A review of the Envy Photo 7830, HP's top-of-the-line all in one for those who love to print photos from their phones.
This photo-centric AIO prints good-looking documents and photos, and, with an Instant Ink subscription, at low cost. (The photos look good, too, if shy of five- and six-ink competitors.)
Good overall print; copy; scan quality; Easy to set up and use; Small and light; Instant Ink compatible; making for inexpensive photos; Support for Wi-Fi Direct; SD cards; USB drives
Two-tank ink delivery; instead of four discrete cartridges; High cost per page without Instant Ink
There was a time in which HP's Envy all-in-one printers, which were introduced in 2010, were all about style-at the expense of features and performance. The 7855 is still stylish, though in a tasteful, understated way.
Above-par photo quality; Good range of connectivity choices; 35-sheet automatic document feeder (ADF); Fax capabilities; Automatic duplexer
Ink costs on the high side if you buy individual cartridges; Slightly subpar graphics quality; Limited paper capacity pegs it for light duty or personal use

I have always had HP printers and have never had problems with them, until this one. It was very easy to set up, it even printed the test pages fine, but the next time I tried to print the paper jammed every time no matter what kind of paper I used.
Setup was remarkably easy for me on this HP 7864 Printer. I used the HP Easy Start app (which you can download from the 123.hp.com website). I first deleted all of my old HP printer software and started fresh with the new installation. Perfect wireless setup on my wifi network.
Install was a nightmare, called hp help number, they wanted to charge me $110.00 to install it, access to my computer and change some things to install...not happy allowing someone I do not know access into my computer to change things to install printer that didn't even cost $110.00..
Compact design; Easy Controls; Excellent Print Quality
instructions to install need some work.
