Very good prints at reasonable price May 28, 2008
I bought this printer used for $90. Set up via Ethernet was relatively easy, although I haven't been able to get USB to work. I've printed on HP Premium Plus Soft Gloss, and the quality is very very good. Color rendition could be better, but allowing CS3 to control color helps.
I've also printed on an Epson 3800 and 7800, and this printer is not far off in terms of quality prints - with the exception of deep blue skies. The HP 8750 does not handle extensive areas of deep blue sky well (golden hour at Sunrise/Sunset). The subtle tonal variations tend to get lost.
Supplies (consumables such as 3 ink catridges and 25 sheets of premium paper) run about $140 for 30 8x10 prints. That averages to $4.50 per 8x10 print . . . ouch, but not much worse than other photo prints. The standard cartridges for photos are HP Photo Blue (101), HP Tri-color (97), and HP Photo Grey (102). There are different cartridges available for special printing, such as sepia or colored line drawings.
I've called HP for customer support. The first person hung up on me after realizing they could not fix the problem. The second person was much more helpful. I've heard some people describe HP support as a "mine field", but you can get quality technical support if you are dilligent.
I like this printer alot. I will use it for art school homework, but probably not for my fine art prints that I intend to hang - like I said, color rendition can be very very good, but for certain colors is not consistent.
 TERRIBLE TECHNICAL SUPPORT STAFF March 27, 2008
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
I will NEVER buy another HP product again....be it a printer, computer or whatever. The main reason is HP has arguably the worst technical support staff. On two separate occasions, I had problems with my HP Photosmart printer so I called HP's techical support. They ask you the perfunctory questions and try to sound all polite and concerned and everything but then the inevitable always happens--they recommend you to buy an ugraded HP printer! They don't even bother trying to help you fix the printer that you already have. Well, after I spoke to technical support, I contacted a buddy of mine who knows a lot more about computers than I do. Needless to say he fixed my printer, which wasn't that big of a problem, unlike HP's technical support. The problems? 1) I was having difficulty with the cradle inside the printer going back and forth. It was stuck. 2) After I bought a new laptop computer that came with Microsoft Vista, I had difficulty hooking up my HP printer with my new computer. In conclusion, I strongly discourage anyone to buy anything from HP until their technical support staff stops acting like salespeople instead.
 HP 8750 Review February 6, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Not what I was hoping for...upgraded from a CP1700....Oooops.
This thing eats ink, is ridiculously slow, prints faded images (with no insight from tech support) and consistanly pulls multiple pages.
Oh but it looks nice. No more HP's for this kid...

The HP 8750 prints B&W and Color beautifully. It took some time to figure out the right printer preference settings. I did not having experience with color management settings so for awhile my prints were coming out way too dark. Once the settings were correct between my Corel Paint Shop Pro X software and 8750 printer life was good. I am still amazed that the engineers at HP can't get the paper to feed through perfectly aligned every time, not that it's off that much. Overall the printer turns out awesome 13x19 prints which are much more impressive than 8.5x11, and has taken my photos to a professionally looking level.
