My wireless connection comes and goes all the time. I have to keep reinstalling. Can't get any help from HP. Stinks. However, when it does work, the copies and prints are good.

After contacting customer service to find out about feeding envelopes on this model, I was told the printer does not have the capacity. I needed to manually take out the paper tray with the paper and load an envelope. Frustrated, I decided to get an additional paper tray to handle envelops and legal size paper. I did not need any of the other parts that come with this product -- just the tray.

Soft ware does not communicate efficiently to change between trays. Does not recoginize envelopes often. If using as alternate tray for legal tray is exposed to dust ect. as it does not have a cover to protect.

Ok I ordered the extra drawer and could not get it to pick between envelopes and paper nothing I did in the set up helped at all to make it totally automatic in picking between the two paper/envelope.
So I assume others have had this problem here is the FIX, Call customer service for tech support and they will get it right for you it took awhile due to them having to take command of my computer and printer. Ok they went in and changed something to make it work you need to both change things on the print setup on the pc and the printer itself in its set up on it's screen, What I do not know, Sorry. Anyway it now works very well every time, if I print mail it takes a envelope if I print a letter it takes a piece of paper so now I gave this high marks due to it being a easy fix JUST ASK FOR HELP it is so cool not to have to get up change the paper to envelopes and damage the paper having to throw it away getting back up to put the paper back in after the envelopes and so on and so on. one bad thing it really comes with no instructions at all nothing. I am very happy now I would buy ten of these if I had ten printers little joke.

I have used many previous HP printers and all in ones. This second tray closes so the paper is protected thereby keeping the printer freer from dust.

Adding this second tray has increased the usefulness of my printer immensely. Now I can keep stock paper in one tray and specialty paper (envelopes, small stock, etc.) in the other -- all without constantly pulling out trays and switching paper.

The second tray works great! The trouble I had was having to set up each program I have to use the second tray as my default tray. Once I set the printer up I felt like that should have been the last time to set up this feature, but every program I have used I have to set this feature up. Now that my set up is completed everything works great.

Impressed with this printer especially with ink usage. I own a small business and this printer is suited for my purposes. Otherwise, I had to find out by accident that this printer will accept a second paper tray which I needed for envelopes. There was a period of adjustment coordinating which tray would be used with each software program. You don't want reports printed on envelopes but it happened several times. Currently using tray 1 for envelopes and tray 2 for paper although today got a printer error message using photo paper in tray 2. Had to take out the envelopes in tray 1 to use for the photo paper. Besides this learning curve the printer is fantastic with many features I didn't know I needed.

I love the 25- sheet paper tray. No more having to fill the tray. Everyone in the house can print without having to check the paper level.

Extends time between paper reloads and allows use of tray #1 for other media - envelopes, card stock and others. It took longer to unpack it from the box and read the install instructions than actually do the install. Simple to install and functional within minutes.

Since I print a lot of photos and cards having the ability to set tray one for photos and such and
tray two as default tray works great and saves time.

It would be nice to tell buyer that the tray was for plain paper only and the printer may need new firmware to make it run.

By itself the Tray is superb. A user needs a system icon to choose the tray on the fly. I use the second tray not as a passive supply of paper to backup Tray 1 when it runs out. My Tray 1 uses one-sided blanks for normal informal work. For more formal work, an excellent assist to have is a constantly running miniature program accessible by a click as on a Windows system icon, with a choice of one-time use of Tray 1 or constant use of Tray 2 (or vice versa). That will complete the full eco utility of a fast 2-sided printer.
