HP Envy 110 e-All-in-One Printer (Brown)

Ive never written a review online for anything, but I have to warn other potential consumers about this product. I would give this product minus 5 stars if I could. I purchased this printer 13 months ago at Staples. All I wanted was a wireless printer that I could hook up to my home network, and the sales guy herds me over to this fancy printer that looks like a home entertainment component more than a printer. Then he demos it and my first thought was, that fancy little door that lifts and the little arm that swings out sure do look fragile. So I ask him: Those parts look fragile, have you ever had someone complain about them breaking? Nope he says, I even have one myself and I use it all the time it works like a champ. Guess what? It stopped working ONE MONTH after the warranty expired. I think Ive printed maybe 50 times on this printer (thats maybe once or twice a WEEK) we only need printouts for signing things and the occasional recipe. Today is April 23rd - two weeks ago a Paper Jam - Back error popped up on the pretty little LED screen. No problem, I go through the steps to clear the jam, which was nonexistent, there was no paper jam. I even sat and watched all 15 minutes of this supercilious video: [...] The printer works again, briefly, but becomes more and more hung up each time I try to print. First my laptop, then my husbands laptop, and each time the Paper Jam- Back error comes up, there is NO paper jam anywhere in the printer. Ive taken ALL the paper out of the printer, Ive ensured the carriage moves freely, Ive cleaned the rollers with anti-static wipes, Ive unplugged the printer from the device and from the wall, for the suggested :30 and beyond. Finally, I cant even restart the printer without the paper jam error halting all initialization progress. I think its a firmware issue, an update issue, so I try to download firmware thinking it will help reset, but the Paper Jam - Back error is like a poltergeist. I know that the brains of this machine are scrambled and there must be a backdoor reset, so I call HP. I know the HP customer service representative was doing his job and I apologize for my french but after a ten minute call in which the customer service agent has me repeat all the steps Ive been through from their customer service website, and also after asking this person point blank what the best type of paper to use is, with no response, and then being told Im basically SOL unless I want to purchase an extended warranty, I get pretty frustrated. I realize $65 isnt the end of the world, but I havent even used $10 worth of printer paper in this printer. Ive probably printed more test pages than anything. Now I have a $200 brick on my desk, and Im back to where I was a year ago. I do have another printer. It probably cost me $30 and its as basic as it gets. Ive had it at least 5 years, and yes, its an HP product. I just thought it would be nice to live in 2013 and have a home wireless network in which I could print from all my devices. What happened HP? Your stock has tanked and you dont know where you are going? I really thought you were going to make some great products. I would not recommend this product.

Ridiculous!

AMAZON IS THE BEST BUY! The store named Best Buy claims to have a 30 return policy. I bought an HP printer from the so-called Best Buy store and I soon ran out of ink. I also had a terrible time with the HP printer. The HP printer had very little ink, it took forever too get the printer to start, it made a lot of noise when compared to other Brand named printers, it took a long time to print let alone shut down and it printed a test page that used up a great amount of INK without me directing it to. The HP printer also has very little INK that comes with the HP printer and when I purchased extra regular INK cartridges I ran out very soon. I found this out with HP printers; very little INK. If you buy a regular HP ink cartridge you are buying what I call a sample HP INK cartridge since it runs out of ink quickly. If you think about it the HP cartridges that show 2.5 times more INK are the same size as the regular cartridges. You then have to ask, how much ink do they really put in the regular OVER priced HP INK cartridges? I considered myself cheated when I bought the regular sized cartridge. My personal opinion is that the HP 2.5 times more INK cartridges run out after printing only about 50% more than the regular overpriced HP INK cartridges while you end up paying a lot more. The only good thing about my experience with the Best Buy store is that I was able to try out the HP INK supply and the printers performance! I could suggest doing the same but I wont. I will state that I wasnt shy returning the HP printer to the Best Buy store because I was not afraid of this chain store and I was not satisfied with the performance of the HP Printer. Best Buy says you have 30 days to return the HP Printer you should have 30 days but this is a misnomer! I tried the HP printer I bought from the Best Buy store and I didnt like its performance. The Best Buy store states that you can return it within 30 days for a full refund if you dont like its performance. I took the Best Buy store for their word and I returned the HP printer to the Best Buy store after 25 days of use. The Best Buy store would not take the return without me signing a statement stating that I would not return anything I buy until after a 90-day period from the time I returned the HP Printer. I should have told them to F off and accept my return without signing their statement. The Best Buy store also wants a photo ID from everyone when they return something. If the item is being charged back to your credit card then you should not have too give them any ID! This amounts too invasion of privacy (Big Brother). AMAZON IS THE BEST BUY! AMAZON DOES NOT ASK FOR A PHOTO ID! My opinion is that the Best Buy store is not the BEST BUY! I believe Amazon is the BEST BUY! MY OPINION IS THAT Amazon does have the BEST BUY. Amazon is not like the so-called Best Buy store. It is my opinion that Amazon ALWAYS gives you the BEST BUY. I will stay committed to Amazon and quit buying from the so-called Best Buy store. Amazon has fantastic delivery, great service, in most states no tax, in most cases free shipping, extended warranties are available and Amazon will take care of any problems immediately, unlike the so-called Best Buy store!

