Not recommended for scanning!
I have to be fair - printing set up and quality is OK and generally works properly. The hardware seems OK, but the software is another issue. Scanning is a nightmare. It has rarely worked first time after switching on the machine. I get a "scanner unavailable" message. Usually the HP Printer Scanner Doctor App works to sort it out, sometimes takes two or more attempts. Sometimes I have to uninstall and reinstall to get it going. The latest disaster - after about an hour of failing with the doctor and uninstall / reinstall, I found that the scan...
Read morener had for some inexplicable reason been "disabled" by the software. You have to go in through security as an administrator to fix that problem. If you do a fair bit of scanning, don't buy one of these - totally unreliable. I've wasted hours, downloaded the latest software, which works once or twice, then back to the "scanner unavailable" message again. Very frustrating.Purchased in .

piece of crap. I hate it.
Every day I go to print, i have no idea whether it will print or not. Somedays yes, usually no. The connectivity with the computer changes every day. It will scan to my computer then then when I go to print, it says cannot connect to printer. Some days it says there is no driver. I HATE THIS PRINTER.

Does everything except print
Continually get error messages when printing. But no explanation what the error is, so cannot even begin to to resolve it or figure out what the problem is. Never know when it's gonna happen so can't trust this machine. Scanning is fine.

HP 2723 Printer - Brought to replace a ten yr old HP f4200 deskjet. The set up is a nightmare, the app is a nightmare. The scanner isn't half as good as its ten year old equivalent. I spent the best part of three months communicating with HP to try and resolve my issues. I have wasted hours and hours and hours of my time on this piece of sh!t. The Hp reply can be summarized as "oh yeah the scanner is rubbish, you shouldn't have brought that one, you can't have your money back" I have three HP printers and large plotters and have been a loyal HP fan for years, massively disappointed in this product and HP's customer service.... next action, copy this review and paste EVERYWHERE

Poor design, poor quality and the opposite of easy to use
A cheap printer made deliberately difficult and clunky to use. From the weak paper loading style to the locked in interface (you literally can't use it unless you have a Microsoft account) it's by far the worst printer I've ever used and that's including my original first ever printer back in 1996.
This is another reason why I'm turning further away from Microsoft. What should a simple easy to use budget printer is instead a complex control mechanism with zero user interface and I honestly don't have time for that.

Terrible product. Difficult to install, printer has a mind of it's own thinking it's smarter than a human
We purchased this printer as a home printer. We very rarely need to print a document, maybe once a month or less so this price bracket worked for us.
The printer is extremely difficult to install. It does not offer "plug and play" as many printers used to. It does not come with a USB cable. You need to install the HP Smart App on your pc and run the installation from there. However, it is not intuitive and the app doesn't actually do the installation. Each time you attempt to connect, the app fails and you have to use the "Install printer" set...
Read moretings on the pc. I guess the idea is that the printer is installed to a "network" but I have a hard time understanding how we access this "network" printer if it isn't installed anywhere lol. Additionally, the quality is extremely poor. Avoid.Purchased in for $50.

absolute trash
DO NOT BUY, enough said. Can not even be bothered to find my invoice etc.
Brought cheap, but almost useless.
It print one page and stops, one has to press a button to resume.
Very hard to scan anything, installed HP app and requires me to set up account to use it.
It's 2020 and I need to set up account to use that slow cloud service to scan?

Not worth it
Cheap price, but still not worth it. Sometimes it takes about an hour to connect to the computer to print one page, most times it just does not connect at all.

No longer supported by HP software, won't connect to scan, not compatible with 5G wireless
The HP Smart software does not recognise the printer on the network and will allow printing but not scanning. Requires extensive troubleshooting that is too difficult for lay people. Avoid.

Terrible waste of time and $
This printer is nothing but a waste of time and money.
The HP cartridges are tiny and register as 'empty' within a max 70 pages of printing.... if you are a uni student, this will waste every dollar you have in your bank account just on ink refills.
The printer also lies - it declared my black ink cartridge as 'empty' within three days of buying it, and started printing blank pages. I hit the information button and out prints some information from the printer in perfect black ink. It likes to tell you it is empty alot earlier than it really i...
Read mores so that you can spend more money on new cartridges, recycle your old ones back to HP while they are still somewhat full of ink. The 3rd party ink cartridges from Big W do not work on this printer as HP has installed updates and software to block any cartridge that is not their own. Lastly, every time this printer updates itself, it will chew up your ink and spit out pages and pages of disappointing notifications, wasting the little but expensive ink you have. Nothing but a massive disappointment. Kick this piece of junk across your back yard and go spend a little more money on something that is not HP.Purchased in for $49.

Worst printer ever
Does not come with software disc. Hard to find and install off internet and the scanning software is a nightmare. Not worth $1. The two ink cartridges capacity is a joke and cost more than the printer. More ccp crap.

Good little printer with difficulties.
Working out how to use this printer can be a little difficult with many frustrating information pages printed. However, once you work out what’s going on is a reliable, good quality printer.

Great for a Wireless Printer
Purchased this printer recently on sale. I was actually surprised how easy it was to set up. It's great not having a multitude of cords and now my daughter can print wirelessly from her room for her home school. It is also handy that we can print from our smart phones.
