HP Smart Tank 5105 All in One Printer | Perfect for Home | Colour | Wireless | Print, Scan, Copy | Refillable, Includes up to 3 Years of Ink | Smart Buttons | Easy Setup | Reliable Wi-Fi

I have decided to write review as i have seen a lot of negative reviews mostly regarding the set up, noise etc. First of all the set up is easy with very simple instructions. You fill the ink tanks , its clean and easy - tip : push the ink bottle hard enough till loud popping noise. installing printer heads- again its easy enough just make sure the blue case where you are inserting them is exactly in the middle , as it does move, that way the printer heads click in easily. Regarding the noise : in my opinion this printer is not noisy, its average printing noise you would expect. The 3 year supply of ink - the ink bottles which come with the printer meant to last for 3 years printing , dont expect extra bottles. Connecting to wifi is easy through app. Little tip : if it goes wrong and you need to start again : on the printer , press the wifi button and clear button together for 5 seconds it resets the printer to setting up mode again . I would say this is a very good printer for domestic use and small office/ small business . It does great good job for the price paid .

I decided to purchase a printer with the ink bottle facility instead of cartridges so the ink would last longer. So fingers crossed with that. Set up was straight forward once you install the HP apps on your mobile device. Following the prompts on your phone was good, the only issue I had was the toner cartridges were a tad fiddly. Filling the ink from the bottles was easy. Once ready the test page printed off perfectly, then did some printing I required again no problem. When putting your wifi code in this is done via your mobile. I don't have a Windows PC, I have a chromebook & the chromebook found the printer straightaway & again printed perfectly.Got to admit with first impressions of the printer I am really happy, so I hope the ink levels are as good HP states.

I've used HP printers all my life and my last one (an HP Envy) worked perfectly for about 7 years. When it came time to replace for a newer model I selected this as I liked the economy of the smart tank ink. Adding the ink is clean and simple but that is where any positive comments end. This printer is useless - it continually drops off the network and just refuses to respond to anything sent to it (the web interface also does not respond) until powered down/up again. Printing is sketchy - sometimes it would just print the top of the first page and then stop - other times it just spuriously zips a piece of paper through it with some blobs of ink on it - other times it would weirdly go crazily slow - so each page was taking about 2-3 minutes to print. It's like the software goes haywire on it!Every print job is preceded by a cacophony of motor noises and wheels which sometimes bursts into print action, other times just stops and the power light starts flashing and no more. When it initially was installed, it would make an annoying low frequency beeping noise for no reason - driving me mad. A firmware update did stop this but sadly didn't make the printer any more reliable.Once it gets stuck with the power light flashing, nothing works and it's hard reboot time again! It rarely prints from Apple devices, and from Windows it is a bit better but sometimes even locks up my PC! Native Apple AirPrint is terrible - the HP Smart App is more reliable but the content is repurposed by the app, losing content, changing around sizes of images and pagination, so you lose wysiwyg (what you see is what you get) - a feature of any decent printer since about 1995!I'd already raised these issues with HP Support who arranged a swap-over for a whole new printer - but the new one is just as bad. I've spent all day today trying to speak to HP Support (I just want a refund now) but 8 hours later they've just told me they have a 'system upgrade' going on so cannot help me today! Just awful - avoid!Update: other people have also mentioned this but the HP Support is disgustingly bad. You send a message and sometimes it is hours before you get a reply - but if they ask anything and you don't respond, they close the case! Also, if it is approaching end of their shift, they just say you will need to start a new conversation the next day! In the end I got so annoyed, I just contacted Amazon and said I needed to return the printer as not fit for purpose. Amazon to the rescue again... and NEVER will I buy HP again.

Great print quality but wireless set up was slow and frustrating. Once wifi connected, all devices can access it with no problems.

Great printer. I was printing at higher volumes and find the refillable tank to be much better. Also love it prints full page. Quality is perfect.

This printer failed on the 1st day. After over a month of waiting for spares from HP, I was getting frustrated. The spares eventually arrived and it still did not work. I was told that you would refund me in full and I could do what I liked with the printer. I spoke to HP to see if it could be repaired and they said send it back to Amazon and we will honour rhe Amazon exchange. I sent it via EVRI to Amazon Returns, Dunfermline, Fife a couple of weeks ago. What is happening, please?

This is by far the best printer I've ever had, easy to install, easy to use , value for money 5☆

I was worried about connecting to wifi via my mobile but found the process very easy and got printing immediately.
