Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have always enjoyed HP printers and was looking forward to upgrade my legacy printer to the Pro 9135e. It was packaged very well and pretty light to make it easy installation. I went through using my phone for the setup which is recommended through the start up guide. However you are able to use the HP software for PC setup if preferred. Upon starting the printer it does force you to use the online setup so there is not an option to setup through the printer screen menu directly. My only concern during the setup was insertion of the ink cartridges. I did not like how flimsy the casing was and how you have to push the ink cartridges into the spring. You must be vary careful to make a direct insert and not wobble the cartridge too much. My concern is that over time that ink cartridge container is going to wear/warp and break. Printer is quick and not as load as other legacy printers. The ink quality for pictures and papers look really great and did not see any signs of smudges or skips. The scan is also quick and has picked up everything I scanned without issues. Speaking of scanning , the pc software for the HP Scan has a larger user interface in this latest version. It is really nice to be able to read and navigate however would have loved the ability to change the window size. My only issue is the forced sending Data collection settings during setup along with the HP cartridge chip to only allow approved HP ink cartridges for use. I can understand the HP ink cartridges as you would not want to damage your new printer with a bad 3rd party ink cartridge. However there is no reason you should be forced to allow data collection and cannot opt out during setup. Luckily you can go back into the HP Scanner Assistance software > Data Collection Settings and disable. Overall this is a great printer with easy install , setup and easy to use software. Have to be careful with that data collection and worry that ink cartridge frame is going to wear. However time will tell if that ink cartridge is durable after long usage.

The HP 9135e printer creates bright, clear, colorful printouts quickly from many different devices. The ink dries quickly, allowing for double sided printing nearly as fast as single sided. There was only a 5 second difference between a double sided page and 2 single sided pages. Scanning speed is good as well. This model scans images from both sides at same speed as the last model did a single side. Print speed is in line with what is promised on the box, which was a pleasant surprise. I could easily print from multiple devices including different PCs, my phone, and my iPad. The phone already had HPs app from a previous printer. The PC & the iPad didn’t even need anything set up in advance of connecting to the printer. In both cases, I could easily set double sided and color options to my liking. Not all is rosy however: The printer ships with a couple of short cuts set up on it’s LCD screen for copying. If you want to scan, you have to accept that HP has access to your device storage and the printer directly. HP seems to have a decent privacy policy, but like most large companies it’s subject to unilateral change at any time. There’s no option to have the printer send directly to a local device to bypass HP’s servers. Set up was fairly straightforward. There were two minor issues I encountered: A friend tried printing using WiFi direct and it took quite a while to have the driver installed. Once it was installed, it didn’t print right away. After rebooting the PC, everything worked fine. The initial print job started coming out. One note: You must install the HP app on a phone or navigate to the web site on your PC in order to configure the printer on your network. The printer has an Ethernet port for those who are running with wires at your office or home. Just like every other printer maker, HP sells its own ink. They want you to buy it. They note during set up they may disable 3rd party ink cartridges that aren’t “authorized” by HP. If you know how much you regularly print, you can save by prepaying for your ink using HP Instant Ink. That said, I’ve used 3rd party consumables in other printers and it doesn’t always work out well, so HP may be saving you some trouble in the long run.

I love HP OfficeJet Pro printers. I’ve used some kind of HP InkJet Printer for as long as I can remember after dot matrix went away, and once they went to Mulfi-Function Printers with Scanners, Fax and Feed Copying, they really did everything I needed as a student, young professional and now head of household. The OfficeJet Pro 9135e is a solid update to the 9025e I have been using the last few years. There’s not a whole lot of difference in appearance other than the LCD screen is quite a bit larger and it feels and looks snappier and more vibrant. The other major improvement I saw was the set-up experience. They’ve really updated the onboarding experience by making it Phone App driven with the HP Smart App. It very much feels like a smart device experience now. Once you download the app, it automatically finds your local WiFi and sends the password you type in via BlueTooth. Then it does all the IP and network discovery from Printer to Phone App and lets you control and monitor the Printer with useful info like paper and ink levels. After connecting the Printer to WiFi, provided you have network discovery enabled on your home PCs, the Printer was detected and added in seconds without any need to download printer drivers (thank you HP for FINALLY making a universal driver package that works!). If you need to, you can still access the admin console by punching the printer’s IP address into a browser address bar. if you try to access anything you will be asked to enter the PIN# in the cartridge access area of the printer which serves as its default password. Again, you’ll notice here there’s a bit of a facelift in the GUI compared to older interfaces. This is also where you’ll want to set up more advanced features like scan to email if you are using this as an office printer instead of a home office printer. The only negative thing I ran into is that HP really tries to push you into signing up for HP+ and prompts you to set something up about 10x which is pretty annoying. It’s one of those subscriptions that are free at first, but auto-bill you if you don’t cancel, so that’s kind of annoying. This could be great for folks who print a lot, but I really don’t, if anything I print to PDF as much as possible and store or email documents digitally. But, sometimes you do need to print and I usually just buy 936 cartridges (same as my 9025e) every few years. HP does also say if you don’t use genuine HP cartridges and chips, your chips may stop working after firmware updates, so keep that in mind. Again, minor issue given I print so infrequently but something to be aware of. Otherwise, the scanner is great, the copy function works great so everything else feels familiar and probably slightly improved. Oh and the build quality is slightly better I’d say than the 9025e, which I thought was slightly more flimsy than the 9025. The printer trays also have a lock in place type mechanism too which is nice. So again, no major surprises here, if you love HP OfficeJet products this is the best one under $500 yet, even better remote and mobile functionality and feels faster than before. I’m using it connected only wirelessly with no hard wire connected to my mesh network and it works great, really enjoying it and even during set-up, I didn’t need to connect a network cable.

