Customer Ratings & Reviews

The printer came nicely packaged, with plenty of packing materials keeping everything in place and snug. Included also with the printer is Setup Ink - which is enough to just whet your appetite. You will have to buy replacement ink ASAP or you will find yourself running out quickly after setup completes. Take time to make sure all the shipping materials are removed from the printer (blue tape, Styrofoam, etc.). Make sure you have a Smartphone and a computer with WIFI available and ready to connect to. If you do not have WIFI you will need an Ethernet cable or an old school printer cable. You will be using WIFI. First time the setup was simple. Follow along with the instructions, using your smartphone and the HP App or computer with the HP software downloaded. Install the ink, paper, and start setting up through the application. Scanning is easy, but the printer lacks scanning both sides automatically. You can do it but requires manual intervention. Setting up the printer includes copying and scanning too. The HP Smart App will ask you to set up an account during installation, which is a little annoying because I figure it is mostly for marketing purposes. The Smart App puts full control of the all-in-one printer into the palm of your hand. Tip: during setup, or before completing setup, check the firmware. Mine was out of date and I was able to update the firmware before completion, out of the box. The 4-ink cartridges make it easy to maintain and affordable. I recommend buying replacement ink at the time you buy the printer. The ink cartridges that come with the printer are just to start out with. They do not have as much ink in them as does the ink you buy separately. Black text printing is outstanding, and the color is jaw-dropping (on the right photo paper). Printing black text without graphics, on regular print paper is fast – 20 pages per minute fast. Color printing takes a bit of patience but is completely acceptable. The paper tray holds more than enough paper in it. If you need it to hold more, you have the wrong type of printer. Consider buying a Laser printer instead. Printing from a Smartphone works great, I have had zero trouble. Plain text printing is fast enough for my use, on regular paper. If you change the paper, or change the ink cartridges – do not forget to update the settings either on the printer LCD panel or through the HP APP. And as far as ink goes, only buy HP branded ink, and never attempt to refill cartridges. That is asking for trouble and a mess. The HP Instant Ink program is a clever idea if you do a bunch of printing. If you have a SOHO, then yes, it is money well spent. If the printer is for the family and used occasionally – I would personally avoid it. Final words about this printer are that it is well-made, I have had HP printers in the past and they have always served me well. I expect this one will too, and I recommend it. Check it out at Best Buy and ask for a demo.

30 plus years working IT, my first printers had ink ribbons and made a racket as they moved back and forth pressing ink dots onto the paper.. They’ve come a long way since then. I’ve had my share of types and brands, usually stuck with the cheap ink jets, and when they fail you toss them and buy a new one for about the price of a set of ink cartridges. I haven’t had an HP for a while so decided to splurge a little and try one again. First the good. There is a market for this type of printer. It’s all in one of course, print, copy, fax, scan. I didn’t test the fax (who does that anymore?) but tested all other functions and, ‘it works’. Nothing fancy to report, didn’t blow my socks off, and didn’t blow itself up. Physical setup was pretty simple, software setup is obnoxious (more below). I’m not really fond of the paper tray, usually trays have 4 distinct sides and you adjust to fit your paper size, and it holds the paper in. This tray has a ramp on the feed side. Best way to load paper seems to be to drop it in, shake the tray back and insert the tray back in gently, like the manual says. I tried to load 4x6 camera prints into the document feeder to scan them. It kinda worked but isn’t the method I ultimately used to scan my photos (more below). Scan/print speed and quality seem to be about average. Now on to my dislikes. Take them for what it’s worth, you might be fine with it. If you just want a printer and are willing to treat it more as a ‘lease’ than YOUR printer, this might be a good option for you. Never in my life have I setup a printer that required me to create an account and set it up online. I just want a printer that I plug into my PC with USB, install some basic printer/scan drivers, and done. Not this one. This printer comes with a big sticker on it that says 3 free months of instant ink. Even the ads say 3 months. When I finally got done setting up the online account and jumping through all the software install hoops, my dashboard says I have 2 free months of instant ink. Sounds like some false advertising there. If you actually read through the fine print of the instant ink program you’ll find out the following. You have to agree to auto firmware updates which they say can ‘update’ your printer to not work with generic print cartridges. They tell you they will send out a set of special instant ink cartridges that have more ink than even the XL cartridges so you can print more and longer without them having to send replacements. This is more proof they short change you on the cartridges you buy outright, the ink is the cheapest part of the cartridge and they purposely don't fill them all the way, just to get you to buy more of their overpriced factory cartridges. They also tell you when you cancel your instant ink, they will remotely ‘turn off’ your instant ink cartridges so you can no longer print with them and you may have to return the cartridges. Now let that sink in for a moment…. Would you go buy a new car that the manufacturer could say.. “Oh BTW, at 30k miles we are going to turn your car off, send a tow truck to pick it up. We will put our special new tires on it and you can have the car back when you pay us the inflated price we want”? Go ahead and search for lawsuits against HP if you need more info. The printer touchscreen and HP smart software are also a bit laggy, but seem to work. In my general ‘work flow’ I was able to accomplish my task ok. One feature that seems to be missing (unlesss I missed a setting someplace). It would be nice to be able to put something in the doc feeder or glass and hit the scan button on the printer and have it just dumped in a default folder on your pc, but that’s not the case. You have to actually hit the scan button in HP smart after you put the doc in the printer. I will have to see how this instant ink trial pans out. Maybe it’ll be worth the $1.49/m for the cheapest plan since I dont print much, but I doubt it, I hate monthly fees, and at this point of jumping through these hoops, I hate HP. There’s a chance this printer will end up in the recycle bin after they turn off the instant ink trail cartridges and my original cartridges run out. I’ve used genuine HP cartridges in past printers and have just as many issues with the new HP cartridges as I’ve had with generic cartridges at 1/4 the cost, so you can't tell me the genuine are better. Only giving this an average 3 star score. If you’re ok with paying the admission cost to the HP ‘system’ it’ll probably work out for you.

