Product: HP Smart Tank 5101 All-in-One Printer

Just got Smart Tank 5100 series (5101) - looks snazzy and the ink tanks seem like a good idea and cost effective.

 

Main observation is there is no computer'ish screen, like my trusty HP OfficeJet Pro 5978. With the tank printer, everything's from the app ... I was able to print from my phone, so that's pretty slick. 2nd main observation is there's no feeder tray, so you have to place copies one at a time on the scanner - painful for big jobs ... 

 

- for scanning, the only option in the Smart app for source is the Scanner Glass, so no option for "feeder", to feed multiple pages ...

 

- for copying, how would you copy multiple copies? In OfficeJet Pro 5978 it had a nice computer'ish screen to touch screen your # of copies ... in the HP App, there's no option for "copying" ... only scanning ... 

 

- the Setup and Reference Guide has no mention on scanning and copying, and it doesn't reference anything online, so it's a little skimpy imo.

 

- The box says "2 years of ink", I was like "woo-hoo, 2 years of free ink!", but the reference basically indicates your ink will last 2 years ... best as I can tell. If that's true, then good.

 

- Also, the paper tray is skimpy and holds about 1/3 the amount of paper that the trusty HP OfficeJet Pro 5978 does.

 

Thank you.
