- Is the HP Smart Tank 5001 worth it over a cartridge printer?
- If you print regularly, yes. The refillable tanks cost far less per page than cartridge models, so the higher upfront outlay pays back over time. For occasional printing, a cheap cartridge printer is simpler.
- How does it compare with the HP Smart Tank 5101?
- Both are tank-based all-in-ones with similar print quality. The 5101 adds a slightly larger feature set and often faster output, while the 5001 is the more basic model. Choose the 5001 if you mainly print text and want the simplest tank printer.
- Does it print double-sided?
- No. It does not print automatically on both sides, so you flip pages yourself for duplex jobs.
- Can I scan and copy with it?
- Yes. It has a flatbed scanner for single-page scans and copies. There is no automatic document feeder, so multi-page documents must be placed one sheet at a time.
- Does it work with phones and tablets?
- Yes. It connects over Wi-Fi and works with the HP Smart app for printing and scanning from iOS and Android devices.
- What comes in the box?
- The printer, setup ink bottles, a power cord and setup instructions. A USB cable is usually not included, so buy one if you want a wired connection.
