terrible printer for regular word work, November 17, 2009

I've had several HP printers in the past that have been real work horses but this one is a DOG. It's totally incompatible with Word 2007 when trying to do anything like print envelopes, custom sized papers, etc. It's also very noisey, eats ink and keeps sending me HP advertising messages. I absolutely do not recommend this printer unless all you want to do is print photos and then be ready to spend a bundle on ink.

Big Disappointment, November 8, 2009

I bought this printer to replace 2 (I bought the same one twice) HP Photosmart 8250s because after a couple of years of use they started telling me that the paper tray was empty, when it most assuredly was not. I tried all sorts of fixes, like adding more paper, deleting the job in Print Manager, tweaking Device Manager, to no avail. Other than that fatal flaw, that printer was extremely easy to use. NOT so with this one. Out of the box, the install program failed and required me to find the most recent HP Photo Gallery software and install it. Then I could reinstall the printer. The print setup is way more complicated that I am used to and must be done every time I print something. The initial print quality was awful - too yellow and too dark. I have already wasted a lot of photo paper and ink trying for something acceptable. It has required modifications to the printer controls (which took hours of experimentation) to make the changes permanent, but I am not satisfied yet. I'll probably be looking for something else, as I can't see how this one is ever going to be a winner.

Great print quality!, November 1, 2009
I am very happy with the HP Photosmart 7560! Great print quality! I purchased mainly to print directly on to CD/DVDs. I am very pleased.
Great CD/DVD printer, October 30, 2009

I was looking for an economical way to print nice colorful CDs and DVDs for a small business of mine. I had previously used the laser engraving method but was not pleased with its clarity. I researched some very expensive disc labeling machines but learned that HP had a line of Photosmart printers that would also print directly on the CD/DVD. I would agree the included software is poor if you want to vary from the designs included, but I developed a Photoshop template that works nicely. This HP D7560 it prints much faster than the laser method I was previously using (Lightscribe), DVDs look professionally made, and the only negative feature would be the amount of ink it uses. But, it's still much cheaper than the $1,500-$2,000 disc printers on the market. I would highly recommend this printer.

1. PCMag.com

After testing the HP Photosmart D7560, reviewer M. David Stone says it's a surprisingly fast and versatile home-use printer, doing good work on text and graphics and a "superb" job on photos. Another plus is an ability to print on CDs and DVDs, but the touch-screen menu is described as a bit too small.

2. ConsumerReports.org

ConsumerReports.org tests the HP Photosmart D7560 and about a dozen other regular inkjet printers. Testing is thorough for text and photo quality, but individual reviews are brief, and you'll need a subscription to read them.

3. DigitalTrends.com

DigitalTrends.com is credible, basing its reviews on decent testing. The HP Photosmart D7560 gets a score of 7.5 out of 10 as a good overall printer, but the review notes that the ink is expensive and the desktop software is a "bloated chunk of bits and bytes" that takes too long to install.

4. Amazon.com

Over 65 user reviews combine to give the HP Photosmart D7560 an excellent rating. Just a handful of users score it fewer than four out of five stars. Some have had difficulty with the software. Another notes that it's great as a photo printer, but expensive for everyday text use.
