Customer Ratings & Reviews

There is no doubt that HP is a leader in the printing industry. For years, their products have proven their efficiency and performance. No exception, this HP Officejet 9730 is no exception. I was surprised by how big it is; it is massive compared to other Officejet in the same segment, because it prints and scans 11 × 17-inch documents and has two paper trays. It feels more like a professional office printer, and I think the extra size is worth it, knowing that this printer is going to be all-in-one with extra capabilities that I may need. From the first moment, I liked how the design is clean and solid and felt premium. As usual, setup was easy using the HP Smart app and following the steps, and in a few minutes the printer was up and running. The 4.3-inch color touchscreen is really helpful and responsive, making it very easy to navigate the printer's settings. Printing is fast, quality is excellent, and text looks sharp. Since this printer is all-in-one, the 35-sheet automatic document feeder supports single-pass duplex scanning, meaning it scans both sides of a document in one pass instead of feeding the paper through twice. It also supports automatic two-sided printing, so everything is handled without manually flipping pages. Except for ID card scanning, both sides required flipping the ID. The printer supports dual-band Wi-Fi, Ethernet, USB, Apple AirPrint, Wi-Fi Direct, and the HP Smart app, so I can print from everywhere whether I’m home or away since it supports cloud printing. The Wi-Fi connection has remained stable, and I haven't experienced any unexpected disconnects. One thing that's kind of disappointing here is that this printer uses regular ink cartridges rather than an HP Smart Tank that relies on a refillable ink tank, which makes the printing cost way less. However, this is not a deal-breaker for me; the printer offers a combination of printing quality, performance, automatic functions, a big touchscreen, and two massive paper trays.

HP has been in the printing industry for a long long time. The office jet pro 9730 is another step to their stake in the printing industry. Setup was pretty easy with the exception scan to HP cloud and Scan to Google. We will get to that in a bi.. Pulled out of the box slid it out (be careful super heavy you probably need to team lift this beast of a printer). Plugged in. Walked through Wi-Fi connection via on screen prompt and I was in. My Android phone found it no problems, my various household PC same. Found it with no issues. Print quality and speed is good for ink jet. HP very nice crisp and fast. I tried using the app. It found the printer no problems. Copy function is great! 11x17 scan/Copy is ONLY through flat bed. Automatic document feeder does not take 11x17. So make sure you are aware of this. Also note. Paper tray for 11x17 will cause for the try you put the 11x17 in to stick out. If you are OCD this might bother you. So going back to the scan to cloud and Scan to HP Cloud. I had some issues with setting this up. I ended up resetting the printer to the original Firmware and not updating it and I was finally able to keep the scan to cloud function to stay. I think HP might be working on a solution for this but in the meantime this isy suggested work around for this issue. Also this requires an ink subscription to work. Other than that. Great printer. I love my 11x17 option.

The HP OfficeJet Pro 9730 is built for anyone who has ever needed more than a standard letter-size page. It prints and scans up to 11 by 17 inches, which is a genuine help for large spreadsheets, floor plans, brochures, and photos that simply will not fit on ordinary paper. Setup was straightforward, and the wireless connection stayed reliable. The 4.3-inch color touchscreen is clear and easy to navigate. The HP app lets you print or scan from a phone without extra steps. Two 250-sheet trays mean you are not constantly loading paper, and automatic two-sided printing saves both time and paper. The automatic document feeder handles stacks of pages well. The AI feature is more useful than it first sounds. When you print a web page or email, it tidies the layout and strips out extra clutter so you get a clean page instead of wasted sheets. Color output looks rich and close to what you see on screen. A three-month Instant Ink trial is included, which takes the worry out of running low. This printer is larger than a typical home model, so measure your desk space first. For a home office or small team that needs professional-looking wide documents without extra fuss, the 9730 is a practical, capable choice.