To start off - The HP OfficeJet Pro 8135e produces crisp documents and vibrant photos, the printer relies on a complex interplay of physical and chemical properties to deliver wonderfully clean and punchy pages. The HP OfficeJet Pro 8135e was an awesome experience from the start. It had easy to follow yet comprehensive setup instructions. This has to be the easiest to set up All in 1 I have ever installed. My first 2 impressions were - FIRST – less than 15 minutes from box to printing. SECOND- It was ALL wireless! – and this is in an area saturated with 30+ routers that I can see in my WiFi list. HP recommends quite strongly that you should setup wirelessly. I am impressed. HP inks feature great viscosity and other droplet properties including the following; Great Surface Tension: influencing spread, dot shape, and drying time. Excellent Lightfastness: Crucial for photos and archival documents. Good Waterfastness: With resilience to water splashes or spills. Nice pH Balance: Ink acidity can affect both paper longevity and printer components. Balanced pH ensures compatibility and prevents corrosion or paper degradation. High Optical Density: This relates to the ink's ability to absorb light, determining color intensity and overall print quality. Higher optical density equals bolder, richer colors. Droplet Size: Delivering fine detail and smoother gradations, without misting. Optimized Droplet Velocity: For controlled penetration, spread, and drying time. Droplet Placement Accuracy: Precise placement ensures sharp lines and accurate color representation. It uses what I would call “standard size ink cartridges including a high capacity Black that is available”. I think they will work well over time without gumming up. Easy to use – Beautiful prints!

I received the HP Office Jet Pro 8135e Wireless All-in-One Printer, it feels pretty well-built. It's similar to most other HP printers, with a body made mostly from thicker plastic. Lifting the scanner bed gives you good access to the maintenance bay. It has the typical maintenance requirements you'd expect of an inkjet printer. Like any inkjet model, the printheads can clog if you don't print for a prolonged period. To combat the risk of print quality deterioration over time, you can run a few procedures: printhead cleaning, printhead alignment, and smear cleaning, which removes smudges that can appear on printed pages. The HP 923 cartridges have a reasonable yield, so you won't need to replace them all that often unless you print at high volumes regularly. You can access the cartridges by opening the printer's front panel and lifting the entire scanner bed. However, the printer needs to be on for you to replace them since the cartridge carriage is locked in place to the left of the maintenance bay when the printer is off. The touch-sensitive screen is small and responds ok, the touch-capacitive buttons just below the screen are very sensitive, and it's easy to accidentally press one when swiping through the menu. The HP OfficeJet Pro 8135e delivers great color document print quality. Text looks clear and legible, and colored areas aren't overly saturated, quality of black-and-white documents is great, Text looks crisp and sharp, and the scanner accurately reproduces finer elements, prints reasonably fast, though that depends on the source of your printed material. This printer comes with a 3-month subscription to HP's Instant Ink service, which automatically ships replacement cartridges to your door when the printer detects that it's running low on ink. Its flatbed scanner boasts an ADF to process multi-page documents. Like most other HP printers, the HP OfficeJet Pro 8135e is compatible with the HP Smart app, which offers a broad range of features. From the app, you can print a variety of file types, scan from the printer, mobile fax, and manage your HP Instant Ink subscription.

