HP Deskjet 2630 All-in-One Printer, Instant Ink with 2 Months Trial

What a great little Printer/scanner/copier for the office and the 3 month free instant ink becomes 5 months when you use the codes gGFLP and FREEINK. For the price this Printer is cheaper than a set of Cartridges on my old Noisy Canon. Its easy to set up, just plug in and set up the printer, install ink cartridges, download the software from HP then initially plug in the USB cable so it recognises the Printer via the PC. Its all seamless and tells you its found the printer and then at the end you can download the software and drivers with ether basic or full options. Once you have the printer recognised on the Network then all other PCs Laptops etc will recognise it without a USB cable as long as you download the software, There is a useful HP App for Apple or Android and that just recognises it as well. The Printer is fairly quiet and very compact, Nice colour accent as well, Its typical plastic but for the price its all reasonable quality and works well. This is the 2nd HP printer we have with the Free Ink and for the initial period its worth maxing out the pages a month as its easy to change anytime to lesser and on our home one I reduced it after the free trial to 100 pages a month. The HP instant ink website gives you all the details right down to daily usage and even produces VAT invoices. Just bear in mind that if you cancel the Instant Ink later on the the cartridges they have sent you will not work and you will need to buy normal ones. The delivery is fast and efficient and they send you a set soon after you register so you have a spare set in the drawer and wont suddenly run out! I am quite an HP fan with their desktops in the office as well and another printer that lasted over 10 year! They are always reliable and well priced. The ink method might not suit everyone if you are a sporadic occasional printer but for most its great and for Photo enthusiasts or students its so cheap to print as you have the ability to print hundreds of A4 Colour Pages or photos every month for nothing for 5 months - The system is purely priced per sheet regardless of ink use so even when paying its only 2.7p per print. Hope that helps in a decision :-) I have has some poor experiences over the years with non brand cartridges and this avoids that risk.

I just got this printer, and it’s been awesome! It does it all—prints, scans, and copies—so it’s perfect for my home office. Setting it up was a breeze; I had it going in no time. The print quality is great—documents are nice and clear, and the colors pop in photos. I love the wireless printing feature too; I can send stuff straight from my phone without any fuss.The Instant Ink program is definitely a game changer. It keeps track of my ink levels and sends me new cartridges when I'm running low, so I don’t even have to think about it. It’s made everything super convenient!Overall, the HP Deskjet 2630 is a solid pick. It’s easy to use and super reliable, making it a great choice for work or home. Definitely a smart buy!

Now it's set up, it's a great little printer. Small and light to handle, the wifi works well.... cracking for the price. However the setting up of it was a nightmare. I went straight for the wifi set up, arguably I should have just plugged it in but I didn't, and just couldn't work it out. The instructions are non-existent and I eventually used the user guide download on here! It really should come with better instructions. A step by step guide would be really useful.It eventually worked, but I can't really say what steps to take for anyone else, it's just a matter of trying everything you see in the instructions. Annoyingly, following the (rubbish) instructions I set up the instant ink too soon, I should have done that after testing it all, now my test pages have come off the free 15 prints.I have the app set up on both Mac and Windows 10. The Win 10 laptop says the printer is offline even though it isn't, and the app on the MacBook knows it's online, but it still prints so I'll have to live with that.Printing photos direct from an iphone is brilliant, I truly love that. Make sure you use the HP app though because the functionality available is excellent.I don't like that you have to go over and press a button to wake it up to print, this is a pain when the printer is in another room.The instant ink service at the moment seems great. I rarely print anything in my home office so I'm sure the free option will be enough. Happy to upgrade to the £1.99 a month option too - it seems to be great value.TOP TIP - if you're going for the free option, you won't be able to use the codes for the free months. Once you join instant ink, you can upgrade or downgrade to the different paid for levels, but the free option is only available at the onset. You cannot downgrade to free once you've joined as a paid for - unless you, like so many others do, spam these comments with the code for more free months.
