all photo printers

I have to tell you that this little printer is totally impressive for such a low price. Only minor complaint is no USB cable, but I happen to have a spare. Minor bugs to sort out at first and one call to HP tech help and they answered the phone on the first ring everything has been really perfect. Far better than the Epson C80, more reliable fairly fast printing and the ink won't break you as I get about 300 full printed pages of word documents from a black cartridge for under $20.00 bucks in perfect form. I highly suggest this little simple HP printer big time for everyday printing, and the few color PICS I've made there not bad either. No question this was worth every cent paid hands down! I've had at least six other printers that all costs more but didn't show me the kind of product results this little machine dose, don't be fooled thinking its junk because the HP people have figured it out.

This is an excellent printer for those who don't print a lot. It will print documents at a very reasonable speed, and wonderful photos on 4x6 tabbed paper. The hardware has proven to be pretty reliable, as this new printer is based on HP's older Deskjet 3500 series.

The software has been improved greatly over last year's products. There is now a much lower chance of problems with installation. The extra software that's included isn't too large, so this printer is good for PC's close to the minimum requirements.

If you print more than 100 pages a month, or if you have a business, I'd recommend the Deskjet 6540 instead, as the ink costs half as much. Due to the higher ink cost, the 3745 is a good choice only if you don't print a lot. Otherwise, it is an excellent printer for home use.