HP's latest 9135e printer is a fast, medium-sized capacity printer in a smaller package. HP’ 9135e comes in a great size for as many features it has. It prints quickly (most pages in a couple of seconds), in good quality prints (the ink displays vibrant colors and dries relatively quickly compared to other printers I've owned), and has nifty features like automatic double sided printing & scanning, wifi direct printing, NFC device recognition, Apple AirPrint, and more. The setup was also easy and the printer’s small display helped guide me through the setup. As for scanning, photos and receipts were able to scan relatively quick and at a good resolution. What I loved the most aside from the quick printing, were the dual trays and ability to print up to legal size. Having the extra storage space helped me avoid finding out something didn't print due to running out of pages midway through a packet of worksheets and having to refill the trays often. When everything works well, it really is a great printer. The problem I've had is that I’ve had constant issues when trying to print from Android devices and at times from Windows computers. I did not have any issues printing from Apple devices (looks like it is targeted for Apple devices). After spending some time troubleshooting, changing settings, and resetting the printer, I continued to have issues printing from my Android phone (as well as other Android devices). Overall, I wanted to like this printer but with the several issues I encountered, I ended up continuing to use an older printer. The HP 9135e has many neat features and was easy to use on my Apple devices. I wish I was able to use it on all of my devices though.

The HP OfficeJet Pro 9135e is incredibly simple to set up onto your network using the HP Smart application for MacOS. I did not trial this product out on a Windows machine so I don't have much to offer for that operating system. Set up is easy - take the machine out of the box, attach the power cord & plug into an outlet, open system up to install four (4) ink cartridges - standard magenta, cyan, yellow, and black. The wifi set up process was all done through the HP Smart application on my computer and went relatively seamlessly. For an inkjet printer, this machine actually spits out prints fairly quickly - it's rated to be able to produce 20-25 pages/minute for color and monochromatic printing, respectively. Printer resolution can be changed but the maximum is 1200x1200 for monochromatic and 4800x1200 for color printing. These are plenty sufficient specifications for a simple printer. I should note that I don't intend to use this for photo printing, so super high quality printing isn't of important to me. I'm only using one of the two paper trays available but it's nice that there are options as you can load two different sizes of paper and choose between the two, as necessary. There's also an auto feeder on top for quick copying. The printer is equipped to be able to do double-sided printing as well, which is a convenient feature for a printer this small in stature. There's a small 4.3" LCD screen on the printer itself to navigate through various settings and to use the scanner/fax options. There's also a USB port available to print directly from an external storage device. My main concern came up when I opened up the (included) ink cartridges - HP offers 3 months of Instant Ink included with the HP+ subscription plan - a monthly payment plan that starts getting charged after 3 months. I believe the perk is that you get ink delivered (within 10 days) when you run low on ink. Though, the supposed benefit is that you "only pay for pages printer, not the amount of ink you use. Color costs the same as black & white." Something about this feels odd and changes my mindset of HOW I want to pay for ink- if anything, it sort of forces you to look at the quantity and frequency of your printing to better estimate if the subscription service is right for you or if you should purchase the refills a la carte. Taking a quick look at prices online for ink refills - a full set (all four colors) is currently going for $125 (February 2024), with the black being capable of 1450 pages and 800 pages per color. The recommended subscription is for 100 pages/mo at $6.99/mo, which comes out to be more affordable. For example 800 pages of color printing would cost $125 (all four cartridges) vs. 800 pages of color printing on the subscription would be $56 (for whichever cartridges need refilling). What I personally don't want is to add on ANOTHER subscription service in my life so I'd probably opt for the a la carte option, which would theoretically be at a higher cost to me; though, I won't have to worry about ongoing payments.

So far, after a month, I'm pleased with the 9135e. It's fast, relatively quiet, and the print output is good. I don't like the constant reminders for Instant Ink, but that's life now. Moving to the HP Smart concept has reduced the space taken by the old software bundles, but HP Smart can be slow and parts of it not very intuitive. But the printer itself has performed up to expectations.

