It's a little odd to be tracked so tightly, for the company to know how many pages I've printed and whether or not I've changed cartridges, sending notifications that I have new cartridges I haven't installed yet, for example. The printer quality is OK, but it feels creepy.
The reason I purchased the HP OfficeJet Pro 8139e was because I wanted to upgrade from my other HP printer. I needed a reliable printer that is very dependable and a very trusted brand. This printer is great for printing documents and pictures in great outstanding quality.
The directions to unpack and set up the printer were clear. There was a need to follow the directions closely and not rush any steps. The result was that I have a printer that works well and prints clearly.
Printer is fast and pretty sleek with the digital screen. A little concerned that it has trouble staying connected when we try to print. Seems to lose the connection from time to time.
So far it has not been as reliable as my old 8600 printer. It loses its WIFI connection too easily and then intermittently emits an alarm about the lost connection which cannot be permanently disabled which is quite annoying. Was unable to activate the free 1 year of instant ink without making it tied to the printer forever which is misleading advertising.
