Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Office Jet Pro 8135e by HP is convenient to have in the home office for the occasional necessary documents and useful to have for photo prints. A printer is not something I need to use everyday but is it still something I need to use regularly despite being digital for so many things. It has multifunctions that are necessary for a home office (it can scan, print and copy). While we can now scan documents with cell phones, a dedicated scanner is still useful to scan large documents with the document top feeder and the flat bed is especially useful for scanning old photographs and other documents that you want ultimate quality. The color touch screen is responsive and has a relatively simple interface. It feels well made and not flimsy. It does have a large horizontal footprint that gets even larger with the pull out tray. This is definitely not a space saving machine even though it is not very high vertically considering all its functions. The set-up is not too difficult but does require using an app or software to do so. It also depends on what devices you plan to use with the printer. I found that setting it up for use on a laptop wirelessly was pretty straight forward but more involved for tablets and phones. The wireless capabilities makes it easy to print anywhere in the house, so I am not limited on where I can put the printer other than needing it to have a good wifi signal. I did find that the power cord to be short and I needed an extension cord, which was a bit annoying. The benefit of using this inkjet printer over a laser printer is that this printer has more versatility in printing things in color such as photos and art projects. It is nice to be able to use this printer to print photos at home. I found the color and vibrancy in the prints to be good quality. It is convenient to be able to make a print and immediately be able to edit photos as desired for the next copy. I also like that this printer has double sided printing capabilities so I don’t have to reinsert documents and remember which ways to load it to have the other side printed. It does take a bit of time for the printer to turn on and warm-up but I don’t mind as it is only a minute or two. Ink: Unfortunately, this printer like most HP printers has a lot of limitations on the type of ink that is allowed to be used. You can only use HP branded cartridges that contain a chip in it or subscribe to Instant Ink (HP’s cartridge subscription service). The printer comes with 3 months free of Instant Ink but the cartridge will no longer function once you stop paying the monthly fee and you are limited on how many pages you can print each month. You pay monthly depending on the tier you choose. Furthermore, the printer only comes with starter ink cartridges that are only a small portion of a full cartridge, which means relatively immediately, you have to subscribe to a monthly ink service or buy a full set of ink cartridges. The starter cartridges are barely enough to print a few lengthy documents and are an environmental waste of the cartridge. I don’t like feeling so limited in what type of ink or how much I can print each month and having another recurring monthly bill, especially when my printing needs change every month. This is a well made inkjet printer that gives you all the scanning and printing functions you need for a home office. I would recommend it if you do not mind being limited by the type of ink cartridges you can use but perhaps pass if you have large print needs and don’t like to be restrained by having a monthly subscription or purchasing constantly from HP.

When it comes to printers, the advancements in technology has not come very far. Considering that this is a Office Jet Pro model, you now have access to office level printing and scanning in the comfort of your home. Consider this printer if you are a work from home employee and are looking for office level features and speed. This has come in handy so far when printing out work documents and presentations. Even flow of the jets allow for clear colors and crisp lines. Given the cost of most things now a days, ink is something to always pay close attention to. Currently, HP is offering their color cartridges for $16 and black cartridges for $31. I would feel comfortable with these prices right now but it is also awesome that they have a renewal service that you can pay monthly for your ink. Pros: -Easy to setup and use. The HP Smart app allows for quick access to scan, print, fax and setup custom shortcuts to Cloud services. -Available Ink renewal plans is nice to have for power users. -Fast, double sided printing/scanning is hands off. Cons: -Still takes up footprint for home office. -Could be quieter but this is subjective.

Easy to set up. Compared to earlier model this is light weight; almost too much. Works well although instructions on various options of printing need to be clear and easily accessible.

I compared many printers online before I settled on this one and I am glad that I did! The online setup instructions were clear and easy to follow. I have had no problems using it - the colors are vibrant I have had no problems with any of the functions and highly recommend this printer!

I had to download the "HP Smart" app to use this printer from my cell phone. You can change all the printer settings that you wouod have on the printer's touch screen. I twsted the speed, and this HP printed 11 pages in 1:08, or about 1 page per 6.2 seconds. Black ink text only. It did take about 1 minute more just to go through HP servers. HP offers a free service called HP+ , which unlocks more features for the printer, such as cloud based printing (printing from anywhere), it extends your warranty, and enables you to get 3 free months of ink under a suscription called HP Instant Ink (which auto renews after 3 months). Thats what makes this printer different. HP instant ink is basically paying per printed page based on a set amount per month so HP tries to send you the new ink cartridges before you run out. While there are benefits to this suscription model, the problem is that once you register for the free HP+, you can't unregister, meaning HP has access to your printer's statistics. In addition, you will never be able to use aftermarket cartridges. Their HP Instant Ink program may work well for some, just realize any page printed (even if its just a few words) counts against your alloted number of printed pages. Because of all this, I did not register for HP+ or HP Instant Ink, since my printing habits do not warrant my usage of those. However, if you want a printer that you dont have to worry about running out of ink and you have a predictable number of pages you print per month, and you can print from the cloud, this may work well for you. Even without HP+, wireless capabilites are good, enabling me to print from and control the printer from my phone or any other wireless device.