I really like this printer. Easy to read display. It is larger than what is on the little brother of this printer. The scan bed is large as well. 11 x 17 tabloid size media can be scanned and printed and the two media bins come in handy for switching between paper sizes. Duplex printing is a joy. Auto document feeder is a nice touch. The two trays that hold 250 pages each pretty much makes sure you are covered when it comes to whatever you usually print depending on home office use or side hustle. I like the three months of free ink if you subscribe to the service HP offers. Gives a good length of time to be able to get the hang of the bugs that you know are bound to show up when you're dealing with technology. I have been able to print some great prints from some random photos I forgot I had on my phone. Wireless printing is always a bonus when you don't have space for the printer near a outlet for your network. Now for the not so fun part. If you register this printer with HP and do a firmware upgrade you can forget using ink that isn't made by HP. Other than that it is a very good printer.

Unpacking was back breaking, this thing is HUGE. But credit to HP, they have it in the box inside of a heavy duty bag with strong handles that can be used to pull it out. Made it MUCH easier for a disabled vet like me to get it into the room I wanted. This is replacing a much smaller HP printer - my old HP (410) is about 1/5 or 1/6 of the volume of this thing. NOT a fan of things that try to force you to a smart device and a QR code. Not like initial setup requires anything that intense - give it paper, pull off all the tape, insert cartridges, set date / time / timezone, get it on wireless if needed (I'm using mine wired), and you are ready to go. Sent a test page from my laptop, came through just fine. At that point I had only let Windows 11 find the printer and install the drivers automatically. I could print. Printer properties offered all the standard settings though. And many presets, from factory defaults, normal printing, duplex, photo printing, even fast/economical printing. Test page came through very quick. Hit the HP page to download the utilities for scanning and everything. Two options, the online installer or the offline installer. I was a bit disappointed to see that the offline installer was from 2023, so hopefully I actually get something more recent from the online installer, otherwise this generic offline installer hasn't been addressed by HP for any updates in 3 years. So doing the easy start, and I'm on my private network, and it won't install until you walk to the printer to hit "allow." So I'm traipsing to the other side of my house to push a button on a printer just to install printer software. This is ANNOYING for a disabled person like me. HP, I'm seriously not worried that someone will install printer drivers on a computer behind my printer's back... Got past all of the HP prompts wanting data and hit a roadblock. My internet works - obviously, since I'm running the ONLINE INSTALLER. But it says it can't check for a firmware update. So clearly something in the HP ecosystem is screwed up today. No option to continue anyway. You can retry, or EXIT SETUP. Fortunately, the EXIT option doesn't kill the whole setup, so I was able to continue with the install routine skipping the firmware update. I chose the option to install everything, rather than the smart start lesser one. Since the laptop this is on is used only at my house here (I use my Surface Pro 11 ARM to go to work with me) the full install should be fine. And out of the blue the install appeared to have failed. I recently tried another HP printer, and had even more issues since that was the Surface Pro and HP didn't do well with ARM for their installers, I had to settle for their universal printer driver. This install didn't give any error - simply vanished. But it looks like it actually DID finish since I have HP twain driver entries in my start menu now. But no warning, no message, no "install complete" message, it simply vanished? That's hardly a good installer routine. Scan software has the normal options for save file types - save as PDF or JPG, email as PDF or JPG. Where you could select options for the saved files, such as the type of document, how many sided, resolution, etc, there is a "more" option. But that button locked up the software and I had to go to task manager and end task. Second time I tried it brought me to more detailed options. I've never had to print from a smart phone or tablet but played with it anyway. I had already put the printer on my network with a static IP so the software found the existing printer just fine. Tried to scan, worked well, and gave me the options to save or email or send to messages, all the normal things I'd see when doing something with a file on my iPhone. Printing from it offered to find files and photos on my phone, or accounts like evernote, dropbox, box, etc. I grabbed something from my onedrive and sent it to print without issues. Then I hit my web browser, found a page, sent it to print. Once again, printed without issues. Not sure I'll ever have to print from a mobile device, never had to in all these years, but it worked, so I know I CAN moving forward. Noise levels are about as you'd expect from a larger inkjet. I've got a photo scanner for my high res needs, but this is great simply for documents. I've had issues with their software on my ARM device a few months ago, but for scanning they have an ARM version explicitly, so that was what I installed. I like that it installs the prerequisites it needs as well, rather than erroring out and making you go hunt them down yourself. My other multi function printer lacked duplex scanning, so this is a nice feature to have again, and it worked well. I also appreciate the installer's option to set up scan to PC so that you can simply go to the printer, initiate a scan, indicate your PC, and have it sent there as whatever file type you prefer. So simple and quick. It's a bit pricey compared to other options, but it works well overall. Fast prints, good quality results, larger paper format compatibility, and one of the better touch screen display panels I've seen on something that isn't a business class full sized MFP.

