I have only had this printer a month but so far I am impressed. It only takes 3 color cartridges and print outs very nice photos with people in it, nice enough to frame. The start up time is extremely fast and setup was a snap, this is a vast improvement over my faulty Canon printer that was fairly new and is now garbage due to B200 errors. So far I love this HP printer. I also love the fact that it is an eprinter so that I can email it anything and the print will be waiting for me at home! Bonus!!

Good Prints - Lack of Information

I like my new HP Photosmart 6520 all-in-one printer, but I have not been able to find enough information to use it for anything except printing letters on 8.5"x11" paper and 4"x6" or 5"x7" photos. I like to print labels on smaller than letter-size paper, notes to family and friends on smaller paper or note cards, and address envelopes. So far, the only information I have been able to find is that paper needs to be at least 4.9" long. The printing I have been able to do on my new printer has been very clean and crisp both in black & white and color. My bottom line says I would recommend this to a friend. I would like to qualify that by saying, "only if the friend is a real techie".

        I love this printer, it is fast even when in sleep mode or turned off; it boots up quickly and starts printing immediately. I also love that this is an eprinter so I can email it documents and have them ready for me when I get home from work. It also has apps that will print on schedule but that zaps ink so I don't use that feature. I have printed photos and I find the quality is great and I like that this only has 4 cartridges which saves me money. I also love that this printer has a built-in photo tray so I can immediately print photos without having to move the printer and load the photo paper like with my former Canon. Where has this printer been all of my life!!

          If you want to print out very good quality photos, this is the printer for you. It is easy to hook to your computer for wireless printing. You can be in a different room, upstairs or downstairs, and your pictures will still print. This is my first experience with a wireless printer. If I was to buy another one I would pick this model again.

          Excellent printer for the price. Very easy to use. I have not had the opportunity to use all of the features. I look forward to trying out everything.

            This printer is great to use with our many iOS
            devices via AirPrint, as well as from any of our PCs, all
            wirelessly. Set up was very simple, as long as you follow the
            simple instructions. If you have to add the printer to another PC,
            I recommend downloading the drivers from HP.com, for your OS and
            the setup is pretty easy.

            • Q:

              I currently have an HP C6300 and I have loved it! But the print head is dead.

              Thinking of getting Photosmart 6520 but have a question about the ink. I know it uses the same ink as my current printer (the 564 series) In the C6300, there are five slots for ink cartridges: black, cyan, yellow, magenta and PHOTO black. You just load them side by side and click them into place. Is this 5 cartridge system also in this new printer? How many cartridge slots are there and what colors do you put in there? Seems to me I don't see any mention of a PHOTO black cartridge with this 6520 printer. Also..... is this an easy setup?

              • A:

                There is a retractable output tray extender located about the paper bin. Look directly beneath control console for a small recess on top of the paper tray. Place your fingers in the recess and gently pull. This tray extender is intended to catch the printed pages and should fully extended when you are printing.
