This is a great printer for home office use. I have actually printed less than the 700 pages with the toner that came with the unit by printing off game guides for a new game that I got for Christmas last month. But, I did manage to get my first shipment of toner via HP Instant Ink for it last week, and installed it just recently. While I wouldn't recommend this to someone printing photos, it does do very well with text and regular documents. Coloring book pages within the HP Smart app print out looking just like they do from a coloring book. And per my grandmother's take on those pages, they don't run or anything when she uses markers in them. The duplexer on it is fast too. I told my dad that it is as fast as some of the photocopiers that he had at work in the past, and that he should get one too if he should have a need for one.

I was prepared to NOT like this printer because I could not have imagined it would perform as well as others I have or have had in the past at this price. I thought it could not meet my needs. But it does! Would-be purchasers need to shop wisely and realize what this is, and is not. It IS a printer. It is NOT a copier, scanner or fax, though faxing through the app is possible so long as you have a phone number and virtual fax capability as I do. Is it the best? No, but it works for the occasional single or multi-page fax. This is a wireless black-and-white laser printer that includes six months of toner through subscription with HP. With a small footprint, up to 30 ppm 600 dpi output, dual-band Wi-Fi, built-in duplexer and up to 150-sheet input tray, the results are excellent. Subscription is required, and may be canceled at any time. If instructions are followed, all will be well, including downloading and using the HP Smart App. I followed the guide and easily joined the wireless network, added the printer to Mac and Windows 10 computers, to iPhones and Android phones. I was surprised, and pleased. If you are not one who follows packed-in instructions, things will not go as well. Why not follow the guide that HP provides? To test the printer and the free toner program, I printed virtually nonstop a manual that is about 200 pages. Over and over again. I did this in duplex mode and watched. This thing is fast and never missed a beat. I wanted to see how much it would print until the toner cartridge was at 20%, the threshold for automatically sending a fresh toner cartridge from the HP Plus program. At a shade over 700 pages, the trigger was tripped and I was notified that a new toner cartridge was on the way. I do not miss the lack of display because all settings are accessible through the app and through the web interface on Windows and PC computers. Scanning documents with a phone through the app is impressive as is the ability to print that output, and so much more. Please do pay attention to the many capabilities available from within the app. If you are not interested in mandatory use of the app and not willing to enter credit card information, DO NOT BUY. It is just that simple. Print from anywhere remotely is also enabled, so wherever in the world you are where there is Internet access, you can send documents to be printed by this printer. With its small footprint, excellent software and foolproof operation, I am impressed. If your needs rely on an ADF, scan and copy capabilities, look farther up the HP LaserJet line for printers in this same series that have these features for not a lot more money.