Review of HP OfficeJet Pro 9730 Wireless AI-Enabled Wide Format AiO Inkjet At first, the OfficeJet Pro 9730 is remarkable in its own category for supporting wide format printing and ease of use via HP application through the variety of type of connection and devices and multiple users. Its specifications are quite common to regular printers, but differs on: 1. Print Speed: Up to 22ppm (black) and Up to 18ppm (color) 2. Supported features: Duplex Print, Borderless Printing, 3. Maximum Scan Size 297x432 flatbed 4. Supported Wide Formats: - Tabloid (Ledger) (11 x 17 inches) & A3 (11.7 x 16.5 inches) 5. Input Trays: it has two standard input trays. It can store up to 500 sheets in total. Then its screen for control from the printer is nice feeling as move around the options as it is touch screen. The display size is 4.3 inch color LCD, and smooth on fingertip. And the corresponding cartridges are 4, Cyan/Magenta/Yellow/Black, and included with the printer. Now, to setup it require upon powering on, it prompt on the LCD the message to connect via HP App with mobile as very first step, then the following are same to most of standard setup to connect to the WiFi to the point of having installed the cartrdriges. In between it include link to see how to, then the rest is following the steps from the LCD. Then the HP Smart App can control different customizations and specific to printing job. In overall, it is good if the need is to have support of wide format printing without having a huge larger scaler printer. Although, it is quite big as it has two trays and has to be wide enough to support it. And it doesn’t have many USB ports, only one at front and another in the rear and one for the ethernet port. And for last, a remark on the LCD, it is comfortable to interact with it, it feels larger than actual size during the use, and able to tilt up to ease the experience. What I wish it were better: 1. The AC Power cord was longer. It comes with 6 feet long. Hence it is forced to place near an outlet even though if it is not optimal place within the office or house. (Naturally there is workaround which takes additional cable).

The HP OfficeJet Pro 9730 is a quality wide-format color inkjet printer ideal for small office use. • Unboxing and Setup – The printer arrived well packaged in a large box. Unboxing was quick but make sure it is near where you plan to set it up as the printer is a decent size making it awkward to carry. It measures approximately 15 x 23 x 18 inches and weighs almost 43 pounds. Setup is fairly straightforward. Power it on and select a language on the 4.3-inch color touchscreen. Scan the digital QR code located on top of the printer. Alternatively, there is a website listed below the QR code if you prefer to use a browser. Follow the instructions to complete the setup. The only issue I had was the final step in the app of entering the printer PIN. It would get stuck on the loading page and nothing would happen. Ultimately, I would have to force close the app and try again. After multiple attempts it finally worked. • Printing – It produces professional quality prints at speeds up to 22 ppm for black and 18 ppm for color. It has two 250-sheet input trays and a 75-sheet output tray. It can print up to 11x17 inches. The printer connects via a dual-band Wi-Fi, Ethernet or USB. So far, I have printed numerous family pictures for my daughter’s school project which turned out great. Swapping to photo paper and updating the printer settings is easy to do on the color touchscreen. Additionally, I have printed many documents for work that were clear and free of streaking, missing lines, or smudging. • HP App – User friendly app that allows quick access to print, scan, copy, or fax directly from your personal device. I find this to be super convenient as I do a lot of my work directly from my phone. • Optimize print formatting with HP AI – An innovative feature that helps optimize the printing of webpages and emails to reduce wasted space/ink by removing unnecessary content (ie: Ads) and improving the layout. • Cons – Really the only major issue I have with this printer is the requirement to use HP genuine cartridges. Per the HP documentation, if you try to use any 3rd party cartridge the printer will block it. HP also pushes periodic firmware updates to maintain this block. This is super anti-consumer. There should be an option where you can agree to the risks of using a 3rd party cartridge. The printer loses a star for this.

