This was fairly easy to install. You remove the packaging, plug it in, and install the cartridges. The USB cable is not included. It connected to my wifi easily. From there you go to 123.hp.com, enter the model number, and download and install the setup files. The HP Smart app is available to print from your mobile devices. I found setup to be a breeze, and quickly had multiple computers and devices setup to print.

From the touch screen you can connect your Google Drive or Dropbox accounts, so you can scan to those locations or easily print from them. I love that it can print two sided without having me flip the paper over!

When using this as a copier you can select from presets for document, ID card, and photo. You can also tap the settings icon to reduce/enlarge, set a binding margin, utilize 2-sided copying, etc. It really is a fully functional copier.

I do not have a landline so I have not been able to test the fax features.

And now a little bit about Instant Ink. I have been using Instant Ink for about four years. We are a homeschool family and print 300-500 pages per month during the school year, and Instant Ink has saved me a fortune. Prior to Instant Ink I was buying new cartridges every month, costing around $30 per month. I spend half that using Instant Ink. HP monitors my ink levels, and sends me new cartridges well before I need them. Using Instant Ink you pay for the pages you print, rather than the ink you use. 50 pages per month is $2.99, 100 pages is $$4.99, 300 pages is $9.99, and 700 pages is $19.99. Unused pages roll over to the next month (the number of rollover pages varies by plan), and you can upgrade your plan when needed, and downgrade (which takes effect the next month). Additional pages, if you go over are $1 for 10/15/20 pages, again depending on your plan. I use a lower plan in the summer and upgrade in the fall. I love that I always have ink when I need it, without going to the store, and I’m saving money too. Also, these cartridges hold more ink than the ones you can buy so they last longer. You are provided with a postage-paid return envelope for used cartridges.

The HP Smart app allows to to print, scan, set up tasks, monitor your ink levels, and scan to email all from your phone or tablet.

The printer prints fast, even from mobile devices, has yet to jam, and produces clean, crisp documents and photos.

I expect this one to last a long time!
