The printer looks good and feels solid. Set up was a bit fiddly as it was not straightforward to get the app to search for my Wi-Fi network. Adding the printer ink was simpler than I thought so no regrets about moving from a cartridge to a tank system. Controlling scanning on the app is cool though I would have preferred there to be a button and USB port as an alternative.
Great printer that is easy to set up and use. Good print quality and a big saving on ink in the future. Would have liked a button on the main panel to scan rather than through the app / software. Otherwise a great buy.
Crisp clear copy, easy set up and cheap ink.
Only time will tell. Print head is replaceable maybe that’s how HP are going to make their money. There is no photo paper tray, but for the odd copy that’s not a problem. On decent paper the machine can produce a reasonable colour print. Black and white text is good on documents and the copy function is good for single sided copy, shame they didn’t bring the duplex function to the document feeder. Machine is compact and seems solid, if it lasts as well as the last HP printer I will be more than happy.
I purchased this printer 3 months ago, after I was no longer willing to pay the price the manufacturer wanted for their printer cartridges and, after the last “update” the printer would no longer accept generic cartridges.
I decided on this printer after reading a review in Which? magazine.
After 3 months, I am still happy with this printer.
It was easy to install, it prints on both sides of the paper, the ink tanks are big enough to take enough ink for multiple printing (from home) and the ink cost a fraction of what the pre-filled cartridges were costing.
Very easy to set up with the app. Printer quality very good. Works both on my iPad and iPhone ink is non spill and easy to load. First class printer and is front loading paper which is a bonus because it does not take up too much room
Highly recommend – cheap through ink tank refills, front loading tray so can be kept between shelves, and VERY easy connection/set up to phone and laptop through hotspoting (if this is what you need get it, do not get an Epson!)
I had a HP smart tank 455 which I loved but this one prints both sides of the paper. It is so easy to use.
The ink is so easy to top up and it last for such a long time. No buying all those expensive cartridges every month.
I wanted an ink tank printer and this one seemed to tick all the boxes. Some of the reviews I read worried me a little about setting it up. Couldn’t have been easier! Took it out the box, followed the instructions and it was up and running in no time. Print quality is good although I haven’t tried glossy paper photo printing yet but so far extremely pleased and would definitely recommend.
The printer wasn’t too much trouble to set up and connect to wireless network – just follow instructions. Print quality is great and filling up tanks is a lot easier than fiddling with new cartridges. My main complaint is about the mains power lead – the slightest movement of the printer (i.e when pulling out the paper tray to add paper) and the lead drops out of the connection port at the back of the printer and the printer has to reinitialise – usually meaning have to wait for printer to rejoin network and then resend print command. I have tried to push the lead in more securely but it doesn’t seem to want to stay in place.
No waterproof ink!
Obviously the value for money increases with the amount of printed pages.
HP tried to simplify the installation to a point that it actually felt unnatural, especially when, like in my case, the printer did it’s job but wasn’t recognised by the computer…I know sounds weird… It needed couple of attempts to install.
I had seen reviews that the printer was difficult to set up. I found the exact opposite. I downloaded the App and used my iPhone on IOS 15.7.1 and it was so simple I was worried I had missed something!
Print quality seems great and all the computers and phones and iPads in the house have found it and are happily printing away.
I love the HP’s smart tank 515 printer judging by print quality, cost of ink and HP smart app (iOS). I wanted auto duplex printing and an ADF, the model 7305 seems perfect. While printing supports auto duplex, ADF doesn’t so be aware of the potential catch. Setting up the printer is straightforward but the last step for Print Anywhere with AirPrint isn’t. It accepts empty credentials when it prompts me to create one, but won’t accept print jobs on empty credentials. It may not be the same for others, but I had to reset the printer and/or reinstall the HP smart app to put in a weak credentials that I regret immediately. Again, it may not be the same for others, but I found no ways to “change password” that I had to repeat the reset/setup process until I was happy about the credentials strength. Otherwise, I absolutely love the printer and the HP smart app that comes as a package.
Installation of ink cartridges for very hard as did not get clear instructions so I went online then everything was good. No problems after that. Easy to use. Very sturdy and looks nice.
Smaller than I expected as my old HP is a bit of a clunker in size. I am a Linux user so HP is a no brainer. Connects (with HPLIP) very easy. Print quality is better than expected and with hp photo paper, I am not getting smudge issues using colour. Sounds more expensive than your general printer but worth it in quality and ink refills as opposed to cartridges

This printer is replacing a 9 year old printer. I’m happy with how easy it is to set up and use compared to my old one. The print quality is great.

Setting it to connect with the WiFi was problematic. Took some patience, but got there in the end , with the help of technical support.

Loads of ink at a good price. Like the feed tray as printer sits on shelf under keyboard drawer.

A great buy so far.

It seems ok now but was difficult to set up.
