HP - OfficeJet Pro 9135 Wireless All-in-One Inkjet Printer, Scanner, Copier, AI-Enabled with 3 Months of Instant Ink - Cement

This replaces my HP8620 Inkjet Printer that served me well for 11 years. Yes, 11 years! I did extensive research on printers and kept coming back to the 9135. The design of the 9135 is more contemporary than my 8620, and it prints well so far. Extremely easy to connect to my MacBook Pro. I needed support to connect with my wife’s very new Windows laptop. Took a while, but support got me there. And don’t be fooled by label that says Office Jet Pro 9130 in big bold letters. Even the Best Buy manager thought the wrong machine was in the box and sent it to the back room for return. In much smaller font below, we both missed the word “Series” that HP Support ultimately pointed out to me - and I went back to purchase the 9135.

The printer itself works fine when the HP Smart software can find the device. Unfortunately, the software is very buggy, requiring multiple restarts before the wifi is consistently recognized. Frequently it will find the device for 30 seconds then disconnect even though the printers Wi-Fi indicator is solid blue and the Wi-Fi signal itself is uninterrupted and shutting full strength on the laptop. The display on the printer device shows a full connection as well. When the software can't find the printer via wifi, scanning is nearly impossible. This applies to both HP Smart and the new HP app. Lastly, when you try to save a recently scanned document the save Window pops up to the far right, hanging off the screen. The cancel button is hidden and therefore unavailable. That little window is not draggable to the center of the screen. Highly annoying and barely functional.

This printer is great! Easy set up- prints great quality and fast!

I was looking for a new HP printer to replace my existing model OfficeJet Pro 9015 wireless printer and decided to order the HP OfficeJet Pro 9135 Wireless AI-Enabled All-in-One Inkjet printer. I liked that the newest model was loaded with more apps and the HP AI program that can remove unwanted images, ads, or other information from your email it that is what you are printing. I was impressed with this new option since in the many years since I purchased the prior HP model this was a great improvement. I was able to unbox the printer and set it up rather quickly since HP provides clear instructions to set it up along with the programs you can download to your laptop or phone if desired. I knew the issue that would take the most time was setting up the network and then installing the ink cartridges and allowing the machine to calibrate and align the print heads. Fortunately, I have more than one Wi-Fi connection via a modem/router and then a wonderful Wi-Fi broadcaster that sends out the signal for Wi-Fi 7 instead of just 6e. It makes connecting various devices so much easier on 2.4ghz and 5ghz bands used on the printer, but I also use 6ghz for faster broadband results. I liked the fact that the new printer has the same 4.3" color touchscreen like other HP printers and the good feature was that the menus were easy to navigate and made setup and usage easier from the very start. I went ahead and ordered the 3 free months of the Instant Ink subscription since I had a minimal 10 pages a month on my old HP printer and I was able to cancel it while setting the new plan up. I received my first box of ink within a week of signing up and was surprised on how quickly it arrived. The printer has the good 2 methods to scan documents via the sheet feeder or flatbed. It can also duplex print without having any jams and saves paper. I was pleased with the noise level that the printer produced while printing documents. The new feature I have not had before was to setup the printer to email documents to my personal Gmail account. I was glad that I did not have to use the special long email which is a standard optional feature for HP printers. I decided to print out various photos and business presentations I had received via email so I could see how well the color settings worked on the two types of items. I then just used black and white instead of color which is a faster speed per the manufacturer and my own experience of using the brand for many years. I like the printer that has Built-in HP Wolf Pro Security that uses a powerful suite of customizable tools that boost security and helps keep networks protected against cyber threats and malware. I remembered seeing the HP Wolf security on prior HP laptops I have had over the many years.

I’ve been using the HP OfficeJet Pro 9135e for a week and it has exceeded my expectations as a home office and small-business printer. Setup was straightforward, and the dual-band Wi-Fi connected quickly without the constant disconnects I’ve experienced with previous printers. Print quality is really good for both everyday printing documents and powerpoint presentations. Text comes out crisp and clear and the color graphics are sharp. The automatic duplex printing and duplex scanning features are must haves to save paper and doesn’t bleed through. Just make sure to get multi-purpose paper. Also, I have printed 30 to 50 page documents in que and never experienced paper jams. Just made sure to remove the paper when the paper holder gets full. The dual paper trays are another standout feature, allowing me to keep different paper types loaded and ready to go. The AI-enhanced printing tools and HP Smart app make printing from my phone and laptop incredibly convenient. I also appreciate the large touchscreen, which is responsive and easy to navigate. No printer is perfect. The unit is larger than some home printers, and genuine HP ink can be expensive if you print heavily. However, the speed, reliability, security features, and all-in-one functionality more than make up for those drawbacks. Overall, the HP OfficeJet Pro 9135e is a powerful, feature-rich printer that delivers fast performance, excellent print quality, and business-class capabilities at a reasonable price. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a dependable all-in-one printer for a home office or small business.
