   No Mo Laser
   Why in the world is the choice of ONLY A PRINTER so diminished? These days the vast majority of printers on the market are ALL IN ONE. I get that marketing statistics must have determined along the way that ‘2 Birds with 1 Stone’ makes for better bird hunting and printing I can only imagine. Also, I was always a LASER PRINTING kind of guy. I absolutely adored my OKIDATA laser printer. That was until OKIDATA got so smart that replacement print cartridges got not so smart enough for the OKIDATA laser printer to actually recognize OFFICIAL OKIDATA PRINT CARTRIDGES @ $300+ for the set costing me $1,000’s on otherwise perfectly good (for nothing) actual Okidata parts. OK that was a rant, but that is why I bought this HP printer. So far I love it. My office manager has an earlier version of it which has been reliable. That is why I ponied up for this bad boy. We will know if/when HP has sneaked in ‘planned obsolescence’ which is always a killer. But, that is why guys like me write reviews. Yes?

   Works well, a little noisy
   I was looking for a wireless, front loading/exit printer that is just a printer. Not many choices out there. I don’t do a lot of printing so I was not paying attention to ink usage. The quality seems to be on par with my previous printers and it was easy to setup and use. Haven’t had it long so I can’t speak to that but my other HPs have held up well. When it is doing something other than printing (not sure what) it is a bit noisy. Not frequent so not a problem, just an observation.

   I LOVE my printer!
   I really do love this printer and am enjoying using it. HOWEVER–it is the 2nd one I tried. The first one I had to return to AMAZON. Nothing worked right on it! Maybe it was an older unit; I don’t know. But with this one, though setup (completed by my husband who is our computer expert) took a while, now that that’s done, the features that I have used are working fine. I did notice on a color print there was some streaking but I don’t often print in color so am not sure if this will be a problem going forward. Also note that I am using it wired, not wireless. I am not signing up for Insta Ink at this point. I’ll probably buy new cartridges when I’m running low. You can see ink levels very easily.

   paper tray does not work for 8.5 x 11 paper. Also, setup is awkward.
   I connected it with an ethernet cable. Awkward set up, when I entered the IP address in the browser it wanted me to access the printer with a logon/password. No instructions were provided that provided the default login/password.Next attempt: I found a couple of HP printer utilities on the internet. Unclear which one is to be preferred. I did get it to print out test pages. Quality was ok.There are many choices for describing the paper you put in the tray. The tray design seems to be ok for every size except 8.5×11. There is no tab that “backstops” the paper in the tray. After printing a couple of pages, the paper jams.I returned the printer.

   What I need
   I need a simple printer, nothing complex. This works for me.

