HP Printers Simply Don't Work

Printer is only about 3 years old (OfficeJet Pro 8025e) and has almost constantly suffered from paper jams from day one, but recently these have got much worse. Ive lost count of the number of sheets of paper Ive wasted trying to print with this useless piece of junk. Smear cleaning, head alignment maintenance etc does nothing to improve it. This is probably par for the course for 'cheap' all-in-one printers nowadays but, to add insult to injury, HP have now arbitrarily decided, or Apple have - either way, it's the same result - not to provide driver software or any other support, meaning that you have to rely on AirPrint, which is far from ideal. Setting the printer up to work with WiFi was unnecessarily complicated too. Overall, if you have a Mac, and a short temper, don't buy an HP printer!

Updated to reject all my ink

They updated my printer to reject 3rd party ink even though I declined to join HP+ because it said I couldn't use third party ink if I did. Over $100 is ink now useless, just threw away two expensive HP printers and my new none HP printer just arrived. Never using HP products again.

HP Envy 6100e series.

HP Envy 6100e series.
Constant loss of connectivity. Multiple attempts to reconnect, printer is not fit for purpose. HP Smart is anything but. Steer clear of HP printers.
Any attempt at refund will be thwarted :"sorry your call is breaking up" ! A heap of hi tech junk.

HP stopped supporting my older printer and my new HP printer is a dog.

I had an older HP printer that worked but they stopped supporting. They recommended it with an HP Envy 6000 that I bought a year ago that they must have known was subpar, based on complaints that I've since seen that precede my purchase. It's already been replaced by a newer model. It regularly disconnects from the internet and is often very difficult to reconnect.

HP printers are a scam

HP printers are a scam. The subscription takes money from my account but I never actually receive my ink deliveries AND somehow they block me from using the printer/the ink is weak after a couple prints anyway. Can’t believe I fell for this, and I’m basically now the owner of an obsolete printer, after finally just ending the subscription and giving up. There’s no customer service support line to call, everything is automated and all the emails come from “donotreply” addresses without any valid contact details included.

I have purchased at least three HP…

I have purchased at least three HP printers in the last few years and they are all garbage. Never connects to the computer, always out of ink even if you only print once in a while, and just troublesome in general. Will never purchase another printer from them again.

HP Envy.

Bought a HP Envy a few years ago and have regretted the purchase ever since, luckily i dont have to print too much.

I thought spending a good chunk of cash on a printer would be a good investment, always need to print out legal documents, CVs and such.

The ink, which last i bought cost £59.99 for black and colour, seems to dry up really fast. If i dont print for a while then go to use it, the print is uneven.

The real crux of headaches however is the farce of having to use their app. Opened up the app and was immediately hit with a subscription.

If i pay good money for an electrical product, then more money on ink, i should be able to print at no extra bloody cost.

Companies like this should pay their customers subscriptions to keep them.

Horrible support system

I have used HP products for many years. Now that my HP Pro Office Het has "expired I am unable to get any help or support. Can't chat with anyone, just some stupid bot!
I'll be buying all new printers from Epson.
Pathetic!

HP all in one subscription for printer and ink

I've had this for a few weeks and it has been a nightmare. The set up was difficult and I am a smart person. The printer keeps disconnecting from the internet even though the app and website show it is online. Troubleshooting requires you to turn off the printer and the router (I work from home, major disruption). Contacting customer service is a joke, I tried to ask for a call back on the website and it said my phone number was not valid. I call the customer service number and can't understand the guy I was working with. I continually had to ask him to repeat himself. He had me restore the printer to factory settings and reinstall. During the times we were waiting for the printer to run through the process, HE WAS SNORING!!!!! I kept saying 'I'm sorry I'm keeping you awake', 'are you there?', etc to communicate with him. He'd wake up occasionally and check in. At the end I couldn't get him to wake up and the snoring was LOUD. Totally unacceptable, I used up several pieces of paper being printed out for the set up that goes against my allotted monthly prints. In the short amount of time I've had this subscription it has been a complete waste of my time and money. Will not renew this subscription or buy anything from HP in the future.

Printer is ok but complete waste of money signing up for instant ink. When cancelled you can't use remaining ink and in theory you have paid for it! No envelope sent to send cartridges back but apparently that's my fault! It will be cheaper for me to replace printer when cartridges get too expensive. Just buy any other make

I have the Smart tank 7005

I have the Smart tank 7005. It is 15 months old, and is therefore out of its 12 month warranty.

It is no longer printing correctly. The reds are orange and the Cyan doesn't print at all. After many hours of trouble shooting I rang customer support. Very polite however, no other advice available other than would I like to purchase another printer? It cost over £220 and lasted just over a year. I expected to have to pay for a repair but to be told they don't even attempt to repair is shocking.

Since I bought this printer, the internet is overrun with complaints about this machine, mostly over this printing issue. Even AI says it is renowned for not printing and the cyan is the most reported issue.

Things go wrong, of course they do, but to have no facility to repair, and I have to just throw this in the bin is not what I expected. Apart from the complete waste of my money, this is an appalling disposable attitude in 2026. This is not a small amount of plastic being thown away.

Do yourself a favour - do not buy this machine.

I shall be steering clear of HP altogether. The online information said customer service was good if you purchased direct. Repairs and discounts on replacements if not repairable. None of this is true. No repairs, and no discounts on replacements. No accountability of any description for the product failing after a few hundred copies. It still has the ink it came with!

Extremely disappointed in HP.

Ink trap

First of all, they wanted to know why I didn’t subscribe to their ink policy
Second, their printer absolutely sucks ass. They don’t connect. They don’t stay connected if they do connect and absolutely not user-friendly.

Waste of money because the system does not work

I have had my HP printer for many months but I have never been able to properly use it. Every time I attempt to use it, it won't print in colour and sometimes won't even print in black and white. I have tried following countless diagnostic solutions online (including those from supposed HP customer service employees) but nothing works. Much of the advice is unhelpful such as "identify any issues with your wifi connection" and "update the hardware" (even though there is no option to do so on the app) or select certain colour options the printer settings (which don't actually exist in the settings). I have cleaned the cartridges manually and via the printer. I have carried out several hard resets. Every time, I hit a brick wall and want to through the device out of the window before I've managed to print anything. The app is very non-user friendly because most of the buttons take you to a generic website rather than giving functional settings/tips within the app which relate to the specific printer connected to the system. I put the printer away for a few more months before I'm brave enough to attempt it again, only to find myself in the same situation with no solution that works. It was a waste of money. I will never buy an HP printer again and I think my only solution is to buy another new printer from a different manufacturer. Stay away from HP.

BUYER BEWARE of HP PRINTERS- The most simple task of changing wifi network is made to be nearly impossible on the HP 6055 Printers. When attempting to get any sort of tech help, they push a service plan costing hundreds a year. To simply change wifi networks should be a 1-2 min process. We've had 2 HP printers w/the same issue. DO YOURSELF a favor and get a Canon Printer, or anything other than HP as there is NO product support for your purchase, and their apps. don't work.

HP=HORRIBLE PRODUCT

HP should stand for HORRIBLE PRODUCT as far as dealing with their printers and customer service. I haven't had a problem with their computers though. The printers are a piece of crap and their customer service is horrible. HP needs to do better. I've purchased two printers and both do the same thing...... ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. EPSON and CANON is now tops in My household now.

The HP Tango is an awful product after owning it for 4 years. The software is prehistoric. The hardware continuously breaks - it seems the cartridges clog up and fail within weeks of being opened. Complete waste of money.
