My older officeJet 8620 HP printer was a workhorse. It gave me no problems for >15 years and then it just died. I wanted to get it repaired but couldn't justify it versus the cost of a new printer. The new officejet printer, Model 8130e) has nice features (scan to email, easier to print from the phone) but I'm already having intermittent connection issues requiring either a reboot of the printer or of the modem. It also is not as heavy as the last one so it shakes more when printing. The print quality is nice, but I wonder if I should have gone with a higher price model even though I don't need the print output of the higher model. Maybe it would have been a little more robust?
I don't expect the new model to last as long as the older one.
So far I like InstantInk. You get a new set of cartridges almost immediately because the ones you get with the printer are just smaller "setup" cartridges and don't last very long.
There is no instruction booklet. I need it to print in color and it doesn't give me that option. Also, it was set up with my wifi and now it is asking for it. Why? I love it, just can't get it to operate..... Can't add photos.
I needed assistance a few times. Would certainly have been helpful to have printed instructions. Don’t understand why they are omitted. Once I got the help I needed everything is working perfectly. I do like the new printer.
I'm impressed with the speed, quietness, print quality, and versatility of this printer. I am very happy with it. My cat:is not happy; she used to sit on top of my old HP printer because it was flat. She would liek to register her complaint.
