Summary: Fabulous Printer!
Comment: This is the easiest printer to install that I have ever owned. The instructions were very clear and straightforward. The printer is fast and the print quality is excellent, especially the photographs.
The only "down side" (if you can even call it that) is it can be a bit noisy, especially during startup. However, it is a fair tradeoff for the speed and quality of the printing.
I heartily recommend this all-in-one printer!

Summary: And Then I Saw Her Face... Now I'm a Believer!
Comment: I've long just assumed Canon was the brand for anything photo-related-- cameras, paper, ink, and printers. I owned HPs years ago, before digital cameras were any good, and I hadn't bothered to try them out again to see how they might have improved. I was happy with my Canon photo printers, so when my old one recently died, I bought a new Canon Pixma MP620, one of their latest-and-greatest all-in-one printers. As far as features go, it's pretty close to this HP model.
I installed the HP Photosmart Premium in about half an hour. Most of that time was spent just sitting and waiting for the printer to do whatever it does during installation-- there was nothing difficult about it except that there was no USB cable included. (Hey, there are still some of us backward people out here who don't have wireless/Ethernet connections.)
To be clear, I don't care about the fancypants features. I don't print pictures from my phone, I don't have any need for wireless printing, etc. The touch screen is a nice feature for sure, but what I care about is print quality, period. I take lots of photos and I want them to print out as well as possible.
So I did a comparative test. I printed out a family portrait on my Canon Pixma, and then the same one on my new HP Photosmart Premium. And I literally had to do a double-take: the HP one was crisper and clearer. I particularly noticed the difference in the faces: facial shading was more accurate and eyes were better defined.
The HP photo paper included is thinner than the standard Canon paper, which I don't like, but it obviously had no negative effect on quality.
I wish this also included fax capability.
Both photo paper and regular paper load into the front in two separate trays, so you can keep each stocked. A very minor complaint is that I would have liked a slider/guide in front of the paper as well as side to side, to stop paper from sliding forward. I got an error message saying no paper was loaded just because it wasn't pushed back far enough, which would not have happened if there was a guide in place.
But like I said, that's a very minor complaint. I'm very impressed.

Summary: Excellent Printer at an excellent price
Comment: I am very happy with this printer. I've had it just one week, but use it many times each day. I saw this same printer this weekend on sale at OfficeMax for $229. Just some things I noticed which may or may not be of concern.
1. Very few printed instructions. You need to access the HP Solutions Center, which is copied to your PC from the provided CDRom. It took me awhile to figure out how to scan, and that just pressing the scan button on the printer doesn't do it. (You need to access Scan menu within HP Solutions Center, from there you see the scan appear on your PC screen, and can crop etc).
2. Somewhat noisy -- the act of printing itself isn't too bad, but there is a crunching sound before and after it prints which I assume is the printer heads adjusting themselves. I thought I forgot to remove some packing but it is just the way it is.
3. Wireless setup -- was pretty easy - but an error of can't find serscan.sys file. Seems this is common based on related online inquiries, and you need to copy it from your Windows CDRom. I didn't have them. It may also be buried within your Windows System folder, so I searched online awhile, and downloaded the file to the proper directory to work.
Hopefully these are all the concerns I'll have. The test print of the provided photo had amazing color and crispness. Went out and bought 100 pack of HP Photo Plus paper 4" x 6" -- runs about $23 full retail.

Summary: Amazing Printer
Comment: This printer is amazing. It redefines what a printer should be. The touch screen is perfect. The touchscreen interface allows you to do all of the things you would ever want a printer to do and a few things you probably didn't expect it to. This is by far the most fun I have ever had with a printer. The prints are perfect. The scanning is exceptional. The viewing/printing of photos from and SD card is actually FUN! If you are considering a home printer, this is the one to have. I have a PS3, HD LCD TV, Ext HD, and HP PC all in my home media center. This printer is a perfect match. It looks really nice, and works even better. I can't imagine many improvements possible on this machine, as it is as good as a printer could be. I am sure I will own this particular model for a very long time to come.
The easiest aspect is printing from my iPhone. I never thought it would ever really be that simple. As long as I am on my WiFi at home, I can go to the HP iPrint App, select my picture from my folders, and hit Print. It really is that simple, even the first time. It will auto print 4x6 borderless photos. (The photo paper is stored in a second tray - awesome!) It takes about 3 second from hitting Print on the iPhone until the printer starts printing the photo. About 10 seconds later the photo is printed. Wow.
You will not be disappointed.
