The Best
My mom got this printer. This allowed me to continue my education through documents so much easier. The printer was quick and clean. Never have we had a problem with it and it still works as it’s brand new which is hard to find. The printer allows me to be able to get the details that I need on the paper. The printer made it easy and efficient to print out what I was needing. It’s a great printer and I would 100% recommend it to someone else.

This printer has been very good.
I needed just a small printer, copier & scanner. This seems to be very good for me. I wanted a smaller size than I had. It fits my printer stand perfectly and am able to reach it comfortably. I have only had it for a short while, but it has printed perfectly so far.

Efficient for home office
I am very happy with my new printer, what I like the most is that I can print out any picture or document from my phone and I have never had any connectivity issues, in less than a minute my documents are printed. I also liked that the ink tanks are very easy to refill. Overall this printer is awesome to print or scan documents or pictures from any device at home.

Newer Isn't Better
The manual offers little in the way of how to operate the thing. The best thing I can say about this printer is that the quality of the print is excellent. Outside of that it is bulkier and extremely user un-friendly and I still can't figure out how to find out how much ink is left in the bottles. My ENVY 5530 was so much easier to use and I loved it. So naturally, they discontinued it. :(

User friendly no matter age or knowledge
I am so blown away with how user friendly this printer is to use. I am not techy by any means and I was able to unbox ,set up and use this printer in minutes. First off, this printer comes well protected in the box so shipping is not an issue. Once you pull the printer out, all you have to do is fill the ink and put paper in, then download the app to your device/devices and you are ready to go. I have the app on multiple phones, tablets and computers. That way anyone in my family can print whenever they are inspired by a recipe etc. I have even printed from my phone while out of town. The ink is easy to fill and no mess, not even a little on my fingers. No streaks or smudging, no transfer of ink to other pages. The scanner works like a breeze as well. Just lift the top, set the documents on, place the lid down and scan. No shadows, burry or artifacts. I think any home or business would be enhanced by this printer. I am now brand loyal after using this printer. No matter your age or knowledge of tech can easily set up and use this.

Happy with my purchase
The HP Smart Tank 5103 printer can do it all. It makes great copies, scans, makes laser quality prints wirelessly via wifi or USB, and is simple to set up. Not only that, but due to the high capacity ink tanks, the cost per page is low. Very happy with the color prints especially the borderless photo printing option using glossy photo paper! I'm very happy with my new HP printer.

Good for home office
This printer is good for my home office. It was quick and easy to set up. I like that it has the wireless option to print. The printing is clear and a good quality. I would recommend this printer also because of the fact that there is less printer cartridges/ink that you will have to buy and throw away, which is good for my wallet and the environment.

Great Printer!
I love this printer! It's so fast, quiet, and easy to use. I also love how efficient it is and that I can store so much ink in it. No more running out after just a few pages. All of my documents come out sharp. It also holds plenty of paper so no need to constantly load it. It was very easy to unbox and get set up. Connecting it was a breeze. I highly recommend it!

Kid Friendly/Easy to Use
Very easy to set up. So many ways to use it. I used it for some crafting and scrapbook stuff. Prints quickly. No bleeding, botches, lines, or anything. Vibrant, colors or black and white. Easy to use. Kid friendly.

Easy to use
I have a love-hate relationship with printers. I love having the ability to print good quality documents and photos at home but I've had issues with most of the printers I have owned over the years. The ink cartridges drying up between uses, running out of ink during important print jobs, mediocre print quality and ink that costs more to replace than buying a new printer are some complaints my family has endured.
The HP Smart Tank 5103 is poised to change all of that. The first thing I noticed when opening up the box was the ink comes in bottles, along with two cartridges that look very much like the printer ink I have grown accustomed to over the years. Instead of being vessels for the ink, however, these are print head cartridges. Since the ink isn't stored in them, apparently, they will not dry out or encrust on the nozzles the way other printer ink cartridges you have encountered might. There are two print head cartridges, one black and one Cyan-Magenta-Yellow. Accordingly, there are four bottles of ink for each of them and you use them to fill airtight ink containers that you can actually see the levels on right on the front of the printer. The way you fill the inkwells is very satisfying and feels very secure and vacuum-y: you up-end each ink bottle and attach it to the matching inkwell. There is no fuss or muss involved.
Once the inkwells were filled, I attached the power cord and turned the printer on. Set-up was quick and easy, especially since I already had the HP Smart app on my phone. I just added the new printer to the app, connected to my home WiFi and got started! The app registered the printer for me, since I already had an HP account. Then the printer automatically printed out a calibration sheet that I popped on the scanning bed to register. Easy peasy.
I printed from my laptop and phone, through the HP Smart app and directly from my photo library. My WiFi has been a little testy, so I had to restart it once or twice and turn the printer off and on but once it connected it printed very quickly. I printed on regular paper and on the 4x6 photo paper that came with the HP Smart Tank . The print quality on plain office paper is pretty impressive but the photographic printing is absolutely astonishing. I got out a magnifying glass and couldn't see the pixels at all! You can see how much more vivid the colors are on the photo printing in my third photo below.
I am looking forward to trying more print projects on the HP Smart Tank 5103!

