Got my new printer all set up works very well, also works with wireless for my phone. This computer works with Liquid Ink and hopefully it lasts longer than the cartridges.

From the beginning this printer has been giving me issues and I have only had it for 3 months. It is extremely slow and every time I want to print anything out the whole process takes 20 minutes. It’s either there are connection issues, the page won’t fully print or it won’t recognize that’s there paper in the tray.

I am thankful that I never have to go to the store too buy an ink cartridge while in the middle of a report. You can see the ink levels outside the printer. HP patiently guided me step by step for the installation process. Now I can keep more money in my pocket.

Quality printer for home and office. Has made small business management and homeschooling more efficient. Super easy to set up on wifi and sync with devices for wireless printing.

The HP Smart Tank 5101 All In One Printer is your chance to break free from buying expensive ink cartridges.
Included in the box are 3 color ink bottles (50ml) and 1 black ink bottle (135ml). This is projected to be enough ink to print up to 6000 color or black pages. Filling the tanks is easy and quick. The ink bottles are designed to securely click into the ink tanks eliminating any concerns about spilling ink. The color ink bottles will be empty after refilling the tanks, however the black ink bottle will still have about a third of the ink leftover for you to use at a future date.
Also included are 2 printheads, 1 color and one black. These are designed to slide into clearly designated slots and then locked into place. I had a little bit of an issue with the printhead installation. I would put one printhead in, but when I put the second one in the first one would slide out. I had to repeat this several times before I was able to lock them both into place.
There are "Smart Buttons” for functions like printing color or black copies, printing badges, information, wifi connection, etc. These buttons are bright and intuitive. However, the 1 inch monochrome screen is not illuminated and is very difficult to read. I have to put on my reading glasses and turn on the brightest lights in the room in order to read it.
There is no conventional paper tray. Instead there is a paper feeder in the rear which can hold multiple sheets and feed them.There is also no automatic document feeder, so 2 sided printing becomes a chore. You must take the copy out and refeed it through the paper feeder after turning over the original.
WiFi connection and setup was very easy using the excellent HP Smart App.
The print quality is excellent in both color and black.
Pros:
Ink Tank system is cost effective and easy to refill.
Setup and installation is quick and simple.
Print form any device (mobile, desktop, laptop) with excellent HP Smart App.
Wifi connection is solid. HP has self-healing wifi which detects and resolves any connection issues.
Illuminated Smart Button are easy to read and intuitive.
Print quality is excellent.
Cons:
Small monochrome screen is not illuminated and is very difficult to read.
No automatic document feeder for 2 sided printing or scanning.
No conventional passport tray.
One other possible concern is the life of the printheads. Only time will tell how long they last. The cost of these printheads may negate some of the cost savings of using the smart tanks.
Overall the HP Smart Tank 5101 All In One performs its most important task, which is printing, excellently in both color and black.
The Smart Tank refills should save money in the long term and it's designed to be neat and easy.
Due to the lack of an automatic document feeder, this is more suitable to be in home rather than an office.
I have used HP printers for many years and have always found them to be high quality and this one is no different.
I would highly recommend this if this fits your needs.