Very nice SOHO printer. Its very large and heavy, came in a large box. Two people is recommended to get it out of the box and setup. Once put in its place, I plugged it on power and plugged an ethernet cable to it (also supports Wi-Fi) and turned it on. The setup process is very easy and starts in its very nice large color touch screen, I inserted the included set of inks (easy to insert too, you just plop open the front door and you insert them and they click into place), then it makes you firmware updates and then print an alignment test. From there, you finish the setup on their HP app. We have Windows PCs environment, so downloaded the HP app from the Windows app store and finished there. From there you can tell it what do you want to do (scan a document, print, copy etc.), you can also do those things locally on the printer's touch screen. The app can be finicky at times, sometimes it will say "printer is offline", where it is actually online. I have to click the app a couple of times, to kind of "detect" my printer. But, its not really a real issue, windows always shows it online and ready, so its more of a HP app issue. The printer is great and versatile for a SOHO or office. You have 2 paper trays and you can have different size papers on each. We have one for regular letter papers and the second one for larger format, which this printer supports, up to A3. It also has a large bed for scanning documents, but it also has an auto feeder on top, and it will scan several pages if you want and feed itself (copies too). The print quality is great, with dark blacks and great color too. Its very fast and not that noisy, however if you want it to be quieter, there is also a quiet mode, where it will be even more quiet, at the sacrifice of speed. A nice thing is you can set automatic quiet hours. Fast during the day and quiet at night. Since I use it on a SOHO environment, this is a great and welcome feature. Ink sets can be pricey, however they do include 3 months free of their printer subscription, and they have several pricing tiers, so the could help saving on printer ink. If your SOHO prints a lot, this would be beneficial. If you are looking for a nice large format printer for your SOHO, this is a very nice option!

I purchased this product to replace an old HP Office jet Pro 8600 (copy, scan, fax) . Windows 10 is an option for set up which is what I needed at the time. The software had to be installed at least three times to get the automatic two side printing to work so set up can be an issue. If you want an all in one this one does not come with fax option (It's only copy, scan, print options on display panel). It uses only mobile fax which is a con for me. For the price of HP's Office jet pro wide format printers they should at least keep the fax feature. Everything else about the printer works better than the old one. I would have given 5 Stars instead of 4 if the fax option was there.

N/A by works ok no probjrms; speed is groggy:nonpsslloopite

I have owned 6 HP printers over the last 10 years and this printer is hands down the best one yet. I own my own business and this does everything I need it to and then some. I’m a huge fan of HP Instant Ink and was thrilled to finally find a printer that supported that and printed on 11x17 paper.

So far so good. No issues with wireless and 11x17 capacity is great

I LOVE this printer! I have purchased 2 - one for house, and one for business. It prints my large menus, color printing is great and sharp. You won't go wrong with this one!