I've tested this printer for a couple weeks and can say I am quite happy with it. While it has a few flaws/nitpicks, it overall works well and especially much better than my last HP printer. ----- Here's what I like about it. *** Fast--this printer spits out pages much faster than my prior one, which has been a time saver +Clear--prints much clearer, which is nice because I print a lot of shipping labels at home and my last printer's output couldn't be scanned by UPS. +Print from anywhere with your phone. Super convenient that you no longer have to be at your desk to print. +Secure print. It won't print unless you can prove you're right next to the machine. Cool feature. +Scan directly to your email. Set up a shortcut and with the touch of a button, scans go right to your inbox. You can even set up custom email bodies to go with the attachments. +Small, but valuable to me: I have kids and paper sitting out the back always got crumpled as they'd mess with it, or grab sheets. Having a closed off tray is much nicer. ----- What I don't like *** -HP ink cartridges have chips on them so they can effectively shut off your printer remotely or keep you from using competitor ink. -App and interface is glitchy. I get errors on my laptop saying it can't print, but it still prints. I get errors on my phone saying the printer is blocked and it doesn't print from there, while my old one would. At least I can use my computer, but still frustrating. Can't find a fix. -Can't set a password. App says it needs attention. I go to update it with a password and a wheel spins endlessly. -Most egregious thing though, and the main reason I took a star off: HP Instant ink is a horrible program. Remember how I said the cartridges have chips in them? Once you register a cartridge with instant ink, it cannot be used without the subscription. Meaning if you're like me and don't necessarily fly through ink and think "I don't need this anymore" or more than likely, sign up for the trial but cancel at the end, your ink won't work. That's why I didn't take HP up on their offer for 3 months of instant ink. I won't go through the ink included in the printer within the trial time and they would remotely lock me out of my ink since I'd cancel the plan. It's spelled out in the terms of service when you sign up. Very anti-consumer, in my opinion.

The HP OfficeJet Pro 8135e is a compact all-in-one inkjet printer in the usual black and grey color scheme from HP. This does black/white and color duplex printing, scanning/copying from a document feeder or manually from the scanner glass, and can print to a variety of paper types like cards and envelopes in additional to normal letter/A4 paper. The paper tray holds just under half a ream of paper so the normal amount for a home office setup. Inputs include the typical ethernet, USB, and WiFi but this printer also has RJ11 for fax! Unfortunately, I did not test that functionality for this review. As usual, the first steps are getting everything setup and configured. You'll unpack the printer, remove the protective tape and plastic film (scanner glass and touch screen), then power on the printer and at least set language and country on the touch screen. After that paper and ink cartridges. The ink goes on the right side of the printer behind the white panel right of the touchscreen. You pull down the white panel then lift the scanner cover. There's helpful pictorial guides making it obvious where the ink goes. Setup is also guided by the touch screen BTW which I assume happens just on brand new printers when first configured. Finally, you'd be prompted to go through a printer alignment where you'd print a page that then gets scanned on the flat bed scanner glass. I guess it works well enough - the things I printed didn't seem to have any issues so I'm guessing the alignment algorithm is able to compensate for the user potentially placing the paper not perfectly aligned in the scanner. For me, the next thing was to test printing via ethernet and wifi. Both of those worked with wifi needing setup via the touch screen - ethernet was just plug and play. While the screen looks slightly small, it was pretty easy to use to enter the wifi password without errors. Print quality was okay to pretty good. For a black/white document that's mostly text, it's pretty good. If you have a lot of images, you'd start to notice some striations going across the page at regular intervals. Upping the print quality from standard made this go away at the expense of slower prints. With color, pretty much you'd want to always use high quality. Another unchanged issue was the paper needing extra time to dry if the print is particularly dense. Relatively sparse things like a normal text document are ok. A full page photo or image results in what seems like a damp print. You'd want to be especially careful if you anything else coming out as a second print or page to help ensure they don't stick together or smear. The print speed is slow for what I've seen on some other home/office printers. This drops it in my estimation to more like college dorm printer especially since it seems to need to buffer even the simplest documents over wifi. So getting good speeds would mean needing to be connected either by ethernet or USB. While the printer can scan to USB, the USB input is just the bulky USB B so you're not plugging in a flash drive to scan to. So for that purpose, I'd strongly suggest the HP app. It's pretty easy and scans to your phone. While my ideal would be something that could automatically feed free form stuff like grocery store receipts and scan that, using the flat bed is generally faster when I have more than 5-6 things to scan versus just using a standalone scanning app on my phone. Scan quality is very good. It's funny, it may struggle to copy a really detailed image even though it's scan is practically perfect. For me, this printer rates 3 stars. It does the basic job, supports multiple functions in one, but barely meets the cut for home office use, even if you're not regularly printing a lot of stuff. I can't really see someone using this in a small business setting or to regularly print documents or things that aren't just one-off submissions or arts/crafts for children to use.

