Hi one of the best features is the document feeder especially for printing or scanning multi page documents. Easy to set up. Hp smart set up especially useful. For the money really pleased.
I had a very difficult time setting up, as I am not very computer informed. Asked a friend to assist, machine started to push paper through but did not print. Friend went away, came back and still no joy. Following day I had a fiddle and it is now working fine. I have not got a clue what I did, but it works. So my advice is get help before you start.
Easy set up as long as you give it time to warm up. To put the inks in but was very easy to set up for air printing. Impressed with it all.
Printer was as expecte,d replacing a previous HP printer that had done good service
Easty to set up and install. Even I managed it!
After 2 hours reading all the on line guides, uninstalling and re-installing a couple of times, and 4 hours on the phone to HP support, I could not get the printer to print from any of my devices, so returned it for replacement (excellent turn around from Amazon).
With a few more hours telephone help from HP, the new printer does print and scan on Windows 10 and ios devices, but struggles to print on my android 10 tablet and does not recognise the scanner at all. I am waiting for HP Tech Support to get back to me with a resolution or work around.
I feel sure that it will work fully soon, but can only give the printer 4 stars.
Hopefully my experience is not typical.
Fairly easy to set up with both android phone and ipad air.
Occasionally doesn’t connect but its an easy fix.
The ink plan is a bargain if you use the printer regularly. Perfect for families or small businesses who will use the printer fairly frequently.
The app is super easy to use.
Also great if you need to print things to scale. As a sewist this is incredibly important to me as my patterns need to be printed to scale and not enlarged/shrunk.
And if you use code vghf2c you’ll get some free ink!
Agood around printer, bit difficult to set up. It needs a mobile all to work it to it full capacity, INSTANT INK A MUST.
This printers ink cartridges are the smallest I’ve ever seen. It scans and prints fine and the ink price is better than most (but still too expensive in my opinion).
The noise level while printing is average and it takes a good minute after switching on to be ready to print.
Wi-fi set up is ok but you can not use the software (which you have to download to computer or phone) without signing up to one of their plans. I don’t want to have a plan OR have to sign in to print something out. Luckily most phones/computers will have their own basic printing software but still would have like to use HP’s.
The printer is a synch to set up and connects wirelessly with no problems. The print quality is prefect and it prints fast. Very happy with this purchase.
The HP scans, copies, and prints – yes it is a basic model but then most of us only have basic printing needs. I’ve printed quite a lot so far, and it’s all come out properly. So I am fairly chuffed.
The code that you can use for an extra 3 months of free printing: 8yzd7g
(in the process I proved the printer was working by connecting directly to it (from iPhone to printer and not via my Wi-Fi/broadband-router).
First I couldn’t see using the HP Smart(!) app on my Chromebook.
Then I did see it and connected it up via my iPhone.
Then it failed to register to HP (after several attempts).
Was about to call HP but then I decided to reset the printer (press a combo of buttons with the front flap open) and ‘hide’ the printer in the HP Smart App as one last attempt.
And at last it connected! (and I signed up to Instant Ink – 6 month trial with an extra 3 months using a code from one of the reviews here – thanks to whoever it was! My code if you want an additional three months free: z3btb8 ). Will see how usage goes. Will likely cancel the inking after my usage slows down/novelty wears off!
Printing seems reasonable. Can’t go wrong (apart from the set up) for 40.
Edit – typos and update: Printing is good enough for my needs (primarily black text). Did print a photo and was okay. I had to re-connect printer a couple of times but now it’s all fine.
And thanks to whomever for using my code!
While the overall performance of the printer is excellent, setting it up can be a bit of a challenge. The setup process is not particularly intuitive, and users may need to refer to the instruction manual or online resources to get the printer up and running. However, once the printer is set up, it works seamlessly and consistently.
Overall, the HP DeskJet 4120e All-in-One Color Printer is a great choice for anyone in need of a reliable and high-quality printer. While the setup process may be a bit difficult, the performance and features of the printer more than make up for it.
Fairly easy to install the software, from then on, all plain sailing. Good product, would recommend for home use & perhaps small offices?
Great printer, easily installed and my Mac picks it up from the wireless network without any installation. Print quality is very good as is the HP app that I installed on my phone. It also came with 6 months free instant ink subscription. First delivery arriving just a week after purchase. Great value and quality for just 39.99 uk pounds.
