Reviews of the HP Photosmart A826
-
CNET Review
The Good: Fast, high-quality prints; lots of fun features such as clip art and captions; per-print costs are in line with other snapshot printers' costs; touch screen is easy to use and great for displaying slide shows; menus are logically organized.
The Bad: Expensive; album options are a bit limited.
The Bottom Line: The HP Photosmart A826 snapshot printer offers an attractive design, is easy and fun to use, and works better without a PC than any other snapshot printer we've reviewed thanks to its huge touch screen, but we wonder who will spend $250 for a dedicated photo printer.

Review Summary: Your mum will love it, your kids will love it, even some smart household pets will find it meets their photo printing needs. The best postcard printer around.

Review Summary: Not the best for those who want to print directly from cams/cards. Its strong point is pre-edited images.
