[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just purchased this printer and am more than pleased with its quality performance. It works well with b/w and color printing. It is compact and quiet. Easy set up. Also signed up for the Instant Ink program, which seems to be a good value for the money, given the cost of cartridges.
doesn't work... setup is not seamless. support is hard to find. tinkertoy.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi, Peter.
I’m sorry to hear that your printer displayed blinking light errors during setup. I can understand why that would be an unwelcome and frustrating surprise, so I’ll offer some resources and information that I hope will help.
I can’t tell from your review why your printer is not working like it should, so I recommend that you contact us directly at +1 800-474-6836 so we can guide you through the proper troubleshooting. (Please note that because of restrictions on personal movement and workplace attendance associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, wait times for agents are longer than normal. Thanks in advance for your understanding.) 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)
I'll also mention that HP printers have a one-year warranty from their purchase date that covers hardware as well as ink supplies, so if it comes to that, you might consider making use of it. You can verify the warranty using the following link: support.hp.com/us-en/checkwarranty
I am very disappointed in this product. I am accustomed to being able to plug and play and troubleshoot when necessary. Every step of the way so far, I have needed tech support because it lacks controls apart from the app. I dislike not being able to see what is going on inside my printer's processes especially when it does not connect.
I turn off my wifi and do unplug my printer (to save electricity like any other appliance). I do not like that it has so much trouble re-connecting to the network when I re-start it.
Wireless is not for me-- especially when there is no other communication option to command it to print. I dislike not having a screen with error or success messaging. I will return this, if possible.
I bought this printer (a new HP offering) to replace a workhorse (HP Officejet 4630) that died. My home needs for a printer are simple. Yes, Tango will turn ON and OFF, but only by pressing a button on the rear of the printer. Yes, Tango will print, but it pushes two or more sheets of paper through the printer, instead of one. Yes, Tango will scan, but only of of a photo on my cell phone. I can scan a document only by taking a photo of it. Tango is flimsy and not a good buy for an older citizen.
Nice enough little printer, I like the size and speed, easy to set up. I feel a bit duped though, as it's advertised as a "printer/scanner/copier", but the scan and copy functions are just "take a picture of it with your phone". Ok for scanning a page or two, but I occasionally need to scan multi pages and it's not very convenient.
Looks great, prints great and the instant ink is a great deal! Doesn't look like a office or cheap printer. Fits in a modern living room without trying too hard!
