HP - OfficeJet Pro 9015 Wireless All-In-One Instant Ink Ready Inkjet Printer - Gray

Printer’s are a necessary evil for home life and can be difficult to work with. This HP 9015 Printer really breaks that mold by being so easy to use that it doesn’t feel like a nuisance to use! PROS: - The Printer is very well designed! I like the white/gray design and although it has a lot of features, it still feels compact and just blends in with your home or office by not being an eyesore. - Setting up was very easy! After turning on and putting the ink in, I used the HP Smart App from my iPad. This App made it very smooth and easy to use. Very happy with the setup! - After setting up, this printer is easily accessible through WiFi from any Windows 10 computer as well as my phone/iPad with the HP Smart App. So printing/scanning was very easy after that! - To be clear: you do not NEED the HP Smart App to print from a mobile device. I was able to print over WiFi with my iPad Pro without using the App. So you can print without the app but using other features via a mobile device you need the HP Smart App. - Can confirm this printer prints double sided!! Nice feature! - Overall it has a lot of nice features needed for a home/office printer. Print’s fast with no errors, scanner, and copier. It will be very useful. CONS: - I like how everything is wireless but if for some reason you wanted a hard connection (which you can do), you would have to buy the cord separately . The Printer only comes with Power Cord and Ink. - I can’t think of many. For the price it takes care of everything I need. BOTTOM LINE: For my uses, this printer hits everything on the head. It’s ease of use is truly great and makes printing/scanning a seamless process.

I am coming from a Brother printer that is pushing 10 years old at this point. It held up well over time but I was due for a more modern upgrade. Initial setup of this HP Officejet Pro was quick and easy. The mobile application and Windows HP Smart software was easy to use, and I had my printer connected to my wireless network and Google Drive in minutes. Prints are crisp, clear, and fast. I also noticed that this unit works fairly quietly, which is nice. Scanning features are great, and easy to perform with the mobile app, save as a pdf, and email without having to use a computer. The computer software is also full-featured, but it is convenient to control everything from a phone in front of the printer as well. Options and settings can be changed on the fly without walking back and forth to your computer. The touchscreen interface on the printer is quick and easy, reminds me of an older Android phone, it works well. Overall I am happy with this printer and would recommend it to anyone running a small business, or just needs a step up in quality and features for overall home use.

I bought this all in one printer when it became difficult to buy ink for my last printer. Installation is easy, paper jams are easy to clear, prints clearly and quickly, scans better than my last printer.

Was very unsure of which printer to go with, but HP was recommended by a fellow teacher and it has been wonderful. It is a perfect size and handles everything I need to do. Will always purchase HP printers in the future.

I need to return this printer it is working properly. It doesn’t print it will print 3 or 5 days later..

The HP Officejet Pro 9015 is a great all around printer for home use, though I doubt it's full suite of features would be used in an office environment. The smart app with tasks is great for organizing your printed info, it sends the printed material in an email to you. Everything is accessible from your phone and the UI is very straight forward. It does a great job scanning and emailing PDFs. I had some issues printing 2 sided material; the bottom corner of the page left a smudge from the feed wheel on both flyers granted they were color intensive, but never seen on other printers. A nice printer for most normal tasks and with the help of the HP Smart app, a few more neat tricks. I'm not buying into the instant ink subscription because it's a subscription and something to plan to pay. There are many options and if you only do up to 15 pages a month, it's free. If you do a plan and forget to pay, they disable your printer until you do. So it's great for small offices who will use it frequently and not have to worry about the hassle of going out to buy more ink, saving money in the process.

PROS Fast. Good print quality overall. Competitive running costs. Borderless printing. 35-sheet auto-duplexing ADF. Attractive, compact build. CONS Only one paper input source.

