HP - OfficeJet Pro 8125e Wireless AI-Enabled AiO Inkjet Printer w/ 3 Months of Instant Ink - White

I think it a bit premature to rate this printer after only a few weeks, let me say that setting it up was simple, loading the ink cartridges was a bit of a test due to substandard directions and a manual load tray, however the printer functions quite well and the quality is quite good. My only minor complaint is the finish paper tray that won’t hold the entire sheet of paper like my old HP printer, but I can live with that annoyance.

I ordered this printer as a more affordable option with the most features I need for home use and starting a small business, and so far it has met my needs well. Mine came with three free ink refills. However, I don't like that they require you to complete the whole registration process using a credit card. The price was reasonable, and the three~month trial gives me ample time to determine my monthly printing needs, which is great. This printer is a larger size compared to my last printer, so keep that in mind if you're replacing yours as well. The setup is supposed to be easy with QR codes, but it took me a few hours. It’s recommended to set up the printer via Wi-Fi rather than a direct plug-in. I had to go into my router settings to switch from the 5GHz band to the 2.4GHz band so that the printer and my phone app could connect. I'm using an older Google Pixel phone, and I it finally worked afte several times and troubleshoot a few other issues. For instance, the setup process tries to push you to sign up for or join the ink refill program, and you have to find a workaround to bypass or decline it. Scroll down you will want to just cancel but read it unlike me. Another issue could be my Wi-Fi being slow; each new menu item during the setup took almost a minute to load, which made it seem like it had locked up. I lowered my internet speeds because I didn't need so much bandwidth. so it may be a weak single, but be sure to check that out right away or check for same issue in other reviews.I may find out if this resolves once I plug it in directly (I still need to get the cord). If your Wi-Fi is as slow as mine, you might need to consider returning the printer. The plastic tray feels a bit flimsy, but the rest of the printer is of good quality. I love the touchscreen options (just not the lag in them), and the colors and print quality are excellent. Maintenance is also much easier with the touchscreen interface. I gave it four stars due to the initial setup issues, the push to order ink, and the waiver requirement for the ink refill. The slowness of the touchscreen options and the flimsy tray also contributed to this rating. Overall, despite these drawbacks, this printer offers great value for home or small business use.

Printer works really well and easy to connect and navigate

I’ve been using the HP OfficeJet Pro 8125e for a few days, and it has exceeded my expectations. Setup was super easy, especially with the HP Smart app. It connected to my Wi-Fi without any issues and has been working flawlessly since. Perfect having the Instant Ink.

I absolutely love this printer. Easy set up. It prints, scans and copies quick and perfectly every time. It’s truly my favorite home printer I’ve ever owned. I run a small business I have owned 20 over the years.
