One stop solution to your home printing needs!I researched a lot and then narrow down to this printer. It works smoothly and it is so easy to get the work done through HP Smart App - no need to plug wire in the Laptop. Moreover now we can easily print from our phones. My last HP Deskjet worked for 12yrs seamless and now i am expecting the same from this product :)

Ideal for a small home officeThe printer is working fine as of now. Initially it warrants cleaning of the printer head and the cartridges. These functions are available in the printer itself. After this process the print quality is fine

Great features in this budget, especially ADF, WiFiHave already used HP Products in the past and always happy. This time, while the printer comes with great useful features in this budget, 2 major concerns :
1. Wifi Issue : Printer sometimes doesn't get discovered in my Laptop in WiFi. I have to again restart the Printer and then it appears back. This is really frustrating as most of the times it just works fine and turning on the printer, it automatically appears in the Printer, but seldom it creates issues and says - Unable to find Printer.
2. Ink Consumption : While many have already reviewed around the same, despite using the printer in 'Black - Draft mode' most of the times, I did not get even 150 pages output and the ink is almost finished. Everywhere, it mentions up to 480 Black - Draft pages. Would request HP to pls work on that. I feel bad such draining Ink levels despite not so heavy usage.
Paper type and GSM? I am getting poor print quality on normal 70 GSM paper
