Fabulous Home Printer

Really excited to test this printer as a replacement for my HP 2600 series which is very basic. Very pleased to find when I took it out of the box that it fits on my printer table so I didn't have to re-arrange my study! Very easy to set up wirelessly and all my computers - main desktop downstairs, two laptops upstairs and my phone have been able to connect to this printer with ease. However, my main PC now keeps telling me the printer is offline which is not true as I can print straight from my phone so I know it is online, so something for me to 'fix' when I have a minute. So, the good points:
1. Automatic double sided printing
2. Document feeder - brilliant as it is so useful.
3. Crystal clear printing - both colour and greyscale.
4. Borderless printing - useful for all those photos.
5. Scans to pdf with ease
6. Copies - colour or greyscale
7. Easy to load A4/A5 paper in front tray
8. Easy to fit/replace ink cartridges
9. Pretty noise when it is telling me it has finished a job!
10. Print from anywhere (pretty well) functionality
Not so good points:
1. The printer status light is always on - various colours telling me all is ok, or there is a problem, but if one is using the HP instant ink service (which is good) then the printer should remain turned on all the time. Therefore the status light is on all the time and it is quite bright *see just above the paper tray in pictures). This is not energy efficient, nor very 'green' in light of global warming! It is my only irritation with this printer and think the light should go off after say 5 mins of being idle. Maybe there is a way to set it to turn off, but I need to speak to support about that as there is nothing in the quick start instructions.
All in all, I am very pleased with this printer and would highly recommend it if you do a fair amount of printing at home as I do (I'm a vicar so always printing service sheets!). Another winner from HP!
