Duration of ownership: 5 Days

Strengths: Fast, economical

Weaknesses: Photo prints

Overall Evaluation: I've been mesmerized by the number of HP printers - so much that I didn't even want to consider them. Finally, because I saw decent inital reviews of the D7160 (some reviews of which are confused in this review section with another printer), I got it. I however read some other reviews besides the vague one here at PC World which went into more depth. One lengthy review mentioned at the very end that the photo quality was disappointing and oversaturated. This is a major point to bring out in a *photo* printer; the writer treated it like a minor detail.

Strengths: easy install, fast printing, good looking, has a LCD, good price,

Weaknesses: not networking (or wireless) ready

Overall Evaluation: The install is simple and easy on windows XP. The instruction is clear. No extra steps were needed.The printing is fast compared to my old printer. The LCD and blue lights on other buttons make it very nice looking.One nice feature is that when it is off and you print something from your computer, it will automatically turn on and start printing.I bought it with a good price after rebate. I wish it were networking (or wireless) ready. However, for that, you need to spend more on other models.

Strengths: Easy to setup and use. Fast text printing. Printing photos without using computer. Nice 2.4" image display screen. Very inexpensive price.

Weaknesses: None so far

Overall Evaluation: This is a very versatile printer by Hewlett Packard. You can print regular size 8x11.5 as well as 4x6 in photos. In fact, you can print photo(s) without having to be connected to a PC. The photo quality is excellent for such an inexpensive printer plus you get to view your pictures before print on the 2.4 inch LCD pop-up screen. Document printing is fast and clear. I am extremely pleased with this purchase. It was well worth the price for such quality prints and the many features it can perform.
