I have had this printer for just over a year and it will not print any longer. Just tried TWO different black 564XL cartridges and no black printing whatsoever even though the printer status shows all ink cartridges as full. Only the blue cartridge seems to be working - REALLY FRUSTRATING!!! Need to print something out ASAP and can't.

The wireless was easy to set up and the it worked on the first try with my iPAD and other computers. It is a little loud and slow on the first page print though not bad given the wireless connect delay.

My HP Photosmart 5514 e-all-in-one printer is a pleasure to use. The compact design and wireless operation allows it to fit almost anywhere. The option to print on both sides of a page automatically if desired is a real time and paper saver. I've used it for 24 lb paper and for shipping labels and it has operated flawlessly. The touch screen controls on the printer are very easy to use. I can't wait to explore all the possibilities of the web printing function. This printer is feature packed and reasonably priced.

The system itself was simple to set up and get running. It seems to be functioning smoothly within our wireless environment. However, the remote e-printer aspect is something we have an issue with as it was not as intuitve as expected. Therefore, our ability to print remotely is still not available. Other than that it works great.

When I initially unpacked this printer, I thought I would not be able to use it without the USB cable (that did not come with it). But I was able to program the machine without the cable and get the info from the disc in my laptop to the printer. For us non computer geeks - this was amazing.

With getting a new computer and not being able to use my old printers, I went with a printer that was the same as my new computer an HP. I feel that with the price and the free shipping, it was well worth the price, especially since my house is wireless, and I have 2 daughters that use their laptops for homework which periodically needs to be printed out, and now they are able to do that from their rooms.

With this printer's automatic installing features, I'm very satisified that I did not need to contact an agent with IT skills. Absoultely one time set up and installl the printer; also the printer automatically searched HP's site for all available and current drivers still with the cd rom inside the main computer system. It's awesome that I didn't have to uninstall the programs & drivers and try again. Truly a time saver. All steps did not take a whole lot of time to complete. Relatively quick set up.

All the features worked as advertised. Wireless connected right away. Two sided worked first time. Color printing is good, although I have seen some lines in photo prints. I wish there was a more sturdy receiving tray.

Had separate printer and scanner and decided to get an all-in-one as I'm downsizing and moving to smaller quarters. Only used the printer so far but it works fine and prints on both sides of paper which is a big plus over my old printer.

So far I like the printer. I've had very good luck with the mechanics of HP printers (no paper jams, etc.) and hope this one will be as good. The color doesn't seem as good when printing a photograph as printers I have used in the past. Not sure why. It's lighter weight than the one I had before, but also smaller which is good. It's the only HP printer that would work with Mac OS X.

I ordered this HP printer to replace a nightmare printer I had. I am very happy with this HP product and all its features.. The double sided printing is such a bonus. The price was very reasonable for all that this printer does.

This is a slow, noisy unit. It shakes while printing. We have trouble getting paper to feed properly. Ink sensor said we had a quarter of black, and the color cartridges said we had 1/3 left, but gave no warnings. Unit would not print until all were replaced. I should have insisted my husband take it back.

Easy to install and prints great, I have it as default printer on 2 lap top's. You can't beat wireless. The only thing I see as a problem it is difficult to load 4X6 paper into it. Other than that I think it is a quality low priced printer

Produces great prints, and many sizes of paper can be used. Because of this versatility, loading paper for prints is a little cumbersome. Print tray needs to be removed in order to slide paper against the back stop.

The printer does what I bought it for. Works and scans real well.

I really like the features and the wifi that are on this printer. But every time I try to print something that has multiple pages it shuts down my computer and I have to reboot. I have no idea what's wrong and have limited minutes on my phone so I can't sit on the phone with tech to find out. So, for right now, I am resigned to printing one page at a time which is a pain!

Does everything expected. Only downsides are wish there was a larger paper tray and an easier option to print b&w. Prints fast and quite. Used mostly for documents, not much photo printing.

I love this printer. It was seamless to set up. We have a fairly old desk top computer, a laptop and 3 cell phones in this household, and it was extremely easy to set up this printer and print from all the devices. I had tried a different wireless printer, and it was nothing but trouble. The HP Photosmart 5514 was up and running wirelessly within 15 minutes of taking it out of the box.

I LIKE THE PRINTER BUT HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE NEW ONE AND THE SUPPORT REPLACED IT WITH A RECONDICTION ONE, WHICH DID NOT MAKE ME VERY HAPPY.. THE HP SERVICE WAS FAST AND ON TIME.

Very easy setup! This printer has well exceeded my expectations. It has many features and apps which will keep me busy for some time. One of the best features is the ability to email directly to the printer. I highly recommend this printer!

Since a USB cable is necessary for computer use, it should be included with the printer.

The first printer to arrive ate every page we fed into it. We returned it and the second one would not scan. We heard grinding noises as the scanning arm attempted to move left to right. Don't they test these things before they send them out the door? An extremely lousy piece of junk. No wonder HP is rapidly losing market share and market cap. I'll never buy an HP product again!

I was disappointed that I wasn't told by customer service person that the quality of the printer was not the same as the printer, copier, fax, scanner that I had. . It's a piece of plastic and hardly the quality I had in the C6100 series. If you're looking for quality or speed, don't buy the HP photosmart 5514

Printer was a snap to install. Istructions were VERY easy to follow and really idiot proof. The printer great so far. Scanner quality is average, but OK for my needs. My only objection is that the whole printer "feels" cheap. Cheap, flimsy plastic, I can see some of the parts wearing out before its time. I have one of the older HP printers and there is no comparison in quality of the printer itself. I have not tried the photo printing yet, so cannot comment on that feature.

Everything as advertised. Only issue: the installer couldn't find the printer without intervention and the error message didn't help much. The installer used a secondary method for finding the printer rather than the preferred method. Now, in use, it takes a little too long to spool the print jobs for my taste. However, the printed results are immaculate and the features work perfectly.

The printer quality is excellent. It was easy to set up--and I am technologically challenged. I really like the wireless feature. It allows me to print from my new HP laptop, which is downstairs--printer with internet connection is upstairs. I especially like the 2-sided print feature, which saves a lot of paper.

Great all-in-one
By WayneF
I bought this printer for the air print feature so I could print from my iPad2, that works fine. The only real problem for me was setting up the wireless. Maybe it was because I have a duel band router, but I could not set it up with the WPS feature, it kept timeing out. When I tried to connect manually It kept telling me my pass phrase was wrong. Which I knew was not right as I have a laptop and iPad that work fine with that pass phrase. I changed the pass phrase in the router to one without...

GREAT PRINTER
By CptDent
The only fault with this printer is the lack of documentation. Installation looks like a nightmare if you see only 3 pages of instructions. See lala33's comments. Her "expert" even messed it up. Why? Because installation is all automatic and easier than it looks. You get an "It cannot be that easy' feeling and make it harder than it is. Set up the printer like it asks. DO NOT connect the USB cable yet!! Do what the printer tells you to do. Accept all of the default answers. Yes, this printer ...
