Rated 5 out of 5 by SDA School from Good Printer The multi function works well.
Date published: 2023-02-01
Rated 5 out of 5 by RTohio from Fantastic printer! I readily give it 5 stars despite a challenge of installing the Scan to Network Folder function. I hard wired the printer to my wired/wireless home office network with Mac OS computers. Network immediately recognized the printer. Installed HP Smart that seems useless except for any drivers it downloads. Use the printer website (printer IP address in web browser) for administrative control and access to advanced settings. Website is responsive and robust. Much better and more useful than HP Smart. Only challenge was using Quick Set to set up Scan to Network Folder. After much research here is what worked and now works flawlessly: 1. Follow all printer installation steps paying close attention to time zone setting. 2. Set up Shared Folder using Mac OS “System Preferences” > “Sharing” following all steps for user read & write authorization to include “Options” SMB authorization. 3. Find ethernet IP address at “Systems Preferences” > “Network”. 4. Set up Network Folder Path in Quick Set as \\Path1\Path2 where Path1 is the ethernet IP address (xx.xx.xx.xx) and Path 2 is the Shared Folder Name. 5. When executing Scan to Network Folder on the printer control pad, use Mac username and password exactly as defined during Mac setup to ensure access to Shared Folder. Terrific printer, copier, and scanner with exceptional quality output and impressive settings and controls. Adding more detailed instructions for Scan to Network Folder with Mac OS is the only thing I would do to improve the installation experience.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Anonymous from This printer does not have Wi-Fi It is a joke that this $1000 printer does not have built in Wi-Fi. I had to spend $79 for an adaptor for Wi-Fi that only partially works. Please be reasonable and add Wi-Fi features. I figured at this level it would be WiFi equipped. I would have never procheaswd this printer if I knew it did not have Wi-Fi.

Rated 3 out of 5 by dtmtmtl from It's quiet, fast, but hard to connect to Like many, I've shifted to working from home. My office requires me to connect to the corporate network via a VPN, which precludes local network access. The printer advertizes USB connectivity. However, out of the box, it supports only USB 2.0, which is very dated. My computers only have USB 3.0 ports. HP Tech Support refuses to support USB 3.0 or helping get a local port on my computer to become a USB 2.0 port. So, I'm pretty disappointed. Also, the printer doesn't always read from the queue when something is there. I'm not sure why there is sometimes lag of hours. However, when the printer does read from the queue, it prints very quietly and quickly.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Business customer from Not up to HP Standards It has been a nightmare trying to get this to work. We have spent days on the phone with support in an effort to get it to work - sometimes up to 7 hours continuously. Every other HP Printer we have had was up and working in minutes after taking it out of the box, but no this one. If we could return it we would. We would purchase a different HP Printer.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Ruta from DO NOT RECOMMEND Terrible printer. Had HP for my small business for many year- customer service terrible. Bought this $2000 brand new printer and it’s not scanning. HP customer service could not fix it. It said it has a part with the defect. DO NOT RECOMMEND

Rated 1 out of 5 by Anonymous from Sub standard printing I bought this last week with extra three years warranty after thinking that HP has great company. But the print qualiy is horrible, white colours tend to come creamish. I bought an OKI 873 after two days and can see the quality straightaway. Big difference in the colors on paper with OKI. HP was showing the different shades of the color. Tried adjusting many settings but its the same. Wont recommend if your work relies on the quality of colored photos. Normal black printing works fine.

Two questions. 1:) Can I open the top cover to scan a document or does everything go through the ADF to copy? 2:) Can I control what users can print in color vs B&W. I don't want everyone to print color documents.