   A capable office printer
   Update – 1/24/17 -After using this printer for a couple of months, I’m dropping it from five stars to two. As a printer, it works well…when it’s working. Three times, I’ve had it give me a “printhead not installed” error message. It’s locked up a number of times, and this morning displayed a new indecipherable error message which I’ve uploaded. All the errors were reset after powering off (sometimes only pulling the plug worked), but WTF HP? You guys have a summer intern design this thing? If this keeps up, I’m scrapping it and going back to an Epson. That’s too bad, because when it worked, it worked really well. However, reliability is critical and this puppy doesn’t cut it.Here’s the original review:Quick Summary:The HP OfficeJet 8210 is a capable printer designed for low to moderate printing volumes. The overall feature set, including remote management, fast printing speed, excellent printed documents, along with the HP Instant Ink program point it towards office use. The lack of scanning and fax capability are significant deficits unless those capabilities are provided in other nearby machines.Business Printing:Black and White print resolution is superb. Using a magnifying glass, and on decent paper, 2-point type is readable. Normal size type – 8 point and above – is clear and sharp.My 13-page test document printed in almost exactly one minute. One of my complaints about HP print drivers is that they print the first page first, then the second page and so on. The resulting stack has the first page at the bottom and the last page at the top. There’s a check box to print the pages in reverse order, so the last page is at the bottom and the top page is on top, but it slows things down considerably. The document that took 1:00 min to originally print, took 1:19 min to print in “reverse order.”In contrast, my Epson WorkForce 845 and Canon MX922 both define normal order in a human readable form. The first page is on top and the last page is on the bottom. This is the reverse of the HP definition and if you have both on them on one network, you need to make sure the “reverse order” box is appropriately checked depending on the printer you choose…more than once I printed something and had to manually resort the output. (Incidentally, the Epson took the same amount of timetable print in either direction…1:17 minutes. The Canon took 1:33 to print my test document. Printing the pages in reverse order took longest of all – 1:49 minutes.)Bottom line—The output is crisp and completely usable for office documents. Speed is competitive, but you have to be careful about the page order.Photo Printing:The HP OfficeJet Pro 8210 is not designed to be a high quality photo printer. It works, but color stippling is very evident when compared to my Canon printers (the MX922 and iP8700). If highest quality photo printing is a requirement, look elsewhere, but if you’re willing to put up with decent, but not the best prints, this will do it. Plus, the HP instant ink program is a real bargain when you’re printing photos. More on that in the next section.High quality photo printing requires special coated paper that instantly locks in the ink droplets. HP makes two grades: Advanced and Premium Plus. Further evidence that this isn’t designed as a photo printer is in the paper selection choices in the printer driver…Premium Plus isn’t listed. The Advanced paper is less expensive and works fine.The default color balance is a little cooler than my Canon printer, but that’s adjustable if you use any photo editing software.Instant Ink:The HP Instant Ink program is a monthly subscription service that automatically sends ink whenever the printer runs low. The printer is in constant communication with the HP servers. There are three levels of the program:Low Volume – 50 pages per month @ $2.99/month. Extra pages are 15/$1.00Mid-Volume – 100 pages/month @ $6.99/month. Extra pages are 20/$1.00High Volume – 300 pages/month @ $9.99/month. Extra pages are 25/$1.00All plans allow you to roll over unused pages up to a maximum of the monthly subscription. e.g. If you’re on the 300 page/month plan, you can have a maximum of an additional 300 pages in the rollover bank. The extra page charges are imposed after you’ve used up the monthly allocation, plus whatever is in the rollover account.For business users, where the use is fairly predictable and uniform, the program is a great deal if you run close to your subscription volume. It gets progressively worse if you go substantially over or modestly under it. On the 300 page/month plan, 300 pages (that’s only 10/day) cost 3.3₵ each. Due to the overage charges, if you run 1000 pages/month, that increases to 3.8₵ per page. In the other direction, the cost per page rapidly escalates. If you only print 150 pages, but are enrolled in the 300 page/month plan, your cost per page doubles to 6.6₵/page.To prevent theft, Instant Ink cartridges are serialized and tied to the printer. An employee can’t take the cartridge home at night, print a large number of pages, and reinstall it in the morning.For home users, where usage is much less predictable, the Instant Ink program has an advantage in a different area – printing photos. Because the Instant Ink charges are based on page count, a photograph costs as much to print as a plain typed page. Since, with conventional cartridges, a 8×10” photo can use as much as a dollar in ink, this can be a huge savings. On the other hand, if you’re mostly printing a few text pages now and again you should look at purchasing the conventional XL ink cartridges. The Instant Ink program is convenient, but the cost per page for the low volume plans is high.Other Items…The printer’s internal web server allows every function of the printer to be remotely monitored and controlled. For corporate installations, access to the web page can be controlled through an administrative password. Asset tracking information can also be stored in the printer’s memory…another important feature for businessses.The default time zone was set to Casablanca, Monrovia. Unless you actually live there, you might want to change it to your own time zone. Like practically everything from your phone on down, the printer gets a reference time from an internet-based time server. It uses the time zone setting to calculate an offset from that. (If your company has one, you can also set it to use an internal time server.)The power button is really, really, really cheap. You’re basically bending a piece of plastic when you push it. It’s a low duty-cycle part, but I’m surprised that HP engineers would make something that’s so visible so cheesy…I hope that this isn’t reflective of other design tradeoffs inside the printer.Lastly, if you’re using this in your home and only have space for one printer, I strongly suggest that you look at the OfficeJet Pro 8710. It’s roughly the same price and footprint, looks like it has the same print mechanism (from the specs), but also includes scanning, copying and fax. At my house, I don’t often copy things or send a fax, but it’s nice to have a machine that can do it when I have to.

   HP Printer
   My printer arrived on schedule, was easy to set up, and works perfectly.

   Simplicity and reliability
   I’ve used other brands in the past, and keep coming back to HP for the reliability and simplicity. This printer is no except, no hiccups, no struggles, no time wasted. Installed and performing exactly as advertised.

   I liked my previous 8210 so much that when it died after 7 years’ service, I picked up another one rather than getting a multi-function or mega-tank. And setting up the new version is a lot easier then the original: It detected my WiFi signal and did all the configuing by itself. Very pleased.

    I’m impressed. I haven’t ever used an HP printer before, though I have installed many. For the most part, I found HP printers often took a long time and were very difficult to install. Not this one though. My OfficeJet Pro 8210 is connected to my home network which includes 2 laptops (Windows 10 and Windows 7) and two desktops – one with XP and my main desktop with Linux Mint. Installation was quick and flawless – about a minute to install on my wife’s Windows 7 laptop with an SSD drive and a couple of minutes on my Linux Mint desktop (also with an SSD drive) once I downloaded the latest HPLIP software and followed HP’s instructions.All work flawlessly. Good print quality.

    Wireless is very convenient. Easy to connect to network, and had no problems printing from PCs or iPhone. Print quality is decent. There have been intermittent error codes displayed, but rebooting seems to clear them up.

    I’m not sure why a printer this old is being sold new.Cons:- default date 2015 with archaic liquid crystal display- bad print quality for documents and photos- inefficient ink usage- convoluted settings/setup- constant network connectivity issues- large and bulky- glitchy interface changes dates, times, settings at random and generally appears as if the printer is being controlled by a poltergeist.Pros:- the guy at HP support who helped me was amazing. The issues never got fixed but the customer service was impeccable.Conclusion:Don’t waste your money on ten year old tech. Go buy an HP Tango printer instead. They’re slimmer, cheaper, higher quality, more efficient, easier to use, and much more reliable.