I’ve used HP printers for over 20 years. I’ve strayed a few times but I have always quickly returned. I just find HP quality, features, and support second to none. I was happy to try the HP OfficeJet Pro 8135e Wireless All-In-One Inkjet printer to see how it measures up to my prior experience. Unboxing is simple. HP even has the printer in a plastic bag within the box to aid in lifting it out. Nice touch. In the box you’ll find the printer, ink, power cord, and some paperwork. Remove all the packing tape and cardboard in and around the printer and you’re ready for setup. There is a quick start guide included which has a QR code which direct you to the online setup guide. Here you are instructed step by step through a very simple setup process that directs you what to do next on the 8135e 2.7 inch color LCD touchscreen. Simply select your language, install paper into the 225 page paper tray, install the ink, and align the printheads. Next you’re prompted to install the HP Smart app on your computer which then guides you through the rest of setup. I already had another HP printer so I had the app. Once you have the app simply select add new printer. The app detects the 8135 and then you just add it to your wifi network. Next you can activate HP+ which include a 3 month trial to instant ink. With that you’re done and ready to print. HP printer setup is remarkably easy. Gone are the days of tedious printer setup via usb cables and driver installation. Spec wise you get 10 ppm in color and 20 ppm in black. I love the double sided printing and scanning feature. The 8135e is of course a wifi printer so you can print, scan, copy, or fax documents from your phone or tablet with the HP Smart app. Even better you can also print from anywhere over the internet using the Smart app. Overall I love the design, quality, and features of the HP 8135e. Definitely a great quality printer.

When this printer works, it works well. Print is clear and colorful and for an inkjet printer, it is pretty fast. It prints pages with just text just as fast as a laser jet. It is also nice and compact, and doesn't take up a lot of space. Other than that, though, there just isn't a lot that is good to say about this printer. Setup was not easy. It took a while to get it all connected to my wifi router (ASUS GT-AX11000). I have a Dell laptop and I ended up using the HP Smart software to get it connected. It took three tries for it to find the printer and connect it. Once it was set up, it worked well enough. I printed a couple of sample pages with text and everything went well. The next morning, I sent a small document to it and it took a full two minutes to warm up before it even would print. This involved a lot of print head moving noise, like it was self-cleaning. Eventually it did print. I mostly print from Apple devices. I have an iPhone, MBP, and an iPad. It just doesn't handle these very well. Yesterday I tried to send a document from all of my devices and the Dell laptop and none of them could connect to the printer at all. They just weren't seeing it as an available device. I went to the printer and tapped on the screen a few times and it did not wake up. So I pressed the power button and it would not shut off. It was completely locked up and my only option was to unplug it and plug it back in. This really does feel like a product that is not ready for prime time. I assume that these are issues that can be fixed with software patches, but something that can't stay on for a week without completely locking up just isn't a very good product.

The product is a great, works well, fast printing, Scans, Faxes, Connects and uploads to computer easily and fast, I would highly recommend this product.

This HP LaserJet printer continues HP’s long line of quality printers with this its latest iteration. And HP has continued to up the ante in the printer world by offering both a compelling ink and printer replacement service as well, giving everyone a reason to seriously consider one of these printers. The build quality and engineering is definitely there, from packaging to set up. Getting started is fairly straightforward, even though I did have to double-back and manually set the printer up on our network. Honestly, though, this wasn’t a major problem, and the wizard that HP takes you through should be sufficient for most situations. Even better, Windows and Apple setups are a breeze, with no additional software needed in either case. Both printer setups then allow you to create whatever printer setup you need. Of course, printing is fast and in color, when needed — perfectly fine for personal or home office use. Final note. While HP’s ink replacement service is fairly well-known (I’ve subscribed to it with another older HP printer), what I found really nice is their $5.99/month (I think it is) paper replacement service. I got my first box of paper, and it’s pretty good, and that’s a fair price to me. You can’t lose with HP.

