HP Smart Tank Plus 555 All-in-One Wireless Inkjet Printer
Overall impressive package

Printer comes well packages with 5 ink bottles, 2 XL black, and then 1 of each of the smaller colours, unpacking it was straight forward with lots of protection to minimise damage in transit. Once unboxed following the quick start guide was simple, install the print heads and fill up the ink. Connection to a computer is via HP Smart either on your mobile or on a PC/Mac, and setup took around 10 mins to complete. It then prints a test page and asks you to use this to calibrate the scanner.
Printing is quick and easy, but I have found that when printing from a Mac (MacOS Ventura) and the item being printed is 90% colour it can take over 15 mins to print a single page which is far from ideal, and has on multiple occasions failed to print all together. Hopefully this can be resolved with future software updates, as this issue doesn't occur with black and white / text printing, or where <50% of the page is image based.
Print quality is good and of the standard I expect from HP, and when printing documents its quite fast and averages 20 pages per min, when colour and images are in play (and you don't have the same issue I have) then it can do around 10 per min.
The paper tray can be quite fiddly and seams to lack a support to keep A4 paper in alignment, but once its pulled to the printer this doesn't appear to be an issue.