One of the upsides of most HP products I've used over the years is that they are very reliable. I've only once had to actually replace a unit because it just wasn't worth repairing. That was in a very high use environment. Why do I mention this? It's because it means I've had lags in experiencing tech improvements. In this case, I've been using the same multi-function unit at my home office for 5 years. It still works, but I felt like splurging to enjoy a new product. First, the set-up of the printer and app has vastly improved since my prior model. The HP Smart app is helpful, though still a bit cumbersome due to recommended security settings. I do appreciate how it helps with WiFi set-up on particular. You can still connect via USB and Ethernet. Apple AirPrint and Mopria (never used that one) are supported. Printing and scanning via the HP Smart app is easy, though I found it to be slow in communicating. A little frustrating. Once running, I pulled out the tray and catch and ran some test prints. Quality is on-par for a SoHo device. Printing speed was good-to-fast, depending on desired quality and whether you're using the duplex feature. Color printing for me was only around 10% slower than black. Scanning is via flatbed or multipage feeder. Unfortunately it doesn't duplex scan. The control display touch panel is simple. Some icons are intuitive, others are not. I found the response a bit slow. Also frustrating. Finally, the cartridges are small, but seem to have reasonable print output. This model encourages you to participate in HP's Instant Ink Service. If you opt-in, the printer communicates with HP when ink is running low and HP automatically sends replacements. Interesting, but not tested.

This an all-in-one printer can print, scan, copy, and fax documents. It's super easy to use and fast while still being very quiet. The HP OfficeJet Pro 8135e is a good option for your home or even a small office. It's also relatively compact and lightweight, making it easy to fit on a desk or shelf. It comes with 3 months of ink also!

Stability, great graphics. Easy setup. Not forgetting that is not noisy when in use.

Exactly what I needed! Works perfect and extremely easy/fast set up for wireless use. Wonderful product!

Fairly easy to set up. Prints clearly. Easy to use display.

The HP OfficeJet Pro 8135e Wireless Printer is easy to set up and prints, copies, and scans with ease and great quality.

I needed a basic color printer for my personal use, so I sat on the floor at Best Buy and studied every printer in stock. I chose this HP model and I have been very pleased. The print quality is great, and it’s quiet and user-friendly. I also like the sleek, compact design.

Unboxing and removing tape in the various places is a breeze. Going to app or URL on computer and you get walked through the setup process. Connecting via Wi-Fi, and loading paper is straightforward, and the cartridges snap in in the usual fashion. Then the printer aligns the cartridges and prints a test page. If using a PC, install software, and you can even opt for automatic ink shipments based on print quantity; can use USB or android app, or Apple Air print. The control panel is small, but colorful and will display quite a number of functions. There is also a top feeder document feeder. I did some document printing, and it seemed the printer spooled up just a little slower than my other printer, but the print quality was exceptional. Scanning was perfect, and again quality was good. Then did a high quality picture on plain paper and just normal quality, and even that came out well. Based on this rudimentary test, I am sure on photo quality, and photo paper, printing photos would turn out great quality. I highly recommend as a cost effective home or home office printer.

Very nice machine. Easy set up. Good clear print. Great price.

Starting the set up of the printer was really simple. Scan a QR code provided in the Quick Start guide and you're on your way with setting up wifi, installing cartridges, and aligning the printer. The frustration came after the set up when trying to print. I attempted to print a photo and I got an error "printer blocked" so I tried to diagnose but couldn't find a block. I tried printing a document and I ran into the same issue. I cleared the cache from the app, restarted It, turned off the printer, turned it back on and tried again. This time printer could not be found and wifi had disconnected so I had to manually reconnect it from the printer itself. The touchscreen had a really bad lag when scrolling but finally connected. I tried with my smartphone again but same issue. I gave up trying to use the app on my smartphone and moved onto my PC. I was finally able to print when using the PC and the quality of my photo was good so I scanned it to see if quality remained and it did. Documents also print at a quick enough rate with great clear quality prints. The printer also auto detects a change in paper and gives you the option to switch before moving on. The feeder itself fits a large stack of paper so reloading it often isn't necessary. Overall, when it works, it's great but when it doesn't it's frustrating and I seem to always have this issue with the Office Jet Pro line of HP printers so for that reason it gets 3 stars instead of 4. If the print with the phone through the app works, it would add to productivity and efficiency in my life but for now, it's just another printer.

