Got this printer to replace our 25 year old HP-5P. That printer was still working well, although slowly. Biggest problem we have is plastic parts becoming brittle and breaking and HP no longer manufactures the toner cartridge, but they are available as remanufactured.
Unboxing, see photos, was a snap and the only part I had to connect was the tray cover. Even the toner was already in place. Installation under Windows 10 was easy, except for one small step. The Setup Guide says to turn on the printer and download and install the HP Smart software and run it. I had a feeling and sure enough the software reported it couldn’t find a printer. Well duh, the instructions said to connect the USB cable after running the software instead of (correctly) before. Once I did the installation proceeded flawlessly. I then proceeded to connect the printer to my wireless network. Thanks to the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) feature this was a snap.
We have now been using the printer for a while and are very happy with it. We love the ability to print on both sides (although I had to go into Printer Properties to enable this feature) and boy is it fast. And importantly, the print quality is excellent! We have had no issues, paper jams, etc. with it. The small size fits perfectly into our home office and it is very attractive. I opted not to enroll in the Instant Ink program, a monthly fee and HP sends toner as needed, until I get a better feel for usage. Speaking of the toner cartridge, it couldn’t be easier to replace – lift one cover and there it is.
