Also, I try not to use color ink and if I print a page that is all black and white, it uses color it to make it some sort of dark blue color. Using the wireless settings it disappears and needs to be re-installed way too often. The printer works great and I would say it even prints faster than it's rated, but only when it's connected directly to the computer. Then I have to re-install and reset all of my settings.

Then a couple of days later it's as if I never set up the wireless function and it doesn't show up on any of my computers, laptop, desktop, or tablet. It will be recognized by the desktop and laptop. Once the wireless printer was set up it continues to show up as "Unrecognized" on different computers. It took a while to get it set up for wireless printing. When the printer works, it works great but overall it's just caused too many problems. I think it is great for a school student, but definitely not what I would recommend for a family or a working professional. My overall impression of this printer are good for the market it is meant to be in. This does offset some of the costs but overall the cartridges are not that amazing. I do my best to purchase them in the extra large capacity or in the combination kits. They are mediocer at best for their ink capacity and a bit expensive for what you get. This unit uses a two cartridge system with the 61 black and the 61 color cartridges. It does however make some great looking photos at a negative cost of the ink. IT does a great job of reproducing laboratory quality photos. I have used it to print high definition photos when I was unable to make it to the store to do so. He works on his school projects and prints copies for class. He is in school and it suits all of his needs. I purchased this printer for my son about a year ago. Overall though, this little thing is great for a low price and is really easy to find because so many different retailers sell it. The only complaint I have is when I put new ink in the printer, it sometimes wants to continually do a paper alignment test, which can be both time consuming and a waste because it uses both your ink and paper to do so. The copy feature is really nice when you need to send someone a copy of something, but want to hold onto the original - just put the paper in where the paper goes and click the copy button and you have an exact duplicate in a matter of seconds!Īnother thing to note is the ink for HP printers seems to priced at a moderately lower price than most other companies and is also easy to find. For someone who is looking to print at a more basic level (great for students), this printer is perfect! I am working on a masters degree and this little all in one device is perfect! I can print from anywhere in my apartment since it's wireless and I can easily edit documents my teacher sends me for my online classes using the scan feature.
