HP Photosmart P1100 Printer Review

Back when personal computers were still a "novelty" item in the 1980's, it was often believed that computers would usher in a new era of the paperless office. Rather than work with reams and reams of paper, we would work with the data in a digital...

Review of Compaq P1100 monitor

At $1,099 ESP, the attractively designed Compaq P1100 is certainly a lot of monitor for the price, especially with the excellent test results it produced during our benchmark tests. Brightness and contrast were excellent on the...

Hewlett Packard - PhotoSmart P1100

HP has traditionally travelled down a unique design path compared to other inkjet manufacturers. The PhotoSmart P1100 is no exception. Paper is loaded via a sheet feeder underneath the unit. The P1100 also comes supplied with ...

Older model, works well

For many years, I’ve only used a black and white laser jet printer. The yield is high, the cost per page is inexpensive. Although the initial cost of the printer is high (although some of them are now less than $100), they are cost effective if you...

Good photo quality

occasionally jams, cartridges expensive

An average photo printer

Before anything else, I have to say that I got a REFURBISHED model from eBay.

Fast, good quality full page photo printing, reads memory cards

Jams once in a while ripping the paper, lines when printing color from PC

Not So Impressed Now

I am a former owner of a Lexmark 3200 that I had bought before my Photosmart. The Lexmark was a great bargain, but print quality and cartridge pricing lead me to look elsewhere. My wife and I decided to purchase an HP Printer. I was easily ...

Accepts Memory Cards. Quiet, Fast, Two Sided Printing

Doesn't come with needed Cables. Photo Quality is bland. Single Color Cartridge

Who are you calling a dog?

At one time, this was the mother of all Text/Photo Quality Printers. Rated at 2400x1200 dpi and 12 pages per minute in black and 10 pages per minute in color, this unit gave us what we wanted from all angles. It also has a compact flash card slot and...

Great speed in draft. Duplexer. Good image quality. Revolutionary unit in it's day

Ink usage is a high. Rear paper jams

A Two-sided P1000: HP PhotoSmart P1100 Printer

With recent cost reductions and bargains on Ebay, the HP PhotoSmart P1100 is a terrific deal. If you can't find it, you can realize the same features by combining a P1000 with HP's optional duplexer.

Wonderful image quality, duplexer eliminates handling of paper to print two-sided documents

Discontinued by HP, even though its technology is the same as the currently available P1000

No more waiting in the photo line at CVS!

I remember the day I first saw and tested the P1100 like it was yesterday. My coworkers at Staples and I were setting a new store display

Great speed, quality, PRICE, and durability. HP has thought of every aspect of photo printing and put it into this printer that can even stand alone w/o a PC attachment

The price of cartridges and paper, however, it is still cheaper than having photos developed
