Comment: I purchased my HP 1115 printer as part of a package with a new Dell 8200 desktop computer. Currently they're available for under $200.00. This is a lot of printer for the money. If you're looking for a little less printer for a little less money or a little more printer for more money you can compare the photosmart line here. There's no reason to get wordy here. The hp 1115 does a great job turning out family prints and also handles homework papers beautifully. I highly recommend it - with an asterisk * (see end of review). Some noteworthy stats on the 1115: Up to 12 ppm black and 10 ppm color Up to 2400 x 1200 dpi color (on premium photo paper) Print directly from your camera's memory card: CompactFlash, or SmartMedia. Slide Memory Card The feature that enables you to print directly from your printer has me somewhat puzzled. You take the memory card out of your digital camera and place in the printer. The printer then asks you a number of questions via a small LCD screen about print size and paper type. What I don't understand is the value of this option. Why would you want to print an image you've only seen in thumbnail size? LCD Screen If you're going to make an enlargement shouldn't you view your image on the computer monitor first? Quality printer paper is expensive, why waste it printing images you may not like once you see them enlarged? I did appreciate one direct printing feature. You can print yourself a contact sheet, which consists of thumbnail prints of all the images on your memory card. Two Useful Links: Read the Epinion reviews on this product. Check out the pricing on this product. Two Nifty Ideas: 1) The hp printer comes with a wallet size card that holds the names of the replacement ink cartridges. If you can remember that you're actually carrying this card you can use it to pick up new ink anytime your out. 2) There is an online software update feature. Check in periodically to make sure you've got the newest drivers and such. And Two Downsides: Amazingly enough I don't have any complaints with this product. Oh sure, the ink is expensive but which printer are you going to buy that has cheap ink? * There is one other small item. As I'm writing this review the following news has hit the wires... "Hewlett-Packard, the world's biggest printer maker, is expected to announce today that it is killing off its entire multibillion-dollar line of consumer printers in favor of a completely revamped set of machines, The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday." - Jun 25 12:14 AM ET Read HP's press release here.
