I bought this printer in 2005, and I have never had a problem with it. It is a photo printer, and the photos are pretty average quality. I mostly used it for printing out all of my notes through college. It has a 5 card memory card reader, and a USB port for cameras. It needs new ink cartridges, takes HP 57 and 58. It's very compact, and the tray folds into itself so it can fit just about anywhere.
