HP OfficeJet Pro 7740 Wide Format All-in-One Monochrome Printer with Wireless & Mobile Printing (G5J38A)

Been looking at A3 printers for ages to mainly print maps for walking/cycling, trips away and general home office work. I looked at and compared many different makes and models, but this one seemed to keep coming up the best value and with good reviews. Out of the box, it's obviously big and lumpy, but I expected it to be, so not a massive problem and I wanted separate drawers for A3 or A4 paper to save faffing around, but makes it bigger. Setting it up was an absolute breeze and very painless. From switching it on, loading ink, a quick run through settings, setting up Air Print and printing the first document was literally less than 10 minutes! The speed of printing; even double sided is fast and the quality of printing on paper or photo is brilliant, and a proper play with the settings gives you easy options for sizing, layout etc. A big concern was printing costs, as the slow nasty Epsom thing I had before cost a small fortune in ink over the years, which is I know, how they make money on cheap printers. In the first few months I went berserk with this, printing off dozens of OS maps, documents, photos etc, and the ink colours are only now showing low. But I have just got replacements for less than £80 which should last me a long time now. All in all, very impressed and would highly recommend.

Meets expectations fully. Quite reliable

To replace my HP deskjet I carefully researched this printer and decided out of todays options this is the best. Order process was easy and speedy. The seller was really great, I had an issue over my delivery Availability due to work, they were fantastic pulling the delivery date forward ensuring I had the printer in only 2 days keeping me informed at all times. The all in one printer is brilliant - I read that the bottom (A3) tray remains protruding but to me, that really is no issue. I’ve simply cut a piece of card to cover the gap/exposed tray. Simply to ensure no dust gets into the machine. The printer is big but, I was pleasantly surprised that it’s slightly shorter in length than the one it’s replaced. The quality all round is superb from a great seller. So all highly recommended.

Bought this to complement our Laser A4 B&W printer for use with drawings and other 3D CAD and ArchiCAD work. The quality of the output is perfectly fine, ensure you use good quality paper - cheap paper = cheap results!. By the time you've opened the capture tray, the A3 tray etc the overall dimensions are actually larger than those stated. Furthermore, there are photo's/videos online depicting an A3 tray flap to "finish off" the overall look of the assembled unit. Ours doesn't have this, so it all looks a little unfinished. see photo. So, being an AirPrint printer we've simply shoved the printer in our small storeroom and take some exercise when printing as our store room is upstairs!. Generally though, a good purchase!

Just doesn’t work well with photo paper, can’t pick it up from the tray and tells you there is a paper jam (which there isn’t).

Great printer. Very easy to set up. Works wirelessly.

Excellent print quality Print from app. Scan and print double sided print. A bit big but does both a3 and a4.

Its a printer and it prints. If only it was that simple. Firstly it is the size of a small country. I knew that when I bought it but I still find it ridiculous the size and weight of this monster. It replaces a Canon one that died, and does exactly the same job. The Canon printer was a third of the size. Remarkably, given the size, the A3 paper tray still sticks out even further. Nevermind, it prints fine. The ink costs a fortune, but lets ignore that. Why does it insist on accessing the wifi? I can't see any reason for this except for the manufacturer to gather further data on our usage. From a user point of view it just adds to the complication of setting it up and using it. You would think for such a "clever" machine it could do the simple jobs with ease? Try asking it to print on A3 and it will print in A4, despite having two trays, one for A4 one for A3. Try cancelling the print job half way through and it will throw a wobbly. Then you need to switch it off and start again. Printing a few sheets shouldn't be this difficult! Its a poorly designed and annoying machine to use, but it was the only option I could find for A3. Would I buy HP again? Not very likely.

But the cartridges are way too expensive . Just for a use of a3 size scanner

I use this printer for our home printer and for working with my watercolor paintings. Jim addition to printing remail, invoices, instructions, menus and the like, I often print and SCAN prints that are ledger sized (that's 11"x17" sized paper). The scan bad for that sized printer makes this unit a monster! I have room in my office, so it's not a problem. But it's a presence!! The Good Points: I found the setup quite ready. It connected to my network like a champ. It connected to our Android phones, our iPad, and my Raspberry Pi (Debian based Linux .. via CUPS) systems without any problem. Print and Scan work wonderfully. Copy can do double sided to double sided output without any problem. The printer comes with two paper trays. Each can hold you ledger sized paper. I have the top main tray filled with letter sided paper and the bottom treat filled with ledger paper. The printer can automatically select the appropriate tray based on the document size you print. It can also automatically fit the document to the paper. So if you print a letter into the ledger sized paper the document is increased in size to fit there paper. That is a seeing that can be adjusted to fit your needs. It has quite extensive FAX capabilities. Though I looked at them, I do not use this as A FAX system, though it's good to know it's an option. It connected via Google to "the cloud". I can print to this printer, even when I'm not using my home WiFi. I often use this feature when I'm away from my home network. HP includes an e Print feature, where I can email a document to the printer. And if course, this and the cloud printing feature can be locked down so only I can use these features to my printer. But I can add authorized users. So I can allow my son in Europe to print into my printer. Cool! HP includes WiFi-Direct printing. That is, I can print directly from my phone without paying through the router. I don't use this feature. However, I looked at it and found it sounds, usable and can be secured. The print cartridges are reasonably priced. Not the best, but not bad. I use the XL version of the cartridges. They cost less per sheet. Also there are four ink cartridges. Thus, if I run out of Cyan, I only need to purchase Cyan. The system can isometrically order ink, if the ink is marked as low. I personally prefer to order on my own. But it's a good feature. The online web management menus are very helpful. The web interface includes management, maintenance, and reporting. It's quite extensive. The Downside: Extending a print tray to ledger sized paper takes some time and effort. It's not very obvious. But keep at it. It does work. The phone based scan only does single sided scanning. It can copy double to double. It should be able to scan to my phone double to double. Overall: It's a great printer. It's sounds intimidating. But once you set it, you can forget it. My wife never printed to the old printer. But she prints to this all the time. The difference? Once you set the options, you don't have to fiddle with options. It's an easy printer to use and live with. I highly recommend this printer if you need to print and scan ledger sized paper.

La impresora como tal es hace su servicio, no es de mucha calidad la impresión pero puede servir para el precio que tiene. Es la segunda que tengo y las dos con el mismo problema de cabezal. Se la han llevado a reparar (tiene 4 meses la impresora) y llevan casi dos meses con ella. Este vendedor AGEM-CZ tiene una posventa como si no existiera. Son checos con lo que eso conlleva en cuanto a tiempos de envíos, mensajes traducidos no se si por google o algo peor, nada empáticos con los clientes, un desastre. Una estrella y de milagro.

Très bon matériel
