Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have been using this HP Smart Tank 7303 All-in-One Printer for the last 2 weeks and it's honestly exceeded my expectations. It has been one of the easiest and user-friendly printer I have used at home. I mainly used it to print important documents, regular scanning, making copies, and printing family photos and it handled all tasks with ease. The setup was much easier than I expected and filling the ink tanks was simple because the bottles were made to fit perfectly. The process was clean and effortless. Another step was to connect the printer to my home network which took only a few minutes and once it was connected everyone could print from their phones or devices without needing cables. Not to mention the quality of the prints that are picture perfect. The black text comes out looking sharp and easy to read even on normal paper. Color prints are bright and look clean without fading. I, myself, printed a couple photos and they came out looking nice and pleasant. They are perfect for family photos, albums, school projects, or crafts. One thing I liked was the automatic double sided printing. I don't print lots of documents but not having to flip through the pages manually saves both time and effort. The paper tray holds plenty of papers so I don't need to constantly refill it. The scanning is made simple as I can scan multiple pages using the automatic document feeder and it works smoothly without getting stuck. The scanned files come out looking clear and easy to read. Making the copies is straightforward as well. Another great feature of this printer is how quiet it is. It also prints fast so I'm never left waiting for long. My favorite part is the ink tank system. After two weeks of regular use, the ink levels have pretty much stayed the same. If you print often for work, school, or home this saves a lot of money compared to replacing the traditional ink cartridges all the time. I like that it works with all kinds of paper sizes. Printing the standard documents or envelopes works great as well as the greeting cards and borderless photos without the need to change too many settings. Just a couple of things to note is that the display screen is basic so I had to rely on a laptop or phone for most settings. Second, this is slightly larger than a compact printer so more space is needed on the desk. Overall, after using this printer, I am very happy with it. It prints clear, sharp, and easy to read documents. The ink tanks give peace of mind because of how long it lasts and printing is relatively fast. If you're looking for a dependable printer with great quality then I think this an excellent choice with a great value.

I’ve been wanting to try out a tankless printer, the idea of filling up the printer via bottle of ink sounds better than fighting with finding an “official” cartridge that works for your printer. HP hasn’t been on my list of suggested printers for many years due to issues with subscriptions and getting ink, but with a Tankless printer I thought I could give them a go. I decided to pick up the HP Smart Tank 7303 All-In-One Printer as my first tankless trial. Pros: - Easy guided setup via the HP App. - Easy to refill ink via bottles. - Compact with small footprint. Cons: - None Setup: HP knows how to package their printers, the outside of my box looked like it had taken quite a beating, but the printer and accessories were completely untouched. There are multiple cardboard spacers and light blue tapes holding the printer components in place that must be removed prior to use. Included in the box is the Smart Tank 7303 All-In-One Printer, 4 bottles of Ink, 2 Printer heads, and a power cable. The Printer weighs about 17lbs, with a fully expanded footprint of 17.8in by 17.3in by 9.8in. Both the front and top paper trays have paper catches that flip out if needed. I used my phone to perform the initial setup, as I intend to have this printer setup for the wireless network mainly. Initial Setup was an easy guided process, though I did have to restart the printer after turning it on for the first time for the HP app to find it on the initial setup. Otherwise, the app guides you through the setup from removing the temporary spacers to filling the Ink, overall, the setup was very painless, I was done in less than 30 minutes. Adding the printer to additional devices was just as simple. On a mobile device, using the HP app, adding the printer via the “+” sign at the top of the app screen and selecting “Add an existing printer”, then following the guided setup. On a PC, it was even easier using just the built-in Windows “Add Printer”, if your device is on the same wireless network. I had no issues connecting additional devices after the initial setup. Software: The HP app is easy to navigate, with the printer setup right on the home page when you open the app. As mentioned, the initial guided setup was very easy with clear step by step visual instructions. After the initial setup, the App provides details about the printer such as status and ink levels right from the home page. Clicking on the Printer provides access to additional options like Scanning and Printing, with specific options for each. Connectivity: The Smart Tank 7303 Printer supports Wireless and Wired connections; I was able to test each with no noticeable issues. For Wired connection, both USB and Ethernet are available. Cables are not included. For Wireless, Wi-Fi 2.4GHz and 5GHz connectivity are supported along with Wi-Fi direct, in the case where you want to directly connect to the printer wirelessly. Printing & Scanning: The HP Smart Tank 7303 prints great, both in black & white and color. I was most impressed with the color photo printing, as even printing on standard paper, the image came out clearly, and the picture did not smear. I’m looking forward to trying out some photo papers I’ve got coming. Speed wise, the printer can do up to 15 pages per minute in black & white, and 9 pages per minute in color. This is plenty good for a home inkjet-style printer. Scanning as well worked great; I liked that I could scan the documents directly to my phone when using the HP app. This was convenient for printing, signing, and scanning documents to send, as everything could be done from my phone without the need for a PC. Ink: HP includes 4 bottles of ink with the Printer, enough to fully fill all the tanks. HP makes the claim that it is “3 years’ worth” of ink, but your results will vary based on your usage. The good news is that at least if there is any ink inside the tanks, it won’t dry out within those 3 years as each tank is sealed from the air which keeps the ink fresh. No more going to print to only find out that your ink cartridge has dried out. Filling the tanks is easy, just open internal compartment of the printer, the lid under the scanning deck to expose both the ink wells and printer heads. Then flip up the little cap of the corresponding ink tank you want to fill: Black, Teal, Yellow, Magenta. Under the clear caps is a little punch that you align the ink bottles onto and push down; they will slowly drain while the ink well on the front of the printer fills up. If you follow the guided setup in the HP app it will walk you through the steps to fill the ink and install the ink heads. Similarly, the ink jet heads can be easily replaced by releasing them and snapping in a new one. Even better, I was able to find 3rd party ink available that likely work for this HP printer! Unlike cartridge systems that can check if you’re using official ink, the smart tank doesn’t seem to have any system for verifying the type of ink being used. But caution should be taken when using 3rd Party Ink, as quality can become an issue which could lead to lower quality prints and clogged heads, which would require replacement. Conclusion: For an HP Printer, I’m very impressed. I had no issues getting the printer setup and printing works great. The color photo printing is very impressive; I’ve got some photo paper on the way to test out more. The fact you don’t have to use only HP Ink puts the Smart Tank 7303 on my list of recommended printers, the first HP printer in a long time.

