Ordered from Amazon (ebuyer seller), despite being told delivery would be 5 days it arrived the next day, Excellent start.
Unboxing was simple and it was nice to see it used a standard c7 (fig8) power lead so no bulky AC Adapter.
Using Windows 10 there were no drivers to install, simply install the HP Smart app and WIndows 10 finds the printer and installs it. all the other Windows 10 PC's in the house also found and installed the printer with no issues.
Cartridges are all colour coded and were easily installed, although I will be using the printer with HP's Instant ink programme you still have to install the normal ink carts to complete the printer setup, this is a shame as it means that in just a few days when the new Instant ink cartridges arrive these will become redundant. Perhaps going forward HP could allow the printer setup to be completed without wasting these standard cartridges?
As I already subscribe to Instant Ink the HP Smart programme offered me the choice to either replace my current printer or add this one as an additional printer. As I will be handing down my old Inkjet to my daughter to take to Uni I chose to replace my existing printer, this took just a couple of minutes and then informed me my new Instant Ink cartridges were on the way. (They actually arrived in the post about 4 days later) not too bad.
As far as using the device so far I haven't need to use the Scan or copy function however printing from both PC, Mac and Mobile devices has so far been faultless. first page from standby can take 30 seconds or so as the printer whirrs and warms up into life but after this any subsequent pages print out rapidly.
All in all very happy with the printer and as always I thoroughly recommend HP's Instant Ink programme to any home printer user with low printing volume requirements.
£1.99 per month gives me 50 pages per month, these can be any type of paper, colour or B&W (even full page photos!) with up to 50 rollover pages available if unused from previous months. Great value and saves the hassle of buying expensive cartridges only for them to dry up if not used. As soon as your ink starts to get low HP ship out any cartridges you need for free, I've never yet ran out of Ink without having a spare cartridge ready and waiting to be installed.