If you have a home office or small business office this printer is really a great addition as it offers the ability to handle standard paper and legal and tabloid size paper. The cartridges are the larger style cartridges that seem to last quite a bit longer with high volume printing along with the option to enroll into Instant Ink (which is entirely optional and it only asked once and hasn't bothered about it since). The only thing to keep in mind is because this has two FULL SIZE paper trays that can both handle tabloid size paper, the printer is physically pretty large and takes up a decent amount of space so I'd recommend planning a printer stand or table to have it on as if it is on a desk it will take a bunch of space up. That said, if you have only standard letter in both trays, you can shrink the tray size so they close and don't take up as much space in the front of the machine, which is a nice plus. The trays themselves are really nice and easy to fill and adjust for different media types which is a huge plus. It's almost as nice as the large copier at my work office in that regard. Setup only took a few minutes and it was up and going without any trouble at all. HP's app makes it easy to do it with that or you can just follow the on screen instructions to get it up and going. From there it was instantly recognized by both my Windows and Linux PC's and phone with tablets. HP tends to be really solid in terms of the ease of setup and connectivity to devices. Other brands I have had in the recent past, I'll not mention here tend to have difficulty allowing you to print from your phone or other devices but that is not the case with this printer, it's worked flawlessly for me. Print quality has been great so far with crisp text and colorful photos. Though it's not marketed as a photo printer, it does print on photo paper borderless quite well for only being 3 color ink right from my phone. You can print duplex and scan duplex as well and in the scans/copies I've tried in it, the document feeder feeds straight and cleanly scans documents with ease either to your PC, Email or phone/tablet. Last, is just the software and features... HP's app seems hands down better than the Epson app and I've had no issues connecting to this printer where I constantly had issues connecting to my Epson printer and the app was really not all that great. HP's app is easy to use, and offers a ton of features like the ability to Fax (like who does that anymore, but it sure is handy to have when you do need it!). The templates, and projects that HP has in the app is also awesome and I'd say check it out, they have a bunch of super handy templates for the kids and for your small business. In fact, some of those I'm going to try to use, they're handy and easy to print (like calendars, or forms, or business planning guides for different topics). Overall, I am impressed with this printer in terms of features, software, quality and easy of use. I would definitely recommend getting it if you have a need for larger tabloid prints or higher volume printing or simply want additional trays for different media (and for me the larger size is essential if you deal with CAD drawings or structural prints a lot). Even if it's just for higher volume prints, or you want a machine that is a solid pick for a small business or home office I'd say this is for you. Also a note on the Instant Ink... While this review isn't about HP Instant Ink, I can certainly understand why another subscription, I can say from my own experience if you only print occasionally or a lot it does give you peace of mind that you'll never run out and if you do have trouble HP's support is great to help based on my experience in the past and I'd recommend giving it a try rather than going down the rabbit hole of trying to by off name replacement ink or worry about running out, as you'll spend the same in the end anyway and if you're using this in a workgroup/office setting the last thing you want is to worry about it being out of ink!

