HPSmart -Tank 7301 Wireless All-in-One Cartridge-free Ink Printer, up to 2 years of ink included, mobile print, scan, copy, automatic document feeder (28B70A), Gray

This thing was pretty easy to set up. I'm not big on using a smart phone for setting up computer peripherals so I ignored that part in the Setup Guide. Since I planned to connect my printer with a USB cable, I just skipped ahead in the Setup Guide to the Manual Installation instructions. The first step is filling the ink tanks which is pretty simple and takes only a few minutes - make sure you follow the directions. Then came the first hiccup - you have to install 2 printheads onto the print carriage. The tiny picture in the book wasn't much help in figuring out how to put the printheads in place. But take a breath and just examine the things for a minute and you'll figure out how to snap them into place (they only go in one way and the printhead cover won't close unless they are correctly installed).If, like me, you are using a USB cable to connect the printer, I'm not sure why you have to download and install the "HP Smart Software". But I did as instructed and followed the instructions which weren't much more than "plug in the USB cable" and you are ready to go.Then hiccup #2: for my first print job, I attempted to print a picture from the Windows Photo app. Click on "Print" and nothing. Oh No! But then I noticed a error message at the bottom of the print dialog - something about a conflict with another device. I then turned OFF the switch labelled "Let the app change my printing preferences" and voila! The printer sprang to life and printed my picture. And no problems since. This could have easily been a Windows issue having nothing to do with the printer, but I mention it just in case it happens to someone else.HUZZAH! 1. Simple setup for USB connection. 2. color prints look very nice (see my Caveats below) 3. small physical footprint for an All in One - respectful of the limited real estate on your computer desk 4. Fairly zippy print speed 5. Two sided printing works fine 6. I really like the automatic "Sleep Mode". You don't have to worry about turning off the printer when you are done with your job. And it will instantly awaken when you need to print something. I just leave the printer ON 24/7 and let it sleep away when I'm not using it. 7. This model has an ID Card copying feature. It will copy both sides of an ID card and print both sides to the same sheet of paper. I haven't tried this, but the feature looks useful (you will have to download the 104 page User Guide from the HP web site to see how this function works). 8. This printer will print envelopes but, again, you will need to refer to the 104 page User Guide to see how to load the envelopes.GRUMBLE: 1. Buttons on the Control Panel are not well marked and difficult to see - get out your label maker! 2. print head installation a little tricky 3. Copy function (including the auto feeder) works well but copying is a little pokey.These petty grumbles will not let me waiver from my 5 star review.A couple of caveats about my review: 1. As I set my printer up with a USB connection, I didn't attempt to set up, or even mess with, the WiFi mode. 2. I've never used an Ink Tank printer before so I can't comment on that function. But filling the tanks was quick and simple. A couple of other reviews had complaints of spilled ink, but the supplied ink bottles appeared pretty spill proof to me. Even turning them upside down to fill the tanks didn't result in a single spilled drop. 3. The few color prints I have made are documents and cartoons I printed on plain paper. I have not attempted to print any photo quality prints on photo paper so I can't comment on the print quality of photos. 5. I have no need for the SCAN function, so I've never tried it.Finally, you will benefit from downloading the comprehensive 104 page User Guide from the HP Support web site. It's in PDF format so you can read it from Adobe Acrobat Reader.

This printer is an at home printer for those odd 1 or 2 print outs that you need. THIS IS NOT A WORK/OFFICE printer. This printer chokes on any jobs that over 10 pages, the envelope printing it absolutely FAILS at it. We are constantly praying that it will work and do its job, this thing is cheap as cheap can be for a high cost. If I could compare it to a printer it would be those 75 dollar printers that are cheap and just do odd jobs, this is that. I have had to use and OLD printer to do certain jobs that this new printer literally chokes on. The best part of this incredible crappy printer is the button system....the buttons are crap! You have to use the app to do anything to the printer that is more "complex", keep in mind complex to this printer is printing more than 20 papers! I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRINTER TO ANYONE FOR OFFICE/WORK USE! THIS PRINTER IS FOR AT HOME, SCHOOL OR RECREATIONAL!

I have used HP printers for more years than i want to admit. I bought this one to replace my 9 year old Page wide pro. Now i loved that printer even though it was a huge monstrosity and weighed in at over 50 pounds. And it was probably the most expensive printer to feed i ever owned. But it was dependable. I bought this 7301 on a gamble. Never saw a small Tank printer. Had a plotter that used bottles years ago So i figured why not. Now when it arrived i was shocked. It was so light i thought they forgot to put the printer in the box. But it was there. And with it sitting where my behemoth was it looks like a dwarf. Set up was a challenge for me. I am not into this cell phone set up stuff. I don't even use WIFI on any of my printers. I use good old traditional Cat5. Set up that way was a little challenging i will say. But i got it after several different methods. It is a very quiet printer. My page wide would all of a sudden just go through some self test or something and make noises by itself. This little one is very quiet even when it prints. The set up physically was fun. So many different things to remove and find. Filling the tanks was a breeze and the print quality i have gotten is excellent. Not sure if it will last 9 years like the last one but at my age not sure i will either. I would say if you want a nice fully functional printer with Cat5 connectivity, but this little guy. Everything works well and i hope to have it for a long time. And the replacement ink is very reasonable.

Even though I just bought it and started to use it, it is an amazing printer. The test and pictures are crisp. Prints fast and I love that it does automatic double sided printing.

This is a great printer, copier, scanner for the price, but the initial setup is a real hassle and using wifi was way too frustrating for me. It disconnects from wifi automatically, reconnecting is the most complicated hassle ever. I finally discovered that an ethernet wire connection to my router solved all of that. Other than that, I love it.