- Introduction - I've gone through a lot of printers over the years, and the thing that can be frustrating is the ink. You buy the printer, then you keep buying cartridges, and they're never cheap and constantly running out. The HP Smart Tank 7303 handles that differently. Instead of cartridges it uses refillable tanks built into the front, and it comes with enough ink in the box to last a long time before you have to refill. It prints, scans, and copies, and it's aimed at a household that runs through a good amount of prints. In my household, it's work and productivity, school projects, personal documents for my family, and printing our family photos. Here's what I think. - Unboxing - The HP Smart Tank 7303 comes with the printer and the ink to get started. The color ink is the HP 31 set in yellow, magenta, and cyan, and the black is an HP 32XL bottle. There's no USB cable in the box, so if you want to plug straight into a computer instead of going wireless, you'll need your own. You can setup through the app on your phone (easiest) or on the computer. I was able to add through the HP app, setup my wireless connection, and I was printing fairly quick. Using the app on your phone is great for printing photos directly from your albums. - Design and Build - The footprint is about average for personal printers. It sits easily on a desk or a shelf. The body is white with a darker top. Up top there's an automatic document feeder, so you can insert a stack of pages in to scan or copy without feeding them one at a time. The control panel runs across the front and has a 2.8-inch LCD along with physical buttons. Having both the screen and real buttons makes it easy navigate and find what you need. The power button is on the left, and there's a Wi-Fi light that glows blue when it's connected. The part I like most is the ink setup. The tanks sit on the front right behind clear windows, so you can look at the printer and see how much ink is left. The ink bottles fit perfectly into each reservoir so you can't mix them up. It's actual ink in a liquid bottle that you can just attach and fill. The output tray pulls out from the front. - Setup/Performance - The two things that stand out most on this printer are how long the ink lasts and how much paper the tray holds. On the ink, if you print around 240 pages a month with a normal variety of prints, you're looking at roughly three years before you'd need to refill. Photos will use it up faster since they take more ink, but even then you still get a good number of prints out of it. On paper, the tray holds 250 sheets, which is about half a ream of copy paper, so you're not refilling it constantly. Setup was fast. I added the printer through the HP Smart app on my phone, and once that was done it showed up on my computer too. The phone walks you through finding the printer and getting it on your wireless, and the whole thing was easy. Print quality is very good. An 8.5 by 11" letter size page printed out quickly. Quality is great for basic light coverage prints all the way to full color glossy photos. The 7303 handles duplex printing easily so you don't have to manually flip it. The ADF is great for multi-part documents. Scanning is also a breeze. I've had a lot of frustration in the past getting the documents sent to my email, and this is intuitive and actually works well. It's also very quick. - Software - The HP Smart app is a big part of what makes this printer standout, and it does more than printing. It works as a central hub for everything, so you can print, scan, and copy straight from your phone or your computer. Scanning from the app is flexible, and you can save what you scan in a range of formats, from PDF and JPG and PNG to a searchable PDF or even an editable Word or plain text file. There's a large library of templates and projects you can print from, shortcuts for the things you do over and over, and access to the printer's status and diagnostics along with its warranty info. Color prints at 9ppm and B&W 15ppm. Those are just numbers but based on my printing from word documents to full page photos, this printer is fast. - Pros and Cons - - Pros - * Refillable tanks instead of cartridges, with levels you can see at a glance * Ink that lasts a long time, around three years at about 240 pages a month * Very good print quality, good enough to frame * Setup is simple, and can be completed on your phone * 250-sheet tray large capacity tray * HP app is really good * Screen and physical buttons together make it easy to navigate * Prints, scans, and copies, with an automatic document feeder and two-sided printing - Suggestions/Needs Improvement - * No USB cable in the box The HP Smart Tank 7303 does what I want a home all-in-one to do and has a ton of ink that will last you a while, even with heavy use. The tanks mean I'm not constantly buying cartridges, the included ink is set to last years, and the paper tray goes a long way between refilling the paper. Setup was quick, the print quality is good enough to frame, and the app makes the whole thing easy to run from my phone or computer. If you print a decent amount at home and you're tired of buying cartridges, this is an easy one to recommend, for printing, scanning, and copying. It's also quick with great quality.

