    I swore I would never buy an HP printer again, but this one looked pretty good. Endless frustration trying to use HP smart to connect to WiFi. Will return ASAP.

    Bought it because the person who helped me with the pirchase said it was a really good printer and very easy to install. I purchased it and its just sitting there not being used because I just coul not install it to the wifi. Now im just paying for it and have not even used it once.

    HP is going downhill

    Every HP printer I’ve purchased has ended up in the return bin. Why does it take 15-20 minutes for this printer to warm up, only to require another 15-20 minutes before a print? The printer is incredibly slow. To make matters worse, it constantly disconnects from Wi-Fi, rendering it completely useless.

    Cannot automatically print double sided. Followed directions and put paper in again to print the remaining sheets, and it printed one blank page first which threw all the page numbers off. Huge hassle to print a simple document.

    I requested information about this printer from Best Buy's employee or salesman. The problem is that the sellers do not have any idea of this printer. In addition to the four containers of Ink, the printer had in addition two cartridges' which must also be installed. The cost of replacing the ink plus the cartridges must be high, but the sellers had no idea. The printer had a limited capacity to put paper. Therefore, I opted to return the printer. opted

    Very difficult to set up. Directions says go to the website. The directions and website directions are not the same. I have had it for 3 weeks still not connected to wifi. Had to hire Geek Squad to connect it.

    The printer itself is only okay. It takes a lot longer to print items than expected and there's an error message about the ink cartridge's more often than expected.

    I was very disappointed in this printer. I set it up to my cell and was able to print one page. Then it would not reconnect to wifi and nothing I did would fix it. Neither my laptop or the cell could find the printer again. It is not user friendly. The APP I downloaded was unhelpful as was the chat and the written directions. Two other people came to assist and were unable to fix it. I returned it.

    I’m having a lot of errors when trying to print. It’s nice not having to change out ink cartridges but not sure it’s worth the hassle if I can’t use it
