HP makes an easy to use…

First, the packaging: Open the box, lift out the included supplies box, and there is the printer. It is stored in the box in a bag with 2 handles on it, so you can easily lift the printer out of the box! Kudos, HP. I was surprised how quickly it put a smile on my face.
The included manual does handle manual setup, but I wanted to test out he smart app.
It found the printer almost immediately, and walked me step by step through each step of setting up my printer.
Getting it connected to my network was breeze, and took less than a minute.
Installing the ink in a tank printer was a whole new experience for me, very satisfying to see how much ink goes into the printer.
Quick and easy with no mess at all.
Printing from mobile devices is painless, I was able to remotely print from my office in another state to my house in one try.
It does print a little slow in color, but I am a causal printer, so I am not in a huge hurry.
Black prints are clear and bold and colors look natural and not overly saturated.
There is supposedly 2 years of ink included with the printer, I should be able to get more than that but only time will tell.
Overall, the setup was painless, and getting it connected to my wireless network was painless as well.
I should add that I already had an HP Smart account, but it took me longer to figure out my password than it did to set up this printer.
Build quality is what I would expect from this pricepoint, but it's sturdy enough without feeling heavy, and it takes up a relatively small footprint.
This is mostly because the paper feed is in the back, and there isn't a big output tray to account for.
My most painless inkjet printer experience in over 25 years of working with and on printers.
