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

The printer is good value for money and is good for home use. The ink set up is easy and great for monitoring ink levels. The printer itself can be difficult to set up. Once you have removed Printer head guard you need to remember to push down the blue fitting and secure in place otherwise printer will not work.

I followed the directions for manual set-up and was delighted to find that everything went as directed. Installing the printer heads was a little fiddly but they went in after some gentle trial and error. After filling the ink reservoirs, I noticed the warning light flashing. I restarted the printer, hoping that things would sort themselves out, but the light kept flashing. It turned out that this was the printer warning of a print head problem. Print head installation was next on the list of directions, and once they were in place everything was fine. So far, all the pages I've printed have been of great quality and with no hiccups in the printing process. I was relieved to find that you could set up the printer without using the HP app or having to create an account. The printer also connects to computers with a traditional USB A to B lead, if you don't want to go down the wireless route. Using the printer with Linux proved to be straightforward and even a pleasant experience, which is not always the case. I'll be interested to see how things are going in a year or two, but so far I'm very happy with the purchase!

Good value. Relatively easy to set up. Excellent print quality. Very good wireless connectivity. With this ink capacity will last for ages making it very cheap to maintain. Compact in size. Easy to use. The only downside is speed of printing. It is slow but suits my needs as I only do one or two pages at a time.

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.

Item as described and works perfectly.

Excellent quality.

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 .

Not the best printer I have ever had. Keeps freezing and dropping off wifi. I like the fact it has the refillable ink though
