Best understood as a home printer with a surprising number of office-centric features, the HP Photosmart 7520 e-All-in-One ($199.99 direct) can serve nicely as a home printer, home office printer, or both.

This striking-looking, photo-optimized AIO churns out great-looking photographs, but at an exceedingly high cost per page. Overall, though, it's a strong-performing printer, best for light duty.

Prints great-looking photos; Reasonably fast; Unusually attractive chassis; Easy to set up and use

A little pricey; Very high cost per page; No Ethernet support

With its peculiar combination of turrets and platforms, the HP Photosmart 7520 e-All-in-One multifunction inkjet printer looks more like a 60s modernist house than an MFP. That's not to say it isn't attractive, but its styling is certainly somewhat unconventional – as you'll know if you're familiar...

The best features of HP's $249 Photosmart 7520 e-All-in-One multifunction inkjet printer (MFP) may be its output quality and the 4.33-inch LCD control panel that makes this machine marvelously easy to use.

This printer is an extremely high end, high quality printer at a very low price. It is easy to set up and has awesome features. The quality is second to none and is twice as fast as the HP printer from 5 years ago that I replaced. I highly recommend it.

Awesome price with extremely high quality

I like this printer as uses less ink, smaller footprint, larger paper tray, eprint, and wireless. I also like the usb and sd connections on front, but had to add a cable to the pc for it to be seen.

Efficient; Quality Construction; Reliable

Difficult To Set Up

We have had this new printer for about a month now. Have read many reviews about how much ink it uses. This is true. But .... there is a way to work around this. Click on the icon on your computer (we have Windows 7), there you can go to the "settings" and change them.

I originally ordered the PhotoSmart 6520, and it wouldn't let me print on custom size paper, which I need to do for my art business. So I talked to the support folks, and they convinced me that the 7520 would do the job. So I exchanged printers, for a slight cost (they were very nice!

This printers connectivity with my mac book pro is just awful. Every time I want to print something I have to unplug the printer and plug it back in to reestablish the wireless connection.
