👍👍It's different. It is lightweight compared to many printers. Love the cartridge free concept; however, it is important to realize you're never cartridge free. There are two inner purple & black cartridges that are required. Smart print idea is great. Printer works great. I must have been blinded by the refillable ink that I overlooked that it still needs 2 cartridges. Vast improvement to the "cartridge" pain in the rear that we'd been using. If you print a lot & often, choose the upgraded version. This works perfectly for home use. I was sick of $200 cartridge refills. This is easier to use, clean, setup, ect. 👍👍 Read more
Bought this printer new a year ago in January '25. Love it. Use it for ordinary home/small home office printing, and its reliable, trouble-free, and best of all holds a TON of ink in the black and colored reservoirs. And it uses that ink sparingly, apparently. After using the printer for 13 months now, the original black-ink reservoir is still 2/3 full! The three colored reservoirs are still 4/5 full. Unbelievable. After years of maddeningly expensive HP and off-brand printer ink cartridges for other printer models, this one just rocks. I thank HP for creating a truly user-friendly, non-ripoff ink supply system. I'd buy another in a second, and highly recommend this printer to anyone. (Our prior years' HP Deskjet printers were all reliable as well, but their ink-supply arrangement was terrible.) Read more
Trying to keep this simple but this is just not a good printer. The good: not much. The plastic used and construction are cheap. Feels flimsy. Trying to install the print heads is simply a pain. You have to use a flashlight to try to see where to install both cartridges, then you have to somehow hold these cartridges while making your hand flatter then a sheet of paper to fit them into a space designed not to allow your hand to fit into while praying you don’t break the flimsy plastic. The print quality was really good…for a few prints until a paper jam screwed up the whole printer. It took two sheets of standard paper instead of one and all of a sudden an error message, on the very tiny screen, keeps saying to reinstall the specified print head cartridge, but it doesn’t say or specify which one. So, reinstalled both and it refuses to print. Now it says the print head cartridges need replacing- after less than 20 prints. HP engineered this thing to be very hard to install and set up, very hard to install the print heads cartridges, very unusable, and their software requirements are the most invasive I have ever seen. You seem to have more privacy rights with malware than with the HP software. It runs only on a wireless setting, so no printer cable connection allowed. Setting up the wifi is very tricky and can only be set up on a 2.4 ghz wifi system. So, if you don’t know if your system has a 2.4 or is a 5 ghz system, might want to check that out before buying this. Many routers have both, but you need to know how to set those up, which brings the ease of use into question. This isn’t made for someone who doesn’t have the knowledge base to troubleshoot whether or not their router supports a 2.4 ghz or 5 GHz, or has dual bands in which to connect to, just something to think about. If you are asking yourself what a 2.4 or 5 GHz router is, ask yourself why should you have to bother with router settings in order to print a picture of your dog. Next, if you decide to buy this, be sure to set the WiFi up correctly from the get-go. When I set this up it identified my router in the settings, so I connected it. Unfortunately it defaulted to 5ghz and therefore would not connect to my computer. After having to troubleshoot, I found the HP site of no use, so off to Google I went. Came across a site saying it has to be a 2.4 connection so I tried setting it up on my 2.4 but it still wouldn’t connect. Long story short- took 30 minutes to reset the entire printer, remove the printer from the computer, reinstall the printer, and finally got it to work. So complicated. It does have some good features though, but not many. The fact that it has the ink bottles is good, and they are not difficult to fill so that part HP did right. One other thing that is perhaps the most fantastic part of the printer is…This is the only printer I have seen with handles on the plastic wrapping it comes shipped in so getting it out of the box is very easy. However, keep in mind you will need to keep this plastic wrapping and box….because you will probably have to send it back like I am doing. Read more
Let me address a few of the complaints others had in their poor reviews. 1. The printer seems cheap and flimsy. [No, it’s your typical inkjet quality printer in this price range. Great for home use. Maybe not great for public/commercial use.] 2. There’s no paper tray. [Correct, there’s a rear, angled, paper “rack”, which is very typical for this style printer. This isn’t a $4000 laser printer from 1997.] 3. You have to insert two print heads. [Yeah, so what. They are as easy to install as an ink cartridge. They easily snap into place. You do it once, and you’re done.] 4. It’s complicated to set up. [Actually, the instructions were so easy to follow I was shocked. I expected at least one or two issues, but they never materialized.] So…I’ve used it for a few days, and so far, it’s exactly what I expected. I’ve owned various printers over the last 40 years. I buy one and use it until it dies. This is a standard quality inkjet printer, and my first “ink tank” printer, which is pretty cool, and hopefully will save me money. From experience, I expect this to last 3-7 years. We’ll see. Read more
Double-sided printing is a mess if you're doing multiple print-outs. A little ways into the printing, it just skips a page for no reason. Then it stops cold and tells me my ink cartidge needs a refill or needs to be reinstalled. I don't even have an ink cartridge! For some reason, the print heads loosen up and need to be reinstalled, but the print-head cartridge carrier just slides back and forth like one of those boardwalk or midway shooting games, defying you as you try to access it. I don't do a lot of print jobs, but when I do, I want a reliable printer. A 4-page double-sided file shouldn't take up half a ream after stopping four or five times for some prissy demand that can't be met. Read more
This printer my old HP All-in One and has evrything I need. I love the the new ink tank for ink replacement. They are now cheaper to refill than the old catridges. Print quality is almost as good as my old HP, but a little slower to print. Faxing is good, and scanning is easy like the old one was. I have mixed feelings about the exterior paper holder, but it makes it easy to see how much paper you have left to use. Read more