Excellent team, excellent work, very useful. Since I bought it has not failed and the quality is very good. The only downside is the size as much space on your desktop.

I had an Epson printer before this that printed better quality photos, but it ate through ink like crazy and the print quality worsened dramatically over time. I have owned this machine for about a year. I dont think it would print high enough quality photos from it that you would frame them and hang them, but how often do you really do that? Our family, not too often. What this printer does do however is, so far, print pretty reliably regular household printing. It has a number of pretty good features: Its quiet; you can print from your iPhone and iPad (nice); its simple as pie to set up on your home wifi; as an HP, pretty sure everything out there has a driver for it; and, its easy enough to scan. Over all, its a very solid printer. Further, I have the brown color and its pretty good looking. Why is it all of our electronics gray and black anyhow? The brown looks pretty good in the home office. I also dont think the ink bill is too bad, an opinion I have not always had of HP. Just buy the XL size and the genuine ink. I bought the refurbished ones to try to save money, the printer recognized it, complained on refused to print with them- seriously! Anyhow, that was a waste, but I like the machine enough to forgive it. (HP Envy 100 e All-in-One Printer)

Printer looks great and does everything as advertised. Connecting wirelessly was a cinch. On regular paper colors are not vibrant. For its size it is a dynamo.

Eats ink up very fast but love the look and functionality of the printer. Wish ink went further!

If you want to use this printer with Windows 8 try this: Go to HPs website,find the Customer Support page, type in the model, in my case the Envy 110e D411a. Then click on the driver tab, which will take you to Drivers and Downloads page. You will have two choices FULL SUITE or BASIC driver which provides support for windows 8. I tried to use HPs CD (Version 24,2.0) software but the set up application wound not work. Got an error regarding the operating system, and needing to upgrade?. I chose the BASIC driver option. Downloaded to my Envy dv6 notebook and it worked like a charm. I bypassed configuring for a wireless connection, I was anxious to find out if the machine simply worked, and used the USB option. I made a test copy print of a screenshot that was saved in File Explorer Libraries. Worked! The printout looked fine. I am no techie and that was the first print I have ever done. Never had a printer before this Envy 110e which I got used from a neighbor who is always buying newer stuff. She had it for less tan a year. I asked her why she bought another printer, also HP, and she said something about the way this printer uses ink cartridges. I guess she wanted and got something wherein the ink costs less or is easier to replace. Other than wanting another printer that loaded ink differently, she said she had no issues with the printer. I know this is vague but I really didnt quite understand her reason. I am leaving five stars for HPs driver support and the ease of set up for this machine. I have had less than 24 hours of experience with the printer. I will update if I run into some serious issues. I intend to use this printer for an occasional copy of troubleshooting steps for my notebook or, ahem, printer. Sorry to the folks who have had problems with their printer. On an additional note: You can also find HPs PRINT and SCAN DOCTOR tool on the Drivers and Downloads page for the Envy 110e for which an icon will appear in your Start Menu if you are using Win 8.

I bought this for my RV. Easy to print with iphone and ipads using HP the free eprint app. No extra wires is just the trick for my RV. I keep my printer at home till we travel and while there I can attach most anything to my printer email address and print it from anywhere. To set this up with an email address you must follow the on screen prompts on the printer itself and then go to the HP website to register and create your personalized eprint email address. Works well.

had to replace the NEW cartridges delivered with the printer after printing not more than 20 pages, black one failed first
