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

This printer was immediately recognized once I set it up on our WiFi network. A number of people have stated that the printer connection would get lost. Randomly this was happening with our iPad 2, one day it worked great and the next the printer would not show up. When you have a network you can type in a devices IP address (i.e.. 192.168.0.8) into your internet browsers URL field and manage it from there. I bookmark all my devices this way for quick access to them from my Macs. I noticed the Envy was loosing its IP address and it kept changing. The only was to get it to appear again was to restart the printer and hard reboot the iPad. After the 3 time in a couple of months I decided to solve this problem. I went ahead and assigned the Envy a static IP address and the problem has not returned. It works flawlessly now from our iPad 2, (iOS 5.1) two iPhone 4 (iOS 5.1), MacBook (10.7.4) and G4 tower (10.5.8). We have a CenturyLink DSL modem and Apple Airport Extreme. The printer prints VERY fast in b&w draft mode, 2-sided and the quality in this mode is surprisingly great!

Love this printer, the touch screen, the built in apps, eprint, efax (for free), Air Print... it does everything! Plus, it looks so sexy... I actually put right next to my LED TV on the entertainment center. If you have ever printed from this you know the first time it automatically opens and swings out the printer tray arm made you say, Awesome! or Neat-o!

Tired of buying cheap printers that jam, misfeed or constantly have wireless printing problems? Then buy this one. I have never been so happy with a printer. Effortless wireless set up and perfect printing every time.....with a scanner to boot! ANd it has a cool, non printer look to it.

Nice product design. Very poor quality printing. Unfortunately I did not hook this up for a month or two and it could no longer be returned to the seller. I should have tested this thing out the day it arrived-when I finally did the printer just would not put out anything remotely useful for home or office. Be careful out there folks!

I will be honest that my experience with this machine is extremely limited. To wit: I in fact never printed anything with it. I attempted a scan, with limited success. I was able to boot the machine up without too much difficulty, and was able to find it on the wireless network with little trouble. Shortly afterwards, it gave me a message to download updates. No problem. After it rebooted, it gave me a another update message. While initiating an attempt to download this update, the machine lost the wireless connection. After that it attempted to update forever. I was unable to find any way of fixing this doing troubleshooting on my own. I called HP support and I will say their support was rather helpful, but in about 5-10 minutes they came to the conclusion that my purchase was now a rather large paperweight, not a printer/scanner/anything truly functional. They sent me a replacement that arrived in a few days. I purchased the machine roughly 8-9 months after initial release. I found customer reviews on other websites that described similar problems with similar resolutions. I rate the machine so low as it appears that no resolution is forthcoming from the company, and I needed the machine to last as long as possible - not for the 3 years I can get covered through an extended warranty! Rather the replace the machine every so often after a failed update, I just chose to return it and get something completely different. EDIT 2/19/12 TO clarify the above: The unit I purchased died about 45min out of the box. Based on my review of other customer reviews, this appears to be the result of a defect intrinsic to all like units. I purchased the unit several months after initial release, and several months after other customers had posted regarding this issue. HPs customer service was excellent, insofar as they shipped a replacement after one of their reps had done trouble-shooting with me over the phone and declared it deceased. However, this was not adequate for my purposes as the defect appears to be present in all units, the defect (if it occurs) destroys the unit, and the only redress available several months after product release is to replace the unit under warranty. Once the warranty runs out (I had a 2 year extension) then you must purchase a completely new unit. For me, that was a deal breaker. I felt that a different solution should be available this far after release. So HP either cannot or will not correct this defect. EDIT 7/20/13 In case people are not clear on the defect I am describing, if the machine experiences any interruption while attempting to perform a software update in terms of the wireless connection or power outage, then it will remain frozen in an attempt to update whenever it is turned on and is not functional and cannot be fixed unless completely replaced.

If the printer has not been used for a while it will drop the network connection. What I mean by a while is one or two days. The solution is to unplug the router for a few seconds then restart the router. The printer will then be on the network. I have ckd various blogs and this problem is pretty consistent. I would not recommend this printer.

I bought this to have in my motor home. It is basically the size of the old VHS players. It also loads paper through the front and you would only need to remove it from a cabinet if you wanted to copy/scan a document. As it is wireless, you can print from you laptop or even from you portable device (iPhone, iPod, etc) using AirPrint or HP ePrint. You can also view and print pictures from you camera card with it. Super product with tons of apps.

the Hp envy 110 e-all-in-one (brown) didnt work. i returned the printer to the seller. my other Hp 100 worked great for 4 years.

Picked one of these printers up because I wanted a printer in my family room, where I do most of my computer work. Most of what I looked at seemed to be a few metal parts and lots of cheap plastic. When I picked up the HP Envy printer, I immediately felt the difference. Heavy and solid construction. The looks of the printer are unlike any other I have seen. It looks more like a DVD player than a printer. It fits into my living area, while other printers looked like office equipment - not what I wanted in my family room. Unboxing the unit showed that the packaging was high quality and the printer had its own bag keeping it safe from scratches. Hookup consisted of plugging in the electric cable and turning the printer on. From there, the printer guided me through the setup, including telling me when to insert the ink cartridges and how to set up the wireless connection. The only thing I needed to have was my network security password, as I have a secured Wi-fi network. Connected to the network 1st time after I keyed in the password. Installing the software on my computer was quick and easy. No surprises, but HP does load their installation with a bunch of junk you probably dont want. Just deselect anything you dont want installed. Everything works fine. Usual good quality prints and scans. The printer found some firmware updates and asked me if I wanted them installed. I did and they went in without any problem. Same for an update to the computer software for the printer. This printer uses two ink cartridges - black and a color. I like this approach as the cartridge design has the print heads in the cartridge. Change inks and you get a new print head each time. I have used several other brands of ink jet printers that have permanent print heads as part of the printer. These always tend to clog for me, over time. With the HP cartridge design used here, I have never had bad prints, or clogged print heads on the other Photo printer I have from HP. Ive also used HP inkjets at work for years and they just print - day in and day out. Some find a benefit to having separate ink cartridges for each color. Ive had two printers with this arrangement and found that I was replacing the various colors at about the same time. The extra parts just amounted to extra things that could go wrong, and added cost. The HP Envy printer has some neat features like the touch screen and the retractable paper catcher. While neat features, they seem to be likely problem areas down the road (after the mfg warranty expires), so I bought an extended warranty on the printer - giving me 4 years of coverage. Hope this printer works long term as good as it looks out of the box. HP did a great design job, integrating an office device into a home environment.

After an internet download so it would work with Mac Lion, it now functions, is compact, and has caused no additional problems yet. Previous HP printers have survived only 11 months so it is a little early to tell.
