HP - Smart Tank 5001 Wireless All-in-One AI-Enabled Cartridge-Free Supertank Inkjet Printer with 3 Years of Ink Included¹ - Basalt

Has been as advertised easy to set up, sharp color prints and scans are great

I've been using the HP Smart Tank 5001 for a couple of weeks now, and I'm impressed by the simplicity of this printer. The standout feature of this printer is the ink system—the printer takes large quantities of ink and uses a clever bottle system that allows you to fill the tanks without spilling a drop. Based on the amount of ink included with the printer, I don't expect to be buying more anytime soon. Setup is easy and it's no-frills. Take the printer out of the box, take off a minimal amount of packing tape, cardboard shipping supports, and the plastic piece that protects the slots for the printheads, and plug it in. From there, I used the HP app on my phone to begin configuration. The HP app walks you through the entire initial setup, including connecting to Wi-Fi, filling the ink tanks, and installing the printheads. All in all, it took about 10 minutes from opening the box to printing the first page. One thing that I really appreciated was the ability to use the printer without setting up an HP account or connecting it to any online subscription services. Once connected to Wi-Fi, all of our devices were able to see and print to the printer without any special setup. We have printed from our Macs, Windows 11 PCs, and iOS devices without the need for downloads or complicated driver installs. Print quality is very good. We're long past the days of counting pixels on a typical inkjet printer, and for everyday printing this machine does a great job. My wife printed a large number of color pages to laminate for her classroom, and the colors were vibrant on both plain paper and cardstock. Even after all of her classroom preparation, we couldn't see a noticeable decrease in the ink levels, which are conveniently visible through the tanks on the front of the printer. I also looked into the cost of consumables for the future, and they're very reasonably priced. Replacement bottles of black and color ink, as well as replacement printheads, are all priced around $23–$25 MSRP each. HP states that the included ink can last around three years with average printing volume, and based on how little ink we've used so far, that seems entirely plausible. All in all, if you're looking for a straightforward, no-frills printer with low running costs and an enormous supply of ink, the HP Smart Tank 5001 should be near the top of your list.

This is not HP's fault but I wanted a printer that ran on a 5G Network and the staff member at Best buy told me this would. I also did not find it extremely user-friendly to set up. I did follow the directions given but had problems and had to go to YouTube to find how to solve it. The other thing that I don't care for is the status screen is on the top. I have the printer on a shelf and cannot see that status screen so I have to pull the printer out and down a little if I need to see what it says. My last printer had the status screen on the front.

We bought this printer for you sit at home and it’s the perfect replacement for our old printer. It was easy to set up and connect to the app to enjoy all of its features. We love being able to have 100 pages stored ready to use. We will have three years of printing with enough ink to print 3000 pages, wow! The price was right for what you get. Has nothing to dislike with this printer. We recommend it to everyone Looking for a reliable three in one printer, that prints, color, and black-and-white quickly.

Hooked up the printer to our network with new problems. Have used it for printing and scanning with no issues.
