5.0 out of 5 stars Stream-line looking printer
Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2024
When I use the scan feature, it is completely silent! It's not the fastest printer, but adequate for how much I print. I was dubious about the liquid ink, but it was easy and did not leak out. Set up was easy. This is a handsome looking printer. I bought a canon (all black), which is the color I wanted, but I got it home and the copy function did not work so I had to return it. Funny thing is that the copy function of the Canon in the store on the same model did not work either when I tested it. So HP it is! Also, I was fairly certain that I needed a top loader to print my 110-pound card stock, and it works great. I didn't want a top loader, but I had to get one, and now I realize how easy it is to grab a piece of paper out of it when I need one.

5.0 out of 5 stars good looking for a printer and not too big
Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2024
I'm older and I figured this out, I think. Getting it hooked up, and working was a pain. I love the looks of it, it's much smaller than my other printer. so, my office looks much cleaner. I did have a hard time printing and when I tried to register it with my phone, it wouldn't allow it. still haven't completed that. it does print really fast when I do get it to work. I'll figure it out, eventually. It just takes some of us baby boomers a bit longer. If i have an on going problem, I'm sure tech support will help me. can't wait to know this one, amnd how it works.

4.0 out of 5 stars It prints
Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2024
Needed a printer, bought this because it has ink tanks. Easy start up instructions. I filled the tanks, Installed the print heads but I ruined the color printhead, it is tricky to install, be gentle. The black one was easy. New color print head arrived, I Installed it, and the printer went on with the set up. It prints well enough. I don't like that it only supports 2.4 wifi, and that it has no cassette to load paper into, also, it only loads from the back, and has only manual double sidded printing, and finally, it is mostly geared for windows 10/11. Anyway, it prints well enough, and I can fill tanks individually, so that should be a plus.

3.0 out of 5 stars Setup struggles
Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2024
The printer setup guide was fair. The error indicators were inadequate. The installation of the print cartridge was very challenging because you could understand how it was supposed to be seated. Filling the ink tanks went fairly well but I'm not sure how the advertised 2 year ink supply will be judged. I have a 1/2 bottle of black ink remaining. The color ink bottles were emptied on the first fill. The printer doesn't have a choose color, black & white, or greyscale. The test print worked well and printed the color but subsequent prints did not print the color. I thought the option Black & White Only might have be checked checked, but it wasn't. That's when I noticed there was no option to choose color print. It eventually did start printing color but I'm not sure why. There was an error indicator flashing but the corrective measures weren't in the user guide, only what the error indicated. 20 minutes of playing with the cartridges and I finally was able to get them seated properly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Printer, MacOS, Eco-Refill,
Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2024
HP Smart Tank 5101:
Excellent printer. Great on MacBook.
Bought for economical refill cartridges with bottles of ink. Easy to fill.
Never going back to cartridge systems, in home office printers.

Notes on "Draft" quality printing:
"Draft" setting is very quick printing, just ~3 sec/page, (full page of text).
This setting is meant to print out an incredible number of sheets/minute.
However, take note of the "Specialty Paper"(thick) setting, as printing "Draft"(low) quality paper using the "Plain Paper"(cheap plain printer paper) setting leaves some ink areas unsettled and may smudge.
Increasing quality to "Good"(medium), or "Best"(highest quality), adds printing time, only a few sec/page, (full page of text), and will prevent any small smudge areas.
"Draft" is intended where minute smudges are negligible, and large quantity of print-outs are needed in compact office form factor.

Notes on Install:
Super easy. You will figure it out.

Notes on Paper:
Have run everything through it that I have (Cardstock, 75gsm, 200gsm, Linen, Cotton, #10 Envelopes, Avery Sheets, ).
Reliably prints on everything without problem.
Be diligent to set paper type to "Specialty Paper", if your paper is at all different from 75gsm (plain cheap paper).

Notes on Ink usage:
Refillable cartridges. Simple, easy to fill and load.
Prints by Wireless and USB( and USB-C to MacOS ) without weird software add-ons.
HP App is encouraged, but not needed, "HP Utility" will save print presets in MacOS without downloads.

Have printed more than 400 pages B&W, ( full page 12pt, low & med quality )
and ~50 Color (CMY) beefy, ( >30% color/page area ).

B&W down only ~5%,
CMY down only ~3%,

Confident( at this rate ) it will print another
10,000 B&W pages, with B&W ink shipped/included ( K=135mL, ) .
And another
2,000 CMY pages, with all ink shipped/included ( C=50mL, M=50mL, Y=50mL, ) .

Thank you HP, and
always remember to Have A Good Day !

5.0 out of 5 stars Prints beautifully on 120 lb coverstock!
Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2024
I have been hunting for a new printer after my trusty 9 year old printer failed me! I use my printers for invitations, pictures and crafts of all kinds. I needed a printer that would print on heavy cardstock. Got this printer today and loaded my 120 lb coverstock and it printed beautifully! It does print slowly but that does not bother me at all!

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, an ink jet printer design that actually saves $$$
Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2024
I've owned many ink jet printers thru the years and it was always an expensive process to buy ink cartridges. This tank storage method is 1. Easy to refill 2. Supply lasts a long time 3. Is MUCH less expensive per page than common printer ink cartridges.
The scanner system is easy to use. The copier function, both b&w and Color modes, work very well. All in all, this printer is worth every penny.
