Easy to set up. Great printing results.
This was my first time using a home printer with refillable ink tanks, and I'm really impressed with the technology. The printer comes with a large bottle of black ink and three smaller bottles of the colored inks. Filling the tanks was easy -- simply open the bottle, invert it over the ink tank, and hold steady until the tank is full. The black bottle contains enough ink for more than one fill, so store that bottle away for later. Absolutely no mess at all! I feel good about being able to refill the ink rather than buying entirely new cartridges, and I love that I can individually fill one color at a time.
The print quality is fantastic. The HP Smart Tank 5101 produces crisp, clear blacks and vibrant colors. I even got great results printing on heavier cardstock, and I'm looking forward to seeing how it handles things like labels as well.
The HP mobile app is really convenient, allowing me to print photos or documents directly from my phone over Wi-Fi. HP even provide a library of printables right in the app, like coloring sheets and planner pages. There's even printable craft projects.
I'll continue using my existing laser printer for high-volume black and white printing, but the HP Smart Tank 5101 is now my go-to printer for color documents. The effortless integration with the mobile app is simply an unbeatable feature. I particularly like the integrated Wi-Fi which means it's easy for everyone in the home to print directly from their own desktop, laptop, or phone, without needing to log in to one particular computer. I'm very impressed with how home color printing technology has progressed recently, and HP have produced an excellent printer for family use.

A good an all-in-one inkjet printer
The HP Smart Tank 5101 is an all-in-one inkjet printer ideal for home use.
It offers low running costs thanks to its refillable ink tanks, which are claimed to provide up to 2 years of ink. It also boasts mobile printing capabilities and a user-friendly HP Smart app for easy setup and control.
Here's a quick rundown of its pros and cons:
Pros:
* Low running costs with refillable ink tanks
* Up to 2 years of ink included
* Mobile printing capabilities
* User-friendly HP Smart app
Cons:
* Slow print speeds
* Not great for photo printing
Overall, the HP Smart Tank 5101 is a good choice for home users who print a moderate amount of documents and prioritize affordability.

Great for at-home printing
The HP Smart Tank All-in-One Printer is able to meet all my needs for at-home printing of both personal and work documents along with digital photos.
The printer was easy to setup using both the included Instructions for Use and the HP Smart app available for download. Filling the ink tanks was a mess-free and a breeze thanks to the color coded bottles and ink ports. I love the tank level indicators on the front of the printer that allow me to see just how much ink I have left. The amount of ink used for printing pages seems very minimal leaves me confident I will be able to print numerous work documents throughout the year without fear of running low on ink.
Connection to WI-FI was quick and painless allowing me to use all of the features available on the HP Smart app. The app allows printing from my phone when I am away from my desk and computer. The self-healing WI-FI feature available proves efficient as I have not noticed any loss of connection during use.
I was impressed with the print quality of printed pages to include a digital photo printed on regular printing paper. The print is crisp, colors do not bleed, and the speed of printing was quicker than other at-home printers I have used in the past. The paper feed picks up one piece of a paper at a time limiting paper jam experiences thankfully.
The printer status window is quite small and hard to see in a low lit area. While the status buttons are well-lit, they will only light up when a related featured is engaged, such as document scanning. The scanning buttons only light up when a something is placed on the scanning window of the printer.
I do recommend this printer for at-home use for light print jobs.

My HP Experience
I am so excited to be apart of this Campaign. My Printer was Delivered. I was like a kid in the candy store..smiling and grining. Can't wait to fully test it out..got some Graduation invitations I'll be printing up soon! But just the Test Print Page was crisp! I also had some last minute Medical Forms i had to print and this Printer took care of my needs and everything printed clearly. And adding/loading the ink wells was definitely interesting! It took me 15 minutes from start to finish to get it going and printing and fully setup not too bad...I Love it..

Exciting future of Printing!
I could not wait to start using my printer! As soon as my husband and I received it in the mail, we got to work setting it up. The printer is so smart, it seems to communicate with you. When you press the info or wifi button it prints pages with step by step instructions for both HP and Mac to help you troubleshoot the problem. I did have trouble connecting it to my wifi, which was frustrating, but once I had it set up there were no additional problems. It was worth the trouble because it helped me familiarize myself with the new technology. When I saw the results of my print job I was very impressed- the colors are so vivid and the print is very precise. The paper loads in easily and feeds smoothly. I love how the ink is in liquid bottles and not toner cartridges. I feel like I am helping reduce my carbon footprint. This is a printer that I hope lasts a long, long time. I will recommend this printer to my family and friends! It works great on a desk, attached to a lap top, in an at home office, to print both business and personal jobs.

