HP OfficeJet Pro 8210 Wireless Color Printer, Instant Ink ready, Works with Alexa (D9L64A),Black

We print some pictures using this. They aren't as good as getting them professionally printed, and we don't bother with using photo paper which might make them look better, but we like using it so that we can rotate pictures in our holders often. LOVE that it can print borderless to 8.5x11. We got 8.5x11 acrylic holders, and have pictures set up in them that we can rotate at will. It's a very nice set up. and the pictures are perfectly find at about 4 feet away. If you start getting in really close, you can see that they could be a little sharper, but the colors are quite good, and just using plain copy paper.I also love that this can do two sided printing on it's own. I use this feature all the time to save paper when one sided is not needed. Works very smoothly. The only thing that would be nice is if it had a built in scanner. However, I have yet to run into the time I needed a truly high res scan of something. Scanning using my phone normally works fine for anything I need. But if I really do need a perfect scan, I will have to look elsewhere. I wasn't willing to spend extra for that feature when I found this printer at a good price.Very happy with the purchase overall.

Setup it using windows 10 and works from Linux/Xubuntu 16.04 after setup. The only issue I had was a DNS error with web connect for the e-print/Instant-ink plan. I had to go to the Local Area Network(LAN) ip-address of the printer via web browser and change the DNS.How to correct the DNS Error.On the printer click "Home" / "Network" / "Wireless" / "View Network Details" to find the LAN ip-address.Open a web browser and type the LAN ip-address of the printer in the address bar.Click the "Network tab" / "Wireless 802.11" / "IPv4 Configuration" / "Manual IP" click "Suggest a Manual IP Address"Then tick "Manual DNS Server" and change the 1st DNS to "8.8.8.8" and the 2nd to "8.8.4.4" Or to whatever DNS you want to use.Click "Apply". Turn the print off and unplug and wait 30sec. Then turn it back on.On the front of the printer press the "ePrint" icon and chose "accept" and the print the "code" to finish the setup on the HP web site.---------------------------The printer is a bit bulky but looks very nice and the prints are good quality. The printer does print in rather heavy ink. The cheap 20lb paper I had on hand was a bit too wet after printing very colorful prints and smudged easily. I bought some 24lb paper and it works better but still a bit wet. I see that this printer is going to be ink hungry.Overall I'm very happy with the printer so far. Will update if there's any problems with the HP ink plan.

I really do love this printer and am enjoying using it. HOWEVER--it is the 2nd one I tried. The first one I had to return to AMAZON. Nothing worked right on it! Maybe it was an older unit; I don't know. But with this one, though setup (completed by my husband who is our computer expert) took a while, now that that's done, the features that I have used are working fine. I did notice on a color print there was some streaking but I don't often print in color so am not sure if this will be a problem going forward. Also note that I am using it wired, not wireless. I am not signing up for Insta Ink at this point. I'll probably buy new cartridges when I'm running low. You can see ink levels very easily.

All this thing had to do was print envelopes. That's it's only purpose. I bought it because it says capacity is 30 envelopes, better than most other inkjet printers. I have a HP laserjet for scanning/printing everything else.So to start with, the driver that comes on the CD or for download doesn't work on Windows 10 Enterprise N. After installing, it would not print from Word, Excel, text files, etc. However, it would print from a web browser. I tried IE, Firefox and Chome and it successfully printed from all 3, but refused to print from any other type of file. I could watch the print job enter the queue for a moment and disappear like it printed (with no errors generated), but nothing came out of the printer.After much research, I downloaded the Universal print driver and BINGO!, everything was printing. There was 2 days of my life wasted because of a stupid print driver.So on to the envelope test... which is an epic fail.I use peel-n-seal envelopes for my business. The pick up roller bar on the printer sits right on top of the envelope flap, which is on the left side. Envelopes are loaded long ways with flap on left. Anyway, the pickup roller would touch the little bit (and I mean little, 3/32") of the "peel off" strip and then fail to get the envelope 99% of the time.On the rare occasion it did pick up, the "slipping" of the peel off strip contacting with the roller skewed the envelope anywhere from 10deg to 45deg, making it unreadable.I verified all of this by simply turning the envelopes 180deg so the flap was on the right side. It will pick up and print envelopes perfectly when oriented that way. But that means your address is printing upside down on the envelope front.How unprofessional does that look?!?My old HP 6100 never had this problem. It lasted about 3 years.I can't wait till the color cartridges dry up and I have to buy a set to make the printer work, even though I'm only printing B/W.This is absolutely the last HP product I will ever buy.
