I bought this HP Envy 6065e printer to replace a 10 year + old HP Envy 4500 printer. At first I set the printer up with Wi-Fi using the HP smart app on my laptop and I found that the printer would lose the Wi-Fi connection at times - the printer would go "offline". Not alway easy to get it to reconnect when it does that. So then I experimented with different ways of connecting the printer to my laptop. I had a left over USB cable from my last printer (HP Envy 4500) so, ultimately, I reset the printer and set it up to connect soley to the USB via the HP smart app directly to my laptop. At one point in the set up process using the HP smart app you can choose to not set up with Wifi and press the "?" and it will offer to connect in other ways. I chose the USB option. Once I got it installed and connected it works great with the USB. It doesn't lose the connection. Then I turned off the Wifi radio with the little button on the back and I also turned off direct wifi and the low energy bluetooth via the advanced settings on the HP Smart app (can also be done from the printer pressing a combination of buttons) since I won't be needing it with it connected by USB to my laptop. I only plan on printing from my laptop so all is good like that for me. I did not sign up for HP+ or for the free ink since I am a light ink user. I do have an HP account so I logged into that so I could use the Scan feature which works fine. You could also set up the printer with Wifi and then attach USB cable and set that up but I elected to ultmately do it the way I did it - just creating a USB installation. All that aside, I think it is a very nice printer. It prints really well and is reasonably fast. It holds 100 pages of paper in a little drawer that shuts closed. The printer is very compact. The HP 67 set up ink it comes with seems to last a good while - I've read that these have less ink than the normal HP cartridges you can buy in the store but they have already printed a lot and they are still half full. I did order a two pack of HP 67 cartridge for when it does run out - a tri color and black cartridges. I like that the HP 67 ink cartridges are cheaper than the HP 61 ink cartridges my envy 4500 used. The printer uses a light bar and sounds to communicate various functions. It doesn't have a screen - just buttons, lights and sounds and after playing with a little bit and knowing what the symbols stand for it's pretty simple to understand. It's a simple printer. I'm experiementing with keeping the printer on all the time - I have it set to go into sleep mode after 5 minutes. I'm hoping this will make the ink last longer but I'll see how it goes. There is a light bar where the printed paper comes out of. This light cannot be turned off but the light can be dimmed. To do that, open the HP smart app, go to "Printer Settings" then "Advanced Settings", then press Settings and Display Settings, and then you can move the slider over to the lowest position on the left and then press "Apply". This will dim the light. Anyway, overall, a very nice and very affordable printer once I got it connected in a way that works for my usage.

I am extremely happy with our new printer. It came with new ink cartridges and very easy to follow instructions. We were able to set up our WiFi connection, done so we can print from our phones wirelessly, in a matter of minutes. The unit itself is aesthetically appealing and is relatively compact in size. The most important feature is the great quality of prints. Pictures and printed documents are clear and crisp. This is a great deal for a very reasonable price .

Honestly, this is one of the few printers that I haven’t had 100 issues with. It was really easy to setup, probably took less than 5 minutes? Even a baby could do it! The app is really user friendly and has many features but you are able to use it without the app! It does require wifi, however, that makes everything easier as you are able to print directly from your phone (for example, if you want to print something directly from a photos app on iphone). Besides the easy setup and use, it also is very characteristic. It makes lots of adorable sounds when you do different things and it has different color lights to go along. When you are printing, it honestly reminds me of a rainbow carwash (I know, very weird way to put it). It amazingly prints really well which you wouldn’t normally expect for a printer of its price range. We have another printer that’s well over 3x this printers values and honestly, they both print very similar quality which really says something. It doesn’t take up too much space and is honestly a really good printer for the average person, especially college students like myself! :)
