As a retired Accountant, I like to print and have supporting documentation. For over six years I owned an OfficeJet Pro 8610 that never had a paper jam. However, that changed with this model. It seems that approximately 50% of the time there is a paper jam with this unit, especially printing multiple pages. It seems like a 'crap shoot' every time I hit the print button, whether or not I'll get a print-out. And on really frustrating days, the printer locks up and displays code "8910092"; I have to unplug the unit to get it working again. I very much like HP printers and like to think I happened to buy a 'lemon' this time around. Unless I find a way to fix this problem, I will have to purchase a new printer by next tax season (and it probably won't be an HP). Lastly, the ADF does not work when scanning multiple pages.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

HP has paid a lot of attention to packing and unpacking the printer. Easy to unpack. Easy setup. Worked first time. Don't like the fact that HP can monitor my printer. What information they monitor, collect and use is unclear.
The paper tray does not hold the paper properly. When trying to print something that is several pages long from the computer, it tends to jam and misprints the second page. It is also very slow to print. Whoever designed this model (in my opinion) really messed up the paper handling feature!! Also, when starting the printer after it has been off, it makes a lot of clunky sounds as it goes through its procedures. My old HP OfficeJet Pro 8720 was SO MUCH BETTER!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi, Charles.
I’m sorry that you’ve encountered difficulty with your printer. I can wholly understand why unreliable feeder performance and paper jams would be tremendously frustrating, especially considering your previous HP printer gave you much better results. I want to help you remedy the problem. I hope the resources and information below serve that end.
First, I can’t tell from your review whether the paper jams happen at the document feeder or within the printer itself. If it’s the former, I recommend you follow the steps in a guide on our support site to document feeders that pull through too many pages at once or fail to pick up paper at all. Find that guide here: - support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01728503
If it’s the latter, I suggest going through the steps to clearing and avoiding paper jams that you’ll find in this troubleshooting guide on our support site: - support.hp.com/us-en/document/c06201289
If the problem persists – and for more input on how the feeding system might be malfunctioning – I recommend you contact us directly so we can help you assess what’s happening and find a solution.

I wanted to update my old HP OfficeJet Pro 8710 to the newer model, but found the new version 9015e AIO to be flimsily made - especially in comparison to the old model. Just to give you a sense of the difference, the new machine weighed almost half the 8710 -- so it seems to me that the new machine used less plastic which made it seem so fragile - the paper tray, the door to the ink cartridges and even the paper feeder/scanner at the top of the unit. I was afraid it would easily break -- it was like walking on eggs as I put it together.
Price-wise, the newer model was very good - one of the reasons I opted to get it -- especially with the instant ink offer that would give free ink for 9 months.
Technically, I'm sure this machine is great - but like I said above it seemed so fragile that I opted to keep my older 8710.
This thing eats paper. Sometimes on the first feed it crumples the page, and frequently when feeding the 2nd page it crumples and jambs.

Printer arrived on time. Setup was fairly straight forward if you followed ALL the instructions as required. After set up, Setting the preferences and printing was easy to complete.
