Our take on the HP Tank 5101 Wireless Monochrome Inkjet 3-in-1 Printer

The HP Tank 5101 is a wireless all-in-one that prints, copies and scans on A4 paper. It uses refillable ink tanks rather than cartridges, which keeps running costs low over years of use. It is aimed at homes and small offices that print steadily but don't need color. Compared with cartridge-based all-in-ones, it trades a higher upfront outlay for far cheaper refills; compared with HP's own Smart Tank models, it is the plainer, no-frills version.

Questions and answers

Is the HP Tank 5101 worth it over a cartridge printer?

If you print regularly, yes. The refillable tanks make each page much cheaper than cartridge models, so the higher upfront cost pays back over time. For occasional printing, a cheap cartridge printer may be enough.

Does it print in color?

No. It is a monochrome printer, so it prints black text and graphics only. Copies and scans are also black and white.

Can I print from my phone?

Yes. It connects wirelessly, so you can print from phones, tablets and laptops on the same network. HP's app handles setup and mobile printing.

What paper size does it take?

It handles A4, the standard size for letters and documents in most of the world. Smaller sizes such as A5 are also supported.

Does it have an automatic document feeder?

No. The flatbed scanner takes one page at a time, so multi-page copies and scans are done by hand.

How does it compare with HP Smart Tank printers?

Both use refillable tanks. The Tank 5101 is the simpler model, while Smart Tank units add features such as color printing and more connectivity options.
