Rated 1 out of 5 by petergy from Chose another printer Bought this about 3 years ago, it stopped printing after a few months, only used it for scanning after that. Software is spotty at best

Rated 5 out of 5 by Dave9 from The best printer I ever owned I've had this printer for several years now and it is, by far, the best printer I've ever owned. All features and interface are intuitive and easy to use. The ink lasts and the hardware has been durable with zero problems.

Rated 1 out of 5 by KandieWood from More Issues Than It's Worth I won this printer from a website, thank gosh I did not have to buy this printer, I would be more upset than I am. I have had nothing but issue after issue with this printer. It either can not be found on the app on my phone or laptop, or it will not print in color, or there is an issue with HP Instaink, and the best one that has been ongoing since about a week after setting it up I can not access the printer settings via the web service. It refuses to accept the username and password. There is literally zero help from HP to resolve this. And once you're locked out of it, you are stuck, you can not charge any settings, or anything. There solutions they say will reset it to factory does absolutely nothing at all but remove your wifi settings.. that does not help whatsoever. Currently I can only print from my phone and that at best is only half of half, you can't adjust the print scale or size because of being locked out of the settings.. And the HP Smart App is absolutely the worst printer app they could have made. You can not adjust anything at all on it. Nor can you even see what your trying t print and I have a Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra. So now after owning this printer for 3 years I decided to give my honest review. I can not believe there is really no resolution to being locked out of the web service settings.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Harm from Lasts about a year then throw it out It last only a year worth buying something better. Not convinced HP is they way to go, with the cartridges being very challenging to work correctly.

Rated 4 out of 5 by JB1971 from Great I really don’t understand the negative reviews! This is the best, most user friendly printer I’ve owned. My son uses it for college, we have the $3.00 monthly ink plan and it is easy to use from all Apple devices. No brainer.

Rated 2 out of 5 by danielr from Would be a great printer, but... This printer works well if you print at least once every couple of days. If you don't, then the cartridges will dry out, and you'll be forced to buy new ones even if they're full. The head-cleaning utilities built into the printer's firmware do nothing to alleviate this. If you're someone who only needs to print once in a while, you'll find it's both inconvenient and very costly because every time you intend to print, you need to go out and buy new cartridges to do it.

Rated 1 out of 5 by KECC from poor quality, incompatibility I have never hated a printer as much as I've hated this one. From the start it had compatibility issues with mine and my husband's chromebooks. After waiting for updates and bug fixes and downloading apps to bridge the gap it finally was working properly just in time to break. The printer quit being able to identify the ink cartridges even after following all troubleshooting. Do NOT recommend this printer.

Are there any new drivers available for this printer? Mine is currently only printing in black and white (repeatedly without prompting as well). I have shut it down and rebooted it. Double checked my laptop in it saying to print in color, but nothing.
