Hewlett Packard Photosmart C4280 Printer Review Summary

The virtual explosion of digital photography over the last five or so years has given birth to the Photo printer and as usual Hewlett Packard is the leader of the pack. And the HP Photosmart C4280 is one of the company’s most highly praised offerings, at least by our community of reviewers. The community overwhelming endorse this small Thermal Inkjet printer, with one reviewer stating, “I like the stylish look of the AIO and the fold up paper tray. The AIO can print directly from the camera memory with built in card reader.” But still another exclaimed: "It's a great piece of machinery for a reasonable price. Check it out." HP designed Photosmart C4280 to connect to just about any digital camera with input ports for USB digital memory and it offers a maximum color resolution of 4800x1200 dpi. Read what else our reviewers have to say about the HP Photosmart C4280 InkJet printer as well as other Inkjet Photo Printers.

HP Has Done it Again! Another High Quality All-In-One

The HP Photosmart C4280 All-In-One (AIO) is a nice simplified all new product.  It will work with Windows Vista, though I have Windows XP.  I could have spent $50 more and got a version with WiFi wireless networking.  However, I don't use my network that much.  It was more a technical accomplishment...

I had a HP printer before and loved it. It was a 3 in one as well. One day it broke, and so I went to get a new one. I figured I would stick with HP because I liked them. but this printer has problems everyday. When I go to put a new cartridge in, it aligns...and then the next time I go to use it I have... review »

Its a great piece of machinery for a reasonable price. check it out.

I cannot stand this HP Photosmart C4280. Thankfully it came FREE with the purchase of my desktop. I have installed the drivers several different times but it still does not recognize them. The scanner stopped working months ago, but every-time I go on-line to fix it all they have to say it "multiple drivers will cause the scanner to malfunction." I'm uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers several times, but nothing seems to work. I've even gone into the registry editor to delete the files but it STILL doesn't work! Every time I sign on to my computer it asks me to install the drivers, but I already...

Purchased this HP to go with Dell computer after spending alot of time trying to decide whether to go with another Dell printer.  However, the excessive cost of Dell ink cartridges and finding that the generic ones just weren't as good set me on a path to find a more economical printer.  I found it in the HP Photosmart.  I cannot say enough good things about it.  One of the best features is the capability of making copies.  Also scans and, as the model name implies, can do whatever I want to with photos.  I highly recommend this printer!!

I like this printer.  It prints, copies & scans.  This printer prints faster than my older Canon single usage printer.  The scans are nice and the copies come out nice.  This printer has ports to put in your memory cards from a digital camera, but it doesn't print the highest quality prints.  I bought it for convenience and faster printing - not for photo printing - and I love it!!  It was pretty cheap too.

This printer is wonderful. You can print, copy and scan. It has card slots for your camera cards (pic bridge capable). It is very quiet when printing.  The color quality is excellent. Small in size, but packs a powerful punch.  We bought this on sale, but it is well worth the full retail price.  Replacement cartriges are very reasonable and you can buy them in multi-packs.

I love this printer.  It does everything my old printer did but takes up a ton less space on my desk.  It's fast and there are plenty of different settings for printer different things.  It's very easy to use and I'm glad I chose it.
