HP PhotoSmart 325 Compact Photo Printer

I put a brand new cartridge in & the printer didnt work. The printer quality was poor at best. I was extremely disappointed considering it was labeled very good/like new condition. I would never order from this buyer again.

I have had this printer many years prior, and when my last bargain photo printer gave up the ghost I decided to return to what was best. Easy to use, excellent color and clarity, top quality for the money.

I sent this back. Heres why: The printer appeared to be like most HP printers, quality and easy to setup. Not as easy as it should have been, as the photo paper feeds from the back, and spits out the front. Additionally, things are changing at HP and while Id never own one of their laptops, Ive been brand loyal to them for their printers since the late 1980s. Their laser printers seem to last forever and Ive never had one quit on me, even after years of service. I give or sell them when I no longer need them, rather than trash/recycle them. The last one, I donated to a local charity b/c I needed a network printer. (With a family, the number of devices that need to print add up.) Ditto their ink jets and photo printers. They last forever, too. However, HP has decided that when they discontinue to produce a printer, they want to force their customers to upgrade. In our home/home office, we use both Mac Os 10.11.2 El Capitan and Windows 10 on the PCs. I couldnt obtain the drivers for either for this printer. Thats how they gotcha. You cannot upgrade the drivers so you must get another, more expensive printer, to stay current. I purchased this to upgrade my still-working, but old Photosmart 7150. That photo printer is awesome as it can print 8x10s as well as the smaller 4x6s. Sadly, there are no drivers for this printer for the 7150 either. Im keeping the Photosmart 7150 since it still works and I have one old PC I built that runs Windows 7. At least I have something that can use it. That PC has been in storage and Ive brought it back into service, specifically for that reason. Crazy, right? I do not like how HP has forced me to upgrade. I also ordered ink for it and thats going back, too. I order so much from Amazon and I dont return much, but this was a true disappointment. Lesson learned: Never buy a printer that is manufacturer discontinued. Save your money and try and buy the latest and greatest so it will last the longest. After this experience, I ordered a Polaroid photo printer from Apple. Too bad Amazon didnt have those. Another gripe on modern ink jets from many manufacturers. I have a home office. Therefore, I already own a fax, and two different types of scanners, plus a laser printer. I just needed an inkjet printer to print photos and photos only. All the photo printers on the market, it seems, are three-in-ones. Even though they are relatively inexpensive, I dont want to buy what I do not need. At our beach home, a three-in-one was perfect. Here, just plain useless. Used to, such three-in-one printers did none of the fax/scan/copy/print very well. Not so anymore. However, Id like the choice to just buy a plain old photo printer without all the add ons. I have a nice HP Laserjet networked printer in the home office. I hope I dont have to upgrade it in the near future! When purchasing any brand of ink jet printer these days, buyer beware.

Good.unit but pricey

I had nothing but trouble getting this thing to keep working.

Was not what I was looking for.

LOve Love Love this printer I take it everywhere I purchased one for mohter also. I take it to my daughters class room for school projects around the holidays they love it and are going to look into purchaseing one for the class

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.

I got this printer in December but then in January IT STOPPED WORKING! I was bummed because I was so happy with it. I tried to get it to work everyday for about a week or two then I gave up. Now in April I decided to get another one, but before I did I wanted to see if it would work one last time and guess what?! It came to life!!!! It healed itself!!! I have no idea how?! I am so happy with it!!!!!!! Its the best thing ever!!!! NO NEED FOR THE COMPUTER!!!! But if you want to edit the pictures so they come out looking great then it comes with a stellar program!!! I JUST LOVE IT!!!!

The printer does not accept all sim cards. And I have a lot of photos I wanted to print on that card!!
