Print anytime, anywhere with HP ePrint 5 and any email enabled device

Print your documents on the go—without a PC—with HP ePrint.5 Use your email enabled device to print to the nearest web-connected printing device across the room or across town. And when you are in the office, the e-All-in-One offers apps that enable you to quickly access the internet, obtain documents, and print them faster and with less hassle—without using a PC. 4

Print from the web and mobile devices—PC free5

Create the crucial connection between your business and your documents. HP ePrint technology lets you print at your convenience using any internet-capable printing device. HP ePrint technology liberates printing from your home or office by allowing you to print content while traveling or simply out and about from your mobile phone, laptop, mobile device or any other email enabled device.

Because larger documents, presentations, and PDF files can be difficult to read on small, handheld device screens, you can print documents from your mobile device to read or take with you.

HP ePrint logo

Ease

Easily print on the go using one of two methods:
1. Download the app (ePrint) from your provider and you're ready to print. Use your mobile device to locate the printing device closest to you. Then simply send your documents to a web-connected printing device and pick up the pages.
2. Attach your document to an email message. Forward that message to a web‑connected printing device from your email-capable device and collect your printed document.

Security

For further protection, HP offers you the option to place your printer in "protected" mode. This mode lets you limit access to your web-connected printer by creating a "preferred sender" list of the email addresses of family members, friends, business associates, or others that you allow to send email to your printer. Only email messages indicating they are sent from a preferred sender will be sent to your printer.

You can place your printer in protected mode and specify who is allowed to print to your printer by visiting www.hpeprintcenter.com and registering your printer. You also have the option to disable the ePrint service at any time.

To get started with ePrint, you simply need to press the Wireless button on the front panel of your HP web-connected printer, and select the Web Services menu. From here, you can turn the ePrint service on or off, view your printer‟s email address on the front-panel display, and print an information page (some updates may be required to enable certain functionality). For more detail, please see the Setup Guide included with your printer.

Duplex

Produce professional-looking two-sided documents without standing by the e-All-in-One and handling every page. Automatically scan, copy, or fax two-sided documents. Routinely printing documents on both sides reduces your printing costs, virtually doubles the device's input capacity, and makes paperwork more manageable.

Load documents and walk away. The e-All-in-One includes a 50-sheet automatic document feeder (ADF). You can copy, scan, or fax up to legal-sized originals from the ADF, including two-sided document scanning. (Refer to the "Product walk-around" on the page to learn which options are available for this model.)

Add input capacity and replenish the paper tray less often by adding an additional 250-sheet input tray.

Change how you print with Web Connected Apps - No PC required

The e-All-in-One's easy-to-access features transform the way you use your printing device. Complete more tasks without your PC. Simply touch the screen to copy, scan, or fax documents—or select Apps to access the internet or obtain documents.3 Use the front-facing USB port or memory card slots to access saved documents or photos and print them quickly.

Touch, access, store, and print your business information in seconds

This HP web-enabled e-All-in-One includes apps that you can access from your device's touchscreen control panel.4 These apps are special print applications available exclusively to HP web-enabled printing devices.

Apps connect your device to the internet in an altogether new and seamless way. Choose from a growing library of apps that make printing faster, simpler, and more useful than ever. Access your documents and print them in one touch from your e-All-in-One. Use the apps to:
1. Keep commonly used business forms—invoices, contracts, receipts, and more—at your fingertips. Print them when you need them without a PC.
2. Store documents online—not on your PC. Easily scan and store your documents online, then access and print your documents when you need them.

This product is designed to make it easier for you to save money and conserve resources. Discover how easy it can be to conserve energy and recycle effectively by selecting Eco Tips located in the Discover section of the touchscreen.

Consume less energy

Consume up to 50 percent less energy than color laser All-in-Ones.1 Save money through reduced energy costs by using an e-All-in-One that meets U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) strict energy efficiency guidelines. Consume virtually no power during idle mode, and because the e-All-in-One employs Instant-on Technology, experience no additional time for warm up. LED technology is also cleaner, more reliable, and more energy-efficient than fluorescent tube technology.

Save resources

Easily recycle materials, save paper, and use fewer resources across the entire lifecycle of the e-All-in-One. Consume up to 50 percent less paper by printing multiple pages on a single sheet, using automatic two‑sided printing. Save even more energy and paper by scanning or faxing to a PC, network folder, or to email. PC Fax Send enables paperless sending and archiving. In managed print environments, HP Web Jetadmin cuts the cost of paper consumption. Set automatic two-sided printing for individual devices or entire fleets (for two‑sided printing capable devices) reducing the cost and volume of paper used by up to 25 percent. Reduce your impact. Printing the same number of pages, this HP Officejet Pro e-All-in-One will use up to 80 percent fewer supplies and packaging, by weight, than a similar color laser printer.1 Simplify the management and disposal of products, and recover some of their value at end of use. Through HP Planet Partners—a free, convenient return and recycling program available in more than 49 countries—you can be assured cartridges won't end up in a landfill.10 All returned Original HP print cartridges go through a multiphase recycling process where they are reduced to raw materials that are used to make new metal and plastic products.