This OfficeJet Pro was a great choice for a color printer for my home office. It offers a lot of functionality: 2-sided scanning and printing, fast color printing, and lots of paper capacity/size options. I have owned a few HP printers, which have all been reliable and easy to use - so far, this new OfficeJet has met all my expectations. ---Pros--- 1. Size and design. I like the low profile, square edges, color combination, and the large adjustable color screen - making this printer look very modern. The printer easily fits on my 20x20 side table with a few inches to spare in every direction - keeping in mind that you need to leave a little space for access to the back paper feed door (has not happen to me, but this is used to clear jams). It is about 26lbs, but 2 integrated, textured hand holds along the bottom edge help you move it if needed. 2. Input paper capacity and variety. It has 2 x 250 sheet trays (500 total, better than my laser printer) that are both expandable up to 8x14in (legal paper). Tray 1 also takes a variety of other sizes, including envelopes, stock for cards/photos (3x5in, 4x6in; 5x7in, 8x10in). 3. Automatic double-sided printing AND scanning. You have to use the document feeder for double sides scans and copies, but it works well. For double sided scans to a file in the HP app, you have to select the "2 sided feeder" input source option in the scan settings. 4. Scan (300dpi) and print quality (1200x1200dpi) are good even just using copy paper and the document feeder text copies are sharp and look professional. I did not try it with photo paper, but color images on regular paper were sharp with accurate color tone; I am sure it could produce frameable photo prints with the right paper. 5. The HP Smart app is the awesome. Both wireless scanning and printing using the app are easy and quick. It works well on every platform I have tried; I have this app on my computer, tablet, my wife's iPhone, and my Android phone. I often print email attachments directly from my phone or scan a document without having to turn on my computer. You can also see ink levels (even order ink) and change lots of printer/scanner settings. 6. Front USB port for thumb drives is handy, allowing you to print or scan without any device. It reads my thumb drive with no issues, and navigating through the folders and files on the printer's touchscreen is easy, and you can preview before you print. 7. Fax capability (phone line in and out), wired USB-B direct connection (covered with a removable sticker recommending Wi-Fi), and wired network port (LAN). 8. Wireless printing and scanning work perfectly with the ChromeOS built in utility on my Chromebook. ---Things to Consider--- 1. Quick multi-page printing - this printer is fast; I have seen well over 20ppm black & white set on draft quality (it is rated up to 25ppm in the specs). The only issue is that it takes a little longer to get started than I was expecting. The quoted first page out time of 10 seconds is worse than my laser printer (with warm up) and with larger or high-quality printer jobs, it sometimes takes 15-25 seconds for the first page. Once it gets going, I was impressed with my real-world results for my typical small to medium sized printer job: black & white, draft quality, one-sided ~22ppm; color, normal quality, one-sided ~10ppm; color, high quality, one-sided ~ 3ppm; grayscale, normal quality, one-sided ~ 14ppm. For double-sided printing the speed is just under half the one-sided speed (as expected). 2. This printer uses the HP 936 ink cartridge that is rated at 1,250 black pages and 800 color pages which is around 1 cent per page for black and 16 cent per page for color at the current price for the 4 pack (black + cyan + magenta + yellow). You can purchase just one cartridge if you run out (black is my most used). For a mixed-use printer this is pretty reasonable, although laser is probably a better option if you only ever want black & white. 3. The paper output receiver (or "tray" I guess) capacity for holding finished print jobs is only 100 sheets in the specs and I would not even get close to that number (maybe 50 pages). It also has to be extended or the printer will throw your printed papers on the floor. This is a minor issue in a small home office, but walking over to extend the output paper receiver after someone else has pushed it in really defeats some of the "wireless" printing fun. 4. The power cable could be a bit longer at just under 5ft but was not an issue for me. No USB or phone cable are included for the fax or direct connection to a computer. 5. Lots of options are available in the settings for managing where scans are sent directly from the printer (email, cloud, network folder) - I did not try this feature, because the HP SmartApp works so well for sharing scans. 6. This printer makes some noise, especially printing double sided. It does offer a quiet mode (that reduces printer speed approximately in half) to cut down on noise - it does help but the paper handling clicks are still noticeable. It is in the same room as my computer and it doesn't bother me, but I would not use it for double-sided printing during a conference call.

The copier makes nice copies. They are clear and look great in both color and black and white. The HP Smart app is great and easy to use for all functions. The only negative so far has been it's a bit louder than I would like. But for the cost it was worth a little noise.