Good for casual printing like documents..
HP+ is the best thing for printing , use the CODE : scpwzq to get 3 months Extra of HP+

USE CODE : scpwzq for additional 3 months free of HP+
If you use my code x2k6th when you set up on your HP Smart App, you will get +3 more months FREE ink until end of April 2023
This is a good all-rounder. The quality of printing is excellent, and it prints quickly. The only reason I used 4 stars is that it did not print double-sided automatically – I had to feed manually which was very time consuming for the kind of work I do as a teacher.
Otherwise, it dos what it says on the tin.
Never had a printer before I always just asked friends to print stuff out for me when I required but decided it was the time to buy my own and I went for this one , I found it easy to set up and it is good that it has an app to use with it as that is very easy to use, the printing quality is perfectly acceptable and so far tough wood I have had no issues at all and printed a few fair bits off so far.

Don’t put the cartridges that come with the box if you are using the hp programme or swap them out when the ones from hp get to you . The sent ones will stop working if you leave the scheme whereas the ones that come with the printer will still work giving you enough time to get a replacement . To get an extra 3 months of free ink then use my referral code pnp2bc
Do like this printer but found it difficult to get started , it was not easy to setup as stated from my point of view.
I just needed a cheap printer for printing the odd thing for work/school. Not the fastest printer but for the price, it’s does me fine.
The inks are not available as compatibles at a lower price . You may need to buy grossly overpriced HP inks.
Shop around because there are some rip-offs out there.
I found that surprisingly enough that Amazon are the best value.
Installing the printer can be time consuming because this can only be done on the HP website . This involves registering an account and the following a set of instructions . It is advisable to connect using a usb cable so that the printer can be recognised by the computer for the setup to be completed.
You will then be asked to remove the usb cable because it is no longer required because the printer will be connected wirelessly. Its easy to connect to your mobile phone or tablet. just do a search for it and follow the instructions. You will need to enter your Broadband password at some point. if you use a lot of ink HP have a replacement programme at a lower price .
Good luck.
After years of paying for Canon inks for a ‘dumb’ printer, this wi-fi enabled HP one is better in nearly all respects. The print quality is pretty good (though not the best) and the ink is reasonably priced and lasts pretty well too. Copy and scan features work OK but only up to A4 size.
Possible to print to this from tablet or phone directly, using downloadable app.
Really happy with this for the price.
The setup with the app proved easy and straightforward and not too long before all was working. Print quality good, and ease of use of the AirPrint function was also very easy. Open document, click share or print and choose the printerjob done..highly recommended. Previously I had a Wifi printer (not AirPrint) and always had to use a cable, the Wifi printing just would not work
Easy to set up and use and has everything in the box ready to go – Yes even the INK!
I signed up to the INK package this time around as you get 6 months free so there was no reason not to, you then also get a Link to share that gives friends an extra free 3 Months on top to give 9 months of free printing. How about that!!
This is my code that you are welcome to use to get yourselves an extra 3 months during sign-up t3yqvt i will add it at the end as well as it is always nice to get an extra 50% free, it also give me an extra month which is good for me.
The HP is set up easily it Scans, Copies, Prints and does all that well, yes it is a basic model but then most of us only have basic printing needs.
That code again that you can use for an extra 3 months free printing: t3yqv
What sets this printer apart is the included 6 months of Instant Ink with HP+. It ensures that one never runs out of ink, as the printer automatically orders more when it’s needed. It’s a game-changer for me, as I no longer worry about constantly monitoring my ink levels or rushing to the store to buy more.
Overall, I highly recommend the HP DeskJet 4120e to anyone who is looking for a reliable and cost-effective printing solution.
HP+ is the best thing for printing no need to buy ink they will send it and u can print up to 700 pages a month for 6 months then u can pay a small fee to print use the CODE : 8myfdb to get 3-4 months Extra of HP+ where you can get ink to print 2800 more pages.
No need to purchase expensive ink they will send it for free!!! Its called instant ink. It’s basically free ink when u have Hp+ and they send it before u run out so you never run out , and Hp plus is easy to install and the printer is easy to use. You have a smart app on ur phone which allows u to print whatever you want. It is a great printer, many people say printers are a waste of money however this printer is far from that, they also have 24hrs tech support help.
There is nothing not to love about this brilliant value for money printer.
