HP - Photosmart Plus Special Edition Wireless e-All-In-One Printer

Bought this printer after the printer I had for about 8 years died. Primary use was for printing documents when I need them. School Papers, work if needed and a picture now and then. Relatively compact design for an All-in-one. Set-up was easy. Took about a 30 min from unpacking to printing wirelessly. May take longer for those that don't have a basic understanding of networking. Software helps you get through it though. Print speed is about average, I wasn't looking for print speed anyway so I'm not going to hold it against it. B&W Printing was fast enough. The wireless was key for me. We have multiple computers and portable devices (Desktops, Laptops, Tablets, Phones, Etc...). The wireless made the networking easy and let me locate the printer in a better location for everyone. Print quality is solid. Printed a nice HQ photo from DSLR with edge-2-edge printing with very little lose in resolution. This is a good home printer for the price. Especially, with multiple devices. The only cons I would give is that it's a little loud but not enough to be an issue. The touch screen was a little spastic at times and had some issues with getting it to respond near the edges. Powered it down and didn't have an issue. We'll see if that happen again

I've seen a lot of mixed reviews. The only thing I'm fearing is that a few months in it will stop powering on or grinding, like many people have said. However, I've had it for a month, it's great. This is my first wireless printer and it took me about 5 minutes to set up my computer. Here is what I'm running on this printer, all print flawlessly and I've never had one issue which each device. - PS3 - iMac - Macbook - 2 iPhones It wirelessly connects to ALL of these, without needing to initialize with USB connection. It is incredible what can be done with this printer. I have not tried any of the apps or ingrained features, but this gets the job done. I had an HP before and it lasted 6 years. The only flaw I can see right now is that it shakes violently like all HP's. It is securely placed on top of a stable surface but man does it shake side to side. It does print quick on word files, but of course it's average on photos. I like the design, and I have only had one jam so far, and I believe it was due to a paper crease. Also, the touch screen isn't as responsive as say a Droid or iPhone interface, it's more like those PIN screens you use at the gas station, there's some latency there. Another thing you should know about me: I take excellent care of my electronics. I don't put them in hot spaces. I don't set them down on carpet. I dust them every 2-3 weeks, including canned air in the vents and moving parts if needed. I take care of whatever I buy, even if it's a cheap or expensive piece. I have found that in electronic reviews people often go far off the handle about products that don't work. Sure there are bad apples but I have had good experiences with HP. Printers don't jam if you line the paper up correctly, keep them in ventilated spaces, and replace cartridge and clean heads every once in a while. Also, if you think you need to buy a $300 printer to print stuff for the living room or office you're sadly mistaken, this will do the job just fine. People say "you get what you pay for" and I would agree, but this little $100 machine is doing just fine.

I read the mixed reviews on here and I was a little hesitate to buy. I received the item as a gift and was able to pick it up at the store. (Easy store pickup by the way). Some of the reviews said, "it's hard to install...blah, blah, blah." Well, it took me maybe 30 minutes. It was SO easy! all you have to do is FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS. I have a Macbook Pro and had no issues with installing and connecting to wireless. I was able to scan, copy, eprint and print all with in 5 minutes. The quality of the photos are great. It even looked better than the glossy photo I scanned then printed. Eprint was a snap and the picture printed "magically" on its own. Some reviews have complained about it being a little noisy, look...I had the old Photosmart series before this one and THAT was a noisy machine. Sure you hear it scan, you hear it pick up paper and you hear it print...who cares. It's a great printer at a great price!

This is a fabulous printer for me. I am involved in a lot of activities and I am a student so I'm always needing to print something. This printed has been a dream for me. First is it wireless, so if I'm studying in another room and can send it to the printer and by the time I walk to the other room it's done. Second, I love the scan feature. I can scan in my notes and share them, or scan in things to store on my laptop. And it is totally easy to use the scanner. Third, it has it's own email address so I can send things from work to my home printer. Fourth, it uses CMYK rather than RGB print cartridges. You replace the colors that you use the most and don't waste as much ink. It's a little more pricey for the individual colors, but you save in the long run. Last, as a busy mom of 5 I use a lot of coupons. This printer comes with coupon printer drivers already installed. The only downside I've found is that it makes a lot of noise and takes a little bit of time "setting up" to start my print job.

The printer is great! It was easy to set up and it performs really well. The print quality is pretty much what you would expect from a deskjet printer. The photo quality is pretty good too. The best thing about the printer is that it has its own email address where you can send documents to and it will print them all for you. No need to fire up the computer at home, just send the document from the computer at school! The only downside is that if you are printing from home it does take about half a minute or so for the printer to receive all the data to print, however once it starts it prints very quickly. Overall, its a great printer for the price it was sold for.

This printer is great for the price. I work in IT and setup printers all the time, this was so easy that my 10 year old son could do it. Can print from all 4 of my computers which include Win7, Vista, and XP. Also prints from iPhone and iPad with ease, both apple products found the printer with no problem. Connected to my wireless router in about 4 minutes with no problem at all. With this printer on sale for $99.00 you can't go wrong. Even at $149.00 it is still a good deal. Plus, with it being wireless you can put it anyplace in your house! I have had minor issues with HP in the past, but they did well on this printer.

Purchsed this for me and my wife, and this printer is fast. I was able to add it to my network with no problem at all. I think that this is a great printer for somone thats on a budget that wants a good print device.

I purchased this specifically for photo printing but use it for miscellaneous printing as well. I have not been disappointed with my purchase! I have had it for 4 months now and still have not had to replace the provided cartridges even with the heavy print traffic I have put it through. Print speed is quite good. I have it linked to my Linksys Wireless G router and am able to send pictures from my iPhone directly to the printer from my son's house 15 miles away! My pictures are ready when I get home. I LOVE this printer!
