The ink seems to get used fairly quickly, and is quite expensive to replace, but that is true with most modern printers. I also have problems monitoring the ink levels via the included software, it always returns an error message when I attempt it.


I still occasionally have problems when trying to scan documents, but restarting the printer and/or my computer solves these issues so I am not certain of the exact cause. Since my router is now located next to the printer, I have switched to a wired ethernet connection and that has solved most problems. The printer does not seem to hold a static IP when using it wirelessly for some reason. Setup was fairly easy, though I have had some issues with the printer losing its IP address. There is no need to physically remove and then replace with alternate paper, a true improvement over my old printers. The 7410 has two separate paper trays, so I can keep photo paper in one and lower quality paper for documents in the other, and choose which to use at the time of printing. As a document printer, I find it fast enough at 30ppm to handle my needs. You can also access the memory cards via your Local Area Network from any computer. Having multiple types of memory card input slots easily allows the user to print directly from a digital media source. I use it often with good quality photo paper to print large pictures of my Grandkids. The 7410 competes admirably with those other choices. I have owned several photo printers and have used kiosks to print digital photos. In addition to faxing and scanning, it is also a copier, and it performs well as such. As a flat bed scanner, it performs just as well as any I have used. Scan quality is excellent and the ability to load multiple documents into the document feeder to scan directly into a single PDF file is a much improved method over my previous flatbed scanner. Scanning is also easy, using the HP software. The ability to fax documents directly from my laptop is a step up from my old fax machine. I have been very happy with the fax machine aspect of this all-in-one, there is not much that can be said other than faxing documents is easy and straight forward. As an added bonus, I was able to also dispose of my scanner because the 7410 has excellent scanning capabilities.

The HP OfficeJet 7410 All-In-One printer was purchased to take the place of my fax machine, and to allow me to retire my print server because it has built in wireless printing.