USE CODE : 8myfdb for 4 months free of HP+
The rear paper feeder makes it take up more space than if the paper tray was at the bottom like some other printers, but it is fine for my needs.
Print quality and scan quality are good for the price. You could get better by paying more for a fancier printer, but I’ve used it to scan some important documents and everything is legible. Worth noting there’s no feed for the scanner so you have to manually add each page, but you can add each one to the same scan so they all end up in one document rather than a separate document per page.
Printing speed is slow-average. I’m used to a big beasty printer at work that chucks out a page every couple of seconds. I printed a 27 page document yesterday on greyscale ‘draft’ quality and it still took about 10 minutes.
In summary, this is a great printer for low use home needs or perhaps occasional business use for basic documents. If you’re doing a lot of printing or scanning, the slow speed is likely to get frustrating and you’d be better investing a little more in one with a scanner feed tray.
When it works it’s brilliant but I had issues trying to connect it to the app HPSmart as instructed. Cannot extinguish the information light.
My trusty old Canon came up with an ink absorber alert and told me to call an engineer but buying this new version was a much cheaper option. If you want 3 extra months of free ink please feel free to use my promo code wtxw9f when you sign up for the HP ink deal (I also get 3 months). Thank you to someone else who shared their code with me. Only had the printer for a few days but was easy to set up and print quality seems good. The white also makes it blend much better in my spare room (as old one was back which looked a bit industrial)
Quick and easy to install, easy to use and printing from mobile is a breeze. Really happy with this, does all i need it to and isn’t bulky or heavy. Replaced my last printer with this which has more functions and comes with ink, all for the cost of what ink cost for my last printer. Replacement cartridges cost approx 20 for colour and black as twin pack
Cheap, easy to setup and print quality is fine for home use and occasional or work items needed in paper.
This is an excellent printer. Setting up was straight forward. Downloaded the app on phone and everything just worked. It picked up my 6 month free trial straight away and I used a code off someone’s Amazon review and it gave me another 3 months. If anyone else wants to use this code 4prxt9 then you will also get an extra 3 months trial and so will I. So win win.
Once I set everything up through the phone I did the same on my laptop and again was straight forward.
Since installing the software it has ran excellent. I have installed it on all the kids computers and the wife’s. Again no problems whatsoever.
I’d consider myself tech savy but the printer did take some effort to install. Originally I tried to use the HP Smart app on my macbook but for some reason it was having trouble connecting to the internet. I instead switched to the mobile app, and had some difficulties to begin with but the reference guide saved the day! I’ve only printed two pieces of paper but it seems to be ok and that was with the starter ink cartridges! Not even the Insta ink ones. If anything changes, I will keep you posted. If anyone wants three extra months of free insta ink use the code yfhgtp
One week in and I am very pleased with this printer. It was very easy to set up and is so much quieter than my last printer. I signed up for Instant Ink and was able to obtain three further months of free ink by using the code that an Amazon reviewer had put in their review. My code for anyone who wants to use it for three months free ink is 9v7bty
Good for home use in small budget. Really like HP+ Instant Ink and I got 9 months free ink server from HP.
For free 9 months use the below code:
Code: ncqw12
Use the mentioned code for additional 3 months, total 9 months (6 months +3 months free)
Code: ncqw12
Happy printing!
I’ve been using this printer for 6 months now and I really have never had an issue with it – and I print a LOT! I find it light, neat and efficient. The print quality is every bit as good as the huge Epson printer that I had before, which cost a fortune in ink. All this and I never have to think about ordering ink – it just appears! Use code p8qz1m for an extra 3 months during January – and an extra month after that. Enjoy!
Had difficulty with setting up printer using the HP Smart App on my phone. Customer support via Whatsapp was really helpful and we got there in the end.
No issues with getting my 6 months free instant ink and using code vsmmpd during enrollment I got an extra 3 months so now have a total of 9 months free ink.
The printer itself does exactly what I need it to do. Not a huge user of a printer so the Deskjet is ideal and thought very good value for money.
Needed a cheap printer quickly and the added bonus of free ink for 6 months plus 3 extra months using this code rnchbm made it a no brainer.
Initial setup was easy just download the app to phone and follow instructions, you can also download app to PC, tablet etc.
Tip, if you move the printer to a different Wi-Fi network just add as a new printer to enter password.
