Inside the HP Community Printer Review Program

We opened an offer to every HP Expert in the USA: receive a brand-new HP printer at your door, set it up, put it to work, and tell us exactly what you think. Four stepped forward.

The Program

This special program put HP printers in the hands of the people who know them best. Each volunteer expert received a printer at home, completed the setup, used it in real-world conditions, and shared honest feedback along the way. No scripts and no scorecards, just real experience from people who help HP customers every day.

Their review covered four areas

Setup: how smoothly the printer goes from box to first page

Connectivity: wireless setup and day-to-day reliability

Print quality: real documents and real results

The HP App: from first launch to everyday use & others.

Meet the Four Experts

Thank you to the volunteers who gave their time, curiosity and candid feedback.

Why It Matters

Hands-on experience makes advice better. When experts live with a product themselves, the guidance they share in the Community becomes more practical and more trusted. That benefits every member who visits looking for answers.
