Pros
The printer is very neat, and hooked up to my wifi with no problems. I was very impressed with the quality of the printing - even though it is a pretty cheap printer, it prints photos on photo paper which look pretty professional (certainly good enough for a photo frame when done on glossy photo paper - which has its own seperate convenient tray. It comes with 4 month free HP Instant Ink trial - which you should definitely do, but you can extend it to 7 months free ink with the following codes. 1st enter my refer a friend code for an extra month (I get an extra month too) lJm2m and then get an extra 2 months with the code 2MONTHSDJUK . They do all work together if you do them in that order.
Having used HP Instant Ink for many months now I thought I would share my thoughts on the service. Initially I was very sceptical of a system whereby the printer automatically reorders ink for you. What I didn't realise is how it has transformed how we use the printer as a family (2 adults, and children aged 16 and 11 with lots of school projects/homework). It really does take the worry out of ink costs, as a full colour high quality page cost just the same as a draft black and white page - and with the online system it is very easy to keep track of how much we are using. I am currently on the 300 pages per month tariff of £7.99 - which works out at £96 a year. That may sound a lot but looking at my Amazon purchase history for ink with my old printer I was spending rough £60 a year on ink and using it like a miser - I was constantly astonished how quickly ink would run out even with virtually all printing being on low quality/B&W settings. Whilst we are paying more now we all can feel free to use the printer as much as we like, and I work from home a lot and also am involved in a charity which requires quite a lot of printing. Photos print fantastically as well (I have the HP ENVY Photo 6230 - which only cost c. £50 and the quality is brilliant). The cartridges come in plenty of time and it is amazing how long they last between changes - which was also a lot of hassle under the old system as even buying genuine cartridges the printer often refused to recognised the cartridges. So I am a complete convert to HP Instant Ink - so if you have just bought a printer with the free ink trial definitely use your code, then use my refer a friend code for another month free:
lJm2m
And then use 2MONTHSDJUK to get another 2 months free.
Opt for the maximum package (300 pages) on your trial - but put in your diary the end of the trial - then look back on your usage on the HP website and work out which package works best for you. The fact that unused pages carry over is also great because you find that if you have been on holiday and had a light month, you get a bigger buffer of usage going forwards.
Cons
One expects an element of product quality, resilience, good design and reliability from HP - clearly many experience great things!
however on this ocassion, the HP Envy Photo 7830 has let me down in all respects.
The colour control panel is fiddly, not very sensitive and not accurate. I have average fingers (not sausage sized digits!). Each screen interaction takes a number of attempts and 'dabs' to either hit the right icon option and or activate that option. I've had better success using a cheap rubber ended stylus.
Wireless connectivty is the biggy for me and i suspect many others too, thinking of buying similar models.
My experience of the 7830 is as poor as it gets.
1. the device is regularily in an offline state for my apple and windows devices trying to connect.
2. trying to re establish a connection is an obsolute trial - I've given up on numerous ocassions
3. The router sees and assigns an IP address, however my devices fail to see and or interact with it on the home private network.
4. the paper loading features constantly fail, with the printer reporting paper out when it isnt. Often the printer fails to retrieve a sheet from the tray, so fundamental issues exist with the grab mechanism. The photo paper tray is the worse affected of the two. With 1/5 prints actually starting and finishing a print, worse still it doesnt recognise hp paper size and formats.
Looking at numerous online forums for the behaviour of this and similar models, the connectivity issue is widely reported and the source of many if not most user complaints.
Despite having an 'ideal' wireless environment, the moment the device is not in use it enters and stays offline. Any devices therefater trying to communicate simply fail. In an attempt to remedy this, HP supports users through long protracted fixes involving the computer/mobile and the router being turned off and back on in a particular sequence, as well as the notion of corrupt drivers, but all these simply fail to address the underlying issues.
HP in my view are losing the wireless printer battle. My 3 y/o wireless Epson is a great workhorse and ive subsequently returned to it. The connection quality is good and reliable, it doesnt go offline.
It's a real shame that these issues exist, particularly when the HP ink replacement service is such a revelation. Any value and beneits of this facility are soon shadowed by the problems I and others continue to encounter.
The issues for me are compeling. For the reasons described, I've given one star, however i'll be starting a returns process using 'not fit for the purpose intended'.
