HP - Smart Tank 7301 Wireless AI-Enabled All-in-One Cartridge-Free Supertank Inkjet Printer with 3 Years of Ink Included¹ - White & Slate

This printer has saved my life. I work at in the mental health field and turn in progress notes weekly up to 50+ pages. I also print also various worksheet both black and colored. This printer was extremely easy to set it. Out of 10 printers I have used in the past few years, they either are hard to connect to Bluetooth, WiFi, set up in general but this was super easy peasy lemon squeezy!!!!!!! Took me 20 mins max to get it to run. Pages barelt ever get stuck. Only time when it has it was my majority my fault for letting the pages stump over one another. The ink reservoir my lord. The ink has been strong for 3 Months and I still have half a tank left. By far one of my best investments ! I print pages back to back and it doesn’t overheat. Color comes out great. Color contrast is amazing. No complaints yet nor do I think I will have one !!! I usually complain about printer 1 month in !!

This is a maddening product. The ink tanks make frequent cartridge changes a thing of the past. Print quality is excellent. But! But! But! It goes offline every few minutes and you can’t get it back without pulling the power cord out. Why not an on/off switch ?? This printer has the most confusing mix of buttons and hold down together/in sequence instructions to get it to do what…Why not brighter lights, labelled buttons, and menu driven options- we’re not programming a garage door opener from 1990 are we ?? The paper feed is clunky and keeps jamming. Frequently pulling out the plug from the back doesn’t help. Scanning is somehow extra difficult- it takes 2 minutes before it starts to read in the document. The prior HP printer used cartridges but it was a reliable workhorse. They improved the ink but made everything else much worse. However if you use the HP Smart App and route all your printing and scanning to the web ( no HP Direct is full of bugs) it miraculously works a lot better. But that means HP gets to read and scan all your documents. So it all comes down to you have to use HP Smart if you want it to work. Possibly it is an incompatibility between Windows and HP wireless network protocols? Yes I’m looking for another printer, one with a direct wifi connection that works, one that built a lot better, with better labels and menus. Overall promising and even enticing, but not worth it.

Easy setup with app. Love that the printer heads are easily removable for cleaning, and the auto-alignment involves it scanning its own report and adjusting. Pair those with the extra large ink resevoir, and this printer is what you've been wanting. Easily integrates via wifi with all phones and laptops in the home. Thanks HP!!

Love this printer. Super easy to set up and the print quality is good for most common jobs (like my kid's homework, or general printing needs). We had an OfficeJet before and that was our scanning and printing workhorse until it finally quit working. Looking forward to many good years with this one.

Overall this is an OK printer. It produces very good quality output, which I guess is the most important thing. I do like the 'ink tank' alternative to cartridges. And in relative terms, the price was right. But... setting it up was a nightmare. HP forces you to use the "HP Smart" application, which is quite the opposite of "smart." The instructions in the box were a joke. I could not get anything at all to work using my laptop per the instructions. It is only possible to set this printer up using a phone and the downloaded app. Then the app requires you to enable "location" so that HP can "find" its printer in the world (an unnecessary and intrusive approach). Even after being "found" by HP, the printer would not recognize my home wifi network. After much Googling, aborted attempts, and using the "HP Print and Scan Doctor" it finally worked. Until I tried to scan something, and found that scanning requires you to log into your HP "account." Seriously? All needless hassle, way too complex and difficult to use. Once you get it to work, the printer works well, though ease-of-use is further hindered by the unintuitive icons on the display. It helps to keep the tiny "reference guide" nearby to use as a cheat sheet. Then there is the misleading marketing: "Two years free ink" (revised by BestBuy to read UP TO two years free ink, which is still misleading) strongly implies that there is a time consideration (2 years) with regard to included refills. There is not. You get the ink that's in the box, and that's it. Supposedly HP used some 'average use' measure to get to the "2 years" claim. I guess if you print a lot, you get far less. Shady marketing at best. An honest approach would have compared # of ounces included vs. that of competing ink cartridges - i.e., volume. Time is not a factor in how much ink is included. Finally, the build quality of the printer is disappointing - although I find this to be true of most printer brands and models these days. Everything seems to be made of extra-flimsy, thin plastic. Time will tell whether it holds up. I would have given 4 or 5 stars for the "Quality" rating if the rating were limited to print quality, but I had to deduct for perceived build quality.

I’m very happy with the quality of my new printer except. However it occasionally drops the wi-fi connection. This means I can only give it four stars. Perhaps it does not reset after a power outage.
