Rated 1 out of 5 by whydoIneedanickname455 from Very disappointed I bought this about 3 months ago to replace my old HP Envy 4500 that had developed a problem after years of use. I have been buying HP printers since the 90's and just wanted something reliable. The computer cannot communicate with the printer unless I power cycle the printer. It appears to be on but will not communicate with our computers until I turn it off and back on. I believe the problem is the printer goes in to power saving mode, disabling communications. I have tried reinstalling the software but it does not help. I have not been able to find any way to disable this feature.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Oakley from Copier way too slow I bought this because my 5530 ceased to connct to the computer and it was the same size. However, the display is smaller, numbers not discrete, and it takes 6 minutes to make a copy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Angela23 from works very well I bought this printer for my granddaughter's birthday. I had sent her an old laptop (HP) and then purchased her this printer. I visited her last month, and used it myself. She can print pictures directly from her phone of her 2 year old, and can print from the laptop, that I helped hook up, and showed her how the software works.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Rays printer from Example: Great features! It is a decent printer for the money. I would like to have been able to scan and save more than one document at a time. Highlights of printer did not say that you could only scan one doc. at a time. I would have spent a little more for this feature if I had known.

Rated 3 out of 5 by just me from disapointed the prints and copies are wonderful but the paper system is really hard to work - I'm handicapped and I really have to fight with it but even those in the house that aren't handicapped have issue pulling the drawer out, also the little touch screen is really sensitive so my shaky hands don't get along well - the copy feature is really slow in printing - like I said the print quality is excellent

Rated 1 out of 5 by bbixby from Lasted 5 months I have bought HP inkjets for over 20 years. The last two finally broke me of ever buying not only another HP printer, but another inkjet ever again. Changed ink cartridge and cannot print a clean page. Clean print cartridge 8 times, same result. Bought a laser jet (non HP brand) and so far it is the best printer I ever purchased. Wasted money and time, but won't make that mistake ever again. I will no longer be scammed.

Rated 2 out of 5 by AJJW from Two-Sided Printing Default This printer prints two-sided and nothing I have tried makes it do otherwise. Other than printing the entire document--and I mean the entire doc. It won't let you select certain pages in the full ink mode. Truly aggravating.

Rated 2 out of 5 by JollyRoger83 from I have not used it long enough to rate it. I have been having problems with the scanning feature, I get a grey line at the end of the scan instead of a complete section that I have outlined. I have had to turn it off and on because it will not always connect, this happens right in the middle af a scanning session.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Ikaikanick123 from Amazing Product. Impressed and satisfied!!! I have never had a printer that was this easy to set up, move, fill, replace cartridges, and even have the support it needed from HP. I have worked around over 80+ printers and this is a very functional, operational, quick response, and effective printer, with a lot of power, great graphic printing options, and over all a great All-in-One Printer. Its not the smallest of things, but it is functional, and does everything I need to have it do, except Fax, which is a whole different story. Thanks HP, keep up the great product creations!

Rated 3 out of 5 by Barb1x from ok, not great I have always used HP printers. I needed to replace my old printer and the first one had so many bells and whistles it was too confusing for me. Besides that it had a part that had fallen off and would not work right. So it went back. I then ordered the Envy 4520. Since the paper drawer is on the bottom of the printer I find I have to physically lift the printer up when I have to change the paper. I make alot of greeting cards and they have to be flipped over and fed through one at a time so this was a big inconvenience. I notice there are rubber feet on the back of the printer I wonder if the front needs that too? I finally found something to slide underneath that lifts the front up so I don't have to lift the printer but now the printer tilts up slightly which I hope does not cause a problem with performance. So far it has been ok. I also have to say that it is very hard to find technical help when you need it. Very little instruction comes with these new printers. Not everyone is that computer savvy. I loved my 5 yr old printer, wish you still had that. Not really happy with this but I guess I will just give it a chance.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Elvi from Very good It is excellent, but I do not give it 5 stars because it needs at least one USB port is very necessary if you want to scan directly to a pen drive.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Argie from Another great Printer by HP it has been 10 years since I purchased a printer (also from HP) until it broke, so I decided to buy another HP printer mainly because they have very good products that last a long time and have affordable supplies such as ink. Of course 10 years is a long time technologically speaking and I was amazed at the beauty of this printer! It works smoothly and fast. The setup was very simple if you follow instructions and you are good to go. I don't even have to turn my computer on if I want to print from my cell phone after I downloaded the HP App. Most important, I was prepared to spend quite a bit of money for a basic All-In-One printer, and was stoked when I found this one was affordable and high quality. It had all of the features I needed and at a great price, but more surprising is the way it works. I love it and I love everything HP. I recommend it.

Are there any new drivers available for this printer? Mine is currently only printing in black and white (repeatedly without prompting as well). I have shut it down and rebooted it. Double checked my laptop in it saying to print in color, but nothing.
