Hi Brandon, thanks so much for taking the time to put this video together. I especially like the review portion!!! Good to see the reviews from people whom purchased this printer & their opinion as well. Thanks again & stay healthy!!!
I recently had to get a printer for my online classes. I got this thing because it seemed like a very good deal with the price so thanks for this video it will be very helpful after it shows up today!
Hi Brandon. Your video helped me to unpack and easily set up my printer. Thank you for that. This is the second HP 8025e I set up in two days. I returned the first one today because when I would print a page from the paper tray (I put it on 8 1/2 x 11 setting), when I pressed "print", it spit out multiple blank pages. I took it back to BestBuy and bought another. The same thing is happening so I'm thinking it's something I'm doing wrong. The paper tray seems to not hold to the 8 1/2 x 11 setting when I push it into the printer - the paper in the tray is not tight in the tray (that's the only way I can explain it). Any ideas? Even the alignment page came out with multiple pages. It has to be me. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.
Was a great help, I wish I would have seen your video before I bought it. But you could have went a little more in depth about loading the paper. Over all you were great, thank you for the help
Hi Brandon Great tutorial you for got to mention how hard those orange tabs are to pull off, I'm actually having wireless problems thank you for the info.
I just received mines about a week or to ago... I agree someone below stated to pay more for usb I didn’t realize It didn’t have that (not that I’ve used it prior, but can admit to liking to have all latest features ☺️) however, I feel like it Takes you through a lot of changes to download the software I’m dealing with a system saying not enough disc space on this house stream... feeling like HP not what it used to be I have projects and wanted something faster, now I am concerned about the noise it could make too 🙏🏽for the best
Since you wanted stories, here's mine. I already have an old laser printer and enough toner to last for probably a decade. It does great crisp black and white document printing, and I have no intention of replacing it. However, I haven't owned a color printer in probably a decade, and I found myself needing to print about 30-60 pages absolutely saturated with color each month. None of this "assume 5% page coverage" stuff. I had been visiting various print shops that charged between 50¢ and $1 per page. I did some research, and as long as I'm regularly printing, I think I can use an inkjet without the cartridges constantly drying up. (That's the reason I switched to laser and just did without color.) I think I settled on this printer over the 9015 for the lower up front cost, as I don't need faster ppm. You've got me reconsidering though, as a front USB port to scan to and print from might be rather convenient, as well as double sided document scanning. (At 7:40 you mention it doesn't print double sided, but as you were pointing to the document scanner, I think you meant it doesn't scan double sided?) Anyway, with either this printer or the 9015 and the initial instant ink offer, I think with my circumstances the printer will have paid for itself within a year just by print shop costs alone, not to mention the gas and having to get there during business hours, and of course the hassle of putting on pants. ;) The two questions I had before watching were: * Does it have a flatbed scanner? I think I was looking at a much older model of multifunction that looked like it was document feeder only, and I wanted to be sure I could scan things that would jam a document feeder. You definitely answered that! * Many newer HP printers come with an initial Instant Ink offer with "up to X months free*" and try as I might I haven't been able to figure out what exactly that means. I'm assuming that includes X months of up to one of the middle or low tier subscriptions, like the 50 pages per month, and if you want a higher tier for the free initial offer, you have to choose fewer months. Scoping out the 8025 and 8035, they're functionally identical, except the 8025 has a 6 month free initial offer, while the 8035 for $30 more has a 12 month initial offer. This is still a mystery to me. Thanks for the video and the tip on the 9015! I'm going to have to reconsider my purchase now. That higher initial investment might be worth the extra features and I might regret skimping later.
I tried printing pictures and my ink level are full and everything. But when I print pciture the colors are so off or saturated. My ink color is 910 and black ink is 910XL I wonder if it the ink cartidge number is the problem??
Yes, you should be able to connect via wifi not bluetooth. If you have the Hp app you can get the scanned photos on your phone. There is no 2 sided scanning on this model. Thanks for the comment!
for scanning does it have the function where I can put all my papers I want to scan on and it just slide through.. or is it just the glass top scanner?
I found this video because I just bought this printer. I wanted to make sure I did everything correctly with the installation process. BUT. I keep getting a paper jam comment on the screen but there is no paper jammed anywhere. Am I missing something?
Ok, so i am setting this printer up. Currently.... but on the screen where it shows copy, scan and fax, the fax option is the last option I am given. This screen on my printer does not include the option for apps. Is there any way you could help me get around this issue? Thank you.
When setting up the software it only shows 8020 and not 8025. What should I do? We went through the whole process. It works so far but I am worried we missed something. Please advise.
Do you find this printer to be loud? I just bought one and it sounds so loud when it prints, I came to your video to see if I could here what yours sounded like but the audio was cut for the voiceover. I'm just wondering if I should return it and get another type or just swap this one.
You forgot the Fax Telephone-line install process. There are two connection points (USA). Which one do use? NOTE: HP also left this process out of the quick install guides in the box.
The printer costs about 175 dollars and needs 4 ink cartridges that costs 110 dollars. I use my old HP printer which uses only 2 cartridges that you can buy for about 8 dollars a piece.
Since you have the best review how would you compare this with the HP 7855? I mean it cost nearly double does not show it works with Alexa ECT vs. This one.
I already HATE the 8025.There is no option out there to use refilled ink and apparently there is no way around it. This printer is going to quickly become very expensive to maintain.
I'm looking for something small for the house very compact, the most important it can email directly from the printer, also has Wi-Fi and a USB slot and prints double-sided which all in one printer can you recommend? I don't print photos just documents. Thanks
@@Aesop101 For me, the paper tray has been a nightmare. I don't know if I got a bad one, but it WILL NOT adjust to 8.5 x 11 and I can't figure it out for the life of me. (I've worked in offices for the last 30 years.....)
This is the cheapest printer which you can buy that can print at speeds up to 20 ppm (black) but beware, the cartridge has an expiry of 6 months, wtf, which means the cartridge cannot be used after 6 months even if the ink is left. The standard cartridge itself is expensive.
If you have purchased one of these printers, as fast as you can return it before it is too late. DO NOT buy an HP ink jet printer. Save your self money and frustration. I have one but I had it a year or two before I tried setting it up. I worked on it a minimum of six hours trying to get it to print and scan. It only got worse. I did get it to scan to my laptop but that shortly quit. I have had many HP printers and several all-in-ones but never had so much trouble with any of them. Also the free ink is a scam and contributes to the problem I think when I checked to opt out of the program. Save yourself a lot of frustration and don't purchase any of the low end HP printers/all in one. If you have one of these and you can tell me how to configure mine I would appreciate you help. Thank you for reading this.
I have this printer and it’s a piece of garbage. When I purchased I was told “Mac compatible.” After I purchased it I was told they don’t yet have a driver for Catalina. This was in October 2019. It’s May 2020 and this garbage printer still won’t work properly. I’ve had the same problems others have had: says wifi is disconnected but it’s not, excessive paper jamming, or saying there’s a paper name when there isn’t, and printer doing 10-15 minutes worth of maintenance before you can print anything. When quarantine is over, this printer goes to the dump.
I Just opened the box and started setting up and I cannot even open the deck to put in the ink. It is catching on something and AI am afraid if I force it it will break something soI am putting it all back in the box and returning it as I have had continuous bad luck with HP printers.@@patriciachuchryk3299

