I have not been able to use it. It is sitting here, all lights flashing for 2 weeks. Everytime I start your process, I have a different problem. I tried to upgrade to Windows11, but the message said I don't have enough room. Next I tried to follow your directions for Windows 10. I went through several steps and then received another message about too much of something, I needed less of (GHZ?) Don't know what to do.

This printer is very similar to my old one and it was very easy to install the software and set the printer up by just doing it through my computer it automatically connected. I love it!

Compact? I love that you can print from your phone. Quality of the printing is excellent.

I previously had an Officejet printer. It died and I bought this Deskjet. So maybe my review is not fair because I've been spoiled by a higher quality printer. But this printer just feels so cheap, like the paper tray will snap off if I don't handle it gently. I am SO disappointed that this printer does not do double-sided printing. Like manual/crank windows in a car, I didn't know one-sided printing was still a thing. Access to the inside of the printer to clear a paper jam is very narrow, not for someone with fat fingers. The price was okay. I thought printers were inexpensive because you dish out money on the ink. Doesn't seem to be true anymore.

Good quality and value for money for a low end priced printer.

Good but a bit noisy. When it starts to pull the paper it makes a bit of a noise, startling the dogs, and myself, sometimes, as I am not yet used to it starting up. It may be where I have it placed it; but it is on the same table as my other HP model and that one makes less noise. This one, the 2842e is great for being able to scan books and small pieces of paper, etc., due to its flat scan bed. My other HP model has to feed it thru like a piece of paper, which works well if the paper is not much different than 8.5 x 11 inches. I really bought this printer for the flatbed scanning feature, but, as it does just as well as my other HP printer, I have decided to donate that other printer and keep the flatbed, 2842e.

The printer wouldn't work because it only works on 2G. We have 5G and no information on the unit said it only worked on 2G. Returned it after trying everything.

The drivers don't install properly, my photos don't print full page. Seems like a common issue, had I known I'd have bought another printer.

Great printer, quiet and not big. We had problems connecting to Wifi, Your modem needs to be set for 2 bandwidth one for the printer which requires 2.4 and 5 gb for your other equipment.

A great printer for home use: print quality is excellent and the printer price is really reasonable

Very difficult setup specially wireless. No easy way besides needing a cable to do the initial setup. I am a IT guy and still had to struggle for 20plus minutes to have setup completed and the scanning part still does not work. Stay away from this printer

I didn't realize I have to use HP ink or else the printer wont print. It is a printer and it does it's job, it's my 3rd HP deskjet if that tells you anything. I will not sign up for the ink plan because I hardly print, and when I wear this printer out I will not buy HP again because of your ink rule. I will be watching because someone is going to file a class action lawsuit for the chip in your ink cartridges that will ruin the printer forever. Until I read that about the ink, I loved everything about HP, but now I am mad, sorry for the poor review, but you lost a loyal customer.

I'm glad I didn't recycle my old printer yet...one more paper jam on this 2855 piece of junk and I'm digging out my old one. I can find no reason that the flat when inserted paper would bend and curl in the paper feed, but it surely does.

The printer hasn't arrived and I could have ordered it from Amazon for the same price having it delivered the same day. I have 2 of the same printers in other locations - - they work fine. I don't know about this one. I also know that having the "Instant Ink" costs more than it's worth. I'm not going to subscribe to it because of the monthly cost...

Was hard to set up, would not stay online, wouldn't scan. Returned it after a week. Previous HP printer had no problem.

The printer does a fine job printing, but getting it set up was difficult and took several tries. The world needs a simple to turn on printer without needing an internet connection to the manufacturer to get it able to operate, just a plug and play unit with a usb connnection.

Buy Canon! Printer not even on HP printer list! This is my second HP printer. I have reset wireless network, shutoff phone, remove app and reinstalled, turned off printer, unplugged, watched YouTube tube videos. All I want to do is print and copy and I certainly DO NOT want to subscribe to ANYTHING just to print.

My new printer is a compact size nearly identical to the 14 year old HP it replaces. It prints quickly and clearly, and offers suitable features for someone who occasionally needs to print, copy or scan.
