I have owned HP printers since the early 1990s. This is likely my last HP printer. It will not install without WiFi or direct internet connection; it cannot be installed via the PC. While the sales info states it will operate via USB to the PC, the installation process warns this will only work temporarily. The internet connection through my router is far slower than the direct USB connection. I don't like that HP keeps track of what and when I print. That said, it prints OK.
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
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
The colors are not nearly as bright nor as crisp as I had hoped. As most of my printing is colored pictures, this was not the right printer for me and I will not be able to use it for anything but letter printing.
we bought this printer about a month ago for personal use ( and so far it has been great. The set up was super easy with the app. we already had the HP instant ink program with our previous printer ( which by the way is also wonderful) and switching it to the new computer was one click!! so far we've only used the printing aspect but will soon be trying the scanning option. the print quality has been good and the printer itself is quieter than our old one(also an HP). I would recommend this printer.
