This a great little printer if you are looking for something with limited usage (it accepts 4x6 paper only).I purchased it to compliment my desk printer.I was looking for a printer I can take with me on vacation, to weddings, family gatherings, business events, etc., and this little machine fits the bill to a "T".You just take the memory card from your digital camera, (it accepts SmartMedia, CompactFlash Type I and II, and Memory Stick cards), and plug it into the printer, and away you go.When you plug in your memory card the display panel on top of the printer indicates how many photos are on the card.You can print an index page of thumbnail size proofs of all the pictures on your memory card, then selectively print just the photos you want.Optional print sizes are 4x6, Wallet (2.5x3.25), or Thumbnail (0.7x0.9).You can choose to print a single, or multiples of the same photo. You can also choose to print a range of photos (e.g. print single or multiples of index numbers 21 through 25).What a boon for taking with you on vacation!If you fill your memorycard, you can make a print of each photo when you get back to the hotel, erase the card and start over taking new pictures. When you get home you can scan the prints into your computer, with the option of making enlargements.At special events, guests can go home with a souvenir print of the event.I am very pleased with the quality of the prints and the convenience and ease of use of the printer.You will only get borderless prints if you use the HP 4x6 Premium Photo paper with the tear off tab.Other brand 4x6 papers will print with a narrow border.The printer's compact size and weight (just under 3lbs) make it extremely portable, and I like the instant gratification of a print without having to take the time to store them in the computer first, (also a great point for those who are thinking of a digital camera, but don't have a computer).The only thing I would have liked is a double power source (i.e. rechargeable battery as well as AC), but that, of course, would increase the price.There is a padded carrying case made specifically to fit this printer.It has a front zippered pocket to hold the AC adapter, a spare ink cartridge, a box of printing paper, and a pocket to store prints and/or user's manual.Overall, I am delighted with the HP100, and plan to purchase two more to give as Christmas gifts.

Product Description:
Forget having your digital photos printed by someone else. With the PhotoSmart 100 inkjet printer, you can print full-color 4-by-6-inch photos at up to 2,400 x 1,200 dpi on premium photo paper, or at lower resolutions (but still great-looking) on other papers.
Print directly from your digital camera with a CompactFlash, SmartMedia, or Sony Memory Stick memory card, or connect to your computer using the built-in USB port. HP photo imaging software is included. Printing is a bit slow, with a 4-by-6 photo requiring just under three minutes, but quality takes time.
The printer has a markedly compact design, with dimensions of only 8.8 by 4.3 by 4.7 inches, and it weighs less than three pounds, so you can take it with you when you're on the go. Sorry, Mac users, the HP 100 is only compatible with PCs: Windows 98, 2000 Professional, Me, XP Home, and XP Professional. The printer is backed by a one-year warranty, with the option to extend it to three years at additional cost.
