Beautiful Design – Limited Capabilities – BEWARE,
After 4 years, my photosmart 4200 decided it no longer wanted to accept its cartridges, I decided to simply buy a new printer.
The envy simply stands apart from most printers as it simply feels more solidly well built, it’s much heavier than most but probably more than it needs to be – the thing IS heavy, perhaps that’s why it’s ultra quiet when printing.
The set up is easy if you plan to use a cable. If you plan to use it wirelessly – beware, the set up may be a bit more cumbersome. My windows computer could not recognize/discover the printer’s IP address, it took me an hour with tech support to successfully set up.
THE REASON I TOOK IT BACK: If, like me, you use your printer for work related documents, beware – THIS PRINTER CANNOT PRINT ON LEGAL SIZED PAPER. Like Apple, HP has sacrificed the practical for the aesthetic. I understand what the designers wanted to do, by hiding the tray and paper under the machine, hence making it a wonderful looking living room accessory but – they could have built an opening on the tray, on the off chance one wanted to print legal-sized paper. Also, for a printer at this price point, having just two cartridge slots: black & color, will almost certainly make your ink replacement budget higher.
If you want printer that is not your typical noisy, bulky, cheaply built plastic fare – this may be the one. However, if you run a home based business, or print different sized work documents from home, beware of its limitations.

|A thing of beauty !!!,
After extensive research on printers,I decided to purchase this HP Envy 114.It had the options I wanted and got great reviews from people on Amazon and from other comments elsewhere.
I have three different operating systems in my home.Mac Lion, Mac Snow Leopard and Windows 7. All three OS loaded flawlessly.All OS loaded from a single CD that came with the printer.I was able to setup the Network through my home WiFi with absolutely no difficulty at all.The software did it all.All I needed to do was follow the instructions as the disc loaded the software on all three of my computers.
You can tilt the display menu to fit your preference.You can set the printer to stay in idle mode so it’s continually ready for print from any room or computer in the home.Or even set it to a timer to shut down.The paper loads from the front bottom of the printer.The tray easily pulls out when needed to be filled.The printed page spews from the front as well.The display menu and paper extension automatically recesses back inside the printer after you grab the print.It is so much more quieter than the Cannon I owed.The speed is very good also.I have not yet tried to use my iTouch through air print or the e-print feature as of yet,but I see no reason why it wouldn’t be as flawless just the same.
Before you load the software on your computer,be sure to load the paper,ink and plug in the printer and follow the instructions from the printer’s menu first,then proceed to load the software in your computer(s)
The instruction has a web site address that offers 20 free faxes a month.So if needed, you can fax the odd time without cost to you through the web without using a phone line.
I will gladly update in perhaps about 6 months time to review the durability.
Take care.

|Great Wireless Printer!,
I already have one of these and we have used it for about 6 months and loved it so much, I just bought another. It takes up very little space and does what we need it to do. It is not a really high volume printer, so if you want one of those, this is not the right one for you. I wanted a wireless printer that I could print from for any of our devices: ipads, macbook pros, imacs, airbooks. And this does it without any problems.It does require attention to detail when setting this up, so try not to take any shortcuts. All in all, HP did this printer right!
