HP OfficeJet Pro 8035e Wireless Color All-in-One Printer (Basalt) with up to 12 months Instant Ink with HP+ (1L0H6A)

With printers in the past, I have lost my mind trying to connect a device to the printer (cannon 🙄) can’t find printer, error, error, can’t connect to wifi etc. This printer is the easiest, user friendly printer I have ever used in my life. It just connects to my phone and I can print ANYTHING with a click of a button. Scanner is awesome. This even has fax on it which has came in handy once already! Best printer ever. Love love love.

This printer is awesome! I have one at work and it works seamlessly with my MacBook Pro. I purchased this one for home and installed it easily on my iPad and Windows 10 computer. When I went to add it to my iMac, I couldn’t get it to install. The HP App won’t install from the App Store because it says that OS 10.14 is required. I went to System Preferences and used the IP address to add the printer and it showed that it was connected but when I tried to print, some strange text printed on one page and then multiple blank pages came out of the printer. I went online to search for solutions and came across the HP Support page and a chat popped up asking what printer I was using. The tech, “Smith”, asked what my issue was and then asked if he/she could have access to my computer. I downloaded the app so that the tech could access my computer. “Smith” opened a Text Edit program on my computer for us to communicate. (As I am writing this, I wonder why “Smith” didn’t continue using the chat on the HP site…unless “Smith” had an ulterior motive - to charge me for tech support.) “Smith” looked at the Support site for HP and verified which printer I was trying to install. Then “Smith” determined that he/she didn’t know how to solve this issue and if I could hold for 2-3 minutes while he/she consulted with the Tech Supervisor. “Smith” then came back and asked to access other parts of my computer. After spending 30 minutes on the chat with “Smith,” and allowing him/her to look at the command section of my computer, he/she determined that I had some issues with my network and if I had 20-30 minutes a tech could fix these issues for a one-time-service charge. I said absolutely not and that I would return the printer and get a new one. “Smith” then wanted to explain that I would continue to have issues even if I got a new printer or a new computer. I still declined so “Smith” closed the TextEdit before I could make a copy of it and logged off the computer. To make sure that “Smith” had no further access, I deleted the program that allowed access, disconnected from the my wi-fi and shut down my computer. I restarted my computer and searched for another way to install the printer and came across a suggestion from Apple about adding the printer. I removed the printer using System Preferences and reinstalled it. Guess what…it worked. I don’t know if HP knows about this scam that some of their techs seem to be using. It appears that the tech is working from home and is using this chat as a way to make some extra money. Don’t get suckered in to this scam! I am glad that I have some tech knowledge to solve the issue myself. If not, I would have contacted Apple support to help. Thanks to Apple for their great support sites!I am a teacher and I signed up for the HP instant ink at work and love the fact that the ink comes directly to me before I run out. I had 6 months free with a $30 credit. It has been a year since I installed the printer and just last week I received a message that I need to add credit to my account for the future. At this point, I am going to try purchasing HP cartridges instead because our school district will not let us put a credit card on file to charge without prior approval. I can’t wait to see how long this printer’s Instant Ink program will last me - the HP OfficeJet Pro 8030e account says that I have 6 months and a $36 credit.I have an issue with scanning to a computer from the printer using the touch screen. It will only scan to a USB or using the HP app. I am going to keep working with this aspect of it to see if I can scan to my computer without the app.Overall a great All-in-One.

