Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

My five-star rating is somewhat tentative, because I just got the printer up and running yesterday. I did a lot of research, and read more than a few online printer reviews. I narrowed my choices down to the HP OfficeJet Pro 9025e and the Epson EcoTank ET-4760. I was replacing an Epson printer that served me well. I read about the pros/cons of EcoTank printers. Bottomline, they're cheaper with regard to ink, but ink drying can be a problem if you don't print frequently (and I don't print much anymore.) I liked the Epson touch-screen better, especially the one on my outgoing printer. (Additionally, IMHO printers are not visually attractive objects, worthy of display, so I tend to like black which seems to make them more invisible. The HP is not available in black.) The reviews on the HP were sparse. I then discovered that the ET-4760 has been around since July 2019 and the HP was introduced in March 2021. Obviously, in the world of technology things can change a lot in two years. I was really on the fence with the two printers, so I basically held my breath and bought the HP. The only hiccup in the unpacking/set-up process was getting the printer to join my wireless network. I tried twice using the phone app. (iPhone XS/iOS 14.4.2), and once using my laptop (MacBook Pro 2019/macOS Big Sur) to no avail. I started to get worried. However, I was then prompted to use the "Wireless Wizard" on the printer itself. I needed to enter my password manually on the printer touchscreen. Success! All in all, it was a lot less painful than I expected. I registered with HP+ but vetoed, at least for now, the "Instant Ink" program. I'm printing from my laptop, my desktop (Mac Mini 2011/macOS High Sierra), and my phone without any issues. Perhaps, I've had a succession of noisy printers, but I am not finding this printer to be noisier than any of the other printers that I have owned. The copies are as good as my previous printer, which is as good as I need them to be (and for a printer, it doesn't look that bad...). My first impression is that the HP 9025e is worthy of five stars at this point. Longevity will be the real test...