Just enough
Coming from the HP 8600 I need to remember I don't make that many copies anymore. I don't do many multiple copies.
I don't FAX, SCAN was difficult. Lastly, the cartridges were as expensive annually as a new printer.
The SMART TANK 5000 is just enough. Color/black & white printing, refillable ink cartridges, SCAN, Remote Printing which is quiet.
The single missing star was on Wi Fi set up. Needed to move down from 5G to 2.4G to successfully set-up (can move back to 5G after). My Internet company helped with this.

Total fail
Terrible customer service. Received printer direct from HP. Could set up, contacted Customer Service who directed me to tech service. After 3 hours on the phone, pictures, control of my system by tech, it was established that the print heads were missing a latch?
I told customer service that something wasnt right with print heads. Passed the coment on to tech service. 3 hours later.....
Custmer service told me to send printer back and once they received it and confirmed the problem they would send me a new one. Or I could buy a new one and they would reimburse me wben they received and confirmed the defect.

DONT BUY THIS PRODUCT…. BEWARE
Tried setting the printer up…. Followed instructions that were included. Kept hearing a beeping noise….. troubleshooted the printer… 🖨️ Still beeping noise…… tried calling customer service Four times…. I was placed on hold every time… the call was disconnected every time. Had to start the call all over again. Not an easy process. It’s a series of questions you have to go thru to get help with setting up this printer. I never was able to speak directly to a person until almost 8pm that night. By then I was frustrated. I sent it back and got my full refund. Refund took about a week to post back to my account. They charge you for a RESHELVE FEE …. To resale this piece of 💩. Never again…. Never. There is no customer service at all to assist you in any way.

So far so good!
I have had other HP printers in the past and I was getting tired of constantly buying ink cartridges. I like that the ink in this ink tank printers goes a long way before needing to replace/refill them. The print quality is good and it prints faster than my old ink jet printers. I think the only caveat with this printer (and I didn't realize it until I used it) was that you have to manually flip the paper over to print both sides, whereas my old inkjet printers did that automatically. Other than that, it's pretty solid. It was easy to set up and connect to my computer and wifi.

Good Printer - Fair Price
Lets start by saying I am a baby boomer but not totally ignorant when it come to computers and things. I found the set up instructions a little off. Some of the sites that I was directed to were different than shown in the directions and did not react as described in the manual. I found it much easier to set up the printer using a printer cable first.(That was very fast- once I gave up on the manual instructions) It went much smoother and I was able to set up the wireless feature later. The printer prints as you would expect - nice clear images and text. The ink was easy to load and it seems this process will be much better than buying ink cartridges. Have had this for about 2 weeks now and I am completely satisfied with this purchase.

Average Printer
I see the major advantage of this printer as the infrequency of the ink replacement. I was able to get it loaded with ink, and up and running fairly easily. However, every time I use it, first it has to "wake up", which takes a minute, and then it has LOTS of whirring and clicking and clanking noises when it actually prints. The quality of the print has been very good so far.

No fax
This may be a good printer but it was offered to me by hp as a replacement to an all in one printer that broke. I had to return it because it does not have fax capabilities. The only tanksmart printer with fax is relatively expensive

Surprise, Surprise, Surprise! HP outdoes itself!
The HP Smart Tank 5101 All-in-One Printer has exceeded my expectations in every way. From the sleek design to its exceptional quality, this printer stands out. It delivers sharp and vibrant prints consistently. The printer speed is perfect for high volume tasks. What highly stands out are the specific instructions to set it up, very detailed and sensible to follow. I was dreading and anticipating a couple of hours to assemble but was less than an hour. I was proud of myself in the assembly and pleased about the easy to follow instructions. Additionally, I appreciate the ease of downloading the HP software along with the ease of software connectivity.

