Title: GREAT for ledger sized paper!!
Review: I use this printer for our home printer and for working with my watercolor paintings. Jim addition to printing remail, invoices, instructions, menus and the like, I often print and SCAN prints that are ledger sized (that's 11"x17" sized paper). The scan bad for that sized printer makes this unit a monster! I have room in my office, so it's not a problem. But it's a presence!!The Good Points:I found the setup quite ready. It connected to my network like a champ. It connected to our Android phones, our iPad, and my Raspberry Pi (Debian based Linux .. via CUPS) systems without any problem.Print and Scan work wonderfully. Copy can do double sided to double sided output without any problem.The printer comes with two paper trays. Each can hold you ledger sized paper. I have the top main tray filled with letter sided paper and the bottom treat filled with ledger paper. The printer can automatically select the appropriate tray based on the document size you print. It can also automatically fit the document to the paper. So if you print a letter into the ledger sized paper the document is increased in size to fit there paper. That is a seeing that can be adjusted to fit your needs.It has quite extensive FAX capabilities. Though I looked at them, I do not use this as A FAX system, though it's good to know it's an option.It connected via Google to "the cloud". I can print to this printer, even when I'm not using my home WiFi. I often use this feature when I'm away from my home network.HP includes an e Print feature, where I can email a document to the printer. And if course, this and the cloud printing feature can be locked down so only I can use these features to my printer. But I can add authorized users. So I can allow my son in Europe to print into my printer. Cool!HP includes WiFi-Direct printing. That is, I can print directly from my phone without paying through the router. I don't use this feature. However, I looked at it and found it sounds, usable and can be secured.The print cartridges are reasonably priced. Not the best, but not bad. I use the XL version of the cartridges. They cost less per sheet. Also there are four ink cartridges. Thus, if I run out of Cyan, I only need to purchase Cyan.The system can isometrically order ink, if the ink is marked as low. I personally prefer to order on my own. But it's a good feature.The online web management menus are very helpful. The web interface includes management, maintenance, and reporting. It's quite extensive.The Downside:Extending a print tray to ledger sized paper takes some time and effort. It's not very obvious. But keep at it. It does work.The phone based scan only does single sided scanning. It can copy double to double. It should be able to scan to my phone double to double.Overall:It's a great printer. It's sounds intimidating. But once you set it, you can forget it. My wife never printed to the old printer. But she prints to this all the time. The difference? Once you set the options, you don't have to fiddle with options. It's an easy printer to use and live with. I highly recommend this printer if you need to print and scan ledger sized paper.

Title: Black Ink Streaking/Update
Review: I have two other HP printers and have not had this problem. I just received this printer today so it was brand new out of the box and I am experiencing issues with it. As you can see by the pictures, there is a lot of streaking and smearing of the black ink. I have printed the same document on my other printers and have not had this problem at all, so I am thinking there is some type of defect on this printer.Update 5/12/24-I am now rating this printer 5 stars. I ended up ordering a new printer because I had a feeling the first one I had was defective. I am experiencing zero issues with smearing and it is printing perfectly fine now! I am currently waiting for Amazon to pick up the first printer I ordered to receive a refund.The printer is rather large, but it looks very nice on my desk and I love that it has two trays and can print larger sizes to create my classroom posters and mini anchor charts.