Thee are two parts to this review. The first part is about the printer itself, how it functions, its hardware, and its overall quality. The second part is about HP’s new Instant Ink replacement subscription plan. The plan may not be for everyone. Fortunately, if you want the printer because of its features and functionality, you can choose to buy replacement ink cartridges from any store as needed. Part 1. This is a well-functioning, good quality, and sleek looking all-in-one. This model is replacing another HP All-In-One (OfficeJet 7310) that’s been my office printer for the last 15 years. It’s almost unfair to compare the two because the new model runs smoother and is so much faster. The printing output was sharp and clean. This is expected when using HP certified ink cartridges. The fax portion works as usual. And the copy and scanning functions work efficiently. I was particularly interested in how well the scanning features work on this model. I was pleased to see that the scanner could copy a double-sided document and send it to the computer in a well put together PDF. I do a lot of scanning, so I wanted to make sure this process was fast and easy; it was. Just an FYI, this model (9015) does have a duplex scanner built into the automatic document feeder (ADF), but it accomplishes the scanning of both sides by passing the document over the scanner twice. It’s a seamless process, but I believe it’s different from the next model up. The higher model can scan both sides of a document with a single pass. Both models produce the same result, just the higher model saves a few seconds by using dual scanner heads to scan the front and back at the same time. Not a deal breaker for me, but this small difference may be of importance to others depending on the use or application of the scanner. Like the scanning process, this machine easily produces quick double-sided copies when needed. To accomplish this, you can either use the handy, but small touch screen located on the front of the printer, or on your desktop by downloading HP’s Smart printer application from the Microsoft store. The installation of the program was quick, and it contains easy to use options to print, copy, scan, fax all from within the computer. As I mentioned before, the same functions can also be accessed from the color touch screen attached to the printer. Installation and setup were easy. Again, this can be accomplished using the HP Smart application or for those who prefer to setup this printer using their cell phone, that option is available too. To do so, you download the HP Smart app on your phone and follow the steps to connect your printer. I should note here that the Smart HP app does contain similar functionality as the desktop version of the app, but some advanced features are missing. For example, you can initiate a scan from within the phone app, but the ability to scan both sides was not available. Whereas, this feature is easily found on the desktop version of the app. The good news is, these inconsistencies can eventually be fixed with an update to the phone app if HP chooses to do so in the future. My final note about the printer itself, has to do with its style/looks. It’s a very modern and clean looking all-in-one. While looks may not be at the top of people’s minds when looking for an all-in-one, this model will definitely look good sitting on your desk or out in an open area. It’s minimalist design, and clean white panels with squared edges add to a professional office or environment. Part 2. This printer is being advertised as an “Instant Ink Ready Printer.” What that label is telling you is that this printer has the ability to work with HP’s new automatic ink ordering subscription program. Rather than buying ink when you run out, HP now offers a subscription service that includes ink, shipping, and recycling for a monthly fee. Depending on how much you use your printer, this may or may not be a beneficial program for you. There are various subscription levels that cost as low as $2.99 a month up to $19.99 a month for heaving printing. The main difference between the levels is the max number of pages you’re allowed to print before incurring additional charges. The $2.99 level allows for 50 printed pages per month, and $1 for every additional 10 pages. Whereas, the $19.99 level allows up to 700 printed pages per month, and $1 for every additional 20 pages. Participating in this program shifts your concept of replacing ink for your printer. If you have a good sense of how many pages you print each month, this program may save you money in the long run because you’re not purchasing individual ink cartridges anymore. Again, the replacement ink cartridges are included as part of the monthly subscription price. However, if you’re unsure of your monthly printing needs, or are someone who hardly prints, this program may not be suited for you. It’s important to note a few additional things. HP does offer a free monthly plan. It’s capped at 15 pages per month with the extra $1 for an additional 10 pages. However, the free plan is only offered on select HP Instant Ink printers that retail for $99 or less. So, if you’re interested in this option, Best Buy also sells these printers. Just remember, the cheaper the printer, the less functionality it has. And the quality and speed are a lot lower. If you feel you need a robust all-in-one, it’s probably best to consider this model type. Additional things to consider is, printing double-sided documents count as two pages. And if you end up not using up your allotted printing amount, the plan does allow you to rollover up to twice your monthly allotment. Meaning, if you have a 50 page a month plan, you can rollover up to 100 pages total each month. The exception to the rollover rules is the free monthly plan. Rollover is not offered for the free plan. To recap, the new subscription service sends you ink as you need it. The software on the printer communicates with HP to let them know when you may be getting low and replacement ink is immediately shipped to you. This doesn’t mean new ink cartridges will arrive every month, but rather the software determines when your printer begins to get low on ink. How does it do this, you may ask. I believe I read somewhere that the software calculates your monthly average and initiates replacement ink shipping when you reach half of that amount. Its goal is to anticipate your ink needs so you don’t run out. How well it does this, I’m not sure. I haven’t been in the program long enough to know. My guess is that unless you have an extreme printing emergency, the system will send you ink before you run out. And finally, if you do have an extreme printing emergency, you can always go to the store and purchase the same ink cartridges you’d normally get through the service. The 9015 model uses 962 cartridges. This line of cartridge is sold in individual colors (black, red, blue, and yellow). The standard size cartridge (not the XL size) retails for around $23 as of this writing. It’s nice that the individual cartridges are not as expensive as some of HP’s other cartridges. Buying cartridges as you need them is the traditional way of replacing ink. It’s good to know that this option is still available. If you elect to replace your ink the traditional way, you don’t have to signup and use the Instant Ink service. Any pages you print are not counted, and you are free to print until you run out of ink. Since you’re not part of the subscription plan, you’ll just need to purchase replacement cartridges at full price from the store of your choosing. I personally always prefer to stick with HP ink because it truly does produce the cleanest, accurate, and most vibrant colors for my documents and photos. This is my preference, but everyone does have different printing needs. I hope I answered all your questions about this new service offered by HP. These were the things I discovered when I began looking into this plan. I was really confused at first, but since I explored many of the details of the program, I figured I’d share it here as part of my review.
