Author's Review
I have had excellent luck with HP printers in the past and when my last printer started acting up after several years without an issue I decided to replace it. 
After careful research the HP Photosmart Premium came out as a clear winner.  This unit prints, scans and copies and has a large touch screen to do it all with ease.
I love the fact that this printer does duplex printing automatically, it saves on paper.  I don't care for the fact that it seems to eat through ink.  I had to replace all but one of the ink cartridges (black photo) the first month.  I did replace them with the XL cartridges and I am now setup to print in fast draft by default.  This seems to be stretching out how often I will have to replace the cartridges and it is easy enough to switch back to a higher quality print job on a case by case basis.  The one feature that my older HP had and I wish that this one had is the ability to print directly on CD's.  The printer is very easy to setup and has a wired, wireless and blue-tooth options.
There are memory slots on the front of the printer where you can plug in your memory card.  This printer also has a feature where you can connect to your Snapfish account and upload pictures, and view and print pictures that have previously been uploaded to your account.
Overall I am happy with this purchase and if I had to buy another printer I would buy this one again.
