Rated 1 out of 5 by Unhappy customer 22 from Horrible Never worked, kept buying ink as was told it was dried out. Only printed 50 pages total and company will not provided any assistance

Date published: 2020-07-01

Rated 3 out of 5 by Cam26 from Cam Work fairly well. Does the job. Though it has to do a song and dance before prints- every time. Meaning it is a bit noisy and it is not speedy. Needs tone reset too often.

Rated 4 out of 5 by fefe from This printer does everythng, however.... It does everything as noted, however I cannot get it to print and cannot find the instructions to get it connected. I have the disk but it does not work or not getting me connected. Please tell me how man cords are there to connect the printer, it is wireless. I only printed on it about 7 times since 2016 when I purchased it any the all in one wireless PC. HELP. Thank you.

Rated 5 out of 5 by LarryWB52 from Amazing Machine For me, purchased in 2014, this machine has been "bullet-proof". Others have "borrowed" its capabilities to copy, scan, and print. Will definitely get another in the HP 2500 series when, OR IF, this ever becomes obsolete!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Shannonmp1981 from Nice features! Seems to work great! Was wondering if this is blue tooth capatible? I have an iPhone 8 and wanted to print right from my phone, do I need to download a certain program from the App Store?
