[Original Review: March 3, 2024]
[Purchase Date: July 19, 2022]

I gave my previous HP Envy 5055 away and kept my Brother laser printer. Then I found myself wanting to do color posters on photo paper for a non-profit. I wasn't looking to break the bank and reviews for this printer were great. I purchased it in July 2022.

While I do have a love/hate relationship with HP's newer software, the printer installed easily, it rarely has connection issues and the remote Smart printing came in useful a few times. A feature I never figured I'd use.

I did probably 30-50 posters with this printer. Granted that eats up the extremely expensive, HP Genuine ink I was buying, they printed BRILLIANTLY. Especially on photo paper and then laminating them afterwards. They were beyond my expectations. There was fading when the ink was low, but that is to be expected. New cartridges had me right back to the stunning quality the first batch had. However, over time, I wasn't printing as often and the line streaking began.

I'd print a document and every other line would either me faded or non-existent. After multiple print head cleanings, an alignment and page smear, it would print correctly.

Here is the problem with that: the ink cartridges, especially the XLs I buy are expensive and it's wasting ink to do those tests and cleanings.

Fast forward to March 2024 the time of this review. I'm not sure how old the cartridges in the printer are. I've not done much printing, and I have probably printed 15 pages now and it's still streaking no matter what I try. I plan to buy one more batch of ink and test those. Maybe these cartridges have just sat too long and will not work correctly no matter what I try; which is a shame because they are half full.

In the next month or so I will try one more time with HP Genuine cartridges, either the 64XLs or 64s. If everything works correctly, I will amend this review. In the meantime, my suggestion would be unless you print in color and often, I would avoid this printer. If you do print in color and often, like I said at the beginning the first 30-50 prints were full color posters and they looked amazing. Cartridges can start to have issues after 6 months in an ink jet printer from my experience.

[UPDATED REVIEW: March 16, 2024]

I ordered some Official HP 64 cartridges... not the XLs as I didn't know how much printing I'd be doing if they did fix the problem, and if they didn't, well I'm not paying double to test something.

Removed the old cartridges, the black one looked dried out for sure. I replaced with the new cartridges. Printer acknowledged "genuine" cartridges were in. I've only used the official/genuine cartridges. It did one alignment/cleaning and the page came out perfect. I had it do a page smear which came out clean too.

I did a full color graphic print and it came out perfectly. Problem solved.

The cartridges were the culprit. So my suggest to anyone who doesn't print as often as I do. If you know you're doing a bulk color print job, buy the XLs, you'll go through the ink. If you aren't doing any bulk jobs but need to replace your cartridges, just buy the regular 64s and if 6 months goes by and you haven't replaced them, at the first sign of ugly printing, replace them. It solved my problem and my faith is restored in this printer.

5 Stars. I highly recommend this printer for anyone who wants a budget friendly color printer that can do high quality photo or graphic printing on regular or photo paper.

HP made a very well designed printer with great functionality.
Smart setup & smartphone app for add'l control & options & it comes with free automatic refill ink by mail for a period of time. If you allow it, HP will be connected to printer, to sense ink levels & auto ship ink to save you time & money & running to the store.
After that long period of free refill ink, your ink purchases are discounted over store prices.

This printer produces true-color prints and copies time after time. It offers wireless connection to other devices for easy printing from several sources. The document scanner works well. The ink cartridges can print many full-color images before running low. Automatic ink cartridge replacement shipments are available from HP.

After weeks of trying to connect a Canon printer to my laptop and network wirelessly (watched YouTube videos and everything), I returned it and went back to HP. I was able to set this printer up in under 5 minutes. So far it’s working as expected. I declined the instant ink offers because that seems to be what the bad reviews are for

I replaced my older Canon photo printer that broke after several years with this HP Printer which is an upgrade to the Canon. I am really impressed with how easy it was to connect to the wi-fi in my home as I use it for both personal and business matters. You do not have to be that computer literate to set it up and the printer also came with the perk of 6 months of free HP ink which I set up through the printer and app on my phone. I printed about 50 pages and HP emailed me that they are sending my first two cartridges in the mail which I received within a week. Great service so far. I printed out photos also and they were a bit darker than life but not so dark that you could not edit the photo a bit lighter. The quality of the photos was great. I highly recommend this printer at a good price by the way, to anyone who wants to print clear pages and excellent photos.

Had a problem connecting to my wireless network until I realized I had to install the "HP Smart app" on every smartphone, desktop & laptop I wished to print from. Once I did so, printing was easy & print quality was terrific for both documents & photos.
