Perfect for home office
I got the HP OfficeJet Pro 8135e. Starting from the physical look and size I found that it’s so sleek and convenient for my small home office, I did not take a lot of space and fitted perfectly on my desk. The instructions, installation, and setup were clear and seamless. The quality of the printing was clear and great. However, there’s only one drawback and that is I found it a bit slow when printing. Otherwise I really found it so helpful for everyday home office printing.

Installation could have been easier.
So, it's a great printer, but installation was problematic. I have found that since technology has advanced and gotten smart, it's actually gotten dumber!
I already have another HP and another brand of printer in the same room I tried to set this one up in. Wouldn't connect to wifi. Moved it closer and to two other locations, but it still wouldn't connect.
Then, while troubleshooting and looking for online help, I found out I can do it manually. THAT was all it took. I followed the prompts on the touch screen and it set up fine. I was wondering how the “smart” set up was EVER going to work when it NEVER asked me for the Wifi password. The manual set up did, first thing, and then it was clear sailing after that.
Prior to set-up, I tried setting it up via my iPad. Said it wasn't compatible even though the HP website said iOS 11 or higher was needed (I have 15). Gave that up. Then tried to do it via my laptop, and got the errors I mentioned before. Once I had done the manual set up, I was even able to move it back to its first location and guess what? Wifi is fine there (as I knew it would be, but the printer didn't agree). Now I can print to my iPad with NO issues but still cannot print from my laptop.
Printer doesn't appear on my laptop's drop down menu, and when I select Smart Print, it sends the docs to my original HP printer with no instructions on how to select this new printer. I've given up. I will use this printer from my tablet and the other one from my laptop. I'm not gonna spend hours on the phone with HP trying to figure it out. Just wish these printers would work right out of the box as they did 10-20 years ago.
I like the touch screen. It's much easier to use than the one on my older model HP printer. Of course, inputting our Wifi password on a keyboard that was less than 1” big was a challenge. I'll be getting a lot of use out of this printer since it prints in color. I left my other HP printer in black and white mode only until I can afford to buy more color ink.
I'm happy with this one. Thank you very much HP!

A good all around printer
I have only had a chance to use this for a few days, but it's been great so far. I was worried about the wifi connectivity, and HP did a great job with it. Setup was very easy using the HP app on my phone to do it, and only took a few minutes. The print quality is excellent for documents and such, and photos are pretty good too (haven't tried using photo paper yet). The ability to print from my phone when I am away is a big plus for me as well as I often run across documents when I am not home that need to be printed. They are waiting for me when I get home. So far I haven't found any faults to this and it seems to be a great home office all in one!

Good all-round printer
I use HP officejet pro 8135e for my work from home office and home needs. Good all-round printer for normal use. Light weight and is not too big. Wireless printing, scanning, fax etc is great for seamless connections for multiple devices at the home. Was easy to setup and came with instructions. HP smart app is well designed app for using the printer. Its really good for small jobs of less than 10 pages, its reasonably quick for inkjet printers. Touch screen is very responsive.
It takes a few seconds to send and print over through wifi. It doesnt come with cable to directly connect with laptop/PC and really required as it prints over wifi. Takes around a minute to boot up which is common for inkjet. I have to use VPN for my official work and i cant see to be able to print when connected to wifi. I have to disconnect my vpn to print. I would recommend this printer for regular home needs.

All in one Printer
This printer was easy to set up. I like having a printer that also allows me to scan and make copies. It also has fax capability, which I don't currently use, but it's there if I ever do need it. The printing is crisp and clear. My old printer still works, but not perfectly so this came just in time. The HP 8135e is a great multi use printer.

Solid Printer
This printer has been great. I do a lot of shipping of products and require a printer that can handle a decent capacity and this one has been great. It is quick and doesn’t take long to receive the document from the computer. I also love that it has Bluetooth capabilities so you can print right from your phone. It can also scan, copy, and fax.