After using the HP Smart Tank 7303 All-in-One Printer for a while, I've found it to be a good option for anyone who wants to keep printing costs down. It offers printing, scanning, and copying, includes an automatic document feeder, supports wireless connectivity, and allows you to print directly from your phone using the HP Smart app. The unboxing process took longer than I expected because HP uses a surprising amount of protective tape throughout the printer to keep everything secure during shipping. There are pieces of tape on nearly every moving part, both inside and outside the printer. Before powering it on, take your time and make sure you've removed every piece. The main selling points of this printer is the Smart Tank ink system. Instead of replacing expensive cartridges, you refill the tanks using ink bottles. HP claims the included ink can last up to three years if you're printing around 200 pages per month, which could save a lot of money over time. The refill bottles are designed to be mess-free, and while they do a pretty good job, I still managed to get a little ink on my hands during the initial fill. Fortunately, it washed off easily, so it wasn't a major issue. My biggest piece of advice for anyone buying this printer is to also purchase a USB-A to USB-B printer cable. If your internet goes down or you're trying to connect in an environment with complicated network authentication, having the cable can save you a lot of frustration. In my situation, our office Wi-Fi requires users to authenticate through a web browser before devices are allowed internet access. Since the printer can't complete that browser based login, I couldn't get it connected wirelessly. Thankfully, I had an extra USB-A to USB-B cable lying around. Once I connected the printer directly to my laptop, I was able to complete the setup through the HP Smart app without any problems. It's something many people won't need, but if you ever run into networking issues, you'll be glad you have one. Another thing worth mentioning is that some desktop features require creating an HP account before they'll work inside the HP Smart software. It only takes a few minutes, but it's something to be aware of before purchasing. The good news is that HP also offers the HP Smart app for both Android and iPhone, allowing you to print documents and photos directly from your phone, scan documents, and manage the printer without having to sit at your computer. When it comes to actual performance, the printer does an Ok job. HP rates it at approximately 15 pages per minute in black and 9 pages per minute in color. It's not the fastest printer on the market, but I think those speeds are fine for the average household or small office. Black text comes out sharp and easy to read, while color documents and graphics look good. The scanner also performs well. It captures full color documents clearly, and the 35-sheet automatic document feeder makes scanning or copying multiple page documents much easier than having to place every page individually on the flatbed. If you regularly scan paperwork, invoices, or contracts, the feeder is a feature you'll appreciate. The only limitation I noticed is that if you're scanning something that's printed edge to edge, the scanner doesn't capture all the way to the edges, leaving a slight border around the scan. Paper capacity is another area where this printer performs well. The main tray can hold up to 250 sheets of paper, so I don't have to constantly refill it, while the output tray can hold up to 100 printed sheets before needing to be emptied. Those capacities are more than enough for my everyday printing needs. One area where I think HP could have done much better is the printer's user interface. For a printer at this price point, I really expected some type of color touchscreen display. Instead, you're given a handful of buttons with indicator lights that aren't particularly intuitive. They don't do a great job of explaining what each button does at first glance, and I found myself avoiding the controls altogether. I ended up doing nearly everything through either the HP Smart app or my computer's print menu because it's simply much easier. A touchscreen would have made changing settings, configuring Wi-Fi, scanning, and managing the printer much more user friendly. Pros Ink costs with the Smart Tank refill system Prints, scans, copies, and includes a 35-sheet automatic document feeder Good print quality for both black-and-white and color documents Mobile printing with the HP Smart app Scanner produces clear, full-color scans Cons Setup can be difficult on Wi-Fi networks requiring browser-based authentication Strongly recommend having a USB-A to USB-B printer cable available as a backup Some desktop features require creating an HP account No touchscreen display Button-based interface isn't very intuitive Print speeds are adequate but not particularly fast Overall, I think the HP Smart Tank 7303 is a good all-in-one printer for anyone who prints on a regular basis and wants to save money on ink over the long term. It's a reliable printer that produces quality prints, handles everyday scanning and copying with ease, and should require far fewer ink refills than traditional cartridge-based printers.

