Reviews Summary:
The summary is based on testimonials of the HP Photosmart 7550 users and editors in various sources such as PC Magazine, Cnet, PCWorld etc.

Good print quality with all forms of output -photos, text and graphics -rivals even the newest generation of photo inkjets at similar prices. Though it still can't quite match the esteemed Canon S900 for overall excellence, particularly on print speeds, the Photosmart 7550 is nevertheless a great choice for grade-A photos and B+ text and graphics as long as you're not in a hurry. The pictures resist fading.

Pros
  • Front-panel color preview LCD screen is handy
  • Easy ink cartridge changing

Cons
  • It is relatively slow for an inkjet printer
  • The small LCD preview screen is difficult to see