New free ink! shipped to me in a week automatically which is great.
Print speed and quality great so far but does take a few seconds to start which I think is the printer checking that you are the account holder as it is wireless.
Great printer with good print quality and fast printing. However, during setup I had a lot of trouble connecting the printer to my HP account so that I can take advantage of the HP+ features and redeem the free Instant Ink trial. HP support were really great and took me through everything on the phone. The issue is now fully resolved.
qssrh5 please use it, we get 3 months free ink each
With the family and friends codes you can get 3 months free ink each time someone uses your code. .
I was on holiday when my next lot of ink arrived because the printer is talking to the ink regulator without human interference.
Freepost bags supplied to return & recycle empty cartridges.
Printer isn’t too heavy nor ugly and it seems to print very quickly.
Scanner is perfect & you can do so much with this if you think about it.
Buying my mum one.
1 problem : they say share your code for 3 months but I was only given a code 2 months after I bought it.
Still great though
Only downside is that every device that wants to print to it has to download the HP Smart app.
Free ink is a bonus and if you use code gkvk9v at sign up you will get an extra 3-months free ink.
Comes with 6 months free HP+ ink subscription which you can make 9 months with code d4f3dx during set up!
Printer was easy to set up. Fast to connect to the internet and prints pages perfectly fine. Using it on my iPhone via the app. Also able to print from PC. Super simple process. I just plugged it in. Set it up following the instructions. Got the app and linked it to Wi-Fi. My PC and phone found it immediately. Prints are spot on. Holds lots of paper. Ink delivery is super fast through the sub too.
Don’t forget the code: d4f3dx to extend yours!
It came in a sturdy cardboard carton. By the way, it was not encased in any other box so anyone can see what it was on it’s journey, something whilst not wanting wasteful packaging, I personally am not keen on. Inside it was securely packaged too. The printer was well wedged between thich cardboard packing buffers, and was sealed in cellophane wrap. Once this was removed, and all the other smaller fiddly bits of card and tape that stopped things moving about I could actually start setting up the printer.
The first task was to download the HP Smart App. Then, with the simple instruction I set to work getting the printer connected to my network. I am slow and methodical about this sort of thing, so, it did take me about 15 minutes. But, it was relatively simple. Lots of things to agree to on the way. I guess this is important because of GDPR in Europe but still a pain in the bum. I then discovered I had to install this HP Smart App, on my Tablet, and my laptop if I wanted them to use the printer. The phone and tablet also needed the HP Printer Service installed as well. I think it was about an hour before I actually printed a test page, and then a couple of documents from my laptop.
Because of the sensible, and necessary security protocols employed, printing is never going to be instant. For a simple, single sheet document it too about 10 seconds for the printer to come to life. For a colour print, more like 20 to 25. I will be honest, my eyesight is not good enough to objectively comment on quality, but, at first glance, the printouts I got were clear and readable and there were no gaps or smudges.
Overall, I am happy. It is not too noisy, and sits nicely in the same footprint as my old 1050, so not re arranging the stuff on the desk to accommodate it. A good buy in my book.
The printer was insistent that I should install it using the HP Smart app, but that didn’t play nicely. After several stuck attempts at that, I tried the embedded web server but that again told me to use the App. Grrr.
Finally I managed to get the printer to appear on my HP account, but there was no way I could get it to enrol into my Instant Ink account!
After messing about for several hours, I gave up and rang HP Support. After a very patient 45 minutes with the nice chap on the phone, it was finally sorted. Even the HP man didn’t understand what was going on.
Now it is working I’m very, very pleased with it, and would recommend the printer as long as you’re patient enough to get it working.
If you’re new to The Instant Ink service, be sure to use the codes FREEINK and my code h7tGH for two free months printing when you join. I find Instank Ink much cheaper and easier than buying my own cartridges.
SIX MONTHS ON – After six months of near daily use, I still stand by the review, although I’d perhaps up the stars to four from three, given the printer’s faultless service. I’ve had two automatic deliveries of ink from HP as my existing cartridges were getting low. I love the fact that with Instant Ink it doesn’t matter what you print – a page can be a single full stop, or it can be a full A4 colour print. When I was buying cartridges myself, I was always wary of printing lots of colour on a page. With the Instant Ink system those worries have gone. So, buy this printer. If you struggle setting it up (you will) ring HP. They will sort it. Once you’re set up, you’ll be able to print wirelessly from your computer and smartphone.
