HP OfficeJet Pro 8139 All-in-One Printer with 12 months free Instant Ink, AI-capable

It prints like any other color printer. Sometimes the text doesn't light up on the prints and the black and white prints don't seem as clear as my previous printer. It was an absolute bugger to connect to the laptop, it doesn't always stay connected to the internet. It is slow to print from Microsoft Word to the point that I think it must not be connected. The computer will send me a message that it failed to print but then it ended up printing anyway. When it fails to print it won't send a failed to print message to the laptop. Spend less time with this AI crap that I don't even need for a printer, stick with the basics and just make sound printers that can do the basics well. People want convenience and that won't happen when you are making machines that have extra complexities that they don't even need.

I had difficulty finding the owners manual. Finally able to figure out how to change paper size and use the screen. Copies are excellent. I like the separate inks. Using the printer is easier every day

The main reason I wanted this printer was to get and print legal documents. I have not found a way to get the document on the full page. If I have regular or legal paper in tray it only prints half the page and very small print. It has to be on expensive special DAR required paper. So I can't afford to make mistakes. Help!

I hate the whole ink subscription where you have not only buy the printer but you then have to par per print. We don't use the printer a lot so subscription doesn't work for me. We have found ink to be extremely expensive to buy the cartridges and they don't last long.

I replaced an old HP8600 which was at least 12 years old! So, I have high expectations! So far, I find the paper tray annoying and it doesn't just slide in/out easily, I had the hardest time at set up with it, I'm hoping that's just a one time issue! The only other issue is I can't find how to set how many rings I want the fax to pick up on? My old machine had an option for that. Other than those 2 minor things, it was easy for me to set up and it's been printing fine!

This one is a strange fruit. It prints from the tray it wants, when it wants no matter which one I choose. I keep photo paper in tray 1(the top tray) and regular printer paper in tray 2(the bottom and bigger tray). Other than that. I'm happy with it.

The set up was relatively easy. But I prefer detailed, written instructions over pictures. I was confused by the plastic piece on the bottom of the cartridges and took some time to realize that they needed to be removed. I was also unsure about some of the extra material that needed to be removed from the ink cartridge bay.

I love the office Jet and the 12 months free ink. It's my second one. I would say the screen is a little simpler than my 8030 but the screen on my 8030 had all the options on the first screen. On the 8139 you have to scroll to see more options. A small difference I'm getting used to. It prints quick enough for me and takes up only a little more space on my desk that the 8030.

I'm not impressed, so far, with the concept of Instant Ink. It takes too long to get replacement cartridges. If I had known I may have bought a printer elsewhere. On my old printer I always had cartridges on hand so I was never without ink. Ask again in a few months and I might have changed my opinion. It is too soon to tell now.

Paper tray parts are cheap and flimsy. Paper loader works poorly. Sometimes grabs ten or more pages at a time. Lots of paper jams. Terrible for jobs with two sided printing. Unfortunately bad experience with anything more than one off single page jobs. Set up moderately easy. Everyone makes you download an app these days. Wasn't particularly helpful. Would appreciate a manual with explanation of how to adjust paper sizes and set up the paper feeder tray properly.
