Ratings and Reviews
Good little printer but some issues
I've had this printer for a few years so it's a good choice for desktop purposes. However, it prints fairly slow and get paper jams a lot. It also went through a phase where it just clicked and made adjustment noises but never fully went on and I had to unplug and replug over and over again and do the alignment and adjustment every single time I turned it back on. I just want to be able to hit the button to turn it off without having to adjust it every time. Also, for some reason the images always print askew. I have to open the tray and really push the paper all the way back and squeeze the sides every time before I print if I don't want it to be crooked. Lastly, The HP printing app is ok, but I can't change the order of the tiles so that means that the help tile is before the print tile and the fax tile (which I might use like once a year) is in front of printing and scanning which are used most often. I can turn them off and on, but I can't move them around. So that's frustrating.
Oof!
I've never had so many problems with a printer. Having to pay a subscription every month is bad enough but it seems like half the time I go to print something the printer is "offline," "can't be found," or has some sort of error message. Not only that, everytime it happens, it takes forever to sort out. If I go to make a missed payment, the app just keeps glitching or I can't sign in at all (I'm not sure I've been able to make a payment through the app since the first few months I bought this nightmare) and I have through the exact same steps I did on the app just to make the same payment. Then it doesn't let me print right away, it's not a "submit payment" button and done. No, you have to wait until their system attempts to bill you for the subscription again, which seems to be on some sort of archaic automatic cycle you can't speed up or circumvent. You just have to wait until they have billed you again and received payment before you can print anything, which I've had take a day or two. Even after all of that, I often have to unplug the printer and plug it back in to reset its connectability before I can start printing again. Insert colorful expletives here.
Glitchy and no help when customers need it
My printer would flash an error after every print job and have to be totally restarted every time. Spent over 8 months trying to fix it and trying to get in contact with someone to help and every response I got just kept saying udate the software and the app. But when i did that, the app would tell me i needed to registermy account and printer for "auto re-fill" in order to use the printer. That requirement was never mentioned when i bought the printer and it did not require this for the first year of use. I did give in an registered y account and printer for that service. BUT the app would not recognize that I had done it and kept giving me the same issues and same response as before. I would try to cancel the account and re-sign up, but it would tell me i had one already and that i was good to print. Spent another three months trying to get answers from customer service and got no help at all except for someone telling me it was a glitch of some kind something, but offering now , so I ended up having to get rid of the perfectly good (and expensive) printer because of some new requirement with this app and HP and cutomer service was useless.