HP has always been a leader in printing... And this is still a very good printer... but some things you need to understand. There are plenty of reviews and details about HP Instant Ink program, its pros and cons, who it makes sense for, and how it works. I HIGHLY recommend you take the time to understand that program, and how it factors in. One key note: Any ink you obtain via that program, will ONLY work, while you are still subscribed to the program. Now for the printer itself... it's a beast and rightly so. I LOVE having a printer that can do 11x17. For presentations and signage it is great.. that bigger sheet of paper and surface, opens the door to a LOT more options. And what I like is that it fits in the tray. A lot of other wide format printers, the 11x17 paper has to sit outside of it on a manual feed tray.. and that stinks as you can't leave the paper ready for use. And this printer has 2 trays... so you can easily load both 11x17 and standard 8.5x11, or what ever you need... HOWEVER... the dual tray seems to sacrifice the manual feed tray.. Which for the most part is okay, unless you are trying to print on a heavier card stock, or envelopes. Print speed is adequate... it isn't going to break any speed records, but you also are not going to be waiting hours for your print job to finish... Quality of the print is spot on.. .I don't go crazy and crack out magnifying glasses to check the print, I just look at it... and it is good, and for business prints (not photo replication or selling), works perfectly fine. This is still ink jet, and not laser.. So moisture is not your friend on the prints. If the print has a chance to get wet, laminate, or protect the print. Now it does have dual band WiFi... what does that mean? Well let's just say, that you should have no problem connecting this printer wireless to your network. It support new and old frequencies that just about every WiFi today, should have at least 1 of them. But, this printer DOES have USB and Hard-Line ethernet... a LOT of printers are abandoning these options. While my setup doesn't really need a USB connection, a hardline ethernet is great, as I try to hard-line any equipment, that doesn't move... and thus in my printing space, this works great, and will be my longer term solution. Simply connect, it gets its IP address from the router.. and good to go. You can set a static IP if you want, but I typically prefer to do that in the router. Now the scanner... It is GREAT that it can do BOTH sides in one pass, that saves a lot of time, if you have documents that are already double sided... Worked flawlessly for the test I did, but not something I see myself regularly using. The scan quality was good, no complaints. So if you still need a document scanner, this is an option to save another device. Now the SIZE... this is where you need to know wha you are getting.. This is a BEAST, it's big, and it is not light. you will need a sturdy cabinet or supported table/desk for this. It will cause plastic table to bow in the center (ask me how I know)... and when it is printing, you want a firm base so that it doesn't rattle away. But as noted above, with no manual feed tray in back, you don't need to have a lot of room in the back side of the printer, so this does give you some better options. So overall this is a very good printer at the price. Jury is still out on how accurate the print counts are on the ink cartridges... It is about $150 to replace all 4 (at least they are 4 separate tanks, so you are not using a multi-color cartridge). for standard output. You have the option for the Instant Ink subscription, if you print a lot, and you can make the finances work, it makes sense. a VERY good option, if you are going to take advantage of the 11x17 on a semi-frequent basis. So Pros: - Great printing on 11x17 - Great Tray options - Great connectivity - Fast Printing - Good scanning - Not bigger then it has to bee Cons: - It is an Ink Jet printer - It is BIG, so you need some space, and sturdy support - No manual tray - Ink can get costly, but there are options based on your usage needs

HP has released a new printer in their OfficeJet lineup, the OfficeJet Pro 9730. This is a large inkjet printer that supports larger format paper such as 11x17. It also has features one would need and expect in an office setting (Print, Copy, Scan, Fax). Printing The print quality is top notch. Even when printing on standard quality/brightness paper, the text is sharp and clear. Photos are good quality as well. Most won’t be printing photos in an office setting, but it’s good to know that it is there if/when it is needed. It comes with two 250 sheet paper treys. Most printers in this price range require one to buy a second trey to add to a printer, but HP includes a second one with this printer. It takes up to 5 seconds for it to begin printing a job, but once it starts, it prints fast. I have no complaints regarding printing speed. The output trey will hold 75 sheets, which is a lot for me, but for some business uses, this could be frustrating with having to periodically remove 75 sheets so it can continue printing the rest of a large document. It’s a large capacity output trey for an inject printer and it would hold the entirety of a typical sized document that I print, so I don’t have any issue with it and I’m glad it is larger than most inject printers. Ink It comes with starter cartridges. I have the option to sign up for HP’s instant ink which is a subscription, but it does offer, at this time, 3 months free. Most people don’t like subscriptions since almost every company is trying to force people onto a subscription service, but fortunately with this printer, it is an option and not a requirement. The ink cartridges are slotted on the bottom which makes it easy to align them when inserting them into the printer. It’s simple and straightforward. Copy/Scan The printer allows me to scan and copy 8.5x14 pages. This is the largest flatbed of any inkjet printer I’ve ever owned. It accommodates the 8.5x11 sized pages that I sometimes need to scan and/or copy. Other features The 4.3” tilting LCD screen is sharp and easy to read. It’s also a touch screen. I found it to be very responsive to options I select. Finally, a printer with a touch screen that responds fast. This is a refreshing change from the typical slow touchscreens most inkjet printers use. It supports WiFi, LAN, and USB connectivity. I didn’t have any problems getting this connected to my wireless network. It also gives me the option to auto install firmware updates or just get notified when one is available. I do like that it keeps track of network related statistics and print jobs (name of job, date, time, etc.) and I can print out reports of each when I want to. Final Thoughts HP has done well with the OfficeJet Pro 9730. I like to see things being stepped up in the world of inkjet printers as HP has done with the 9730. If you need an inkjet printer for office use, then definitely consider the OfficeJet Pro 9730 offering from HP. It’s certainly worth considering.

