HP Officejet PSC 2175

The all in one printer is becoming the peripheral of choice for most homes and offices alike. This is mainly due to the low cost of these machines and the multi functionality of having a printer, photo copier and a scanner all in one package. Not only does a multi function device such as the HP Officejet PSC 2175 provide this cost saving but it also saves on very precious desk space. Add to all this the fact that Officejet PSC 2175 is a photo quality printer and also has the ability to print photo's directly from your digital camera's memory card and you have a great little machine. You don't even have to switch the PC on to print great pictures from your digital camera. Also the photocopying function is independent from the PC and doesn't require your PC to be booted up in order for it work.

Printing

The printer can produce high quality prints in both black and colour as well as the ability to have a 4800x1200 optimised dpi when printing photo's on premium photo paper. This feature requires software and can only be used when printing from the computer. You cannot use this feature when printing directly from the memory card without the PC switch on.