Title: Worst printer I ever bought - Returned!
Review: There were pretty much nothing but unpleasant surprises with this printer. The installation was a nightmare. HP wants the user to install over the web. Fine, except it cannot find the installation software to download. I then used the included optical media to install the printer drivers and software. While I could ping the printer on the network, access the printer's internal web server and print a test page from there, it wouldn't print a test page from Windows 10 nor from Word. So, I uninstalled everything and found the installation software on HP's web site. It still would not print. After hours of wasted time and research, I found an obscure article that said the user needs to change the security settings on the Windows temp file. I did that and it printed. Finally.I've set up at least 50 printers in my career. No other printer I've ever seen, including the other three HP printers I own have this problem.Then, setting up the fax, it told me that I have the wrong telephone cable. What? It is a standard phone cable, with an RJ-11 jack on each end. It turns out that I can actually fax just fine - the software is messed up.Loading 11 x 17 paper requires the user to expand the paper tray and when inserted, it sticks out a full three inches - HP doesn't show that in any of its product literature, of course, because it looks terrible and lets dust into the tray.The LED touch screen is tiny, under 3 inches diagonally and difficult to use because everything is so small. There is plenty of room for a decent sized screen. The 8620 printer has a much larger screen and is very usable.The lid for the scanner is so thin and flimsy that I think it is broken every time I lift it. The product basically works, but is just horrible to use. I really hate it and am not sure whether I will keep it or not.Updated review. I tried to use the printer's scheduling firmware to turn it off at night on schedule, or after X hours of non-usage. The printer put out an error message that a telephone cord is attached to the printer and it would not accept faxes if it is powered off. Duh. It wouldn't print or copy either it if it powered off. I tried to contact HP support. They only offered Chat or Tweet. After the usual five minute delays between each question and having to repeat everything I wrote, because the bot or person simply puts "I understand that you ..., is that correct?" 30 minutes went by with nothing to show for it. I said that I need to speak with a person. The agent gave me a phone number which told me to go back to the web site. Eventually, after many attempts, I finally got through to a support person who said that there is no way to make the printer power down using the built-in features, if there is a phone line attached. That did it. I returned the printer to Amazon.HP's support, as bad as it was, since the spin-off, is now even worse, and their products, as bad as they were, are now abysmally poor quality. I feel lucky to have such a bad experience right away, so that I could get my money back. The two "premium" laptops I bought from HP both had hinges break right after the warranty expired. I doubt that I will ever buy anything from HP again.

Review: La impresora como tal es hace su servicio, no es de mucha calidad la impresión pero puede servir para el precio que tiene. Es la segunda que tengo y las dos con el mismo problema de cabezal. Se la han llevado a reparar (tiene 4 meses la impresora) y llevan casi dos meses con ella.Este vendedor AGEM-CZ tiene una posventa como si no existiera. Son checos con lo que eso conlleva en cuanto a tiempos de envíos, mensajes traducidos no se si por google o algo peor, nada empáticos con los clientes, un desastre. Una estrella y de milagro.

Review: Imprimante reçue avec 2 jours de retard. Après discussion avec le vendeur, il s'avère que les grèves en cours (7 mars 2023) ont beaucoup impactées les livraisons.L'imprimante s'installe en à peine 15 minutes et de manière vraiment très simple. Il y a 2 bacs pour les feuilles, très pratique pour stocker du A4 et du A3 sans avoir à enlever et remettre des feuilles sans arrêt.Mon seul petit point négatif est l'écran tactile qui est un peu petit. Obligation d'utiliser nos doigts car un stylet ne fonctionne pas, mais bon vraiment rien de grave.Je recommande vraiment cette imprimante, et ce vendeur, alpha print, très à l'écoute, très réactif et très efficace.

Review: Been looking at A3 printers for ages to mainly print maps for walking/cycling, trips away and general home office work. I looked at and compared many different makes and models, but this one seemed to keep coming up the best value and with good reviews.Out of the box, it's obviously big and lumpy, but I expected it to be, so not a massive problem and I wanted separate drawers for A3 or A4 paper to save faffing around, but makes it bigger. Setting it up was an absolute breeze and very painless. From switching it on, loading ink, a quick run through settings, setting up Air Print and printing the first document was literally less than 10 minutes! The speed of printing; even double sided is fast and the quality of printing on paper or photo is brilliant, and a proper play with the settings gives you easy options for sizing, layout etc.A big concern was printing costs, as the slow nasty Epsom thing I had before cost a small fortune in ink over the years, which is I know, how they make money on cheap printers.In the first few months I went berserk with this, printing off dozens of OS maps, documents, photos etc, and the ink colours are only now showing low. But I have just got replacements for less than £80 which should last me a long time now.All in all, very impressed and would highly recommend.