CON: You are required to have an HP account and download HP Smart to use the device.

This is probably the best All-in-One printer I've used to this point and its packed with features. My actual day job uses the HP M577 Enterprise All-in-One printer and I would still say that the OfficeJet Pro 9730 is still better in my opinion. My wife and I have a small rental property business on the side and between printing leases, contract documents for repairs, taxes and more, this thing is a powerhouse. I really appreciate the two paper trays that hold up to 250 sheets in each tray, the network connection and the touchscreen display. This thing is really a workhorse. It is very heavy though, about 40 pounds. I thought that was worth mentioning because you will need a sturdy, durable stand or cart to store it on. It also takes up a good amount of real estate. HP lists the dimensions as 22.9" W x 33.2" D x 15.2" H which is roughly two feet wide by almost three feet deep. It prints in both color and black and white, is compatible with both 2.4ghz and 5ghz wifi, which provides a strong wireless connection. It works with AirPrint and you can print and monitor remotely using the HP Eprint app. You can also sign up for HP's Instant Ink, which automatically monitors ink levels and ships you ink as needed. The price is less than buying it in store and saves you the trouble of having to go out to a brick and mortar shop to find it. This is perfect for small businesses, home offices and students alike. I highly recommend this device. I couldnt recommend it more.

HP - OfficeJet Pro 9730 Wireless AI-Enabled Wide Format All-in-One Inkjet Printer with 3 Months of Instant Ink - White The Officejet Pro 9730 all-in-one Injet Peinter is one fine printer. It comes boxed extremely well. It weights 43 LBs, so yes it has some weight to it and rightfully so. You get two, 250 paper trays that hold paper up to size 11"x17" paper, the Office Jet Pro 9730 can copy and scan paper sizes up to 8.5" x 14", and prints up to 22 ppm black and 18 ppm color, and prints 2 sided 35 sheet single pass document feeder. Setting up was straight forward, but did give me a hiccup when I was at the firmware update. I had to skip the firmware update on the printer, and inserting the ink cartridges should have a click feel to them but does not, you insert them with no clicking stopping, not that bad at all but you should know, then all went smooth otherwise. Printing - this 9730 is absolutely fast, even at color photos, the print quality is stunningly great on plain paper or photo paper (that is great). Black and white text printing is fast and looks perfect! Scanning - scans extremely well. Even to your phone, that is a very useful feature. Copy - The 9730 copies documents super easy. Just put the papers to be copies in the document tray on top or on the scanning screen and select copy, follow the prompts, super easy and perfect copies. The HP OfficeJet Pro 9730 Wide Format Inkjet Printer is perfect, with the exception of no click feeling inserting the ink cartridges, great printer, but just know its big with 2 250 paper trays and tales 11x17 paper, so its obviously perfect size for what you are getting.