The HP OfficeJet Pro 8135e was intended as an upgrade from my HP LaserJet printer, with a focus on improved color printing, faster print speeds, and easier setup for scanning. However, while it does offer color printing and scanning capabilities, the experience fell short of expectations. Pros: + All-in-one functionality covering print, copy, scan, and fax + Straightforward physical setup + Adequate print quality and speed + Impressive packaging for easy unboxing + 3 Month Ink trial Cons: - Complex software setup, requiring online account creation (if you haven't already had an account) - Ink can get expensive - Laggy touchscreen interface and software - Limited scanning functionality without using HP Smart software - Ink subscription is misleading: cartridges stop working if you stop paying, and there's a monthly page limit. But subscription is great if you're someone who prints a lot and is always running out of ink. Features: + Wireless and USB connectivity + Automatic document feeder and 2-sided printing (something my previous printers were not able to do) + Mobile printing capability + Variety of paper types supported Quality/Speed: = Normal print quality and speed. - Ink usage may be high. - Setup may encounter difficulties on various devices. Overall Rating: 3 stars The HP OfficeJet Pro 8135e offers basic functionality with average performance. While suitable for occasional home office use, its software setup and functionality limitations may hinder its appeal for more demanding tasks or business settings. As an upgrade from a HP LaserJet printer, it does provide color printing and scanning options but falls short in terms of ease of setup and speed. If I need to print out multiple papers, I would probably revert back to my Laserjet printer (even if I am unable to automatically print 2 sided).

I love the printer. It's quick and easy, something needed at this time in my life!

I have been absolutely thrilled with this printer! This printer is exactly what anyone could ask for in 2024 for a printer that is up to the tasks of home, family, and basic office admin work like scanning documents with efficient ADF and bed scan options. I have been thrilled with this printer from setup to our first print jobs. The touchscreen display is shockingly smooth and easy to use, a far cry from some of the sloppy and hard-to-press ones I have used in the past. I was able to get the printer set up with both my Apple and Windows products in the house with ease. The only areas I am going to point out to potential buyers as something to keep in mind is the instant ink plan and general expense of the ink in general of this printer. The ink cartridges HP sells are God-awful expensive at times, and HP even advertises that they are actively working to eliminate non-HP printer ink chip cartridges from working. This is honestly fine if you only want to use the stock ink and are interested in the instant ink plan, but very high volume home offices may want to look for options that will have a lower cost per page printing wise over time. Thanks and I hope this review has been helpful!

With Fax, Scan, Copier, and Printer capabilities, this is a great printer for a home office. It has an excellent print quality. I love the Instant Ink option you can set and not worrying about running out of ink.

I recently started using the HP OfficeJet Pro 8135e, primarily for printing photos on 4x6 HP paper, and the quality has truly exceeded my expectations. Each print, taking about a minute, showcases phenomenal clarity and vibrancy. The setup was a breeze, taking less than five minutes via the HP Print app, making the entire process seamless. Adjusting the paper tray from letter to legal size was a bit tricky but manageable. My initial concern was about ink consumption, yet after printing 7 full-color photos, the ink levels still seem reasonable. The photos, taken with my Samsung S23 Ultra, printed beautifully directly from my phone over the wireless network, thanks to the "Camera Scan" feature. I also tested a double-sided B&W print from my Desktop, which took about the same time, attributing the duration to ink usage rather than toner. The HP Smart app facilitated an easy setup, although it does nudge you towards HP's Instant Ink subscription. For anyone looking to print high-quality photographs with ease, I highly recommend this printer for its vibrant colors and user-friendly experience.

The HP Officetjet Pro 8125e is a very good printer. It is an All-In-One printer with crisp color 2-sided printing along with black and white print capabilities. The printer was easy to set up after unboxing and HP's Smart Help made connecting and setting up quick and easy. The printer offers a 3 month supply of ink direct from HP or you can purchase your own 923 ink cartridges in standard or XL sizes. The printer has an adjustable paper storage tray that allows the user to install 8 1/2 x 11" or legal sized paper. HP's 8135e can connect wirelessly to your Wi-Fi Network or be used with a cat 5 lan wire connector. There is a USB connector on the left side of the printer for use in scanning documents for sending via email. It also has a top tray for automatically scanning or copying multiple or single page documents. This printer is one I recommend highly! It is a well-built very capable printer, copier , scanner and whould last for many years. It is replacing two older printers I was using and make life easier than maintining two older printers.

Bestbuy is what i would call a place of intrest it has amost everything you need. It's a wonderful place to shop.

Extremely fast printer. Great purchase. I was very impressed.

Fairly easy to operate and good quality. No smudging and good color

a good printer with several extras. It should have come with an owners manlual since ot every option is intuitive.
