I have been using this printer for quite some time now. While brand HP is highly trustworthy, I believe it is important for users to be also aware of some technical insight of this printer and hope that my review shall help users make a more informed decision. Needless to say HP has this line of Deskjet printers (2545, 1510 etc) for personal/home use and they are simply great when it comes to Value For Money. Some of the good features of this (HP 2545) printer are 1. Easy to install, It actually is, if you do a bit of homework and just seamlessly follow the setup instructions 2. Economical cost of cartridges. Good ratio of pages/cartridge 3. Clarity of scan and photocopy. Various DPI /Resolution options possible for scanning. 4. It is a Network Printer so can be installed on multiple devices hooked to your WiFi network. Can also be seamlessly connected from PC/Laptop that has a wired connection to your router. 5. Print quality shall not be as great as Laser but certainly very decent for home usage. Still what makes me rate this at average??? This printer and for that matter the related series of HP DeskJet printers (both USB as well as WiFi capable) that DO NOT offer Borderless Printing have one particular feature, they need about 1.5 Centimeter of margin at the bottom that remains as Non Printable area of the paper. So while this printer does support A4 size page, it is just not going to print anything within that bottom margin of 1.5cm. This is behavior by design. For applications running on PC, this is no big issue, as you can always adjust the margins in Page Setup and/or scale the output to Fit the Page wherever necessary while firing the print. Sadly if you have an A4 sized certificate where important information (Say signature of certifying authority) or may be an elegant border running within 1.5cm of the bottom edge, the Photocopier function shall simply miss it. You shall have to scan it first and then print it using Fit To Page option (from within PC apps) as the copier is not having any intelligent logic therein. You shall even notice that the scanner light returns from Letter mark and does not go up to A4 mark when you hit the Copy Button. So practically this device shall photocopy only up to Letter size, in order to accommodate its Print Margins. This info is disguised within specifications, in a way it is there but not in plain layman language, rather more in tech language of Paper Handling and Margins. I would have expected HP to have implemented some auto scaling logic while photocopying A4 in this device. PhotoCopy is more or less automatic operation without any PC interface or any application controlled printing as offered by Acrobat reader or Office apps. It is a bit annoying to see that the photocopy is simply going to miss the 1.5 cm of A4 bottom!! It is possible that many users may not be aware of this and even those who own this line of printers may not even have noticed it, unless you ever need to hit a full A4 photocopy. As already said, my purpose is just to enable users to make a more informed decision. These intricacies shall not be told to you by anyone before you make a purchase.

i purchased this printer a month back and i am very happy with it, i got it for 4600 after the 10% discount and i also got a free cartridge ( but since there was a problem and the cudnt deliver the free cartridge they gave me a refund of rs 450 ) so basically i got the printer for 4150... i have printed around 90 photos till now and i am on the 3rd colour cartridge and and still on the 1st black cartridge the usage is as follows 1st Colour Cartridge 4*6 = 22 Photos 5*7 = 22 Photos 2nd Colour Cartridge 4*6 = 4 Photos 5*7 = 33 Photos 1st Black Cartridge A4 = 60 Pages still over 3/4 of the ink is remaining Pros 1 It can print decent quality photos in max dpi for home use ... (get the correct Photo Paper) 2 Black and white printing is fast and in draft mode even faster... 3 Scan quality is good... 4 Wireless printing is awesome, i have printed everything wireless never connected the usb... Cons 1 No borderless printing at that price... 2 Using refilled cartridge avoids warranty? also i see some people saying that while printing photos the ink doesn't stick it depends on the photo paper, even i had the same experience with the first 2 pics i printed and i knew then and there that it was the photo paper went on and got kodak photo paper and the pics came out good i have bought around 4 different brand of papers and didn't have a problem with any yet other than the initial paper that i had bought.... u can refill the cartridges and use it but it says it will void the warranty and also it doesn't show teh ink level hope this was helpful

I needed a Printer for Home use and after doing some research on the available Inkjet printers in the market , i closed down to HP 2545 Deskjet . The reasons were : 1) Lower Printing cost . This is the basic fact that cheaper printers have High printing costs and Costlier printers have Lower printing cost . The Black ink cartridge for 2545 model comes at around 480 Rs MRP and lasts upto 400+ pages . So, per page cost is around 1 Re. only . Saves a lot of money in long term . 2) Wifi Direct connectivity : This printer can be connected through a Local Wifi Lan and function as a Network Printer for multiple users OR it can be directly connected to a computer via its own wifi network ( no cable needed ) . So, print from anywhere in your home :) 3) Pearl White body : Looks very upmarket 4) Scans over wifi over http interface :) . Just connect to printer`s wifi and type the ip : http://192.168.223.1/ . Scanned copy is displayed on your web browser interface . 5) Photo paper printing is also Good in Quality . Now, i can develop my passport sized pics at Home :) And the best part is, with HP redemption offer, i got a set of Cartridges free ( 1 Black + 1 Tricolor ). P.S. : I bought it at 4139 /- . I dont know How come the prices have increased so much now ? Probably due to rising demand :)

Have been using it for about 2 years now.. My usage on an average is once a week.. No major issues until now.. All three functions work well.Had few minor issues as below- Ink gets dried if not used regularly. It is advisable to take prints at least once a week- Sometimes the printed pages are misaligned- When the ink cartridge is at minimum level, the print is light. It is advisable to replace cartridge if ink level is minimum

It is a good printer to have. Unlike my old HP Deskjet 3050 J610, I can print 300+ pages with one cartridge. I am happy with my new printer.After 2 years, I am downgrading my rating from 4 to 2.I had some issue with my printer, and suddenly stopped working. I called the HP customer care and they have given some service center contact details. (all of them are just authorized and none from HP directly) And service center addresses in their portal (for Bangalore location), out of 6 addresses near to area, at least 4 are either shutdown or relocated long back. (and HP customer care still maintaining the old information. No Shame).And one service guy told me these kind of printers are not suitable for repair and if it is under warranty, HP will just replace them. (Means we have to throw them out after one year, if there is any problem or shell out at least 50% - 70% of original price to get it repaired.)Very nice and cheap idea from company like HP. Do they want to mint the money from customers for every opportunity?Very poor after sales service. (Just imagine, it is the pity state in place like Bangalore, then what about smaller towns)

Very good AIO for home use. Ink is neither too cheap nor too costly. You should buy only if you use is somewhat regularly. Otherwise the ink dries up and doesn't print even if in terms of number pf pages printed is far lower than what the ink bottle claims it can print.Update on 23rd Nov 2017 - It's a worst printer to buy if you do not to print too often. The bloody ink dries if not used for a few days. I am now researching for a printer to use at home where the ink doesn't dry up if used after a month.

I have been using this amazing printer for almost 4 months now. Flawless performance, good print quality, incredible scanner, and most importantly no WiFi setup required whatsoever. I think it's just perfect for home use. Now the ink advantage printers are claimed to be very efficient in saving ink also cartridges are very reasonably priced, you can buy the black and tricolor cartridge at less than 1500rs. Or maybe even less if you buy online. Now on the downside, the plastics used in the printer appear cheap and there is no option for borderless printing. I was confused between Canon MG 3570 and this, Canon print quality is leagues ahead and the overall design of it is better. But then again I don't think many people print photos on a daily basis, and practicality of owning a HP printer outweighs the design factor in Canon, also Canon MG3570 does not support direct WiFi printing and cartridges are costlier. All in all this is an excellent printer, it's worth the money spent, Amazon shipping and packaging are commendable. If you are looking for a budget multifunction printer, look no further.
