This is a great looking unit and the printing quality is quite good, but it doesn't receive faxes. If I had known that, I would not have bought it. I have a large laser printer, so my major use for this unit is scanning and faxing.
Couldn't be more happy to be back with HP printers. Back to '99, it was the only printer brand I ever bought or recommended. Last time out, I thought maybe I had been limiting my selections without any real evidence. Maybe I was just loyal to the brand? I went with a brand that a former american tennis great rep'd camera's for in the 90's. The short of it, I was wrong. Very wrong. There's nothing like an HP printer. Ease of setup, reliability of equipment, and smart ink management, including ability to print black without C, M, Y... their mobile app is outstanding and better then when I left the HP brand 2 years ago. Do your future self a favor and buy an HP printer. P.S. I didn't hesitate for one second when I saw that this model was refurbished. It speaks to the confidence I have in their quality.
It took almost 2 hours to get it set up and I’m still not sure if I got the Plus for free 6 months
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Set-up was fairly easy, but printing took a bit to figure out. From my laptop, I couldn't print a FedEx label/Word or Excel document directly from the application but had to save the doc as a PDF in order to print it. Other than that, color printing looks great, the printer doesn't produce much noise, and printing is fairly quick.
I was recommended the HP printer by the tech support agent based on my budget and usage level. I believe the rep was doing due diligence and he explained patiently how he arrived at the final pick. He did give 3 final choices to pick from. Delivery was very prompt. Printer (white color) was flawless in appearance. Set Up was a breeze as once again I relied on tech support. I highly recommend signing up with HP Instant Ink for your printer needs. I made that decision in 2015 and have not regretted it.
I purchased this printer to replace the one that stopped printing with blue. It worked amazing when I first started to use it. Now it goes off line along and won't print, so I have to reset it alot.
