HP PhotoSmart 245 Compact Photo Printer

Follow-up to my earlier review (not on Amazon yet): at my local Rite Aid drug store chain, I can give them my flash memory card and it’s only 21 cents per print for the whole card. If I select pictures at the photo counter, it’s only 29 cents per print. At other drug stores (Walgreens, Duane Reade) it’s only slightly cheaper, and they often offer rebates. All these stores offer quality guarantee, plus they use real professional paper.
So basically if you get the PhotoSmart 245 (or the cheaper 145 model withou the color LCD preview) you are paying a huge premium for convenience — and if my experience is any guide, you won’t actually get any conveninece because the printer jams too easily. Plus there’s the question how long the print will last before fading.
For my hard-earned money (I’m probably far less paid than most of you guys who shop on Amazon.com) I’ll stick with my local drug stores.
Of course, I’m talking from an urban-centric point of view. If you live in rural areas where getting to a digital-ready photo shop is not easy, this may make sense. Just beware of the printer jam and possible fading problems. Amen.
Pleased with the printer but disappointed that a USB cable was not provided.
I got this printer for Christmas. I have absoulutely fallen in love with it. I use it to print off my pixs from HP PS320 (also highly recommended). The print quality is great. I would recommend this to anybody. I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don’t have very much desk space for a printer and wanted something small for printing photos. I originally bought a Canon i560 but returned it because it was too big. This printer is nice and small. Doesn’t come with a USB cable and I forgot to order it when I ordered the printer (Doh!) so I had to buy one at CompUSA for $25.
Prints beautiful photos from the memory stick, and when the USB cable is attached to your computer, you can use the memory stick reader on the printer to transfer photos into your computer.
I had to reinstall the OS before I could get it to print with Mac OS 10.3: Panther. I tried loading the latest drivers from the HP website (2.3.7) and it didn’t work. Finally did a clean install of the OS and was able to get the printer to work with my Mac.
I have had this for about a year – great looking results, especially if corrected and printed from a good software package. The stickiness problem seems insurmountable. I have tried several different papers and drying times up to 3 weeks, but they will always stick to photo album transparent material (have tried several brands). I wish HP would sought this problem out – also occurs with prints from other HP printer models. Finally bought a Cannon Selphy dye-sub printer which does not have this problem.
