HP Photosmart 470 Printer

The HP Photosmart 470 Printer has held up much better than my other photo printer. While the pictures it prints aren’t quite as excellent as what the Kodak photo printer is capable of producing, it is still nothing to sneeze at. If anything, I blame the photo paper (HP premium) more than I do the printer.
The photo printer is very easy to install (if you’re using Windows Vista no messy installation is required – simply hook up the printer and your computer will automatically download, install and configure the appropriate drivers) and very easy to use. It accepts input via a USB connection a computer or a memory card. One dislike I do have, and this may just be my own quirk due to me being spoiled by the Kodak photo printer – I wish I could sit my HP camera right on the printer and transfer and print photos that way, and charge the camera as well. But oh well – you can’t have everything!
