5.0 out of 5 stars Wiggley Odd Printing When Printing Envelopes
Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2023
Model name: NewVerified Purchase
Overall, I would say this printer is a solid one for its price.

The paper tray takes some getting used to. (Push the buttons on both sides of the top of the computer's paper tray, and pull that off first. Then pull the paper tray out. Install the paper. Push the paper tray back in. To put the top of the tray back on, push the buttons, and slide it back on.)

HP's instructions on how to install ink is missing one piece of the puzzle: there is a "button" on the left-hand side of the lid that needs to be pushed to open the cover to get to the ink cartridges area. (DO NOT FORCE OPEN THE LID, OR YOU WILL BREAK IT.) I would suggest using the eraser end of a pencil or a pen that has not been pushed open for writing (hope that make sense) to push down on the button. Push down and open the lid. Otherwise, you are going to have to push really hard with your finger.

But, the one thing that was very frustrating for me was printing envelopes within Word. For example, I use #10 envelopes (generally referred to as business envelopes). I have used the mailing/envelopes feature within Word for many many years, and so I know what I am doing. Nevertheless, the print on the envelopes kept coming out with hashy-wiggley odd printing. A postal carrier could never read it.

After getting nowhere with HP Support, I decided to launch the HP Smart application that comes with the printer and resides on the computer. I did so and just had a look around. I noticed that the automatic hardware updates was not turned on. I turned it on, and began to test again.

Long story short, the printing of envelopes from Word was successful. If you have a similar problem, you might want to try this. However, after you have turned on the automatic hardware updates, wait for a few minutes (let's say five minutes). Next, turn your printer off and then turn your computer off. Wait for 30 seconds. Turn your PRINTER on, then, after waiting a minute for the printer to be fully up and running, turn on your computer.

This process helped me. If you experience the above, I hope this helps you as well.

Again, I find the printer to be overall fine in printing letters, scanning documents, and printing photos. People have mentioned something about it making clicking noises when not in use. I have no idea what they are talking about. My HP OfficeJet 8015e printer is very quiet. And, though it does not have the paper capacity of my much older and much bigger printer, I find that the amount of paper that I can put into the printer at a time is sufficient...and, most important, as I have grown older, the printer is not heavy.

I hope this review helps you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Print Quality + Linux Friendly
Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2024
Model name: NewVerified Purchase
I have/had an Envy 6055e which was problematic from day one. For some reason, it "decided" that it would no longer connect to my network. Most of the problems stem from the fact that it has no panel (never again). Moreover, there was considerable latency from computer to printout.

This Office Jet does have an LED panel. It took me about five minutes, using my phone, to set up the printer. You could also set it up from the panel. This thing is much faster than the Envy, and it is less expensive. The Envy is possibly a better photo printer.

I once had to scan 80 pages for a ProPublica article I was contributing to. It took many hours. This Office Jet has a document feeder. Overall, the print quality is superb and fast. No smears. I am extremely satisfied.

5.0 out of 5 stars So far so good, much better than others I tried
Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2024
Model name: NewVerified Purchase
I'm a regular household user (ok, also a teacher, but not the kind who prints All The Things) but had an old Officejet because of a crazy black Friday deal back when black Friday deals were crazy. It died of old age and I thought I'd downgrade because budget. But I just couldn't go back to regular printers. I returned two out of frustration before deciding to just pay a little more and go back to Officejet, it's only been a couple of weeks but so far I don't think I'll have any regrets.

Pros:
+ Seems to be on sale often so it's not terribly more expensive than lower end printers.
+ The print quality is very good. I'm getting a drop of those light horizontal lines, but just a bit, and I bet they could be ironed out if I had time to sit around with settings or something. But overall I'm much happier than I was with the other printers I tried, text is sharper and colors are more true.
+ Paper tray is closed. I hate that all the new expensive printers these days have the paper sticking up from the back open to the elements. I can only assume their paper feeders get gummed up with dust pretty fast, and the papers themselves can't be too happy. The paper tray on this printer is great.
+ It's not noisy, relative to others.
+ HP Smart app is great, easy to use, has a nice set of functions.
+ Had no issues with setup.
+ So far seems to be picking up jobs just fine from my phone and laptop.

Cons:
- I really don't like the boxy design. I'm putting function over form but I really don't like it. And the front panel seems a bit flimsy, it's not the most important piece but my old Officejet didn't have a front panel that opened and I don't really see the point of this one as you need to lift the top to get inside anyway.
- would love to have a paper bypass tray. Like if you want to print one envelope, it would be great to have a place to just feed that in rather than remove your whole paper stack, change the size in the tray, print your envelope, and then put all the paper back.
- like I said before, I'm getting a drop of banding (is that what it's called? Tiny horizontal gaps?) When printing chunks of color. I'm not sure if this is fixable and the print quality is still the best I've seen in this price range, but it's a flaw.
- the touch screen could be a little more responsive
- That's... Really it so far. I had a lot more complaints with every other printer I tried.

