Customer Ratings & Reviews

Let me start by saying when I pick this one up it was on sale so it was a great deal. The printer itself works really good. The qualities is great. You can print pictures and they come out really nice. Also, the fact that the cartridges are more like bottles are easy to fill, and the ink really does last a really long time. It’s really quick , and it doesn’t lose any quality. So in general, it’s a good quality printer with ink that lasts for a good long time and it’s pretty simple to set up.

So far, easy to set up and works right out of the box. I love the idea of the smart tank that has a lot of ink in storage and negates the need for cartridges that clog or give other problems. Never mind the amount of plastic it wastes. Will it work in the long term? We will see. And if problems arise i will definitely amend or make a new review.

This printer is very easy set up and does a great job printing.

Easy to set up, works great, replaces my Cannon, which is eight years old. I like the ink filling method, no mess, the print is fine, well worth the money and does the job.

The bottled ink reduces the waste or need to recycle an ink cartridge. HP states that a family or small home office can expect two years of printing before requiring refilling. I found the fillig process safe, easy and fast. The black ink bottle can fill the tank twice. The great thig is how well the fill process went. Not a drop leaked during the fill. No mess. It is a bit intimidating to install the print heads. he color coding and install manual had clear illustrations and instructions. I have an EERO router which required a bit of extra work. EERO does not allow nor does it have a WPS feature. EERO settings allow one to temporarily disable the 5mz band. This makes it easy for the HP printer to find the 2.4mz band. Too bad it doesn't allow the higher frequency. Once the Wi-Fi was set, HP Smart app did the rest. I was able to use direct printing from my Motorola android phone, and my iPad pro. Connectivity there is easy. HP smart prints and scans for the PC (Windows). I use FileCenter as a scanning platform and filing system for my home office. While it prefers a TWAIN driver, it did work with HP's driver. The printer scanned perfectly. High resolution PDF's and JPGs resulted. Printing was also great. I didn't see if it allows for duplex printing.

Printer was very easy to set up and worked as it should.

Easy to set up. Very nice copies. Wish i could load more paper.

Flexible, we can print via our cells or computers. Having 2 years of ink is much appreciated, and the quality of printing, both in black and white or color, is exactly what we needed. Perfect for our home office.

Store staff was outstanding: I explained what my needs were and was shown multiple options. Decided on HP 5101 Smart tank and I am very happy with it so far. Set up was easy and it functions as hoped for.

I’m very impressed with this printer! Setup was quick and seamless, and the ink bottles were easy to fill without any mess. The print quality is crisp for both documents and photos, and it’s surprisingly quiet during operation. I also love that it includes two years of ink—it’s a huge money saver. The wireless connectivity works perfectly with my laptop and phone, and the HP Smart app makes printing and scanning effortless. Definitely one of the best home office purchases I’ve made this year! Highly recommend it.

The printer is working fine. The instruction guide was less than clear on getting it set up. There was a step that said put an alignment page on the scan/copier glass for alignment of something, but it never said where to get the alignment page from. I spent better that a half hour on the phone with Best Buy Tech support and they ended up doing the setup of my printer for me. The instructions just seemed to have steps out of sequence.

I like it so far . easy set up ,good copys great color.

Exactly what I needed at a good price. Easy setup and functional.

The HP Smart Tank 5101 Wireless All-In-One Supertank is your typical Inkjet Printer with a slight twist; the "Supertank" refillable reservoirs. The initial hardware portion of the setup process introduces you to the most unique feature of this printer: the fillable "smartank". This printer features separate bottles of ink, which you flip upside-down and insert into the top "click in" module of each corresponding tank. Do not worry when flipping the ink upside-down as there is a rubber grommet type device that ensures no ink will spill out. The included black in bottle uses about 75% or so of the bottle to fill the black tank. The other colors use 100% of the bottle. In most cases, black ink is used more than color, so while I understand this initial reasoning I wish they would simply have included all of the ink bottles to be the same size. I'm sure the researchers at HP have done their homework and my desire for this is not justifiable enough. Once the ink is all ready to go and all of the packaging bits are removed, insert your paper and run some "alignment sheets". I found the auto align process to have worked perfectly without the need for any manual adjustments. I then proceeded to download the HP Smart app onto my iPhone for initial setup. This process was easy. I then proceeded to setup the printer on both my Windows and macOS devices. I downloaded the same app on both OSs. Starting with macOS. Here I ran into some initial issues as the HP Smart app instructed me at the end of the setup to "install the drivers" which it provided perfect instructions to do. However, I am running the latest macOS Ventura, and there are no official drivers for Ventura at the time of setting this up. I thought this was strange. I then setup the printer on my Windows device which went start to finish perfectly fine. I then was shown a "print anywhere" guide from the app, which allows me to printer via the HP cloud, from anywhere via any device signed into the proper HP accounts from the HP smart app. Setting this up then allowed me Venture macOS device to print to the printer without issue. Next I updated the firmware on the printer to the latest. After this completed, I noticed over some time, my macOS Ventura machine picked up on the printer via Bonjour, and was natively recognized. Everything about this printer is about what you'd expect. There is little to no reason to get much into the other details in this review, however, I will say that printing from any device using the HP smart app is simple and results in a perfectly printed page, color, black and white, borderless, etc. Using AirPrint via an iOS device also works perfectly, and as expected. Scanning via the HP Smart app is also super simple on any device. I found the HP Print Anywhere technology to be especially welcome for situations where an Android, or even a guest device may be present. It's easy to print from literally anywhere you have access to the internet and this app to sign into. All in all, this is a great inkjet printer with a lot of modern conveniences. My only real gripe was the somewhat "broken" setup process on macOS Ventura initially, though this was mostly and easy work around to then ultimately getting properly fixed. Time will tell if this new ink tank technology offers any real value to the inkjet type printers, which are traditionally, a total waste of money, as ink costs are so high in comparison to the printers, and the ink usage is so heavy that replacements tend to happen more often that it financially makes sense. If HP's promise of "2 years" is true, this printer would be an excellent value.

Easy to use. Prints great, fast. Prints alot of pages with the ink provided.

Great printer.easy set up..instructions were great

Very easy to use and start up. Prints fast and wireless feature is a plus.

This product.....A HP SMART TANK....5100 series printer / scanner is a superior unit. Now that is set up it prints without wires from my laptop computer. A single convenience copy can be made from the copy bed with one button to push....very easy!...........The draw back i was able to overcome was the installation instructions.....They will move you all over mny screens.......You ay have to pusg a button on the back of your router......It is all explained.....in several languages in the ample SET UP & REFERENCE GUIDE.......Having got this one set up I am vert pleased

Printer works fine. Has good connection with WI-FI. Giving 4 stars for false advertisement. Website shows pictures with 3yrs ink , but box that I got shows only 2yrs.
