005-12-24
I have had the 325 model for less than a year. Up until recently I was satisfied with its performance using it to print less than 5 pictures at a time. Recently, I needed to print a series of pictures (more than 10 in one sitting) and had an error message-print cartridge jam-I fixed the paper jam but continued to get the error message. I called HP and they stated this was a fatal error in the unit and encouraged me to purchase the updated model rather than fix my printer. I searched the internet for a solution only to find that others had encountered this and the solution was to purchase the "new'model- A not very cost effective solution as this was not supposted to be a disposable model.
An excellent portable photo printer that does the job, and is very easy to use 
2005-11-14
I have owned the hp photosmart,325 ,for two months now. The machine is easy to use,compact,and portable. The battery is not included,!!nor is the printer cable.!!!the unit works well and i highly recommend it.!!!Please note if the printer cable and battery,had been inclued with this package!!!,I would have given this a 5 star rating.
Regional Coding 2005-10-22
I cannot recommend HP to anybody anymore. The company introduced regional coding, which means printer cartridges from one region cannot be used in another. For most this is probably not an issue, for those busily traveling around it is. Also, it is an issue of principle, its bad enough for DVD, but printer cartridges? HP has introduced this rather secretely and if you don't read the box cover etc very carefully, you may not notice. The main issue is in Europe. I got caught out. I bought a 3 catridges overseas - I could not use them on my HP printer. I asked for a refund, HP Email Support (US) was nice but ineffective. HP Customer Support (Europe) was snotty and very rude. I think HP does not care about its customers and this cost me over US$75, almost 50% of my printer (my sixth and last HP). Don't buy HP.
not bad 2005-09-14
its not bad, probably would be better if i had a better camera taking pictures!
Great Pictures, in a Easy to use Format 2005-09-03
My Husband was quite pleased with this photo printer as his birthday present. And I might add he is not easily pleased with gifts. The picture quality is excellant for its price, and was very easy to use. The only thing I was disapointed in was the fact that it did not come with the battery to make it more portable. I thought it was included in the package. I guess at that price that's what you get.
Cannot install.. tried everything... 2007-12-30
The bundled install disk was corrupted. There was not a single scratch on the disk but my computer, and a few friends, could not read the disk. HP said to just download and install the drivers off their website. This does not work either. After downloading and running the most up to date drivers I get an error every time saying at least one file could not be found. The software then rolls back and forces me to restart. There is no "restart later" or "cancel" buttons after or during the installation. I just have to wait till it screws up (or end the process in the task manager). Windows cannot install the printer either, it's just error after error. I've tried everything including manually installing the drivers that were unpacked by the drivers off the website and it's still missing files. I can't even review the products actual use because I can't get the damn thing to work. I've even paid someone to come over and try to install it but they run into the same problems. HP's software is horrible and their support hasn't helped me at all.
Great Printer and Great Price 
2007-01-14
What can you say? Pull it from the box, put in the cartridge, pop in a memory card, and print great photos... Can't be easier than that...
I probably printed for weeks before I even loaded the PC software on my laptop so I can print from my computer... I love this little thing...
great printer 2006-02-25
affordable printer that prints a very good quality shot. i have particularly enjoyed working with black and white cartridges. a good buy indeed
Good Printer 2006-01-31
I got this printer not too long ago, and it has preformed pretty well so far. The pictures are good and it does not use too much ink, or so it appears. Again, the pictures are good quality, but they do take some time to dry. This might be because of the photo paper. I would suggest buying a usb cable as one is not included with the package. All in all, the cheap price and good pictures makes this a good photo printer.
Nice design... but the photo quality is strongly lacking 
2006-01-19
I was strongly considering buying this printer - until I saw my friend's prints she made with it.
I'm usually a fan of HP but I really feel they took a step backwards with the photosmart series. The only real drawback to this printer is the fact that it only uses a tri-color cartridge. Yup, there is only cyan, magenta, and yellow. No black! The way this printer makes black (or shades of grey for that matter) is by combining all 3 colors to form a composite black.
This causes the prints to seem washed out and lacking dark contrast (not to mention using a large amount of ink). If you have any sort of darkness, shading, or greys in there, they will be represented poorly. Don't believe me? Go to a local store, ask to see the examples, and compare it to other printers.
