HP Smart -Tank Plus 651 Wireless All-in-One Ink -Tank Printer, up to 2 Years of Ink in Bottles, Auto Document Feeder, Mobile Print, Scan, Copy, Works with Alexa (7XV38A)

We love this printer. My husband uses it for our small business and it does a great job. Whoever said that this printer is difficult to set up was a college student. That explains everything. My husband is 78 years old and he said that it was simple to set up. The copies are very clear and it prints fast. It doesn't print double-sided copies but who cares? It's not a feature we ever use. We are very please with this copier! We highly recommend it.

One of the print heads would not pick up. Not sure which one. Contacted HP, they agreed it was one of the heads. Send them back and they would replace or repair the defective one. Went ahead and ordered a set of better quality print heads and instead of waiting a month, they will be here in a couple days. I pray that is the problem other than that, it seems to be a decent printer. For the money it could have had auto scanning for printing both sides, front and back printing. The 7602 has it but for 309.99 plus tax. Will add to my review when the heads come in. I also wish the paper feed was in a tray in the front of the printer. The 7602 has that too.

I don't print photos. The text looks great. The build quality is fine...everything goes together well, and it feels solid on my printer stand. The black and white LCD display is bright and the options are easy to get to. Scanner scans up to 1200 ppi and the scans look great. The document feeder works smoothly and does the job. I don't care that there isn't duplex scanning (two sided).The assembly setup was pretty easy after watching a couple of YouTube videos, but the print head positioning is made clunky because it was difficult to get my hand in there and angle it around. The network setup was OK using the HP Smart app. But it didn't want to find the driver at first. The print head install and the driver crankiness is why I have given this 4 stars.What I like most aside from getting a very functional home printer for just over $200.00 is the bottled ink refills. Compared to cartridges, they are huge.

Trying to keep this simple but this is just not a good printer.The good: not much.The plastic used and construction are cheap. Feels flimsy.Trying to install the print heads is simply a pain. You have to use a flashlight to try to see where to install both cartridges, then you have to somehow hold these cartridges while making your hand flatter then a sheet of paper to fit them into a space designed not to allow your hand to fit into while praying you don’t break the flimsy plastic.The print quality was really good…for a few prints until a paper jam screwed up the whole printer. It took two sheets of standard paper instead of one and all of a sudden an error message, on the very tiny screen, keeps saying to reinstall the specified print head cartridge, but it doesn’t say or specify which one. So, reinstalled both and it refuses to print. Now it says the print head cartridges need replacing- after less than 20 prints.HP engineered this thing to be very hard to install and set up, very hard to install the print heads cartridges, very unusable, and their software requirements are the most invasive I have ever seen. You seem to have more privacy rights with malware than with the HP software. It runs only on a wireless setting, so no printer cable connection allowed. Setting up the wifi is very tricky and can only be set up on a 2.4 ghz wifi system. So, if you don’t know if your system has a 2.4 or is a 5 ghz system, might want to check that out before buying this. Many routers have both, but you need to know how to set those up, which brings the ease of use into question. This isn’t made for someone who doesn’t have the knowledge base to troubleshoot whether or not their router supports a 2.4 ghz or 5 GHz, or has dual bands in which to connect to, just something to think about. If you are asking yourself what a 2.4 or 5 GHz router is, ask yourself why should you have to bother with router settings in order to print a picture of your dog. Next, if you decide to buy this, be sure to set the WiFi up correctly from the get-go. When I set this up it identified my router in the settings, so I connected it. Unfortunately it defaulted to 5ghz and therefore would not connect to my computer. After having to troubleshoot, I found the HP site of no use, so off to Google I went. Came across a site saying it has to be a 2.4 connection so I tried setting it up on my 2.4 but it still wouldn’t connect. Long story short- took 30 minutes to reset the entire printer, remove the printer from the computer, reinstall the printer, and finally got it to work. So complicated.It does have some good features though, but not many. The fact that it has the ink bottles is good, and they are not difficult to fill so that part HP did right. One other thing that is perhaps the most fantastic part of the printer is…This is the only printer I have seen with handles on the plastic wrapping it comes shipped in so getting it out of the box is very easy. However, keep in mind you will need to keep this plastic wrapping and box….because you will probably have to send it back like I am doing.

Set up easy. Prints quickly and fairly quiet. Good print quality. Easy to fill tanks,
