Spotlight customer reviews
Excellent printer, unless you're running VISTA
[ Posted: 2007-03-29 ]
I have used this printer with a Presario XP computer. It has been flawless in photo printing, graphic output, and is a draft mode workhorse. I give it five stars for: durability, performance, and quality.
Now you should know: HP will NOT provide a VISTA printer driver. That means you CANNOT use this printer in VISTA. I have spent over one week attempting to use various HP print drivers to no avail. I have contacted HP. Their response: HP will not support this printer in VISTA - buy a new printer.
I'm taking their advice. I'm buying an EPSON.
I used to love this printer...

...until I discovered it doesn't work with Vista.
Since every other printer I have (Samsung, Sony, Epson, Kodak) works fine in Vista (I'm in the photo biz and have a lot of printers!), I can only conclude that HP is doing something "nonstandard" in its driver and if it followed the rules for writing a printer driver it would have worked.
If you think you may run Vista, do NOT buy this printer.
HP's support web site gave me the run-around....it referred me to a page that did not include information for this device.
HP 7150
[ Posted: 2004-07-11 ]
My HP 7150 prints nice photographs. The quality is very good, but I have had a lot of difficulty getting 4x6 sizes of paper to feed properly.
Also, business letters are important to me and I can't get envelopes to feed properly.
It has been frustrating not having availability of free customer service.
I will probably replace this unit with an Epson in the near future.
Great Photos
[ Posted: 2003-02-27 ]
I was new to digital photography and wanted a good quality printer without a lot of bells and whistles. I edit all my photos on my computer so I wasn't interested in printing and editing my pictures on the printer itself. You can use a usb cable and load to the printer but I don't use this feature. I have owned this printer since it first hit the shelves last year and have not had one problem with it. It is quiet and is puts out a great digital picture.
Excellant Printer
[ Posted: 2002-12-30 ]
This is my third HP and the results just keep getting better. The 7150 is stylish and well designed. The printer has a 4 x 6 photo tray that allows 20 sheets of photo paper to be loaded and printed in a batch mode directly from HP's excellant photo printing / album layout software. Even with the 20 sheets of 4 x 6 paper loaded you can still print on regular paper via a lower paper tray. Prints using the photo color cartridge are stunning. I have to say I sold my Epson 820 in no time flat and even made my Canon friend blush when he saw how incredible the prints are. As always the big advantage to HP is the quality. These printers don't jam, don't need head cleaning and don't require tweaking to get the results you see on screen.
