I'm in the market for a new hp printer. 
Mine is at least 10 years old and has a few glitches, my hp desktop is 12.

My dear sister did all the installing and technical stuff.

I have a question, once you scan a document, how do you get it to your computer, I need to do pdf's. 
I really lost with all this.

That is a good looking printer.

@Alsace Gal - You should be able to "scan to file" directly from the screen on your computer. Mine also has a "scan to email" option.

Although I apparently have no use for it, I need to learn how to scan. lol

@Tinkrbl44 - I do it all of the time! It's easy to do. Most of the time I'm scanning to send as an attachment with an email.

We bought an Epson EcoTank all in one printer last year. It comes with a bottle of each color ink. You turn the bottle of each ink upside down to fill the ink tanks. No mess, no dripping ink. I don't know how the ink does not come out when you turn it upside down to put on tank? It stops filling when tank is full. No ink comes out when you remove the bottles. There will only be a little ink left in each bottle. The refill bottles are $14 each.

This is why we bought this printer. We are not interested in spending a fortune on ink.

Bought the printer end of Aug last year. The color tanks are practically full. The black is half full. You have to fill the tanks before they are empty. Once it goes dry it says it won't work. You can see the ink levels on the front of the printer.

It's smaller than our Canon all in one we had. Does everything we need. 

@Nightowlz   should our need for a printer arise    john said this type is what we will look for in a canon

@mrshckynut , I may be wrong, but I think the Epson EcoTanks are the only ones like that.  You can get empty refillable cartridges that supposedly fit different printers, but my guess is they either don't work well or are very messy or else everybody would be doing it and there would be no need for the EcoTank.

I don't have your model, but have had my Hp All-In-One for as long as I can remember and NEVER have had any issues! I use their HP Instant Ink program - so I never run out of ink - they send me new cartridges before I run out!

@Icegoddess   while ask john about this when i get home on friday

When I was looking for a new printer, I bought HP because my laptop is HP and I assumed it would make a difference with compatibility.  I don't know for sure, but it probably has.

@Tinkrbl44 

It makes no difference. We have always used HP computers. Never owned an HP printer. We like Epson & Cannon.

HP also makes a smart ink tank refill printer like the Epson we bought. 

Looks like the ink for the HP costs more money. The refill bottles look smaller.

I bought a scanner so I could scan slides with it years ago. My dad had a bunch of slides of family photos. I took what I scanned plus family movies dad recorded during Christmas when we were kids. All of it was put on dvd so each of us has copy of it.
