Hi there.
I’m sorry you’ve had a difficult start with your printer. I can wholly understand your disappointment, considering you’ve found the device difficult to use and you’ve not found the copy feature you expected. I want to help you resolve these issues, so I’ll provide some resources and clarifying information that I hope will reach that goal.
First, this printer is designed to make copies. I suggest you consult the main user manual on our support site, specifically the section in the table of contents called “Copy and Scan,” and, under that section, “Copy Documents.” Find that manual here: - www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c05152483.pdf
Next, to familiarize yourself with your printer’s various functions to make using it easier, or for help solving problems, you can access how-to documents, software updates and troubleshooting guides here: - support.hp.com/us-en/product/model/11262035
If you need further assistance with anything, I suggest that you contact us directly at +1 800-474-6836 so we can help you assess what’s happening and find the best course of action. To expedite the process, I recommend gathering the following information before the call:
- Model number - Serial number - Your location - Case number (from any previous contact with HP support)
Sadly my HP Envy printer died after many years so time for a new one. I went smaller as now retired and basically print recipes and knitting patterns. I enjoy the modern look of this little printer and the small space it requires. It was rather frustrating setting it up. The instructions were great and all went well and easy until I asked it to print It would not even though it was connected and secure with my network and internet. I went through all the robot online instructions and nothing helped. I finally resorted to the chat line and a prolonged wait for an agent. Once I was connected to an agent after over an hour online with him I finally have a printer that works. It was something evidently in the connection between the printer and computer. I let the expert tech take my computer over to figure it out and he was very knowledgeable. I have been using it now for about a week and am really enjoying it. The prints come out looking good and no problems. I do miss the automatic reloading feature when you want to print on both sides of the paper but this is a very basic nice printer. I have used and had excellent luck with HP products, both printers and all in one computers throughout the years.
I was able to hook my phone to it easily and print, but the print quality is poor. I have to try a few more prints to see if it might be a bad cartridge or if it’s just prints poorly. If that’s the case, the review will go down.
It can't print a legible envelope - it's got lots of whistles and bells which no one really needs but doesn't print envelopes. I'll try to pawn it off on somebody and get something else.
