The HP Smart Tank 5101 really is an all in one. (There’s not a bunch of buttons that you have no idea what they do.) The scanner made clear copies with an option of borderless prints. The control panel is very simple and easy to navigate.

After aligning the heads once, it printed out perfect colored and black and white pages. Actual printing was a breeze! My phone used Bluetooth to connect. Anyone with big hands will certainly have a problem with that step. You have to reach in through the front panel to install them. Putting in the printer heads was the only real trouble I had. I was able to pick up where it left off to finish the setup. The app disconnected a few times when selecting settings I preferred versus their recommended settings. Using the HP Smart app walked me through every step of the way to set it up on my Wi-Fi using my IPhone. My kids are using it for coloring pages and homework research. It is perfect for my small business when printing out labels and order sheets. The ink level indicators are located on the front for high visibility of when your ink is low. The tanks hold a lot of ink for high volume printing. Initially filling the ink tanks was easy and mess free! I put down a table protector just in case, but it was a seamless and clean process. It is sleek in design and I loved that it is made from recycled printers. Taking it out of the box I was pleased it was fairly compact without sacrificing options. The HP Smart Tank 5101 All in One Printer is an incredible value in a few ways. I was provided this printer free of charge in exchange for a review.
