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

This printer is amazing! Obviously, this is not a top of the line premium printer, but I purchased it because of its low cost per page. I was not disappointed. While printing in low quality and normal, the ink cartridges last forever. My estimate puts the cost per page at about 1 penny for ink. It prints fast and it has built in two-sided printing, which is one of my favorite features. There is also a quirky "quiet mode." This is an interesting idea and I liked it because of the originality, but the functionality of this mode is lacking. It makes the printer significantly quieter, but it accomplishes by reducing print speed. It is easy to install on both Windows and Mac OS. If you are looking for a good, reliable printer that has a low cost per page, the HP OfficeJet Pro 8210 (This Printer) is a great bet. I love this product. NOTE: I have not used any of the wireless features.

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 purchased this to replace the OfficeJet Pro 8200 that I bought about 3 years ago and that I thought had gone bad. It turned out that the problem was merely a paper jam in place that you would never expect and, thus, I did not notice until I removed the cartridges and by that time I already had the 8210 in use. The installation was not flawless - the install program kept asking for a number for the printer that had to do with its wireless address and I could not find the number - However, all along I was planning on connecting it via a wired Ethernet connection and was able to do that without too much hassle. However, it was more by happenstance than by following step-by-step directions. The written instructions and the set-up program did not mention that it had to be added to the Ethernet network through Windows before running the set-up program. I have used the printed daily for about two months and have had minimal problems. On a couple of occasions it would not print and I could not delete the print job from the queue. With one exception, I was able to resolve the problem by shutting down the computer and the printer and rebooting. There was one occasion when that did not work. When checking the HP support website I located and downloaded the HP Print and Scan Doctor troubleshooting program which worked like a charm. It was great to resolve the problem without having to go through the hassle of talking to a support person. The unit prints significantly faster than the Pro 8200, which is nice but not a major advantage in my case because I am rarely in a hurry. With two exceptions, the print quality is what I would expect from an inkjet printer. There are four quality settings: General Office, Professional, Presentation, and Maximum dpi. I have two complaints regarding the quality settings. It often defaults to the Professional setting, even though I have General Office set up as the default. So if you want to be frugal with the ink (how many people do not) you need to check the quality setting in preferences every time you print. That is an aggravation. Also note that the Pro 8200 had a Draft quality setting, whereas the 8210 does not. I assume that the Draft setting is lower quality and uses less ink than the General Office setting so that is one disadvantage in comparing it to the 8200. Despite the reservations noted I think the unit rates 4 stars and could be higher if It lasts several years without major problems.

This purchase was a big mistake. It took a week to attempt at getting this installed and still didn't work. Mind you, my sister was installing it and she's an IT professional who actually teaches a class at a few online colleges. She reached out to HP and they were even confused. Whoever sold us this printer had the printer locked down to the point that we probably would have had to continue to purchase services in order to gain access. NO WAY JOSE!!! So I returned it and purchased a printer directly from HP. It was easy to install, had all three functions (printer, copier, and fax), and works GREAT!!! So this tells me it wasn't a manufacturer problem it was a seller/supplier problem. Buyer beware!!

I'm impressed. I haven't ever used an HP printer before, though I have installed many. For the most part, I found HP printers often took a long time and were very difficult to install. Not this one though. My OfficeJet Pro 8210 is connected to my home network which includes 2 laptops (Windows 10 and Windows 7) and two desktops - one with XP and my main desktop with Linux Mint. Installation was quick and flawless - about a minute to install on my wife's Windows 7 laptop with an SSD drive and a couple of minutes on my Linux Mint desktop (also with an SSD drive) once I downloaded the latest HPLIP software and followed HP's instructions. All work flawlessly. Good print quality.

I’m not sure why a printer this old is being sold new. Cons: - default date 2015 with archaic liquid crystal display - bad print quality for documents and photos - inefficient ink usage - convoluted settings/setup - constant network connectivity issues - large and bulky - glitchy interface changes dates, times, settings at random and generally appears as if the printer is being controlled by a poltergeist. Pros: - the guy at HP support who helped me was amazing. The issues never got fixed but the customer service was impeccable. Conclusion: Don’t waste your money on ten year old tech. Go buy an HP Tango printer instead. They’re slimmer, cheaper, higher quality, more efficient, easier to use, and much more reliable.

I read a lot of mixed reviews but the set up was very smooth and I’ve been using this printer for 2 months now and no issues.

Wireless is very convenient. Easy to connect to network, and had no problems printing from PCs or iPhone. Print quality is decent. There have been intermittent error codes displayed, but rebooting seems to clear them up.

I liked my previous 8210 so much that when it died after 7 years' service, I picked up another one rather than getting a multi-function or mega-tank. And setting up the new version is a lot easier then the original: It detected my WiFi signal and did all the configuing by itself. Very pleased.
