Small Yet Powerful

The printer arrived and many have commented that it's big. And it is. But if you look at the side by side photo with my other multifunction printer, you can see it's relatively small. The difference isn't that much but it's significant in such that one person can carry and install the HP. The other needs 2 people to position! And it fits nicely on the cabinet in my attic cupboard.
Set up was very easy. I just powered it up while plugged into my network with the existing ethernet cable i had been using for the existing printer. I was able to add the printer on my PC straight away (note it may take some time as it downloads the HP Software).
I installed the app on my phone. This allows further configuration. But i can't see the need to use it much once you have set up the printer.
2 small hiccups were finding the power button (it's on the front and very slim) and the PIN number (look on the front of the printer cartridge holder)
I was able to add the HP Print Service on my Android phone (Google Pixel 6 Pro) and print from my phone in not time. This will make a big difference (mainly for my wife with all her Amazon return labels!) and is such a great feature.
The print quality and speed was great. Very quick and sharp and double sided if you like.
This has already taken pride of place in our home / business printer spot. Highly recommended.
One thing to note is that HP insist on you using their cartridges. If you use any other brands it may brick your device. I prefer to use original cartridges because i have had printers damaged in the past by poor quality cartridges which have leaked. I'm not sure HP's CEO's reason that it's a security risk really applies to us home users. But just be aware that HP isn't the cheapest when it comes to cartridges so factor that in if you're a heavy user.
