When opening the box, there was a bag with a handle to easily pull out the printer and support its weight to where I placed it.
Set-up
Takes a few seconds to power up to select a language. There is a tutorial online that walks you through the set-up. There are written instructions, as well as short video clips to go along with the instructions. When loading paper, the printer tells you if it’s okay or not. To insert the ink, you must make sure the top lid is closed, or you won’t be able to open the top. There is a pull tab to take the plastic wrap off, however it takes off part of the sticker on the ink. The black ink came halfway off. I hope this does not interfere with the ink. There is also a plastic part at the bottom of the cartridge that needs to be removed. There is an arrow that shows which way to twist it off and you will need to put a little muscle into it.
I used my laptop to set up the printer and when it came time to connect the printer to my internet, you have the option to let the printer find your password (no thank you) or you can enter it manually. The laptop also could not locate the printer from the office to the living room. Then the app took forever to finish the software download. I had to exit it out using the command in the tutorial and keep closing the app and reopening it, at least 3 times. When it finally worked, it took about 45 minutes to set up from start to finish. The bulk of the time is spent connecting to the internet and downloading the software. A page will print for the alignment and then you will have to scan it for the printer to check if it is okay or not. At the end of the set up you print a test page. All these extra steps are a nice touch to ensure everything is working properly.
I was offered a subscription for the ink, however you must use HP’s ink for the life of the printer, even if you cancel your subscription.
The printer allows you to print, copy, scan, and fax. I printed a few photos using the photo paper that I had. There are more photo paper options on the software than on the printer and you must either match them or print without matching the photo options. And I'm not sure if this affects the print quality. It printed relatively quickly for a photo. However, the color copies are not as vibrant as I thought it would be. The features have been easy to use. It's not overly loud when printing. The screen can be slanted so that you can see the options well. I have not used the fax or scan features.