I’ve been using the HP OfficeJet Pro 9730e, and overall I’ve been extremely impressed with it. If you’re looking for a dependable all-in-one printer that can handle everyday documents as well as larger-format printing, this is a great option. I use a printer regularly for business, so speed, print quality, scanning, reliability, and ease of use are all important to me. The HP 9730e has done a great job in all of those areas. One of my favorite things about this printer is its versatility. This isn’t just a basic home printer that you use occasionally. It feels much more like a small-office machine. You can print, scan, and copy, and the ability to handle wide-format documents is a huge advantage. Being able to print documents up to 11 x 17 inches gives you considerably more flexibility than a standard letter-size printer. This is especially useful for businesses that occasionally need larger spreadsheets, presentations, plans, marketing materials, or other oversized documents without having to send them to a print shop. The print quality has also been excellent. Regular black-and-white documents come out looking sharp, clean, and professional. Text is crisp and easy to read, which is important when printing contracts, proposals, invoices, reports, and other business documents. Color printing is equally impressive. Colors look bright and professional without appearing overly saturated. Whether I’m printing something simple or a document with logos, graphics, photos, or marketing materials, the finished product looks very good. Speed is another area where the 9730e performs well. I print enough documents that I don’t want to stand around waiting for a slow printer to finish a large job. The HP handles normal office printing quickly, and it feels like it was designed for people who actually use their printer regularly. Even when printing multi-page documents, it gets through the job efficiently. The automatic document feeder is another feature I appreciate. If you regularly scan or copy multi-page documents, having an automatic feeder makes a huge difference. Instead of placing every page individually on the scanner glass, you can load a stack and let the printer do the work. For a business environment, this saves a surprising amount of time. Scanning quality has been very good as well. Documents come through clearly and are easy to read when saved digitally or emailed. This is particularly useful if you’re trying to reduce the amount of paper you keep around the office. I can scan documents and keep electronic copies instead of having filing cabinets full of paperwork. The touchscreen and overall controls are straightforward. There’s always a slight learning curve with a new printer, but after getting everything set up, operating the 9730e is simple. The menus are easy to understand, and the printer gives you clear information about what it is doing. You don’t have to be particularly tech-savvy to use the everyday functions. Wireless printing is another major convenience. Being able to print from different computers, phones, and other devices without physically connecting them to the printer makes it much easier to use in a modern office or home. Once everything is connected properly, sending something to the printer is quick and convenient. I particularly like being able to print something directly from my phone when needed instead of having to send it to my computer first. The build quality is also better than I expected. This is a fairly substantial printer, which makes sense considering its wide-format capability, but it feels sturdy and well made. It doesn’t feel like a lightweight printer that is going to struggle with regular use. If you’re purchasing one, I would recommend checking the dimensions first because it does require more desk or counter space than a typical compact home printer. For me, however, the additional size is absolutely worth it for the capabilities you gain. Paper handling has been reliable, which is something I think gets overlooked when reviewing printers. A printer can have every feature imaginable, but if you’re constantly dealing with paper jams or having to reload paper, it quickly becomes frustrating. So far, the 9730e has handled normal printing very well. Being able to keep paper loaded and send documents to the printer without constantly messing with it is exactly what I want from an office printer. I also like that this printer can serve as one central machine instead of needing separate devices for different tasks. For a small business or home office, that can save both money and space. You have your printer, scanner, and copier all together, plus the ability to handle larger-format printing when necessary. For business owners, I think the HP OfficeJet Pro 9730e offers a particularly good balance. There are cheaper printers available, and there are much more expensive commercial office machines available, but this falls into a nice middle ground. You get many of the features you would expect from a larger office printer without needing a huge commercial copier sitting in your office. Like any inkjet printer, ink cost is something to consider, especially if you print very high volumes. However, for the combination of quality, speed, convenience, and versatility, I think the overall value is very good. For someone who needs professional-looking documents but doesn’t need to invest in a large commercial laser machine, it makes a lot of sense. Overall, I’m very happy with the HP OfficeJet Pro 9730e. It prints quickly, produces excellent-quality documents, scans and copies efficiently, handles larger paper sizes, and offers convenient wireless printing. Most importantly, it feels like a printer that was designed to actually get work done rather than simply having a long list of features on the box. I would definitely recommend the HP OfficeJet Pro 9730e to anyone looking for a capable home-office or small-business printer. It’s especially worth considering if you regularly print business documents and want the added flexibility of 11 x 17 printing. Between the print quality, speed, scanning capabilities, automatic document feeder, wireless connectivity, and wide-format support, it offers a lot for the money. If you need a reliable all-in-one printer that can handle both everyday printing and more demanding office work, the HP OfficeJet Pro 9730e is an excellent choice. It has made printing and scanning around the office much easier, and I would absolutely go with this unit again.
