HP OfficeJet 8015e Wireless Color All-in-One Print

Wiggley Odd Printing When Printing Envelopes
Overall, I would say this printer is a solid one for its price.The paper tray takes some getting used to. (Push the buttons on both sides of the top of the computer’s paper tray, and pull that off first. Then pull the paper tray out. Install the paper. Push the paper tray back in. To put the top of the tray back on, push the buttons, and slide it back on.)HP’s instructions on how to install ink is missing one piece of the puzzle: there is a “button” on the left-hand side of the lid that needs to be pushed to open the cover to get to the ink cartridges area. (DO NOT FORCE OPEN THE LID, OR YOU WILL BREAK IT.) I would suggest using the eraser end of a pencil or a pen that has not been pushed open for writing (hope that make sense) to push down on the button. Push down and open the lid. Otherwise, you are going to have to push really hard with your finger.But, the one thing that was very frustrating for me was printing envelopes within Word. For example, I use #10 envelopes (generally referred to as business envelopes). I have used the mailing/envelopes feature within Word for many many years, and so I know what I am doing. Nevertheless, the print on the envelopes kept coming out with hashy-wiggley odd printing. A postal carrier could never read it.After getting nowhere with HP Support, I decided to launch the HP Smart application that comes with the printer and resides on the computer. I did so and just had a look around. I noticed that the automatic hardware updates was not turned on. I turned it on, and began to test again.Long story short, the printing of envelopes from Word was successful. If you have a similar problem, you might want to try this. However, after you have turned on the automatic hardware updates, wait for a few minutes (let’s say five minutes). Next, turn your printer off and then turn your computer off. Wait for 30 seconds. Turn your PRINTER on, then, after waiting a minute for the printer to be fully up and running, turn on your computer.This process helped me. If you experience the above, I hope this helps you as well.Again, I find the printer to be overall fine in printing letters, scanning documents, and printing photos. People have mentioned something about it making clicking noises when not in use. I have no idea what they are talking about. My HP OfficeJet 8015e printer is very quiet. And, though it does not have the paper capacity of my much older and much bigger printer, I find that the amount of paper that I can put into the printer at a time is sufficient…and, most important, as I have grown older, the printer is not heavy.I hope this review helps you.

Here’s my long story as short as possible. I had a 4200-ish series HP Envy. Printed faithfully for 10 years, moderate use, mostly b&w documents. When I decided to replace my Envy, I wanted something that would print sharp, colorful images on heavier paper & card stock (I now do a lot of art, collage, scrapbooking & paper craft). I’m very happy with the quality of the images printed, the color is accurate, copies are produced quickly- printed from Google Drive & Drop Box on my iPhone, iPad, Chromebook- super sharp & bright! Just loooove it!! Set up was a breeze, less than 5 mins flat, didn’t have any of the issues other reviewers complained of. I can Air Print, directly from Drop Box, Google Drive, Google Photos, iPhoto etc or I use the HP Plus app which is really handy. It allows you to search files & images, alter the image size, freestyle crop, add 20+ filters & generally make changes similar to most photography apps. You can keep track of the # of pages printed, check ink levels, order ink (but Instant Ink basically does that for you), track ink deliveries, use the remote printing option, the quiet print setting & various shortcuts. I’ve been an Instant Ink member for 10 years. For me, it’s always been a super convenient service that is well priced. I was never harassed or bugged or pressured into signing up or upgrading to more expensive options as other reviewers have stated. I haven’t had a single memorable issue in TEN years. That says alot right? When I set up the new printer, HP instantly applied the 6 free months of ink & extra 700 monthly pages. I’ll be honest, I thought there would be small print somewhere saying ‘you have to be a new customer’ to receive this promotion but they were generous, so I further respect HP.I pay 5$ a month & get 200 pages plus rollovers and all the ink I can use. The only downside is that when the ink levels are low & the printer orders me new ink cartridges, they are shipped from Arizona. I’m in Alberta Canada. HP said shipping takes approx 15-20 business days. So you could potentially be without ink for a period of time. I casually called HP to bring this up, just to see what they said. They agreed with my point of view, immediately sent out a second set of cartridges so that I’ll have a carry over set of ink between the next refill. Just in case :)I feel good about the quality for the price, good customer service, the HP OfficeJet printer itself is fantastic.. I probably looked at every HP printer listed & found this to be the best rated, best priced, best promotion/ free product offer, best extended warranty and has the best partner app. I was really hesitant to initially purchase due to the multitude of poor reviews. But the list of issues others mentioned? I didn’t experience any of them. None. As I said, I can’t think of any negative occurrence in 10 yrs. I waited until Prime Day 2023 to purchase & got a FANTASTIC deal. It’s been an issue free purchase. 10/10!(All photos are of clip art I printed on this printer, on various weights of paper & cardstock. Zero issues 🙂

The software from HP is so easy to set up and use. They keep track of the pages used. ink replacement and have a very affordable monthly fee. The HP smart app makes its use a breeze. The quality of printing and the machine itself are exceptional.
