A Good All-in-One!

The printer is decently easy to setup and get printing: download the app, make an account, connect via Bluetooth and print! When first setting up the printer, it made it seem like you absolutely had to have the HP+ subscription, but upon further research, it seems like you don’t really. But once you activate HP+, you can’t undo it! It’s not really a bad thing: HP+ was free with my printer, it added a year to the warranty, it keeps the printer software up to date, and you can print/scan/fax from the app whenever you need. I also got 6 months of Instant Ink for free! The Instant Ink subscription is very nice, they will send you ink before you run out, without even having to order it. I added the paper delivery to it, too- free for the first month and they sent me a package of really nice HP paper within a week or so. Since I activated the HP+ I’ll have to always use their specific ink- the printer apparently won’t accept off-brand cartridges. The Instant Ink/paper subscriptions are a nice touch!
The app is pretty easy to navigate, but my friend couldn’t just connect to the printer to print without the app- I’ve never had that happen with other printers.
I have only used a couple options thus far: scanned pages using my iPhone, printed them off and printed some things from my iPad. The scan/print pages were just black ink; they looked fine when printed, the printing took a little longer than expected, but not a big deal. I printed some double-sided pages and was surprised when I didn’t have to flip the pages myself to print the other side! When printing in color from my iPad, it was simple enough, but they could’ve looked better when finished. The background was sort of choppy-looking: it reminded me of printers we used in like middle school! The other page just looked a little off-color. I was hoping to use it to print things for my crafting (ie print/cut vinyl projects, stickers, etc.), but I might have to get a different printer for that. (*I have read some other reviews saying their color prints were great, so maybe my first cartridge is just defective or something!? I will try other things and update further.)
I would recommend it. All in all, it’s a GOOD printer; maybe not great, but definitely not the worst either. It’s small, but does it all!
*I received a special deal on this product for providing my feedback.
