The ISO speed standard says timings can be measured from the start of the paper moving from the input tray, which excludes preparation time. During our tests, it took 79 seconds before starting to print one five-page text document. It can take a long while for a print job to start, as the printer checks itself and primes its engine.

The biggest snag with the working of the Photosmart Plus B209a is the same as with the Photosmart Wireless. This can be awkward if you’ve bought the machine because you have space restrictions on your desk. The printer can be connected via USB or Ethernet, but also offers wireless connection, though you have to connect temporarily via USB (a cable is supplied) to set up the link. In addition there is the usual mix of HP utilities, including Solution Center, and a copy of Windows Live Photo Gallery. The cartridges, which look oddly similar to Canon consumables, clip into the print head and the machine then completes an alignment page, which has to be scanned back in, before the first prints can be made.ĭrivers are provided for Windows and OS X and Linux alternatives using the CUPS protocol can be downloaded from the HP site. This is a four-colour printer, which can take either standard or XL cartridges in the CMYK inks. Pages feed out to the top of the paper trays, though you have to extend a support and paper stop, considerably increasing the overall footprint of the Photosmart Plus. The photo tray automatically powers into the printer when you select to print on this media. There are two paper trays integrated into the front of the machine, a 150-sheet one for plain paper up to A4 size and another for up to 20 sheets of photo paper. There’s also a PictBridge socket that will also read USB drives. Its position makes the screen very easy to use, as does the sensitivity of the panel itself.īelow the control panel are two memory card slots, which between them can take SD, MemoryStick and xD cards. Like its stablemates, the Plus is decked out in textured and high gloss black and has a raised panel sticking up in front of the flatbed scanner lid, which contains a 61mm touchscreen with dedicated touch buttons down either side. It’s designed as a home machine, with a leaning towards photo print. There are three Photosmart all-in-ones in HP’s range: the Photosmart, the Photosmart Wireless and the Photosmart Plus, which sits in the middle and is the subject of this review.
