I have had the chance to review the Envy 6420e now for a few weeks. I was able to order and arrive in just a few short days. I wanted to test the Envy right away so I decided to load the printer through my phone. I do alot through my phone now days so Figured Id give it a try. The Printer arrived with the printer and a cable. Also included was a 1 page set up booklet in multiple languages, a declaration and security protection information. A booklet for instant ink was also included as you get 6 months of ink free included with the purchase. I clicked on the QR code and my phone started to download the apps and information that I needed and set up an HP Smart account. During the process I had some difficulty getting this attached to my phone, but it sorted itself quite fast. Having all the instructions online is handy but a starter pack with the printer with additional marketing would have been welcomed. Im pretty tech savvey, but there comes a time when you need to see all there is in document form as to what is included and how to set up. There was an additional piece of black foam included with no explanation and it took me several tries whilst playing with the printer to install correctly and achieve the result I was looking for. During set up I was also able to redeem my 6 months free ink and have already received a batch! This is in addition to the ink that came with the printer for immediate set up. The prices seem fair and actually cheaper than if you buy your ink from the shop and range from as low as 1.99 a month to small business range at 22.49. So I'm interested to see how that progresses and price wise feel its going to be cheaper and easier in the long run. This also includes recycling of your cartridges. So the phone was easy and was able to get set up with a few linking issues, but very straight forward.
I next had to set up the printer with my laptop. I have a refurbed HP laptop and I currently have another 3 - in - one printer that's about 10 years old. During my phone login I was able to email myself the download instructions so that I could load to other devices. I opened the email and got started. This however, was not as easy as I would hope. The printer would not talk to the program but I could find it another way. I tried to add the device to my existing app but needed a pin. A bit of searching and I found this and the printer linked up and was able to print. I now started on other features. I was able to scan and email my scan.