I have been using the HP Smart Tank 7303 All-in-One Printer for more than a week, and it has proven to be an excellent choice for everyday printing needs. The standout feature is its refillable ink tank system, which significantly reduces printing costs compared to traditional cartridge-based printers. The included ink lasts a long time, making it a cost-effective option for families, students, remote workers, and small offices. The printer offers a complete set of productivity features, including printing, scanning, copying, automatic duplex printing, wireless connectivity, and a 35-sheet automatic document feeder. Print quality is consistently impressive with sharp black-and-white documents and vibrant, detailed color prints that are suitable for presentations, school projects, and occasional photo printing. I particularly impressed with the automatic duplex printing which helps save paper and the automatic document feeder, which makes scanning or copying multi-page documents quick and convenient. Wireless setup through the HP Smart app was straightforward and printing from both my laptop and smartphone has been seamless and reliable. The printer is also compact enough for a home office setup, and its touchscreen interface is intuitive and easy to navigate. Routine maintenance has been minimal, and overall performance has been amazing. The initial setup process does require some patience, especially when filling the ink tanks and aligning the printheads. However, this is a one-time task, and the long-term benefits far outweigh the initial effort. Overall, the HP Smart Tank 7303 delivers an excellent combination of high-quality printing, low operating costs, and practical productivity features. If anyone is looking for a reliable all-in-one printer that offers significant savings on ink without compromising performance, this model is an outstanding choice.

When someone is looking to update their old outdated printer, one of the main things to consider is the future planning of ink prices. HP helps eliminate that burden with allowing you to purchase ink bottles that are super easy to refill. This has always been on my mind as of late because it seems ridiculous to have to buy expensive ink cartridges after a few months even if you do not use your printer. As for this specific printer - The HP Smart tank 7303 is a good overall printer and scanner for those looking to print thousands of pages a month. HP recommends sticking to 400-800 pages of printing per month and a maximum of 5,000 pages in a given monthly cycle. The ink bottles themselves have a longevity of: HP 32XL 135-ml Black bottle (~6000 pages), HP 31 70-ml Cyan bottle (~8000 pages), HP 31 70-ml Magenta bottle (~8000 pages), HP 31 70-ml Yellow bottle (~8000 pages). Print speed is decent at 15ppm for black and 9ppm for color pages. Scanning at 1200dpi is always good. You can also copy and print up to 99 pages. As for setup, it took me a little bit to get the app to locate this device. I don't think the LCD on the printer is helpful much with providing useful information during setup. The printer button themselves seem standard but useless if you just use the app which seems easier to utilize.