Not a very good review IMO, you didn't TEST it. It was more of a set up video. I was watching another channel and he printed 8 color test pages to find the color quality fading by the page and the ink running low after 8 pages.

This is a really good printer th-cam.com/users/postUgkxciSwynMJ7PnUvvx11rewiu-yFBkZTl53 . The reason I gave 4 stars for tech support (which I don't think this would classify as tech support) is because once you turn the printer on, it does require a little bit of start up time which may bother some who are in a hurry to quickly print something. To offset that though the printer prints very quickly. I would definitely purchase this printer again.
Ok first of all I'm a 71 yr old computer challenged idiot, so take what I'm about to say in that context. I just bought one of these .... 5 hrs trying to set this damned thing up including tech support with hp by phone. Not to mention support from a different country and the tech wanted access to my computer to set it up which I admittedly refused. Anyway, no exaggeration if there was a hammer in the room this printer would be nothing more than a bad memory currently. I dont know if all new printers are like this but you need wifi to set it up!!! GD it's a freaking printer why do I need wifi to connect it? Not only connect it, use it! IMPO which is novice, stay away from this, far away! Your internet goes out, your printer goes out. I still dont know what I'll do if my router sheets to bed, I'll be starting from square one! Find out before you buy any new printer these days I guess, find out if it relies on wifi. Everytime I power this damned printer on I say a prayer it will recognize my computer. NO CONFIDENCE IN THIS JUNK! Just another scheme for big brother to watch.
This piece if shit HP Office JET PRO 8028 just 10 minutes old from unboxing already showing me "Door Open" signal... with some cover or door must be closed to continue... what the F!!!! worst printer to buy!!!