Prints faster than the previous model. Only cons is that takes long to progress a document that is being received from a cell phone.

A little trouble getting it to connect to my new HP laptop but once my son figured out how it has been great

The HP Office Jet Pro 8135e is a wireless all-in-one printer designed for Home Office use. It works with PC, Mac, or Smart-phone, and supports wireless and USB connection. What It Comes With Inside the box you will find the printer, 4-ink cartridges, power cord and instructions. A USB-A cord connection is supported, but does not come with the printer. Packaging I wanted to mention the packaging on this product, because I was really impressed. This has some of the best user-friendly packaging that I have seen in a while. It was adequate enough to protect the product, and I was actually able to get it out of the box without tearing the box apart. The biggest help was that HP put the printer in a “bag” with handles. You could pull it out easily. There was additional package in the ink and paper tray areas that simply made sense. Simple things that manufacturers should be doing make a noticeable difference to me. Installation The printer is a basic unit and the setup should be easy. I had trouble with the software on multiple computers, so the installation took a long time. As far as the all-in-one unit goes, it wasn’t difficult. The printer is fully assembled. Connect the power cord, turn it on, insert the ink cartridges, and load the paper tray. All of this was straight forward. Difficulty came with loading the application to my computers. I tried to install this on two laptops and a desktop. (There’s an option to install it on a mobile device, but I am not interested in printing from my phone.) The first laptop (Dell Win10) would not install the device. It already had the HP Smart app from a work computer, but it would not add the new printer. We eventually gave up on it, and moved to the next laptop. This computer still cannot print to the printer. The second was a Dell Win11 laptop. It eventually connected and printed, but it was after hours of trying. First, the printer was connected to the Wi-Fi (Eero 6e Pro router), but the laptop would say that the printer wasn’t connected. I could see that it was through my router’s app, so I know that was incorrect. Once the app showed that it was connected it was really finicky about what it printed. Word documents wouldn’t print in color, but a PDF or internet document would. The third computer that I connected to was an iBuyPower desktop running Win11. Installing the app on this didn’t instill any confidence. It just didn’t seem like it wanted to install on anything. I did finally get the computer to add the printer through print settings, but that’s what the 139 MB of HP app are supposed to do. In fact, the first time that I went to the start-up address it wouldn’t even load. HP needs to spend some time developing the app more. It doesn’t need to be inflated with more options or sales pages. There should be virtually no lag to go between print options. It just needs to work as expected. Features These are some of the all-in-one’s features: • Black and white printing • Up to 20 pages per minute B&W, 10 pages per minute in Color • Wireless and Wired connection through cord • 2-sided printing • Paper tray loading up to 225 sheets • Automatic document feeder up to 35 sheets • Front loading for paper/envelopes • Mobile device printing • Printing resolution up to 1200 x 1200 dpi for B&W, 4800 x 1200 dpi for color • Copier Resolution up to 600 dpi in B&W or Color • Scanner feeding through Sheetfed or Flatbed • Integrated Fax Line Quality/Speed of Printing The print quality was as-expected. Printing the page was normal. Specs say that the first print should take less than 14 seconds. Additional sheets in the same print job are quicker. Ink This came with 4 ink cartridges in the box; 3 colors and a black. I printed roughly 6 sheets of non-saturated documents with some color. That was enough for the ink estimator to show that ink was used. The ink does not appear to last long with this printer. I’m giving the HP Office Jet Pro 8135e All-in-one a rough 3 stars. The printer / copier / scanner / fax machine appears to do everything in a very typical manner, nothing special. The application installation was terrible, and needs to be addressed by HP. It’s too finicky, takes too long, and just doesn’t work as well as it should. The ink draw was also not impressive.

i have been very pleased with the printer, fax, scan. Very efficient I have always used HP Printers and highly recommend

I’ve been using this printer for a while now and honestly, it’s been amazing. It works exactly how it should—no weird errors, no paper jams, and no random connection issues like I’ve had with other printers in the past. Setup was super straightforward, and printing is always fast and clear. Whether I’m printing documents, photos, or scanning stuff, it handles everything smoothly. It’s reliable, consistent, and has never given me a single problem. Definitely one of the best tech purchases I’ve made!
