Fantastic printer for mobile…

I wanted to use this specifically for the features provided by the HP Smart app. I did not need to use a computer at any point during the setup process, and I'm able to print photos from my phone with no problems at all.
Wireless setup was very easy, although I did need to turn off and on the printer and app a few times to get things to connect. My phone is a bit older, so this may not even be a concern for most, but I found that my note 9 was able to handle the app and setup easily..
Setup is very straightforward - the app guides you along every step of the way, including what tape to peel off, what cardboard to remove, and what parts to insert at what time. Following step by step did not leave me with any questions like "did I miss something", or "what do I do with xyz". They include a full color quick start guide as well for those who want to get an overview of the process first.
The ink tank is the best part of this printer. The tanks are easy to access, but hidden from normal use with small windows to show a visual level of ink remaining. The ink is easy to fill and I had no spills or drips whatsoever during the fill process.
You do need to push down a little harder than you might expect during the initial fill - there is a piece in the bottle that keeps the ink fresh in storage and that gets popped out internally when you fill for the first time. The caps go on securely, and there is more black ink for later!
The printer does its own automatic head alignment with the scanner, so this is one step I'm glad not to do. Older printers used to make you look at a list, and try to pick the best one by eye. The automatic process yields perfect results. Make sure you have some paper handy for this - no paper suitable for this is included.
Once everything is set and connected, the HP Smart app gives plenty of options for what you can do. You can print photos directly from your phone, and you can also scan and save to the phone as well.
Document print quality is fantastic with crisp lines and sharp text, and photo quality is great enough for sharing with family and friends.
The paper tray is set up in a way where it can be hidden during non-use, and easily supports letter size paper without any sagging of the pages.
Overall, the HP SmartTank 5103 is a great device for those who are more mobile-centric users, and those that do not always want to use a PC to print. With a full featured app, and excellent printer