I love this printer/scanner/ copier. It was very easy to set up, easy to print from the phone. Good colors. All you may need for home use.

easy to install. Prints well and quickly. Scanning is very easy.

I am far from tech savvy, but was able to get this up and running quickly. I love the more affordable ink option. Time will tell how long the ink lasts. Do far, so good.

This printer has been put to USE since we've got it. Printing curriculum, invoices and candle labels... There's never a dull day. I'm excited for the smart tank capabilities. This thing prints the fine print on my labels with no problems, very happy with this purchase so far!

Very easy setup guided by the online app. Works great so far.

I've only had the printer for two week, but it's been great. The photo prints look great and I love that ink is easy and cheap to use

The ink was the major point. Automatic document flipping and printing and scanning was the other features. Replacing a 6973 ink jet thay the blue nozzle was clogged and not functional

Installation a bit difficult print heads wouldn't out out until you put in the ink. Then uploading the firmware so that the printer connects. After all this is done, the HP printer works GREAT .

Excellent product with clear printing photos and easy to set up.

This printer works very well for me. Great print quality.

Small footprint, Bottled ink not cartridges, great photo quality at high print quality. Well worth the price.

The ink for this printer last a very long . Would highly recommend

Better off putting your money in the trash. First one w a s constantly hard faulting, needing to be unplugged for a few minutes and plugged back in to reset. Returned that one after a month for a new one (same make and model). My second brand new one of these still gets the same faults, but much less frequently. However, I can only print anything about half the time. It constantly throws errors uo on my computer, and it cuts out mid printing. Pages out of order when printing anything extensive. Hp software is the slowest and most likely to crash software available. Garbage.

I've been using this **HP** printer for a little over a week now, and so far I'm extremely impressed. Before I get into the details, I want to be transparent: **I'm a huge HP fan.** I've been buying HP printers for over 20 years because they've always been incredibly reliable for me. I still have an HP LaserJet that I purchased about 12 years ago, and it continues to work phenomenally. Because of those experiences, I might be a little biased. That said, if this printer had another company's name on it, my review after using it for the past week would still be the same—I just wouldn't have all those years of positive HP experience to mention. Setup was quick and straightforward, and I was printing within minutes. Print quality has been outstanding for both black-and-white documents and color prints. Text is crisp and sharp, and colors are vibrant and consistent. The refillable ink tank is one of my favorite features because it's easy to see the remaining ink levels, and I like knowing I won't be constantly replacing expensive cartridges. I've also used the scanner and copier throughout the week, and both have worked flawlessly. Wireless printing has been reliable from my devices, and I haven't experienced any connection issues. One thing I really appreciate is how simple the printer is to use. When my grandchildren come over, they're able to print what they need with just a few simple instructions from me. The controls are easy to understand, and they quickly become comfortable using the printer on their own. The printer operates quietly, responds quickly, and has been very easy to use every day. Although I've only owned it for a little over a week, my first impression couldn't be much better. If it proves to be as dependable as my previous HP printers, I expect to be using it for many years. Based on my experience so far, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, high-quality all-in-one printer with very low ink costs. **Pros** * Excellent print quality for both documents and color prints. * Very easy setup and intuitive operation. * Refillable ink tanks save money compared to traditional cartridges. * Ink levels are easy to monitor through the transparent tanks. * Reliable wireless printing with no connection problems during my first week. * Scanner and copier produce sharp, clean results. * Easy enough for family members—including my grandchildren—to use with minimal guidance. * Quiet operation. * Automatic document feeder is a great time saver for multi-page scanning and copying. * Automatic duplex (two-sided) printing helps save paper. * Compact design with a premium look and feel. **Cons** * Initial purchase price is higher than many cartridge-based printers. * Filling the ink tanks the first time takes a little longer than installing cartridges. * The printer is slightly larger than some entry-level all-in-one printers because of the ink tank design. * The HP Smart app has a lot of features, which may take a little time to learn if you're new to it. * Since I've only used it for a little over a week, I can't yet comment on its long-term reliability—but based on my past experience with HP, I'm optimistic.
