The HP Photosmart 7660 photo printer delivers fast convenient photo printing with or without borders. With up to 6-ink color or up to 4800-optimized dpi, it's so simple to select and save or print true-to-life photos without a PC. Simply insert your camera's memory card into a compatible slot, then use the text LCD or the HP Photo Proof Sheet to select photos to save and print! Plus, you get two built-in paper trays, making it easy to print both 4 x 6-inch and standard size prints with or without borders. With the HP Photosmart 7660, you can print everything from high-quality photos that resist fading for generations - twice generations - twice as long as traditionally-processed photos - to great everyday text!

Amazon.com Product Description

HP's PhotoSmart 7660 photo printer offers high-quality, convenient photo printing directly from your digital camera's memory card, or from your PC or Mac computer. With four built-in memory card slots, you can be guaranteed compatibility with virtually any camera--choose from CompactFlash (Type I and II) and Microdrive, SmartMedia, Memory Sticks, Secure Digital, Multi Media Card and xD-Picture Card memory cards.

You can select images for printing from thumbnails provided on the HP photo proof sheets which can be generated without hook-up to a computer. Other convenient features include a 2 line text LCD on the top panel of the printer for assisted task navigation, a one touch save-to-PC button, and a front panel USB port for plug and play connection to your laptop.

Print speeds are variable, depending on the speed/quality mode selected, and range from up to 12 ppm for black printing (Fast Draft mode) to approximately 116 seconds for a 4-by-6-inch photo print (Best mode). Print speeds can be increased with the addition of the optional HP no. 56 black print cartridge.

The PhotoSmart 7660 handles a wide range of media types and sizes, and comes with a dedicated 20-sheet 4-by-6-inch photo paper tray plus a 100-sheet standard media input tray to easily handle all your everyday printing.

Paper size errors.......2006-12-28

Prints wonderfully, but I have problems with the software. I keep getting errors specially, "Paper size errors" when everything is set up correctly and the paper is located where it has to be. I cant get rid of this error.
It also does some strange thing: it always tries to start printing from the last page. It tends to do that, when reconnected to a computer. I am not sure if it's the software or just the printer sending wrong messages (sounds like the second is the problem). My mother in law bought this printer new and she spent like 400 or 500 dollars on it. They dont produce it anymore, I wonder why that happened so fast. Dont buy this printer. I am sure there are others out there to print pictures that dont have so many issues.

Worth the $$$.......2006-09-29

I purchased this printer, not knowing exactly what I would use it for, and realized that it works great for photos. I no longer make the run to the store and open up the wallet. The cartridges last for a decent amount of time and I thoroughly enjoy the convenience.

Carriage stuck........2005-12-31

The quality of pictures is very good. However, the carriage gets stuck on the left margin and there is no solution, outside of replacement of printer. The lever to insert photo size paper is poorly designed and break easily, leaving one to hand feed paper.

This printer is Great!.......2005-11-25

This printer prints out wonderful pictures. I'm very happy with it. I have had no problems whatsoever. I think the people that had problems possibly had a bad batch. No product is perfect. But as far as I'm concerned, mine is great!!

I bought this printer with high hopes in the summer of 2004. Thought it was the best thing ever. A month later, I got the 'cartridge error' which isn't a cartridge error at all, it's a faulty cable. They sent me a free one. Same EXACT thing happened to my friend who bought the printer a couple weeks after me - sent her a new cartridge, all was well - for about a month. Still under warranty, they sent her another cable and it worked again. All was well with mine until yesterday. No longer under warranty (I think a printer should last longer than a year - my Lexmark is seven years old!) Now they want to charge me for a new cable! Over $40. This is a lemon and I am pursuing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. Search online - you'll find other EXACTLY the same complaints.