Bought the printer a few days ago. Please read on, you will be glad you did, hopefully.Went from an HP OfficeJet 5740 all-in-one that was five years old, and this 8035e all-in-one bests that one by a decent margin in every category. Had to laugh at a couple of comments here, as one guy complained about how much the cartridges cost as he obviously turned down the one year's free ink from HP's Instant Ink included with the 8035e and bought his ink at retail. (I was also skeptical of his post since the 8035e comes with a full set of cartridges--which he didn't mention.) With our 5740 we'd been on the Instant Ink program for 3-4 years now--the 100 pages for $4.99 a month with up to 300 roll-over pages you accumulate when you use less than your 100-pages per month allotment (only $60 a year.)Just plug the printer into your home computer network switcher that also connects to the Internet--I don't bother with wireless as I much prefer wired as it is both more reliable and secure as it is immune to interference and much faster, too (when you plug into the printer's Ethernet jack the printer's wireless mode is automatically turned off)--and the Instant Ink program at HP reads your printer and measures your ink supply and actually sends out your replacement cartridges *before you run out of ink*. HP says the Instant Ink program saves ~50% over the cost of retail cartridges and I can easily believe it as I bought retail Ink cartridges for a year before I wised up and moved to HP Instant Ink for the next 3-4 years. Great thing is if you don't want to keep the program HP will cancel it for you at any time without penalty--which is what happened when I pulled the 5740 off of Instant Ink and put the 8035e on in its place.I've used Inkjets since 1986--lots of different brands--and nothing I've ever seen beats this Instant Ink deal! Nothing even comes close--used to spend a lot more money on ink than I do now. If you take advantage of the program you can save enough to pay for your printer over time, easily. With the 8035e it's really a no-brainer, because HP gives you 12 full months free! So if you don't believe me, you really need to try the program. It's really liberating not to have to worry about buying print cartridges at retail somewhere! Additionally, with the 5740 HP sent only their XL (extra-large) cartridges! I don't know about the 8035e, as to whether that one will also use XL cartridges, but I'm using the cartridges that came with the printer and Instant Ink has already sent me my first replacements--which I will use when these run dry. Should be getting them any day now.One last thing about Instant Ink--the page count--doesn't matter to HP whether you print 100 full-color pages per month (or more with roll-over) or 100 pages of text! Or any mixture thereof. And color printing full pages uses up a ton of ink very quickly! That's why I love the Instant Ink program.I also simply didn't understand the lady who said the 8035e was "too expensive." I'm sorry, ma'am, but $199 for an all-in-one that prints, scans, copies and faxes, comes with a year's supply of free ink, too, and a 2-year factory warranty, is simply not "too expensive" in my book. The poor woman sounded like she would have been better off with a $40 color printer, unfortunately. And she said it was too complex to operate? Doesn't get any easier than with HP Smart, which is the only printer control software I use and it is so simple to operate, in my opinion. So I can't agree with that assessment anyway. Last, she said it was "huge," I believe. Interestingly enough the printer fits in exactly the same shelf space as my old Officejet 5740 fit into.Anyway--that's my assessment of this printer for what it's worth. (And no, this is not a paid review and I do not work for HP--I'm a retired computer gal, actually.) I hope this information helps.

I honestly buy everything on Amazon, I just find it convenient and I work too damn much for me to run around buying stuff. This printer was simple. It just worked, setup with my laptop and other work devices was beyond simplistic, it didn't require any extra know-how. It doesn't print that quickly in color and when you're spending this kind of money...you'd probably want it to be a splash more zippier but honestly, the fact that I was able to set up scanning and my desktop computer without doing anything (I literally said scan to my laptop FROM the printer and it was done in a moment no wires or anything special for scanning) was redemption enough.If you have money to splurge a little and you're like me and don't want to waste time comparing specs and prices...this one will do what you want and need...and it'll be effortless

I was hoping that this HP model would be less finicky than my Epson Ecotank, which ALWAYS has issues with connecting via wifi to my laptop. I traded off being able to make lots of cheap copies (once it decides to print) with not great quality (the Epson) for, hopefully, better quality, more reliability, and the free ink for 6 months with HP. First, I set up the printer correctly and connected it via the wifi to my computer. All systems were go except that the printer did not print. I had to get an actual person in HP tech support (who was very helpful) to look into the problem, and he said the firmware needed to be updated. He did that, and voila. This whole process took about 3 hours. Then, I printed out 54 color copies and the printer was out of ink. It came with "set up" cartridges, which I assume have less ink in them than regular cartridges. Theoretically the instant ink program should kick right in and new ink cartridges should be delivered to my door. It took several days for the printer and the HP Smart app to communicate about the low ink and send off a message to cartridge headquarters in Sandston, VA , which sent the ink to the DHL facility in Raleigh-Durham, which will hand it off to USPS. Expected delivery is on June 24 to me in Oregon. I will have been 14 days without ink, so no printing. Good thing I'm not needing the printer for work right now, since I'm not teaching this summer. The moral is, I guess you get what you pay for. Or not.
