“HP instant ink printer experience is the worst I’ve ever had with any technology — The printer prints 10% of the time. It’s not reliable at all. The app doesn’t work to print most of the time. It’s not integrated into iOS or windows well. Couldn’t process my subscription despite everything being current. Air print works sometimes - other times not. Sometimes I can print via usb. Other times not. Sometimes I don’t…” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“Stupid — This is the most useless app, 90% of the time the print button doesnt work and out of a 3 page document it will print one page” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“Can’t download app to printer because it’s saying there’s billing problems what type of sc is this — I can’t even download this printer without putting a credit card on it why” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English

“Another scammy subscription — I never would have gotten the printer if I knew it required an Instant Ink subscription. I can’t print unless I pay them monthly, have to estimate my monthly printing needs in advance, and if I cancel the subscription they remotely disable the ink cartridges I have, even if they’re full. Wasteful, scammy, designed to get as much money out of their users as they can under the guise of…” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“HP has done a great job of making their printers a hassle to use. — In an effort to try and extract as much money from us as possible, HP has made their printers a bigger hassle to use. If you don't subscribe to their ink plan, you can lose the use of your printer. This app stinks too. Instead of connecting directly to the printer, you have to go through this app which doesn't work half the time. Will not be buying…” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“Unethical and deceptive — I loved and only bought hp products for my office until recently I was offered insta ink with the purchase of my new printer however after I decided to cancel the subscription my printer is now a useless block even after purchasing my own ink HP put a block on my printer so I’m unable to use a brand new printer customer service acts like they don’t know what’s going on or how to fix it I…” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English

They don’t send the paper or ink unlimited as stated.” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“HP Printer Setup — A new printer setup which should only take 30 minutes is taking hours to troubleshoot. This has been the worst experience with HP ever and my previous printer was an HP. Everything is setup but I can’t get any documents to print from my laptop or mobile. They are more worried about getting a subscription for ink. SMH.” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“Set up — HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 3301e” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English
