This printer is a huge disappointment to me. I had used the 8160 for many years and loved its printing ability, speed, ease of operation, and controls. I have enjoyed very few of these features on the 8135 model, which I purchased thinking it was the closest to the 8160. Printing is noticeably slower, the paper does not remain secure in the tray so I often need to push it forward to get the printer to work. My previous printer had a spring loaded device to push the paper forward. Reading the control screen is more difficult as well
New printer does not work. It is locked with error message relating to the M ink cartridge. Brand new cartridge. It will not print anything including test page.
This printer is not as sturdy as my HP 8610 printer - which I used for eight years. Had I known the screen size was a little over two inches, I would not have bought this one. Tiny screens might work on cell phones, but when the printer is on a waist-high table, it is very difficult to type in codes. The length of my nails keeps me from being able to type in the codes; I tried using a stylus with a foam tip, but the screen did not recognize the touch of the stylus. Problem #2 - I cannot print envelopes yet and haven't had the time to call the tech team for help. #3 - I keep getting notices that the tray is out of paper, or that the wrong size/type of paper is in the tray. It was not out of paper, nor was the paper the incorrect type or size for what I wanted to print. #4 - When I tried printing color pictures from my laptop, only the 1st picture came out okay. The next ones were a blurry streak of colors. #5 - There is not a simple, easy way to make a copy. You have to press several places on the screen to do that. Why isn't "print on one side" the default? I keep forgetting to change the setting.
not too bad to setup. print quirky as pages not always fully printed. photo print a pain to work thru screen it is a so so printer only reason I bought is the cartridges are cheaper and longer lasting than last HP I had
