Works very well so far
Prints better and faster than my old HP printer. I like the low cost of the ink. The only negative so far is the size of the screen. It is only 1 inch by 1 inch making it difficult to read.

HAPPY to dump my inefficient old cartridge inkjet
Happy 100%. "Just buy" it was a review I saw when buying. I replaced an older HP cartridge ink jet that was very costly and inefficient with ink. This have been great. It was easy to set up using the mobile app - despite others reviews. While Im tech savy I just followed the app prompts. Ive used this to print duplex / double sided, color, black, photo paper and 70 holiday envelopes from a mail merge. The scan/copy is pretty fast too. Print speed is fast and Im very happy with the ink use. Im not incentived writing this besides a chance to win a gc. I think my only issue is some printer menu prompts that are easy to go and click through when printing to different paper sizes and a print spooler queue issue from my android when printing multiple docs (solved by error retry). - some learning to do for me.
