An excellent little printer.......2007-01-16

I was given this printer just over a year ago and was quite sceptical about it. In fact, it has proven a great success. Simple to use, reliable, available. Even my final researvation, that the replacement paper and cartridge would be a rip-off, turned out to be unfounded. I am surprised by readers who had problems with this product. 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.

I bought the 375B at Amazon about a year ago for work done out "in the field". 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.

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. This call was easier a year ago when HP had the only true decent mini on the market).

The new versions also print 5x7, have the memory card slots labelled, and possibly also have wireless/bluetooth (my only reasons for 4 stars). The battery holds a charge for quite a while (month+), and is priceless when AC power isn't available. The combo deal with battery at Amazon beat any competitors by a long shot. 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. I think the newer models (385?) have some additional editing features.

Good quality prints take about 1 minute. The 75 photo "paper and ink" combo packs available pretty much do the trick. You may find that you actually will get about 100 photos per ink cartridge. I figured the cost to be around .25 cents per print or so.

Not Bad, Works Fine for Basic Prints.......2006-05-10

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. Most often, photos will need some sort of tweaking, of white balance, of color, of something. This little printer does fine with the basics. It has some editing capabilties, not as many as I'd like, but for the price, it's just 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. Battery is a huge plus.

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. It is, and it was only $75-- a steal.

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. A good buy, too, for the refurbished unit-- I didn't mind the blemishes on the unit, I'll bang it up soon enough.

Does not work out of the box.......2005-03-24

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. However, I had the same experience as several other reviewers of this product. 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. They wanted to replace the printer with a refurbished one; I refused and threatened to return it back to Amazon. I was placed on hold and then told that I would receive a firmware upgrade via FedEx overnight. If this upgrade does not work I will be forced to return the printer to Amazon.

Deeply disappointed,
