HP DeskJet 2810e All in One Printer | Perfect for Home | Colour | Wireless | Print, Scan & Copy | 3 Months of free Instant Ink | Easy Setup & Reliable Wi-Fi | White

Got this printer to use with a very old Windows 10 laptop for crafting and printing photos from my Android phone. I confess to taking a long time getting there, but thanks to a YouTube video showing how to add a printer manually, I got there, and I'm so pleased I persevered! I can print pictures straight from my phone, and my old laptop has been given a new lease if life now that I can finally print from it wirelessly. At the moment I'm putting it through its paces to see exactly what weight of card it will take for making greeting cards, but the fact that I managed to get it attached to my laptop and phone is a real bonus which I'm enjoying. I tried for days with a Canon printer but failed miserably to get it to connect to either and had to return it, so I'm really pleased with this little printer so far. I did struggle to get the ink cartridges in place, but I'm hoping that will be easier next time around. It's also extremely light which is helpful for me and it connected to the WiFi without needing the password which was a bonus! Update: I've now tested it for printing greeting cards and it's hopeless. It will handle A4 printer paper and A4 label sheets, but it won't even take an everyday DL envelope. I managed to get it to take a thin A4 card which was surprising, but anything bought specifically for making greeting cards is hopeless - it jams. I've only printed about 6 photographs and a few coloured illustrations on paper for test purposes and the coloured ink cartridge is almost empty which is disappointing, but the photographs printed really well and are the only reason I've kept the printer so far (I figured it would cost a lot more to get something just for printing my pics than the £28 I paid for this printer!). I haven't joined HP's instant ink supply system so I'll need to buy ink cartridges any minute now. I hope I get more mileage out of them! One plus is that it was really easy to get to 'chat' with a technician for help through the HP web site and that's great for somebody like me who can struggle with new technology! I'll update this review as and when!

This was so simple to set up. Scanned the QR code with my mobile and downloaded the App. Turned phones bluetooth on and the phone connected to the printer. A few short steps later and the printer was working after inputting wifi code. Set up an account for the 3 months free ink which was simple. The ink cartridges are very small so not sure how much printing they will do. I sent something from my phone to the printer once set up and it was a quick and simple job with good quality print on the paper. For less than buying new ink cartridges you can buy a printer with ink sub £29. I now have a new printer with ink. Its a bit ridiculous that it's cheaper to buy a new printer each time I run out of ink than buy new ink. But that's the unsustainable world we live in. New original ink shouldn't cost more than £20. Maybe one for the government to sort in their sustainability drive.

I only bought it because for some reason there are still sellers on Amazon who require you to print a return label. Have a word, Amazon! I had to search for how to set it up, as drivers and instructions weren't provided, so you have to go through a lot of twaddle on HP's site trying to get you to sign up for some kind of subscription before you can get the drivers installed. As I had the scanner I decided to scan some old photos. I had some scans from a very old Epson for comparison and I was disappointed that this produced poor results with washed-out images and poor colour reproduction. Additionally, when scanning at 600 or 1200 dpi it scanned, then started scanning again when I tried to save. The second scan took so long that I was able to make a cup of coffee before it was done and I could save. Conclusion: reasonable document printer for the price but if you want decent colour photo scans, shop around. The price of this is too cheap to expect both elements to be good enough. I'm buying a separate scanner for that reason.

Excellent quickly set up and working well.

I bought the HP DeskJet 2800 series in 2024 mainly to scan and print occasional documents. Printing itself is acceptable, but almost everything else about this printer has been frustrating. The biggest issue is the scanner. The HP Smart app frequently fails to show the scanner option at all, and even when it does work there can be very long delays between pages when scanning multiple documents. What should take a minute can easily take several minutes. Quite often the scanner simply refuses to work. When that happens I may spend 5–10 minutes trying to get it going. Sometimes the only way to make it work is to unplug the printer and plug it back in, or completely close the HP Smart app and restart it. I may have to repeat this process several times. Even after doing all of that, the scan button still sometimes does not appear in the app. At that point I either try again later or just give up. From my perspective the behaviour seems completely random. Occasionally it works normally, but many times it takes several minutes of restarting things before the scanner will even appear as an option. The initial setup was also far more complicated than expected. This printer only supports 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi. My internet provider had my home network running only on 5 GHz, so the printer would not connect at all. The problem is that I had no idea the printer only supports 2.4 GHz. That is not something I would normally think about when buying or setting up a basic home printer. I spent hours trying to get through to HP support before someone finally explained that this was the issue. When I eventually reached support, they sent me a long set of technical instructions that I had to pass along to my internet provider. I then had to contact my provider (Virgin Media) and explain what HP said needed to be done. After a lot of back-and-forth they eventually split my Wi-Fi network into separate 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz signals so the printer could connect. The entire process lasted from about 9:00 in the morning until the afternoon just to get the printer working on my home network. Since then I have mostly tolerated the printer because I rarely use it. When I do need it, however, it often takes several minutes just to get the scanning feature working through the HP Smart app. To be fair, printing documents is generally fine. But if you plan to scan documents regularly, the experience with this model can be extremely frustrating. At this point I am seriously considering throwing the printer away and replacing it with a simple printer/scanner/copier that works locally without relying on cloud services and complicated apps. My impression is that this model is designed to tie everything into HP’s online ecosystem and ink subscription system. Personally, I would much prefer a straightforward device that simply works when I need it. Because of these issues I cancelled my HP Instant Ink subscription and would not buy this printer again.

I recently started using the HP DeskJet 2810e All-in-One Printer at home and it has been a really convenient and reliable printer for everyday use. The setup was surprisingly quick because the wireless connection walks you through everything step by step, and once it is connected to Wi Fi you can print directly from a phone, tablet, or laptop without dealing with cables. For basic home tasks like printing documents, scanning paperwork, or copying forms it works perfectly and the print quality is clear for both black and white and colour pages. I also like how compact the design is because it does not take up much space on a desk or shelf, which is ideal for a home setup. The included three months of Instant Ink is a nice bonus since the printer can automatically reorder ink when it starts running low, so you do not have to constantly check cartridges. Another thing I appreciate is that the controls and app are simple enough that anyone in the house can use it without struggling with complicated settings. Overall it is a practical and affordable all in one printer that covers the main things most people need at home such as printing, scanning, and copying while staying easy to set up and reliable for daily use.

The printer arrived by date as advised. It didn't have outer packaging so everyone could see what the item was which was disappointing as Amazon couriers are known for just leaving items outside without ringing the doorbell. Fortunately i was at home and heard the gate closing. I have had HP printers before and this one was no different. It was easy to set up and easy to install the ink. Good printer

Having always had fairly expensive cannon printers in the past but not real printing requirement any longer thought it would make sense to get a cheap printer and an ink subscription. To be fair its really not used at all which leads to the ink drying on the heads and the heads needing cleaning every time you print, if you do buy it dont buy the subscription particularly a low page volume one you will be wasting pages everytime you try to print as the quality is awful even after repeatedly cleaning the dried up heads. The printer itself is simple to setup and works perfectly with normal cartridges which dont last long at all out of the box. Its cheap and if you print a few pages a day its probably a good option, obviously without the HP ink subscription.
