Key Advantages

The HP PhotoSmart 7660 offers high-quality color prints ideal for photos and graphics with its advanced print resolution up to 4800 x 1200 dpi. It features separate ink cartridges, enabling individual cartridge replacement and reducing ink wastage. The printer provides flexible media handling including various sizes and types, such as glossy photo paper and envelopes. Its USB 2.0 interface ensures reliable and fast connectivity for quick job processing. The device supports borderless printing enhancing photo presentation without margins. Additionally, the straightforward operation and widely supported software increase user convenience and compatibility across operating systems.

Limitations

The PhotoSmart 7660 does not include network connectivity options, limiting usage to direct USB connections only. The print speed is relatively slow compared to modern printers, especially for high-resolution photo prints. It lacks scanning, copying, or fax capabilities present in multifunction devices, which limits its versatility. The paper tray capacity is modest, potentially requiring frequent reloads for high-volume printing tasks. The printer consumes a notable amount of ink for photo printing, which increases operational costs over time. Moreover, driver and software support for recent operating systems might be limited due to its discontinued status.
