HP OfficeJet 8010 All-in-One

This is by far and away the worst printer I have ever used - user unfriendly, never "ready to go" when you need it; DRINKS ink at a huge rate. Keep away!!!!

When this printer works - which is rare - its OK. Most often it does not work; my HP comptuer tells me its offline while I am looking at the printer which appears to be on-line. Sometimes a week or two after I have requested a print job, it fires up out of the blue and begins printing. Completely and utterly unreliable. This is my second HP 8010e, a replacement for the first which had the same problem. Look elsewhere

This printer is the worst ever, everytime you use this printer you either have to reset it or sign in, it never just works, I would never recommend it to anyone.

I had previously used an HP 5610 Officejet printer which worked well for some time until it developed a mechanical fault.

Earlier in 2021 I bought an Officejet 8010 printer to replace it. A mistake that I regret.

When the printer works (with Mac OS 11.6.2) it works adequately but uses a lot of ink.
However, it is so unreliable as to be verging on useless because of the junk software (HP Smart.app) that drives it. I often find that the printer is claimed to be off-line even though the lights are on, and no helpful error messages explain why...

The printer part will work with a Mac but the Scanner seems to have a com's problem and apparently will not work due to the HP Smart app that is needed by HP to monitor ink usage levels as part of the very opaque HP+ ink subscription. For us it did work once on a new M1 Macbook pro, but then stopped. As its meant to be a multifunction device , not having a key bit of that offering renders it a a large, expensive and ultimately frustrating low grade printer with deep questions about its purpose and lifespan Sadly HP support is a truly awful...

Printed approx 20 pages over the course of a month, seemed good, until we now have a persistent paper jam that cannot be cleared, despite there is no physical paper in the printer. In this world, you get what you pay for.

I purchased the HP Officejet 8010e about 6 weeks and to date it has performed faultlessly. Set up was simple, even for tech Neanderthal like me and it was happily printing straight away. This simplicity in set up included wireless connection which for me has been an issue in the past with other printers. Print quality is as advertised and very good for the price, both black & white and colour. The double sided printing option is also an advantage. The touch screen information display whilst fairly small is clear and easy to read. Scanning is a ...

The printer sets up quite easily over wifi. Printing works easily, although the quality is average, but the real issue is with scanning. The only apparent option to scan is to create an HP account. The app that comes with the printer says scanner won't work without it. No way around it either unless you hunt through help sites. I have enough accounts and enough passwords and I didn't want another account, so the printer was going over the edge of the balcony until I found a link on the HP website for HP OfficeJet 8010 All-in-One Print and Scan ...
