Review: Great all-in-one machine at an economical price - I
wasn't expecting a lot from the OfficeJet Pro 9125e. I've had
several other home printers in the past, including a laser
printer (great because it uses dry toner which doesn't have the
issues an inkjet printer typically has, but is only able to print
black and white). I've had several inkjet printers, but they all
end up having clogged print heads or something that renders them
useless after a short amount of time. I thought I'd give this a
try, as it could replace my other printers. It's meant for a
small office, as it has pretty high duty cycles. I don't print a
lot; usually recipes, legal documents, and coupons. I may start
printing some newsletters for an organization I'm in, so this may
work out well. It can print borderless pages, which would make
some nice newsletters! Setting up the printer was fairly
straight-forward. The printer was packaged nicely, in a bag with
a handle that allows you to pull it from the box easily. The
included quick-start guide tells you to plug it in, turn it on,
select a language and country, and then go to a URL to set the
printer up on your computer or phone wirelessly. The first step
is to open the paper tray and load the paper. Adjusting the paper
tray for letter-sized paper was a bit confusing, as there are
little tabs you have to press to adjust the size of the paper
tray. It wouldn't shrink down to the size of the paper, so I just
pushed the paper all the way to the back and pushed the tray in.
The printer then said it was checking the paper, and said it was
successfully loaded. Installing the ink went fine. Then it wants
to print an alignment page. Once printed, you put it on the
scanner bed, and it scans. That went fine as well. Finally,
install HP Smart Printing on the computer and scan for new
printers. It didn't find it on the first try, but did on the
second. Connecting was quick and easy. It even got the wifi
password from the computer. Once connected it automatically
updated the firmware. I didn't realize it, so I tried printing
something and couldn't. Then the printer chimed and said the
firmware was updated. Print quality is fantastic, as is the speed
of printing. I enrolled in the HP+ and Instant Ink trial. I got
an email saying my new ink cartridges were being shipped, even
though I don't need them yet. I'll probably cancel the Instant
Ink after the trial, as I don't print a lot, but it may be
worthwhile for people/offices that do. Time will tell if the
print heads last. Hopefully!
Review: UPDATE: The set-up was horrendous, but operating is
virtually impossible. - Remember the days of plug and play? Well
they are over if you purchase this printer. It is a direct line
into your wallet if you want to do anything. You must pay to have
wireless printing. You must pay per page if you use too much ink.
You can ONLY use HP ink; so even if you want to take the risk you
cannot. Every feature is a problem to enable. I've yet to find a
solution to having faxes go to a file and NOT print. (I think
that is a feature only available for more MONEY). This printer is
noisier than the old dot matrix printers. The scan quality is
significantly lacking (only 300dpi). Paper handling works
occasionally - and stuck pages are easily destroyed and
challenging at best to retrieve. The touch screen is so small you
might need a child to make selections (otherwise you will find
yourself trying multiple times to get what you intended). And if
you just want to USB it to your desktop you are in big trouble.
HP Big Brother NEEDS to be connected to this printer for almost
any function to work. Seamless is a word that HP has removed from
its vocabulary (as is plug-and-play, simple, cost effective, user
friendly, customer oriented, etc.) HP should be embarassed by the
greed it is displaying. A company that was once built on pride
and quality had deteriorated to selling big-brother controlled
junk. What I would give for my old HP OfficeJet Pros. They were
hard working, reliable, high quality, and feature rich. Simple to
set up, seamless integration, and handled most tasks with ease.
In both cases, they were replaced because the paper handling
deteriorated over time. Not an easy fix. SIMPLY DO NOT WASTE YOUR
TIME OR RESOURCES ON THIS. ***ORIGINAL POST*** I've owned over 10
HP printers over the years and this is the first time I have ever
had any challenge trying to set it up. This wouldn't even print
or do anything until I jumped through hoops setting up an HP
account, forced to promise never to use ink other than genuine
HP, and having to log in just to scan a page. HP should be
embarrassed making a product so insanely challenging to use out
of the box. It's not like they don't charge a fortune for ink
which I have always bought thinking it will be the best in the
long run. What a terrible way to lose the confidence of a very,
very long time loyal customer. My last HP printer. Goodbye.