Count on affordable printing

Original HP supplies

Ink is much more than just coloured water; the unique, hi-tech formula for HP ink is designed to work with all the mechanical parts of the print cartridge, and the printer itself, to deliver high quality results across a wide range of papers, in a variety of environmental conditions.

Why Original HP Inks?

It takes up to three years to develop new inks, so a huge amount of work goes into producing Original HP Inks, from the selection of superior ingredients to precision engineering of both the chemical formula of the ink and the high-performance ink cartridge components.

The print cartridge itself is the product of years of research and development and is much more than just an ink tank. The integrated print head on an HP cartridge includes an intelligent circuit that controls the hundreds of nozzles, each finer than a human hair, which deliver the ink onto the page. Each drop of ink is fired onto the page on the back of a tiny vapor blast of heat 7 times the intensity of the sun that lasts for just two millionths of a second; this energy blast exposes the ink drop to forces up to one million G's. Some of the latest Original HP ink cartridges can deliver in excess of 29 million drops per second.

In many of HP's home printers, over 50 percent of the printing technology is contained within the cartridge itself; which means every time you replace your Original HP Ink Cartridge you are installing a brand new print engine. Original HP Inks are developed in conjunction with HP papers to ensure maximum compatibility and performance. The result is the perfect balance of colour, permanence and reliability.

Value XL cartridges

For High Volume printing choose high capacity XL cartridges:

  • Best Value for large volumes of printing
  • More prints with fewer cartridges
  • Up to 50 percent less cost per page with XL cartridges11
Officejet Value Pack
  • Create professional-quality marketing material for less
  • Print only what you need and when you need it
  • Produce customer-specific marketing material

By bunnco
I chose this printer because I wanted it to be available to all the PCs in the house and to be tucked-away wirelessly. I also wanted to print from the blackberry so the print-to-email feature was a real selling point.

The wireless set-up worked pretty easily and, once I'd installed the software on the PC, I could communicate with the printer's web interface quickly.

But when I wanted to set-up the print via email settings and scan-to-network-folder and scan-to-email features, I kept getting a Proxy Server Not Found error.

After 30 minutes I gave up and restored to factory settings [that's easy to do via the clear touch-screen interface] and started again and it worked really easily after that. And an added bonus was that it was then able to find its own software update. How cool is that?

The duplex printing and scanning is quite slow but normal printing, scanning & copying is quick and the results are high quality.

I'd recommend this as a good printer and it has advanced features - but you need to be a competent and confident computer user to set them up.

By Jack Percival TOP 1000 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Using this printer for home use, we were simply looking for something that was wireless enabled, combined printer/copier/scanner and was able to print quickly for a long period without having to replace the cartridges but we got a lot more than that. Set-up was relatively easy following the on-screen instruction on the printer to join it to the wireless network and then connecting it to our various Windows PC's and laptops. Installation on Mac OSX required a download from the internet while our Ubuntu laptop downloaded and installed the drivers automatically in what was the easiest install of the lot.

Once the printer was set up you have the option of enabling the web features, something that I would strongly recommend. This gives you the option to manage the printer externally from anywhere in the world (in addition to the internal site it sets up for network users) to install apps, communicate with mobile devices and even set up a "printer email address" to which you can send anything you want printed, to come home and find it already ready and waiting for you. The apps would probably have more use in a business environment or with kids as them seem to vary from the colouring in sheets, through to news and some of the more useful ones including direct printing of Google Docs items or common forms to print directly from the screen.

The only complaints I have about the printer are the size, noise and vibration of the machine while printing. If you haven't got a large space to put this, don't even consider it as compared to most family inkjets this thing is huge. The vibration and noise of the item while printing whilst not a problem now I have it on a more secure table in another room (the advantage of the included wireless) could be a problem if your sitting next to it printing all day. An all round solid printer.

excellent printer 6 May 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase
I thought I'd take the time to write this review to say that we are over the moon pleased with it.
I contacted HP to figure out the difference between the Plus and the "non-plus" model.
The Plus has full duplex document feeder (copy/scan) as the "non-plus" has
full duplex Print only. (ie the "plus" can copy 2 sided to 2 sided) Also the plus as twice the ram and
bigger screen. The Plus also has a slightly larger scanner surface.
We've had this printer for 4-5 months now and we're just happier and happier with it- as time flies..
Dirt cheap to run too (compared to the colour lasers we used to have...)

You can find better printers if you are a home user wanting to print your digital photos
but represents a package difficult to match for SOHO users. Highly recommended.

I had a lower spec model of this years ago; software for it was a nightmare. When it broke, it went for an Epson which was okay, cheap ink but dreadfully slow. Read more
