Very good choice for occasional printing, scanning, copying

I was looking for an inexpensive "cloud-ready" Printer and decisive me to buy the HP DJ 3050A. First, I have so far always had good experiences with HP printers and secondly, the device is really a bargain. The 3050A can be used as all-in-one device not only print but also scan (and, consequently, copying). Thus, the printer has all the basic features that I need in my home office. In addition, Google Cloud Print, the Deskjet 3050A also online at HP ePrintCenter, be registered. The printer then receives an e-mail address to which you can send from a tablet or smartphone from print jobs to the printer, for example.

The device incl. Function test of the printer took about 30 minutes. I think HP leads its customers very well by the "hurdles" installation. With a bit of peace and concentration and a non-technical person can take the device successfully. To configure the wireless connection, I chose the option to temporarily connect the printer via USB cable to a computer and then transfer the Wireles configuration. That worked great. (In order to use the printer, the wireless operation is however not a must. Also the registration of the device in the HP ePrintCenter, Google Cloud Print and Co. is optional. If you anyway have only one computer, you can also share the printer via USB cable drive.)

The perfectly sufficient for me print quality corresponds to the price range of the device. Same applies to the processing. The device is not very robust. This does not mean that the printer inevitably after a short time breaks. You just have to exert strong force. Of course, this printer is similar even for mass prints suitable. I think the unit would give up relatively quickly in continuous use as a departmental printer spirit. For home or home office, it is a perfect choice.
