Quick view

The HP DeskJet 2842e is an entry-level multifunction inkjet printer designed primarily for home and small office usage. It supports printing, scanning, and copying functionalities with wireless connectivity options including Wi-Fi and USB interface. This model utilizes HP’s thermal inkjet technology for reliable color and black-and-white output. The printer supports a maximum print resolution of up to 4800 x 1200 optimized dpi for color prints and up to 1200 x 1200 rendered dpi for black and white documents. The device provides automatic document feeder support for quick multitasking and is compatible with HP Smart app for mobile printing. It supports media sizes up to A4 and has a paper input capacity of approximately 60 sheets, fitting compact office spaces efficiently.

The device operates with the HP 305 ink cartridges, available in both standard and high yield options, to balance quality and running costs. It offers various print speeds, roughly 7.5 pages per minute (ppm) for black-and-white and up to 5.5 ppm for color. The DeskJet 2842e supports standard connectivity protocols, including wireless direct printing and compatibility with AirPrint and Mopria for easy cross-platform printing.

The HP DeskJet 2842e offers user-friendly wireless printing capabilities that enhance convenience in digital document handling. Its compact design makes it ideal for limited workspace environments. The multifunction functionality allows users to perform scanning, copying, and printing with a single device reducing office clutter. Print quality is improved by high resolution output support, suitable for basic photo and document production. The compatibility with HP Smart app provides easy remote control and mobile printing convenience. Furthermore, energy efficiency helps reduce power consumption during operation and standby.

The printer has a relatively low paper tray capacity at around 60 sheets, limiting bulk print jobs without frequent refills. Print speeds are moderate, not suited for high-volume printing demands. The absence of an automatic duplexer requires manual paper handling for double-sided printing which can reduce productivity. Ink cartridge life and cost may be higher compared to laser printer alternatives, increasing operating expenses. The scanner resolution is sufficient for basic documents but lacks advanced features like high-definition photo scanning. Its connectivity options, while including wireless, do not support Ethernet for wired network environments.
