Buy.com has the Photosmart 8250 on sale for $59 after rebate and $39 if you use Google Checkout. Google is giving merchants big breaks to use Checkout so they are passing that along to customers. Using Checkout is a bit of a pain if you don’t already have a Google email account, but it will just take you a few extra seconds and it’s probably worth the $20. There is no shipping and in most states there won’t be any tax.

The Photosmart 8250 is the still billed by HP as the “world’s fastest photo printer” even though there is probably something out there that is faster. To date, I haven’t heard any other printer company make that claim for one of their models, so I guess HP can keep saying what they want.

HP rates the 8250 at 32 ppm for black and 31 ppm for color. HP claims that it can print a 4 x 6 photo in as little as 14 seconds. The Photosmart 8250 can produce prints up to 8.5 by 24 inches so that probably makes this the least-expensive wide format printer on the market. It has all the usual connectivity options, two-sided printing, a special 4 x 6 photo paper tray for dedicated prints and a 2.5″ LCD. It is also a wide-format printer which can print up to 8.5 x 24.
