HP Photosmart 475 Compact Photo Printer - printer - color - ink-jet

Handy remote control; built-in 1.5GB hard drive; connects directly to cameras, digital media, and (optionally) Bluetooth devices; compact; easy to operate; Mac and Windows compatible.

Color cast in neutrals; image artifacts.

The HP Photosmart 475 is a portable snapshot printer with sufficient useful features to distract from its ho-hum quality.

HP Photosmart 475 review

It has card slots and PictBridge for computer-free printing, a built-in colour LCD and 1.5GB internal storage.

Pricey if you go for all the gadgets but so cute.

HP Photosmart 475

HP's £199 Photosmart 475 delivers easy printing and picture storage on the go, and several unique features make it more flexible than its sibling, the Photosmart 375, and rival portable printers. Print quality doesn't match a lot of the competition,...

If the image quality were better, we wouldn't hesitate to offer the Photosmart 475 a Gold award. It's attractive and fully functional, and had some interesting features that are sure to come to the attention of the competition.

HP Photosmart 475

The HP 475 is quite a clever portable inkjet printer ideal for those fond of 4x6- or 5x7-inch prints. No computer is necessary - just lots of patience.

Simple to set up and operate ; Wide variety of connectivity options ; Hard drive storage option ; Good quality prints ; Mac and Windows compatible

Disappointingly slow print speed ; Finding images through the menu system can be time consuming ; Remote can be temperamental

Similarly, we did not store a large number of images to the hard drive, but suspect that if there were several hundred photos coded only by the key word Family or Vacation, drilling down to the exact image you want may be quite a pain, as you would...
