So helpful! I bought mine two months ago and have regretted it ever since. I'm 65 years old and not tech savvy so I miss the push button panel of my old Epson. You are so right. The color prints are horrible. I would return it if I could to get something that's better suited for older people like me. I bought it at Best Buy and it's outside the return window unfortunately. but I never really understood how it worked until today so thank you. I won't throw it in the trash yet. 😉

Trying to set up the 6055 with a Chromebook is a royal pain in the ass. You download the HP Smart app on your phone and when you go to the menu to find the HP 6000 series, you get a big surprise. IT'S NOT THERE. The 6200 series is there. Whatever happened to plug and play? If I can't get this printer to print on the Chromebook, both are going back to Best Buy and they can sell them as open box items. I'm done with this combo. I'll haul my 24" monitor, my desktop and my bulky HP all in one printer out of storage. At least I know they like each other. UPDATE: Bought an Epson Workforce 3820 and it works with the Chromebook without having to go thru WiFi. Maybe those eggheads at HP need to stop screwing around with features that have worked for decades. I really loved the pretty colored lights and the touch pad that you could see what function you were selecting.

Very informational but one incorrect piece of info: If you quit the Instant Ink Plan, you can NOT use your left over cartridges until you join it again. Once you are off the plan, you have to use cartridges you buy directly from a retail store. Read this carefully because it indicates it's cheaper to stay on the plan even if you don't print a high volume.

@sciencemansandera Жыл бұрын

I don’t know if I like the idea of having a printer without buttons depending on the phone. HP used to make a basic printer that was like this with the buttons. I think it was an F280 or something like that. My parents had one it was slow, but it was the greatest printer it always worked and I don’t think it cost that much probably 60 bucks and it was a scanner since they come and put these new printers with chips on the cartridges and all that stuff. I haven’t gotten any of them to work any good back in the day I could refill my Epson Kohler, 800 for seven. Cents, with a 4 ounce bottle of the ink and print hundreds of thousands of copies perfectly no it seems like all these new windows and everything I never get anything done. Anybody else have this problem I would love to hear from you.😮😮😮

What's the document feeder option for? I probably could do without one since I wouldn't feed 20 pages at once to be copied or scanned.

Thanks for another cool review. I rarely print anything once or twice a month, so not paying for the cleaning ink would be a nice change. Then again, they may not be happy if I don't print enough to make it worth their while. (Some company, later bought out by Xerox, had a resin printer with a program like that.)

Are there absolutely no physical buttons and indicators and absolutely everything have to be done or checked via the mobile app? I imagine having to pull out my phone every time my printer screams an error would be slow and cumbersome. But still, this wouldn't suit my needs. This but with ink tank and the drawer paper storage switched for something else like upright feeding tray would make this buyable for me.

Hey Lon, one thing I have a problem with on printers I've owned (including my current Brother) is, not the copy/print speed, its the amount of time after every "job" that the printer needs to recycle/reset itself to be ready for the next job. So, for example, I need to make one copy each of ten pages in a book. I open the scanner, place the book, press start, it takes say 15 seconds to copy/print. But then it takes 30+ seconds to get ready for me to press start again for the next page. I don't know what to call that specification.
