Is this a good printer for a home office?

Yes, if you mainly print text and color documents. It is fast and cheap per page on black text, but it takes up more room than a small inkjet.

Does it print on both sides automatically?

Yes. It supports automatic two-sided printing, so you do not have to flip pages by hand.

Yes. It is a multifunction unit with a flatbed scanner and a 50-sheet automatic document feeder for multi-page scans and copies.

It connects over Wi-Fi, Ethernet or USB, and works with the HP app and cloud printing services.

No. Color laser output is fine for charts and graphics but flat for photographs. An inkjet photo printer does that job better.

It is faster on text, does not clog when idle and costs less per page over time. Inkjets are smaller and better for photos.