18 MONTH UPDATE: Again, still very pleased with this printer. Pretty much daily use for a few pages, and it has never been a problem. I tend to do most of my printing from my iPhone and iPad, and I love how easy and reliable that is.
PRINTER
The printer itself is incredibly easy to use, with unfussy paper and document feeds and a no-fuss glass plate scanner which works quietly and quickly. My last printer was a very fussy Pixma and, in comparison, this piece of kit is significantly easier to use, load and maintain.
The print quality is good enough for us to have printed out photos onto normal paper for framing, and the printer will print large documents efficiently and quickly. It’s very quiet when it’s at work so you don’t have to worry about the background hum interrupting phonecalls and the like.
It’s nice to have a very straightforward, simple way to load paper and to be able to scan bundles of documents at once. Similarly, the ink cartridges are easy to orient and load, though the first stout “CLICK” was a little unnerving!
SOFTWARE AND SET-UP
To set it up, you need to log it onto your wireless network and then find it in your network on your device, which can seem a bit fussy if you’ve never had to do it before, but does mean you only need to do it once and then it’s sorted.
I can understand why some people might find the setting up process a bit of a pain, especially as it relies so heavily on Bluetooth AND wi-fi. The only thing I can say is to get a cuppa and work through it slowly, starting with turning on Bluetooth on your phone while downloading the HP app and taking it from there.
Setting it up on a static PC is actually a little more difficult and requires you to download software from 123.hp.com and then it can be a bit mystifying to get the printer visible on your machine, particularly if it’s already part of your network.
HP+
Truly the biggest hang up I have about printers is the cost of ink replacement and good quality paper. I don’t print often and, on my last printer, found the sudden cost-hit of cartridges to be really expensive. Plus they couldn’t be reused or recycled and it all just felt incredibly wasteful.
It’s good to see that HP have given this thought and developed a monthly subscription model that factors in the cost of your ink. But it’s actually far more than that – your ink gets delivered to you automatically, you send back the old cartridges for refill and reuse and they even allow you to roll over unused pages to the next month of your plan.
On top of that, I’ve got about 9 free months of ink = allowing up to 700 pages a month to be printed (colour and black and white) – which is an incredibly good deal for what will end up being 4 for the whole year.
CONCLUSION
Getting 2 desktops, 2 phones and a laptop to be able to connect to the printer was a bit annoying and, particularly the laptop, very frustrating. However, once done, the app allows you to print from literally anywhere (a friend of ours who is also my son’s English tutor printed a Christmas greeting from the other side of the country!), and allows you to easily track how much ink is left, how many pages you’ve printed, whether a new ink delivery is on the way and so on.
The printer itself is quiet, efficient and easy to use, and has been surprisingly enjoyable to use once everything was sorted, and signing up to HP+ is the cherry on top as I don’t feel I’ll be hit with 40 cartridge costs out of the blue anymore, while knowing that sustainable wood and cartridge recycling is all part of the service.
Really happy.
I received my printer quickly after ordering and it arrived well packaged. In the box there is instructions for setting up, some ink cartridges and also a leaflet for setting up HP instant ink. I set up the printer via my phone, which is great that you can do this if you don’t have a computer! Although it wasn’t as straight forward as I’d hoped. Downloading the app was easy, it took a while for the printer to connect to the internet and be recognised on the app. I did have to download a second app before I could print anything. It definitely took a bit longer to set up due to the technical difficulties but once up and running you are good to go! The first thing I printed out was some of the free colouring sheets on the HP app so my little boy was delighted! The actual printing process is quick but a little noisier than I expected. The actual print out is clear and no issues with alignment or anything. I am still using the cartridges that came with the printer so that is a bonus, I did sign up to the instant ink subscription service, which was really easy to do so I already have more ink waiting for when I do need to replace the cartridge, so I have peace of mind mind I don’t need to shell out for ink as its all been paid in small amounts monthly and I only pay for what I need! If you signed up you also got 6 months free ink which is a really good deal! I would recommend this printer to friends and family as once set up it is really easy to use. I can print documents via my phone downstairs and collect from my printer when needed. The actual printer is bigger than my previous printer but you can also copy & scan with this printer so that is expected. The paper inlet & outlet trays fold up to keep it compact.
