How does it compare with cartridge inkjet printers?

It uses refillable tanks, so ink costs far less per page over time. The trade-off is a larger body and slower speeds than many cartridge models.

Is it good for photo printing?

Yes. It prints color photos with good detail for a home all-in-one, though on plain paper rather than dedicated photo paper results are ordinary.

Can I print from my phone?

Yes. It supports wireless printing and Bluetooth-assisted setup through the HP app on iOS and Android.

Does it scan and copy as well as print?

Yes. It is a flatbed all-in-one, so it scans and copies single sheets, but there is no automatic document feeder for multi-page jobs.

What comes in the box?

The printer, setup ink bottles, printhead, power cord and setup guide. You supply your own paper and USB cable if you want a wired connection.

Is it fast enough for a small office?

For light duty, yes. At around 12 ppm mono it is slower than a laser, so heavy daily volume will feel slow.

Our take on the HP Smart Tank 580 Color All-in-One Inkjet Printer

The HP Smart Tank 580 is a color inkjet all-in-one that prints, scans and copies using refillable ink tanks instead of cartridges. It ships with enough ink for a very high page yield, which is the main reason buyers pick it over cartridge printers. Print speeds are modest at around 12 ppm mono, so it suits light home-office and family printing more than busy workgroups. Owners rate it highly for running costs and print quality, and complain mainly about speed and the setup app.