I really love my HP8135E printer. It's larger than I expected but again it copies, prints scans and can even Fax. It's really fast printing without interfering with the print copy quality. Setup was so easy even for non tech savvy person such as myself. The wireless printing is an awesome feature also. I would recommend the HP8135E to anybody looking to purchase a printer

Everything You Could Need
This HP OfficeJet Pro 8135e printer has all the bells and whistles without taking up a large amount of room. Its actually surprisingly small for such high tech printer. This reminds me of my huge printer at work and will be great for business school and times I need to work from home. I love the scan options and the decent amount of paper this holds. Printing is quick and the quality is great. This was easy to set up I just hope the ink isn't too expensive. Otherwise this is a great printer!

Good printer, Excellent Scanner
After get through the setup process, actually using the OfficeJet Pro 8135e has been a positive experience, it prints quickly and at the high quality you’d expect. But where this printer really shines is with the scanning function – I’ve been able to scan both documents and pictures with great results and maintain the high resolution of the originals. My only complaint is that, when using the document feeder, it only scans 1 size vs. double sided. Still a great device, and good addition to the office.

Quick and Easy Setup.
I haven't had a printer for years, due to the fact that setting them up has always been time consuming. This printer was incredibly quick to set up, and in no time I was printing out labels for Packages. It's amazing! I highly recommend this printer to anyone who wants a quick set up, and fast printing.
My cats also were curious about it which is a bonus :D

Little clunky starting but great printing
I can say first that I don’t have patience when setting up a new printer because it always seems to take so long and have bugs to solve. But, I am happy with the print quality and speed of this printer. Some things I learned that could help a new setup…
Fill the tray with paper, it didn’t like just half full.
The paper tray will have a gap the little part on top slides out to meet the edge.
Read the instructions carefully to know what to remove or do on each step.
Long edge double sides means it prints the same direction as the back and short edge is the opposite direction as the back.
Also, my printer did not want to stay connected with WiFi once it kinda went to sleep- not sure why but it was annoying.
Prints well and quickly! Enjoy!
Update: eventually the printer detected it wasn’t connected and asked a couple questions and restarted, it’s been connected since then with no issues so looks like it fixed itself! Nice.

Great all around d printer/scanner
This was an amazing printer for the home. My family prints a lot for both personal and work and found this printer to be easy to set up and prints very quickly and clearly. I highly recommend this printer for anyone who scans and prints things often and who loves very color saturated printings. This did a great also printing on cardstock and on labels. Had no problems with it feeding paper and no jams.

Perfect for Nursing School
HP always makes top notch printers. We've had a our previous one for years. This HP Office Jet Pro is an impressive upgrade. Printing lecture notes and diagrams is a breeze with this machine. The color is rich and this printer is fast! It was super easy to set up and it has been so helpful for school. I definitely recommend this to any college student.

Great All-in-One
This printer is amazing! The setup was SO easy! It has a little touch screen that takes you through all the steps and it took maybe 5 minutes. It has scanning, copying, printing, and faxing abilities. I don't have the fax part set up yet but everything else works great. It prints fast and clear. I was a little worried that this printer wouldn't fit where I had my old one but it did. It just looks alot bigger. I love the touch screen and the fact that it can show more information than a traditional printer where the buttons just light up. Overall, really great printer!!

My new printer
FIRST IMPRESSION:
* The printer looks nice. I especially like the control panel can turn to different angles.
* The setup using HP Smart app was pretty easy.
* However, I don't know if I received a "defective" product. But I noticed the power cord port is loose (see the enclosed video).
USAGE:
The printer was functioning well. However,
* I found I need to print to "HP Smart Printing" instead of the printer itself to print properly (e.g., printing on both sides of paper, etc.) on Windows 11 computer at first. So I did some research and found the 8130e printer on my computer used something called "Microsoft PWG Raster Class Driver". So I went to https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/hp-officejet-pro-8130e-all-in-one-series/2101388000 and downloaded the "HP Smart Universal Printing Driver for Windows". Then I switched the printer driver to "HP Smart Universal Printing" after installing the package from HP website. Now I can print everything properly by choosing the printer directly without going thru "HP Smart Printing".
* unlike my previous HP OfficeJet Pro printer, I could not find the option of scanning from the printer directly to a share location in my local network.
CONCLUSION
Overall this printer is pretty good. I think people would like it as long as they don't need to scan to a shared network location.

