An improvement on my previous…

First impressions of the HP Officejet 8012e were very positive. It came very well protected and included starter inks to get you going.
I unpacked and removed all the protective tape and cardboard, then installed the cartridges. They were shrink wrapped in plastic and had a tear strip so you can easily open them. The outlet is protected by a twist off cap which is quite tough to remove. One thing I noticed there was no indication as to whether the orange cap is recyclable, so I assumed it was not, which is disappointing.
After this was completed, I put some paper (not supplied) in the tray and plugged it in to get started. As I already own a HP Envy printer, I had the app on my phone so it was just a case of adding the new printer.
My phone is on the android operating system, but I had problems getting the app to add the printer. Despite being correctly configured I could not get it to work. Luckily I have the app on my iPad and this connected the printer seamlessly.
A firmware update was available so this downloaded and installed, then the printer was ready to start with the cartridge alignment. This is straightforward, it prints out an alignment page which you then put onto the scanner and the printer configures the rest. This makes it easy for anyone at any IT level to setup.
Been using the printer for a couple of weeks now, some things I have printed are party invites, sewing patterns, room plans and the usual mundane life documents.
Very happy with the quality but have encountered a small blip; sometimes the printer "hangs on" to a document until you print another. No idea why but it doesn't always do it.
