The printer arrived well packed with all accessories and ink needed. There is an instruction booklet in the box with clear pictures. The printer’s size is just right for a desk and the hardware was easy to set up. I used the HP Smart online instructions (on a PC) and it worked fine. Loading the ink was easy and whoever came up with the ink bottles design with the internal little device is very clever. No spill at all. Fitting the printer heads was a little fiddlier but I managed at the end. However, the printer is a bit noisy and often clean the heads (especially every time you start printing). This must use quite a bit of ink. The printing quality is very good. Iif the ink bottles last for the 6000 pages promised, the ink price seems good value and it saves a lot of hassle. I don’t think you can follow how many pages you have printed though which is a shame as you cannot check the 6000 pages statement. I like the fact that the three colours are separate (rather than a tri-colour cartridge), more economical. I print a lot and after printing already around 100-150 pages, I had no issue. One gripe, this printer does not print double sided automatically, you have to reload the page yourself. Ok for one or two pages but unpractical for a whole document.
I am using this printer alongside another HP printer (on instant Ink and with HP Smart) and I was worried I may end up with a conflict. However, I had no problem setting the new printer in the app. and both printers are now working fine.
In conclusion, I am happy with this new printer and the large ink bottles are perfect for my usage.