Without hp plus
Without the app? Can you connect directly to a computer? Please respond in a separate comment so I can see it quickly.

It scans through a feeder located on the top of the printer face up. I have (3) of these printers.
Shameka Allen - can you scan two sided document?
@@rameshpmenon did you ever get an answer to this? I have the same question lol
Thanks for this great, simple video!
Thank goodness for this video as the instructions that came with the printer were inadequte.
I am glad it helped!
It's saying the print cartidges can't move but nothing is jammed when I look. How do I fix this????
I have had this issue, and all I did was restart the printer until it went away. If it doesnt go away you may need a new printer.
Do you HAVE to connect to wifi if you only want to use the usb cable?
Thank you!!! This was so helpful!
Is wireless the only option with this printer? Can I use a printer cable to my computer?
Yes you can use a USB cable.
How can you set this up to collate copies rather than just printed documents?
In your computers presets.
Thank you. The video helped, as I missed taking out the package piece for the ink. Duh! I like words as well as pictures for installing new items.
Glad it was helpful!
I found this video because I just bought this printer. I wanted to make sure I did everything correctly with the installation process. BUT. I keep getting a paper jam comment on the screen but there is no paper jammed anywhere. Am I missing something?
That is strange. I would return the printer and get a new one. It Shouldn't be doing that.
make sure your printer is set to the correct paper setting
Maybe it’s because of the weight of the paper?
Ok, so i am setting this printer up. Currently.... but on the screen where it shows copy, scan and fax, the fax option is the last option I am given. This screen on my printer does not include the option for apps. Is there any way you could help me get around this issue? Thank you.
You will need to download the Hp app first on your phone and then connect to your printer that way.
@@BestPrinters thank you! I figured it out. Why do printers need all this high tech stuff nowadays?
Like the printer and appreciate your video....One KEY note, Paaa-leeze speak louder.
Is this the same as the HP 8025e?
Basically yes.
I'm wanting to know the same question.
Is it good for stickers printing ?
There are better printers for sticker printing.

8020 is the correct software.
what is the difference between 8025 and 8025e?
Not much of a difference.
What is the different between 8022 and 8025 and does both of them have color or it is just black White
They are basically the same.
Is this alot better than the 6055 version?..
It is.
How can I unjam it? I can't open the printer. Thank you
Hay man what is the difference between the hp 7155 and this one the 8025? I’m trying to buy one for Plastisol.
The 8025 and 7155, are pretty similar. The biggest difference is the ink set up.
Do you find this printer to be loud? I just bought one and it sounds so loud when it prints, I came to your video to see if I could here what yours sounded like but the audio was cut for the voiceover. I'm just wondering if I should return it and get another type or just swap this one.
They will all basically sound the same. Based on the other models I have reviewed.

Yes it should be able to.
hi, does this fit 8.5 x 14 inch paper?

how to make print darker on my jet pro 8020?
You can actually increase the dpi print from your computer in the settings.
How many pages can it print from the black cartridge
Would you recommend the Officejet Pro 8025 or 8035?

IMPO which is novice, stay away from this, far away! Your internet goes out, your printer goes out. I still dont know what I'll do if my router sheets to bed, I'll be starting from square one! Find out before you buy any new printer these days I guess, find out if it relies on wifi. Everytime I power this damned printer on I say a prayer it will recognize my computer. NO CONFIDENCE IN THIS JUNK! Just another scheme for big brother to watch.
This piece if shit HP Office JET PRO 8028 just 10 minutes old from unboxing already showing me "Door Open" signal... with some cover or door must be closed to continue... what the F!!!! worst printer to buy!!!
