Review: Perfect replacement photo printer - I had this exact printer and I loved it but apparently used it too much and I needed a replacement. The printer arrived earlier than expected and the packaging made it arrive safe and sound. I plugged it in and used it soon after it arrived and it worked exactly as I was used to. Thanks
Review: HP COMPACT PHOTO PRINTER - THE HP PHOTO PRINTER WAS NOTHING BUT A PIECE OF JUNK! A VERY PRICIE PIECE OF JUNK. IT DID NOT WORK AT ALL. THE COLOR WAS AS IF THE INK WAS NEARLY EMPTY NOT NEW. I HAVE ANOTHER ONE THAT I BOUGHT SEVERAL YEARS AGO THAT STILL WORKS & WAS TRYING TO GET A REPLACEMENT BEFORE IT QUIT . DIDN'T HAPPEN . I WILL KNOW BETTER ANOTHER TIME. I HAVEN'T HAD VERY GOOD LUCK AT ALL WITH ANYTHING THAT I HAVE BOUGHT ON ANAZON.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will sdhc memory card work with this printer?**
A: I think it will, there are slots on the printer, it will either say where the memory card slot is or just try putting the memory card in, don't force it

**Q: Can this print on normal stock paper?  Im trying to find a good printer for shipping labels.  Thank you for your help 🙂**
A: This printer was intended to be used for photos.  You can also print on index cards, L-size cards, or Hagaki cards.  The manual says "Use plain paper, such as index cards, only for drafts or when print quality is not important."   Here is the user guide for more information: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01067564  I would recommend looking at an HP inkjet printer, i.e. HP Envy Photo or Officejet/Officejet Pro printers that would be able to print on labels made for inkjet printers.

**Q: Does this print multiple sizes?**
A: This Printer Prints 4x6 & 5x7. It Should Be Noted That The Viewing Screen is Built Into The Printer and Does NotRetract. 99 0/0 Of HP Printer Screens Retract. This looks Like A Kids Toy. You May want To Check Other HPCompact Photo Printers. A626,A627,A636,A637,A646, Or Even The A826 (Photo Shop). You can Crop,Make Greeting Cards And So Many Other Things.

**Q: what sixe cartridge does it take ?**
A: I use # 110 tri- color hp ink cartridge.
