HP Photosmart A526 Compact Photo Printer

This printer is ok if you are printing photos with light backgrounds, but if the background in the photo is dark the printer makes it darker. Seems to darken everything up, and there is no way to adjust the brightness that I can see. The instructions that it comes with are not great, and I found little support for it online. I do like that its compact and easy to use, just wish the photo quality was a little bit better.

I just got this printer yesterday, and I cant get it to work. The red light wont stop flashing. HELP plz.... TIA Diane

I bought this printer & gave it for a Christmas package. I tried to use it before I gave it away & it did a good job of printing pictures.

Had mine for several years now. Its quick and the pictures are nice. Ink is expensive if you go to the store but online isnt bad. I wouldnt spend 200 on it but its nice if you can get a good deal.

Just bought this on sale and am pleased with the quality of the prints. I had a kodak printer in the past and had planned on buying another to replace my broken one but couldnt beat the price I found this for. However, I agree with the person who said they could have included the wire to connect it to a PC. But when I need a quick picture printed it comes in handy. I AM having problems using a thumb drive with it but am not sure if its the thumb drive itself or the printer.

I had this exact printer and I loved it but apparently used it too much and I needed a replacement. The printer arrived earlier than expected and the packaging made it arrive safe and sound. I plugged it in and used it soon after it arrived and it worked exactly as I was used to. Thanks

It worked when I got it, but no more. The timing tape inside the mechanism needs to be cleaned, but the unit doesnt come apart. Something you need to know about HP, after the warranty expires you are on your own. They wont even answer a simple email question.

Works well, easy to use, good quality prints. I have 2 of these and recommend- one at home and one at office.

The photo clarity is very good. It is also light and easy to carry. I feel that they could put a full cartridge in the package and also the cable to connect to the computer. It does a good job and I would buy it again.

Very Happy with the Service & product.
