Out of the box, printing was horrible. Margins weren't right, printing was skipping lines...I ended up cleaning the heads, printing test pages and reprinting pages 10+ times with no luck.
Eventually I updated the firmware and it started printing correctly. From then, printing was pretty good, but:
1. You have to keep the printing app open until your print job is done...if your phone goes to sleep in the middle of a print, your job stops midway through.
2. After troubleshooting the out-of-the-box issues, I had about 10 pages of black ink left on the starter cartridges.
I don't know how they ship something so broken. I searched for replacement ink and it was more expensive than the printer, so I got a laser printer (canon lbp622cdw - color laser for ~$225)
Save yourself some headaches and just get a laser printer. It's more money but they are better in almost every aspect.

Yes, the 15-pages free every month is going away in December. I thought about whether this printer deserves to stay plugged in. In the end, yes, I will continue to pay $1 per month to keep it around and here are the reasons why:
- It has a scanner, and the HP Smart app on iPhone is fantastic. I can scan to PDF directly on my phone and then either email it, or send the PDF to Adobe Fill and Sign, to "sign the form" and then email it from there. THIS is the #1 reason why I'm keeping it around.
- At $12/year, for the little amount that we print, we are still saving money. Prior to 2018, we were buying new ink carts anyway for 3x that price because our old ink carts would always be dried up/clogged up every time we needed to print.
- I have an old HP Color LaserJet CM1312nfi MFP as a backup printer. That workhorse has been in our household for 12 years (I think I paid $350 for it back then). It's great for black and white and basic web page printouts, but doesn't have the detail/clarity of these newer printers. I haven't had to print a big print job in years since I can remember, but I think I still have a few thousand pages worth of toner left in ol' reliable if we need it.
- I bought that $4.99 Canon 8.5x11" pack of 50 pages of matte photo paper that was recently here on SD and also a $10 paper craft cutter (to help me cut straight). I will print photos with the 15/pages/mo of instant ink whenever it suits our fancy.
Overall, these Instant Ink hp printers are still worthy of the space and power plug they occupy in our house.Hope this helps!

I'm sorry they are going to start charging $1/mo but I knew it was too good to last. It's been totally worth it to not have to buy overpriced HP cartridges or $10 non-working generic cartridges.
The scanner functionality is actually pretty great and for $25 you get a decent scanner that can scan right to your phone in decent quality.
For $25 (even with the $1 a month ink plan) it's a decent deal. I have a color laser and the quality is much much better, but that's not a fair comparison.
I print so rarely mine always go bad and I have stopped buying more ink. I wish I knew about this subscription thing in the past.
Which cartridges come with it? My HP printer uses expensive ones of course. See above.

LOL same here, printing 0-15 pages per month. It's our spare printer and any fee charged is too much. Does anyone know if they will deduct from account balance or charge credit card on file for that $1 per month? I still have $10 in there from signing up last year.