Neutral:
~ Let's talk about instant ink. Many reviews had issues with this. They seem to not understand how the program works. It's not that complicated. No, you don't get six months worth of ink in the box with the printer. They will send the ink to your home as needed over six months if you sign up and give them your address. I haven't gotten to the end of the trial yet so I don't know if they actually brick your printer if you try to use generic ink, but they were very explicit about you agreeing not to do that when signing up. I have no issue with this because I did some math and I believe the instant ink actually is a better deal than even generic ink is. My old printer accepted generics (after an initial period of reluctance) and it wasn't all that exciting. And with subscription ink I won't need to worry about waste when the printer decides to clean the printheads (my old one did that a lot)
I do think it feels scammy for them to make you commit at the outset to never use other ink for the life of the printer (what?!) But at the same time I'm comfortable with what they're offering. I'll be annoyed if they raise the prices though, and I think if they're making you commit upon purchase then they in turn should commit to grandfathering you into the ink prices as of the time of the commitment.
~ Several times I've sent a print job from my phone, got an error message on my phone, while the job printed just fine. So it's good that the job printed fine, but it's weird and annoying that my phone thinks it didn't, and now I have an error notification sitting there, and if I'm not near the printer I don't know whether or not it actually printed or if I need to retry. I'll have to figure out how to make that stop. Maybe I'll need to uninstall and reinstall the phone app or something. Overall a very minor hiccup compared to the issues I had with other printers.

It took awhile to set up because the door that covers the ink cartridges was extremely hard to open. Once I was able to open the door, the ink cartridges were easy to load. The rest of the set up went smoothly. It's a great value for the money!

5.0 out of 5 stars Keeps going offlne
Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2024

SO in general I like it. However it keeps going off line I guess its a setting I need to change and do notknow how to do it so have to set aside the time to let tech support log int my computer to change it for me. I have instant ink as well so 6 months free ink came with it and get the extra paper too. If you go that route up in the new ink when it arrives or your printer will not work. ( that drove me nuts until I thought HMMM I wonder ) AND YUP I was right it started working however the going off line thing is a pain. My other HP Envy never went off line and so when my kids needed to print from their room it just worked. If anyone knows the fix please respond Id love it if that was fixed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not as compatable as they would have you to believe
Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2024

If you own a Mac with an intel processor you no that apple has just recently stopped support Mac’s with the Intel Processor I think HP jumped the gun just a bit by not providing a work around since Many businesses are still trying to upgrade their Mac systems. Despite this overlook I’’s a wonderful printer at a great price, but look at the cost of the ink cartridges before you jump in. You can over come this shock if you choose to own it rather that lease it, by enrolling in the instant ink and or paper services. For a monthly fee they monitor you ink and if you choose their paper service, lapped usage and before you run out they ship you ink or paper before you run out. I tried to take a guess at my printer usage a was I off so without any issue during there trial period I changed my plan. Now I don’t need to go to the Office supply store or order online hoping that they have my cartridge in stock or if the ink will be here on time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Printer Fit for any home
Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2024

Of all the printers I have and have had this one is my favorite. I love that the paper is loaded in the front. There is simple instructions to follow in the booklet as well as the touch screen. At times when I became somewhat confused about something HP made it simple by my calling their customer service which gave se simple instructions and answers right away. Any time I buy printers I can always count on HP but this 8015e printer is truly the best and you best believe I have tried ALOT of them

I don’t wanna ruin my Good Luck {lol} because this copier /printer etc has been absolutely great!! I had the $40 version and soon as I need to change Wi-Fi services or change any wireless it was a massive undertaking to get it back soon as I went to this $110 style I can change and re-hook and change and re-hook it’s absolutely a breeze highly recommend This to the person that needs to be able to get it hooked up and get the job done and move on, or the person that will never move it, but may change services twice and six years or whatever!!

5.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT sign up for hp+ software and this printer works great
Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2024
Model name: NewVerified Purchase
I see all the negative reviews and I felt the need to leave review and let people know regardless of what the set up tells you you do t have to sign up for hp+ software. It is super misleading and I would probably say borderline illegal the way that they portray that you have to sign up for the HP plus software during the set up. If you’re not text savvy it pretty much makes you think that you have to. I think this is a scam so that you Are defaulted into the AutoShip Inc. program which is nonsense. Just buy your ink on Amazon and many of the third-party inks work just fine the key is when you’re going through the set up on the little touchscreen on the printer and it tells you you have to scan the QR code. Otherwise you can’t go on and that it’s required Just press a little? Symbol and it will tell you that you have to do this to proceed but also ask you if you want to cancel. Don’t let that scare you just press cancel. It will default to the home screen of the printer go through the alignment process that it gives you instructions for and then hit the little wireless button and connect it to your Wi-Fi at your house which is just requiring username and pass. After doing that, my phone automatically recognized it through air print on iPhone and my Mac automatically recognized it when going to printers and pressing add printer. That was it and printing no problem seems like all of the issues that arise are when using HP plus and trying to use that set up creates a host of problems and networks the printer back to HP. Just don’t do that and use it like a regular printer and you won’t have any issues. Really sucks that they force this on you and literally, use the words you cannot set up the printer if you don’t do this in the set up menu which is blatantly false. I bought this HP printer to replace a very similar all-in-one that I use for about 10 years with no problems. Finally the scanner we all started to give out, so bought this one to replace get past the set up and these HP all in ones seem to last forever. Good luck.

This printer replaced an old HP printer and I wanted one I could use with ease. This was a good buy, one that was affordable and had the features I needed - and some I didn't know I needed! I recommend this model to those needing an efficient, easy-to-use printer.
