This printer only connects to a Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz network band. My HP Envy laptop computer only connects to a Wi-Fi 5 GHz network band. I have to use a printer cable to connect my HP computer to this printer
Two stars ** for setup. We decided to replace our HP "ENVYPhoto 7855." The Pro 8139e looked like a good price option what with the HP Sale, plus "3 Months of Instant Ink for FREE." We had no idea of the challenge ahead of us in setting it up what with its 2"x11/2" screen using many new symbols which were mostly new to us. We had to depend on Google Search to finally complete the task. Compared to the ease of set up and operation of the 7855 the 8130e was a challenge. Also, the quality of the 8139e was not the quality of the sturdy 7855. Multiple entries needed to "modify" then print a #10 envelope. The HP7855 was much easier. Outside of this...every thing's alright.
HP printer is quick, easy to use as everything is digital so you can’t make a mistake because it tells you what to do all the time. The print quality is exquisite and the free ink for the year is definitely a bonus.
I thought this would be similar to the last one I owned, but I have had a few issues. The wifi does not connect as easily, when using the feeder the pages can be misaligned, and it seems like it is harder to get the pages to print properly. It's a good thing I don't have a lot of things to print or I would probably be returning it.
