HPSmart -Tank 7001 Wireless All-in-One Cartridge-free Ink -Tank Printer, up to 2 years of ink included, mobile print, scan, copy (28B49A)

Overall - I am happy with this printer. It packs a lot of power in such a small box. Great stuff - Continues: 1- No ink cartridges, but tanks instead of the colors. I currently have another printer and this is an upgrade when it comes to color utilization and value for money. 2- Filling up the cartridges was a breeze, there was no spillage, and loved the sound it made while filling up. 3- It comes with everything included, like the manual, but I preferred downloading the app and following the prompts on my phone. It even let me send links to my other devices to get the app installed. This was super helpful. 4- The whole set-up process is very well thought out and designed for the best user onboarding experience. The best thing was about the flawless sync between the app and the printer. It guided me through the whole process and kept giving me prompts and the printer was able to successfully sense the completed step and communicated with the app to inform me. 5- I read about issues regarding wi-fi connectivity, which is critical to me and was a make-or-break deal. I was surprised at how quickly it connected with my wifi and the connection through the app was seamless. The improvement areas: 1- For a $400 printer, this is very basic and bare-bones. I can get a competitor product with more bells and whistles. 2- The LCD screen is such a turndown. They could've done better by adding a color LCD with the ability to do many tasks. In summary, it is still a very nice printer and can print a lot of pages for you, but if you are looking for a high-tech product with a UI, this is not for you. I will be using this for my car dealership and there, I need speed and cost-effectiveness, and this printer hits a bullseye there.

Great printer! I ordered a new cabinet for my home office and my current printer was too big. It doesn’t have the automatic feed that my other one has so be aware of that if you use that option a lot. This was my first experience with filling ink holders. I appreciate that it was easy to do and there is a display on the front of the printer that lets me know how much ink I have left! I ordered extra ink and it was SO MUCH LESS EXPENSIVE than the cartridges I used with my other printer!!The prints are clean and sharp. I’m very happy with my purchase and it fits perfectly in my new cabinet

First let's begin with the cost of this device. I was a willing participant in this experiment. The device certainly is aesthetically pleasing to the eye. I will give HP credit there. However when you start looking at the value offered by this device you may want to start looking at different options. The price point for this printer, after taxes, exceeds $400. I was willing to pay amount that for a reliable and well designed, tank-based printer. Here are some of the things that caused me to return this for a refund:1) The scanner: The entire scanner led light source continuously blinks 24 hours a day, once per second. I thought this was a broken printer. The HP agent on the phone also thought it was a failed printer. It turns out someone at HP thought it was a BRILLIANT idea to have the scanner blink in perpetuity in order for it to detect when the platen was lifted so it could illuminate 3 to 4 buttons. The platen has a tiny, white 1/4 inch block, attached to it that the scanner uses to determine if the platen is up or down. In my mind it is one of the dumbest design decisions I have encountered. I may use the scanner once every 3 months. I would have to watch that silly scanner blink millions of times for absolutely no reason. From my seated position, I can see the scanner blinking even with the platen down through a gap in the front, especially with the room lights turned off. It's a waste of scanner LED longevity and energy. A properly designed device would use a hall effect switch, a physical switch or a dedicated sensor for this function. HP decided it was a great idea to save a few pennies on a dedicated sensor for one of their more expensive home based printers.2) The paper tray: I really wanted a paper tray with my printer. I did not want to deal with rear feeding "ski-slope" type paper sources. The tray is there but is clunky at best. There is no rear guide for the paper to rest against. It seems like paper can slide back & forth. There is clearly a line delineating the 8.5x11 position but there is no adjustable guide or block to ensure the paper cannot move. The tray does have proper side-guides though. I thought the tray was missing components. IT IS NOT. This is their design.3) The control panel: It is minimalistic at best. For me it was not a deal breaker. I can live without the big fancy color touch screens but in retrospect when I see a printer at the $150 price point range with full duplex ADF's and color screens it makes we wonder where my $400+ went. Let's face it folks. There is no "new" mind bending technology here. It is the same old ink-jet technology we have been using for years with large bottles for an ink source.4) The support: It takes a while to set the printer up on the network. It has no ethernet jack and it certainly has no control panel to enter WiFi credentials and such. You must jump through hoops connecting it via USB, creating a printer, connecting to the printer and setting up WiFi credentials, deleting the original printer and adding the newly discovered WiFi device. Once it is setup the rest is easy squeezy. However when I called HP about the blinking scanner issue the first thing they have you do is completely initialize the printer, losing all the work you have done setting up the printer the first time. I told the rep I just took the device out of the box and it was blinking all the time. After I initialized it and the problem persisted, the rep wanted me to send the unit to them so they could ship me a refurbished unit. I don't know about most but if my printer is less than a day old I don't want a refurbished unit taking its place. To make matters worse the HP agent did not really know the equipment. They just follow a talk track. At this price point I do not want this level of service. I had to do my own research and testing to find out why the scanner blinks. HP sending a refurbished unit would only leave me with the exact same problem and no way to return it for a refund. No one at HP.com would acknowledge or deny what was occurring with the scanner. The scanner did work as expected when commanded though. After the scan job was complete it would resume the "blinky" routine.So that this does not appear to be an attempted assassination of this printer, here are some of the things I did like:1) The tank system was easy to fill2) The print heads were replaceable...good for keeping the printer in top working condition over the years3) The simplistic look and color scheme of the printer. It looked very modern and blended well with my surroundings.4) The print quality seemed good for the short time I had it and it had good print speed.5) The driver and PC interface. I did not use the phone based installer because it required me to set up some cloud account which I was never going to use. I downloaded the actual PC-based enterprise installer and deployed it this way. The driver is well designed and the internal web interface of the printer makes a number of options available that would otherwise be impossible to display on the tiny black and white LCD screen.

The Printer works well. With the HP App, was fairly easy for an eighty year old guy like me to set up. Took about an hour to unpack and set up. Very satisfied so far.

Only had this printer for a short time, but here are my observations. It was very easy to set it up. I just pushed one button to connect and in no time it was connected and operational. Filling the ink reservoirs was just as easy. Printed the test page and it was aligned. Sent the link to my daughter and she connected just as easily. I can now cancel the HP ink program, which was better than buying the cartridges at retail outlets; but still kind of costly. Buying the bottled ink is going to be even better than the other 2 alternatives. I test printed a photo on HP photo paper - it was even better quality than my old HP 7200. Paper tray holds about 1/2 a ream of paper. Since my printer is hidden in a pull out compartment on my desk, I don't have to pull it out for re-stocking. The only downside I see is the speed of printing. No doubt it is a little slower than other printers, but the plusses far outweigh the only minus I've encountered. Edit - Just found a way to speed up the printing speed in the settings menu. It now prints as fast or faster than my old HP Envy printer.

Works perfectly

Simple as can be, a decent printer. Thank You

very nice printer