Easy Set up and awesome for smart phones
This printer is such a nice product to have in your house. You can print directly from your phone or any other device that you install the printer on. It comes with instructions and a QR code that walks you through downloading the app, setting up the printer and finally printing a picture. Everything was very straight forward and all the supplies needed came with the product so as long as you follow the directions that the app walks you through (step by step) you’ll be all set up in no time. Starting from getting it out of the box, you have to be very careful obviously and then when you get it out, set it on a flat surface. Then you plug it in, hook it up to your WiFi (make sure your Bluetooth is turned on with your phone) and follow the steps. I did not have any 8x11 paper to print the line up page on so I just skipped that step. I still was able to print a picture easily and it came out great. If you prefer to manually set up the printer you also have that option. I did not do that because following the app was easier for me.

Fantastic printer for mobile users!
I wanted to use this specifically for the features provided by the HP Smart app. I did not need to use a computer at any point during the setup process, and I'm able to print photos from my phone with no problems at all.
Wireless setup was very easy, although I did need to turn off and on the printer and app a few times to get things to connect. My phone is a bit older, so this may not even be a concern for most, but I found that my note 9 was able to handle the app and setup easily..
Setup is very straightforward - the app guides you along every step of the way, including what tape to peel off, what cardboard to remove, and what parts to insert at what time. Following step by step did not leave me with any questions like "did I miss something", or "what do I do with xyz". They include a full color quick start guide as well for those who want to get an overview of the process first.
The ink tank is the best part of this printer. The tanks are easy to access, but hidden from normal use with small windows to show a visual level of ink remaining. The ink is easy to fill and I had no spills or drips whatsoever during the fill process.
You do need to push down a little harder than you might expect during the initial fill - there is a piece in the bottle that keeps the ink fresh in storage and that gets popped out internally when you fill for the first time. The caps go on securely, and there is more black ink for later!
The printer does its own automatic head alignment with the scanner, so this is one step I'm glad not to do. Older printers used to make you look at a list, and try to pick the best one by eye. The automatic process yields perfect results. Make sure you have some paper handy for this - no paper suitable for this is included.
Once everything is set and connected, the HP Smart app gives plenty of options for what you can do. You can print photos directly from your phone, and you can also scan and save to the phone as well.
Document print quality is fantastic with crisp lines and sharp text, and photo quality is great enough for sharing with family and friends.
The paper tray is set up in a way where it can be hidden during non-use, and easily supports letter size paper without any sagging of the pages.
Overall, the HP SmartTank 5103 is a great device for those who are more mobile-centric users, and those that do not always want to use a PC to print. With a full featured app, and excellent printer

Ready when you are
This printer is exceptional! it's so quiet and fast.
I love that I can manually fill the ink from refill bottles, that way I can control how much ink I want so the ink will not dry by not using the specific color for long period of time.
Based on my calculations this printer give me the best cost per page compare to every other printer I ever owned.

I am a teacher and I print A LOT of things at home in color and black and white. This printer really impressed me with how crisp and bright the pages print, I am also extremely impressed with the print quality of photos! They look just like the ones you get from the instant photo kiosks! Very clear and look great!

All you need to print cute pictures at home
Honestly this printer exceeded my expectations, the design is pretty, It was easy to set it up, I'm happy to say I didn't need my husband's help, the instructions are pretty clear, it was also easy and satisfying to install the ink in the tanks and it was mess free. I was pleasantly surprised knowing my printer included ink for a year and a pack of photograph paper. I have printed some cute pictures and they came out great, the color is super saturated, I like that I can scan, print documents and photos in the same printer at low cost. Another thing I really like is the Hp smart app, it makes printing very easy and they have also cool printable stuff and you can easily print photos or document from your phone or any device.

Great printer with lots of ink!
I have been very iffy on HP printers over the years, but I figured I would give this tank version that takes ink bottles instead of cartridges. I hated cartridges and absolutely love the bottle ink into the tanks, it's easy to install the ink, the whole setup was easy , I did have a hickup at first with my Internet, but that was my issue with my modem which I fixed. I was able to connect it to my computer and phone via Wi-Fi and the app with no issues, the rest of the setup went by great. I love that you get photo paper with this to which I have printed out photos of my daughter and they have came out beautiful as they should, no complaint. I've also printed several documents for our homeschool and also lots of coloring pages. The size of the machine is perfect, not so big and not so small, all the buttons and screen function right and easy to read. The pages print at a good pretty good speed to, faster than any of my other printers I had. Overall I absolutely love this HP tank printer. I'm glad I got it.

By far the easiest printer to set up!
I replaced my old printer with the HP Smart Tank 5103 and I drug my feet a few days before I decided to set it up because I was dreading the set up process. Let me tell you it was the absolute easiest printer I have ever set up! I set it up through my computer and the directions were simple, step by step and included pictures with each step. It basically set itself up really. Totally hassle free. It prints out very vibrant colors and crisp lines in a very short time so that is another plus. I have printed out at least 30 pages of full color images and the ink tanks are still full. Besides being easy to set up its also very easy to use. Totally recommend this printer for anyone looking to replace your old printer or especially if this would be your first printer. HP set the bar high on this one!!