Best printer I have ever used
I am so happy with the HP OfficeJet Pro 8135e printer. I really enjoy that the unit is all-in-one and wireless. The compact size allows me to print, scan, and fax with just one machine. I found the set up extremely easy and user friendly. I highly recommend downloading the HP app. The app has lots of fun templates and I see myself using the app options often. As for printing speed, both color and black-and-white prints were delivered swiftly. Overall I would highly recommend this unit as five stars!!!

Disappointed in the printer
Set up for wireless printing was difficult between the Smart Printer and my internet. I was finally able to manually connect.
Print quality is acceptable and the color for pictures was very good.
The control is difficult to operate with a person with large fingers. Thank goodness that the panel tilts to allow easier reading for a lower cabinet installation. The screen needs to be larger to allow better readability and operation. It is barely acceptable but I will make it work
The output tray is not acceptable. The right hand release button has fallen out 4 times and is not easy to reinstall. I have elected to leave it out and that is working ok, but poor quality here.
After I changed paper size for photos, I changed the smart printer on my computer to the new 5x7 size. The printer notified me that I had a paper mismatch. I then adjusted the size on the control panel and tried to reprint. It again notified me that I had a paper mismatch. I pressed the print button on the control and it overcame the notification. This is not right!
Overall, I do not recommend this printer. I have had HP printers for 30 years and this is the poorest one of them all.

8139e should be recalled
HP makes some great products and we have had many of them.
However, the 8139e is not one of them.
The 8139e has been a problem from the beginning.
The touch screen very seldom works, and when it does work, the touch screen panel seems to have a mind of its own.
I have given up trying to make copies on the 8139e due to the problems with the touch screen, and I use another copier we have for copies.
Printing is good when the 8139e is willing to admit it is "connected". Otherwise, it is a problem to deal with a constant "offline" notice. Thankfully, the HP Smart printing system works pretty well.
I regret replacing an HP 8030 that we had with the 8139e.
Sorry HP - but the 8139e that I have needs to be recalled.

Can't really review the actual running printer, I didn't get to use it because it came broken.
Came broken and box torn. It seemed much cheaper in materials than my previous HP that I had had for many many years. Very disappointed, so decided to try a different kind. That has been disappointing too as it has been hard to figure out. So whether one that hadn't arrived broken so that I had to return it, would have been a successful replacement for my one of previous years I don't know. They were good about letting me return it and giving me my money back.

HP Support
While I love the printer, it was difficult to set up through HP Smart. I called HP for help. My first phone call to them was 2 1/2 hours. My second phone call to them was an hour and a half. It should not take that long to set up the scanned email feature. guitar

love our new printer
we bought this printer about a month ago for personal use ( and so far it has been great. The set up was super easy with the app. we already had the HP instant ink program with our previous printer ( which by the way is also wonderful) and switching it to the new computer was one click!! so far we've only used the printing aspect but will soon be trying the scanning option. the print quality has been good and the printer itself is quieter than our old one(also an HP). I would recommend this printer.

Good product Hard to set up with Mac
Product was easy to get started. I have a Mac computer and it was very hard if not impossible to set up the scan portion without help from support( for 45 minutes with support trying to get the scan portion set up). That is a major disadvantage.

Mediocre printing - Set up easy
The colors are not nearly as bright nor as crisp as I had hoped. As most of my printing is colored pictures, this was not the right printer for me and I will not be able to use it for anything but letter printing.

Prints both sides
I actually have an 8135e unit. It was sent to replace 8139e unit that was defective. And it's a refurbished unit. HP did not even send a new unit for warranty replacement. I do like the functions of the printer. It prints on both sides, which is pretty cool. It is very noisy and takes a while to print though. But I believe it is probably worth the price.