Thank you HP fantastic printer.
What impressed me about this Smart Tank 5101 printer is how small it is, it fits anywhere.
It is surprising how easy it was to install, really even a child could do it.
One of the things I appreciated is how quiet it is when printing or scanning.
HP has done a great design with this printer, as the print quality is unbeatable.
The application is really easy to use and when you are in a hurry it works great.
The system for filling the ink tanks is fantastic as there is no chance of spilling ink.
And the best thing is that using the ink is cheaper than buying cartridges in previous models.
This printer is definitely worth the money.
We are very happy with this outstanding printer.

Super Smart HP Tank
I have just started using my HP Smart Tank 5101 so I will have to revisit to compile more info on it. It was very easy to set up. The ink tank is clearly marked, as are the ink colors. The directions weren't the best when it came to inserting the ink cartridges so I looked up the process on You Tube. I had to remove a part that was protecting the cartridges and wanted to be sure I was doing the right thing. The most unusual aspect of the Smart Tank is a separate app for scanning, which was quite unique. So far the printing and scanning have been excellent and it's a quiet machine. Will get back to you later after further observation. Thank you Insiders!

Amazing Colors
This printer is pretty quiet, the colors are vibrant and the ink tanks are a plus, since buying the ink in bottles definitely is a money saver. The one thing that could be improved would be a quicker printing speed and the ability to fax.

First time super tank user
I'm excited to review my new HP 5101 printer. In setting it up the instruction booklet could have been a little more explanatory, however it may have just been me wanting more explanation on a particular step. After the initial stumbling block the rest of the setup was fairly easy. I do like the wireless aspect, no wires,(yea!). I do like the layout of the control panel buttons and lights, very smartly on the left side of the printer and easy to understand. I would prefer if the paper tray held more paper. I will do more testing and post another review in a couple days. So far I like this printer.

Loving this Smart Tank Printer
This HP Smart Tank 5101 All-in-One Printer is really amazing! The print quality is simply outstanding. It handles everything from text documents or vibrant graphics like a pro. Crisp text and vivid colors make every print job a look great. One of my favorite parts is its speed. This printer can print up to 12 black and white pages per minute and up to 5 color pages per minute. What attracted me to this printer is the ink tanks. I love that you fill the tanks yourself. No more messing with ink cartridges and up to two years of ink is included in the box, so I will be saving a lot on ink costs. It's perfect for people who print regularly. The self-healing Wi-Fi is really cool because it ensures a stable connection. You can also connect all your devices through the HP app for convenient printing and scanning. It was so easy to set up too! No matter if you need to print, scan, or copy, this all-in-one printer has you covered. Setting it up was so easy, thanks to step-by-step animations. Plus, the smart buttons and low-ink sensors make managing your printer a breeze.

A Seamless Printing Experience with the HP Smart T
I recently purchased the HP Smart Tank 5101 All-in-One Printer, and I must say that my experience with this product has been nothing short of exceptional. As someone who had never used an all-in-one printer before, I was pleasantly surprised by how quick and easy it was to set up.
Setting up the HP Smart Tank 5101 was a breeze. The package came with clear and concise instructions, allowing me to navigate through the setup process effortlessly. Within minutes, I had connected the printer to my Wi-Fi network and installed the necessary drivers on my computer. The user-friendly interface made it straightforward for me to customize various settings such as paper type, print quality, and even scan preferences.
One feature that truly impressed me was the ink tank system. With its large capacity, I no longer have to worry about constantly replacing ink cartridges. The transparent ink tanks also provide a visual indicator of ink levels, preventing any last-minute surprises when in need of important prints.
The print quality of the HP Smart Tank 5101 is outstanding. Whether printing documents or high-resolution photos, I found that every detail was captured accurately, resulting in sharp and vibrant prints. Additionally, the scanner produced clear scans with precise color reproduction.
One aspect worth mentioning is the wireless printing capability of this printer. Being able to print directly from my smartphone or tablet has been incredibly convenient. The HP Smart app allows seamless integration between my devices and the printer, enabling me to print photos or documents remotely without any hassle.
The HP Smart Tank 5101 All-in-One Printer has truly simplified my printing experience. From the easy setup process to the exceptional print quality, it has exceeded all my expectations.

Loving It
HP Smart Tank printer is pretty awesome. My old printer was about to die, so this one came in just in time. It was super easy to set up, both on my laptop as well as on my phone. It prints fast, well and efficiently. Scans just as well - from both devices. I love that it is wireless and I can't use my phone to print/scan. Looks very sleek in my office . So far, I am loving it!
