HP 5745 e-All-in-One Printer Review

With wireless networking built right in, the HP OfficeJet 5745 e-All-in-One inkjet printer is ready for a shared home or small office environment. Mobile printing is supported, and the unit can output up to 12 ISO pages per minute, which is solid performance considering its low purchase price. Buyers will also be happy with the prices of HP 5745 e-All-in-One printer ink supplies.

The 5745 is equally useful in a home or a small business environment, with office-centric features like a 25-sheet automatic document feeder for quick scanning of multi-page documents. It also includes traditional faxing, but the option for sending scans via email is more economical, as it saves on OfficeJet 5745 ink and paper.

Users have several choices when it comes to connection options. In addition to the Wi-Fi support, the unit also includes an ethernet port for a direct connection, or a USB 2.0 port for those who only need to connect to a single computer. Mobile printing for smartphones and tablets is included, with support for Apple AirPrint for iOS devices, and cross-platform support with HP's ePrint software, which includes specialized apps for Android and Windows devices as well.

The tricolor printer ink supply is a mixed blessing. It makes the HP 5745 ink cartridges easier to replace, but could lead to wasted ink as well. Prices for OfficeJet 5745 ink cartridges are fairly reasonable. Buyers who want to save a bit more can purchase remanufactured HP 5745 ink at a discount instead of OEM versions at full price.

For an all-in-one inkjet model with so many features and functions, the HP 5745 comes at an impressively low price point. Buyers will love its fast performance, easy connection options, and intuitive control panel, while the ADF and other business features will help them get some serious work done.
