HP Photosmart A526 Snapshot Printer

The HP Photosmart A526 Snapshot Printer while noted for its simplicity may have taken that simplicity too far.  This is HP's low end dedicated printer for producing a small variety of photo sizes.

Our review team was disappointed to see that the HP Photosmart A526 Snapshot Printer struggled with printing photos that contain dark

areas and shadowy backgrounds, which is likely to be the case with many photos taken.  It does print most other photos well, though.

Reviewers did note they like the fact that the unit is small, lightweight and does print 4 X 6 photos and where desired 4 X 12 panoramic photos.