It’s a solid unit. Well-built, feels sturdy and heavy. Takes a little oomph to lift it out of the box and set it on the stand. Set up is about as easy as it comes. I am not a fan of having to use an app to set up a printer, and HP obliges by making set up entirely possible from the front panel. The front panel is a brightly colored 4.3” LCD screen and very responsive to the touch. My main use for the 9135e is as a black and white printer/scanner. My wife is a teacher and is printing out literally hundreds of pages a week, as well as scanning in papers and uploading them to the cloud. The 9135e excels at both. Print quality is excellent, and scan quality with an auto feeder is excellent. I low how there are two trays for paper. My wife often needs to print visual aids on card stock, and having a separate tray that can hold card stock is such a benefit! No more need to swap paper in and out of a tray or accidentally print regular docs on expensive card stock. This is truly a great option to have on a home office printer. Print cost is always something that is interesting to consider. I have a couple of printers that have the large ink tanks on them that can be refilled, and I do get spoiled by the low cost of printing. A replacement black HP 936 cartridge is around $42 and says it should yield 1,450 pages. Math turns out to be around 3 cents a page for black and white. Color of course is a bit more expensive, with the replacement carts (all three) costing around $80 for ~800 pages. That’s around 10 cents a color copy which isn’t too bad…. But could be better. If you are using this printer as a mostly black and white printer, I feel like you can’t go wrong.

I have had this printer for about 2 weeks now, and I like it a lot. Very nice quality prints. I haven't used the scan yet, but I can update this review later to add my comments on that. One thing I have noticed is that if you turn it off and start it up later, it seems to have problem finding the paper in the tray. All I have to do is slide the paper tray out a few inches, then push it back into place, and the printer immediately clears that error message. I didn't get the Instant Ink option, as I probably will not go through that much ink, and also based on some previous reviews I read. But overall, I am very pleased with this printer and would buy it again. I would advise potential buyers to read some of the detailed reviews where people talk about how they set it up. I found it pretty easy to set up and get running. It took maybe an hour to work through everything. Oh, and HP really did some nice thinking on the packaging. I was a little worried about lifting this pretty heavy printer out of the box, but found that HP had already thought of that and the printer was inside a plastic bag that had nice handles, so it was very easy to remove from the box. Thanks to HP's packaging engineers!

So far, the printer has worked great in the Office. Easy to set up and good quality prints. Printer is assigned to at least three people in the office and is used as the main fax into the Office.

Excellent printer. Going from some small printer you had to turn the pages by hand to double side print I feel spoiled. Once set up on our office network we can now print from any device with ease.

This was an easy set up and the printer works great! When you hit print, it has a little delay before it starts, but if you are printing multiple pages, it prints fast. I like the printer and it has a nice appearence although it may be a little large. The software download was easy and works very well. I had a different brand printer before and it was difficult to use due to the software. Very nice printer!! I am well pleased!!

I just installed this printer and it was a difficult process. I spent 2 hours on it and then spent 2 hours with HP Support on the phone. No install instructions were included in the box and the on screen messages referred me to sites online that were not adequate to complete the install. The need to install all sorts of apps was not clear - HP Smart, HP Scan, HP Easy Start. Also no where did it say where to find the password for the printer, which is a critical piece to the installation. The Scan to Computer function was the most difficult one to get working and when it finally did work the quality of the scan was terrible. I will have to process the scanning from the computer since the results using the option directly from the printer to the computer is poor. I have only had it working for one day and it appears to work okay; however, it is much noisier than my previous HP LaserJet printer. I will add that after 2 hours with HP Support a supervisor took over and he was very good, finally determining what needed to be done. HP Support called today to find out if it was working and since I have only had it up for less than a day, I told them I would know more next week. He has scheduled to call back next week to check. I find that to be extraordinary service. I will say "yes" to recommending; however, that could change.

The setup of the HP OfficeJet Pro 9135e was very smooth. I was up and running successfully printing within 5 minutes. The only issue I have is that it seems a little noisier than past HP printers but not too bothersome. So far I am happy with the printer.

Great options and functions. Is a bit noisy when not in quiet mode. There is little hiccup when logged into a mesh wifi, connection sometimes lodt. Have printed to it from all over the workd to home.

Setup was very easy. Speed is good, but it's a little noisier than our previous HP Officejet. We like that the duplex attachment is smaller than our previous one and enjoy the second paper tray.

Purchased for child in college. They set it up themselves following instructions in booklet - can print from computer & mobile phone. Fast printing output! Touchscreen for making selections easy to see and use. College-aged child is thrilled with this printer.

very nice printer. functions perfectly. doesn't take up a lot of room. user friendly.

Overall, this is a great printer. A big upgrade from the HP8028. Fast and great quality printing. Much better quality paper trays. Intuitive interface on PC. Scanning function works well and super fast....except that it seems to frequently drop the wireless connection for this function, requiring turning the printer off and back on to reconnect. Not sure if it's a problem with our wireless connection but we don't have this issue as frequently with other devices.