Upgraded printer/scanner
I decided to upgrade my current basic $50 printer to the HP Smart Tank 5103 color printer/scanner. The instructions for setting it up wirelessly were easy to understand. I did have some issues with getting it to communicate with my internet, but I had just changed my internet carrier the day before and I believe that is what caused the issue, not the printer. The print speed and quality are great. Love that you get photo paper and a good quantity of ink along with the printer. Size and look of printer are perfect - large enough to easily see the indicators on keypad but small enough to fit on most any desk. Sound while printing is average; not especially loud or quiet. I’m very glad I chose the Think Tank 5103 to upgrade to; it’s a great printer and a good value

HP makes an easy to use tank printer
First, the packaging: Open the box, lift out the included supplies box, and there is the printer. It is stored in the box in a bag with 2 handles on it, so you can easily lift the printer out of the box! Kudos, HP. I was surprised how quickly it put a smile on my face.
The included manual does handle manual setup, but I wanted to test out he smart app.
It found the printer almost immediately, and walked me step by step through each step of setting up my printer.
Getting it connected to my network was breeze, and took less than a minute.
Installing the ink in a tank printer was a whole new experience for me, very satisfying to see how much ink goes into the printer.
Quick and easy with no mess at all.
Printing from mobile devices is painless, I was able to remotely print from my office in another state to my house in one try.
It does print a little slow in color, but I am a causal printer, so I am not in a huge hurry.
Black prints are clear and bold and colors look natural and not overly saturated.
There is supposedly 2 years of ink included with the printer, I should be able to get more than that but only time will tell.
Overall, the setup was painless, and getting it connected to my wireless network was painless as well.
I should add that I already had an HP Smart account, but it took me longer to figure out my password than it did to set up this printer.
Build quality is what I would expect from this pricepoint, but it's sturdy enough without feeling heavy, and it takes up a relatively small footprint.
This is mostly because the paper feed is in the back, and there isn't a big output tray to account for.
My most painless inkjet printer experience in over 25 years of working with and on printers.

HP outdid themselves in a good way
HP is such a great brand to own. I know that I can always count on their products to live up to my expectations, to be durable, reliable, and dependable. Not to mention the great customer service that comes from the company themselves. HP, once again, didn't fail to meet my expectations with their brand new printer. The HP Smart Tank 5103e printer, is by far my favorite! You really can't go wrong with this product because it does everything possible. It gives you the option of scanning, copying, faxing, printing, etc. It also allows glossy photos to be printed as well.
The set-up and installation was easy to understand. The direction booklet was well written with pictures and step by step directions on what to do. It probably took me about 10 to 15 minutes to get the printer completely ready. This printer is unique in the fact that it takes 2 different kinds of inks. It has containers inside the printer that are filled with actual bottles of ink (Black, blue, pink, and yellow.) Those inks are used for when glossy photos are printed. It also takes black and multi colored ink cartridges for regular basic printing. I really appreciated the fact that the printer came with all the bottles of ink and Ink cartridges needed for a long time! It also came with 100 glossy photo papers for printing pictures.
The printer has wifi capabilities and has to be connected to wifi in order to work. That could be a downfall for some people that don't have access to the internet. It also doesn't come with actual printing paper. Paper has to be bought right away if anyone is wanting to experience the printers abilities. The printer connects to a mobile application that is downloaded to a phone called HPsmart. It allows you to print pictures from your phone, send and print emails, copy and fax stuff, print documents or papers, literally anything could be printed that is stored on a mobile device. I felt like that mobile application was a great addition to the printer and really helped to allow it to show its true capabilities. The papers and documents that I printed came out nicely. I surprised my mother by printing a bunch of photos of family and such to give to her in an album. They came out beautifully, with such vivid colors and looked wonderful on the glossy photo paper. She loved them! Overall, this is a great printer with so many uses. You can't go wrong with it and I would recommend this HP product!

TANKS ARE GREAT
So I had another brand that uses cartridges and this thing is so much better. No more buying cartridges every couple months. Now I can buy bottles for about the same price and last wayyy longer. Over all the printer is easy to set up with the HP app on my iPhone. Within about 10 minutes I was setup and printing photo. Does take a little longer due to filling the tanks and inserting the print heads. But over all a great and seamless experience. App works very well to print photos directly from my phone and my computer recognizes it right way on the home network. Definitely pick this tank style over Any cartridge printer.

Great printer!
I purchased the HP Smart Tank 5000 to replace and older HP OfficeJet Pro that had gotten old and worn. I also wanted to save money over the ink cartridges. I am quite happy with this printer. The print quality is great and its ability to handle heavier weight paper is very helpful.

Good home printer
The HP Smart tank was easy to put together so that's a plus. I like that the ink should last a long time and that I do not have to buy ink cartridges. I like that I can scan from the app and also print when I'm away from home. The only thing I do not like is that it is not the fastest printer but it gets the job done.
