Editorial Reviews :
The HP DeskJet 5550 offers home users versatility combined with appealing modern styling. This cleanly designed inkjet printer flows smoothly from high-speed monochrome reports to exquisitely detailed family photos with minimal effort. Specially engineered paper sensors automatically adjust for various weights and surfaces, creating optimal print quality every time.
Standard resolution is an impressively clear 1,200 x 1,200 dpi, while photos receive an exceptional 4,800 x 1,200 dpi. Top print speeds are 17 pages per minute for monochrome and 12 ppm for color. Paper sizes range from letter and legal sheets to envelopes and cards; transparencies, labels, and iron-on transfers can also be processed with ease.
Upgradable options include duplex printing and network connectivity, allowing you to economize on consumables or adapt the 5550 for use in a small office. The printer is compatible with Windows and Macintosh systems, and connects via either IEEE 1284 parallel plug or USB port. Hewlett-Packard provides a one-year warranty with onsite service.
Buyer Reviews :
This is a solid little entry-level photo printer. It uses the new HP 56, 57, and 58 cartridges. It is rather low-profile, and it looks a bit like a U.F.O. It has top-of-the-line resolution (4800x1200 d.p.i.) like it's big brothers, the 7150, the 7350, and the 7550. For the price, this is a good little printer. I don't want to sound like it isn't. But, there are a few disadvantages. One, like the 7150 and 7350, it only uses two of the three cartridges at a time. The black #56 and the photo #58 cartridges must be exchanged every time one changes the type of print they are using. This can be rather cumbersome. Not impossible, but a touch annoying. The other disadvantage is no 4x6 photo tray for automatic uptake. The tray is available on the 7150 and up. Also, the text printing is top shelf. My dislike of the cartridge swapping goes for the 7150 and 7350. It only goes away on the 7550. It uses all three. Also, the text printing is top shelf. If money is an issue, this is still a fine printer. It will have the same output as its big brothers in the line. But it lacks some of their features. It is not bad all. The body of the printer is very solid. It is good if there are little hands around it. As said before, it is low profile. It feeds and ejects from the front side like most HP, which means you need little room above it. The cartridges are pretty typical. The 56 is cheaper than most other HP black cartridges, the 57 color is about the usual price. The 58 photo color is generally somewhere between 56 and 57 in price.
