To set: unpack, remove the security tapes, open the printer, remove the transport protection there for inlaid plastic parts, connect printers to the mains switch, use ink cartridges, load paper. Follow the instructions on the printer display. The printer calibrated to print a test page, which is then placed on the scanner and thus the scanner is calibrated. Then you will be prompted to install the software.
Boot PC, insert included CD and follow the instructions. If you want to the printer only wireless, so operate wirelessly, you have to connect in the initial setting once via USB to the PC the printer anyway. Once the printer is set up, the USB cable can be removed. The problem is that the USB cable is just 1 meter long. I had only times closer to the PC the printer. One should make time in addition to the PC the printer when setting so only.
The software installation is done easily and relatively quickly. The installation steps are described very clearly and shown imaged. The software automatically retrieves the required data from the wireless router and encryption (WPA / WPA2) you have to do is enter manually. If you have activated the router's MAC address filtering, the software detects this and tells the printer's MAC address with which you then need to enter the router. Exemplary. Then can be set if required nor HP ePrint. Even the relatively quick.
The printer has detected problems in my wireless network. My iPad has the printer also immediately recognized (iOS 5, Apple AirPrint) and printing from the iPad works great.
The prints are of good quality. Even photos on photo paper are compared to my previous printer (Canon) just as well.
Conclusion: If you're looking for cheap printer for iPad, iPhone or iPod and PC, is served here well.
Who prints lot and absolutely high-class photo prints required, must look around natütlich for another printer. For bargain printer like me who documents and from time to time print a photo, the device is ideally suited.
