    Reviewed in India on 21 April 2024
    Style Name: HP DESKJET IA 4278 AIO PRINTER:IN-ENVerified Purchase
    I purchased this yesterday and was excited to see the features for the price point, esp the ADF. Becasue of some of the negative reviews, decided to test all features immediately to decide to return or not.

    The AIO was delivered in the original HP packing and everthing external & internal was intact! The printer was easy to remove and was sealed-wrapped in platic paper. Connected and downloaded HP Smart software as suggested. Followed the instructions to install and everything went smoothly!

    Connectivity
    Both USB & WiFi connected worked perfectly. What I observed that WiFi on its own works fine but sometimes disconnects when the USB is connected. But independently, both are working perfectly!
    Printing
    The print quality was good. I printed on a good and used paper including printing by sending an email over the internet; ot worked fine. Though, I will say that the paper loading mechanism isn't the greatest. You need to open the back and pull it (increases the depth of the printer) and then it works fine. But if you do not set it properly, it remains semi-closed and doesn't detect the paper properly. Otherwise thumbs up. Another point of observation is the print speed is average. Takes a little longer than my other printer. But for 7K, I am happy! One last point on cartridges - The cartridges that come with a printer usually dont last long (for all printers, dont know why). But the next set onwards, they last as promised. So I would not hold this against HP or this printer.
    Scanning
    The prime reason for selecting this printer was the availability of an ADF at this price point! The company claims 35 sheet capacity. I tried with 23 pages and it worked like a charm. This was my point of joy as I scan a lot more than I print. I would say that the ADF seemed smoother than my other 25K printer!
    Printer Display
    Compact and adequate. There are just enough indicators and buttons to keep you informed of whats happening or if there is an error. Not fancy, but very functional.
    Software
    I have never been a fan of the HP print/scan software UI. The scanner has many features like the other ones but I am not paticularly impressed by it. It find the software bloated and not convenenient. But it serves my purpose very well and again at 7K, it is fantastic!

    Positives:
    1) Easy install and use, less weight/handy.
    2) hp app
    3) 3in1 is good (scanner, printer, photocopy)

    Negatives:
    1) Not value for money for occasional users.
    I bought it for school online class purpose to take prints but it’s expensive
    2) Poor customer care -tech support (launched case number but never get call until I tried them)
    3) Printer comes with demo cartridges for only 12 to 15prints (colour may be 12, B&W may be up to 16)as per customer care , we need to buy two cartridges separately (Rs1600),
    4) full cartridges may give less prints as well and no instructions (may be 300 to 450 as per others experience)
    5) Printer papers auto process sucks sometimes, (not often so far),
    6) I tried to take small size print from smartphones but size selection is intermittent and only A4 was option (most of the time)

    My suggestion: if you don’t use printer daily, please don’t buy to save your cartridges cost (cartridges may get clotted if you don’t use ink often)

    Style Name: HP DeskJet 4178(Newer Model)Verified Purchase
    We have always bought HP printers as being top quality but we have made a very bad choice this time. 1) The print quality is poor - faint & slightly blurred. 2) Printing both sides is a nightmare. The user must manually take the 1st page printed and put it back into the paper feed. It is not possible to feed it back on top of any other paper in the feed so you must remove any other paper and put only the one sheet through. It prints and then gives you an error message. Easy to resolve the error but a pain. 3) Printing both sides, multi page document is dreadful. 3 page document - the printer 1st ejects a blank page. It then prints page 2. You must then put in a blank page as, next, it prints page 3 and finally put the page 2 paper back in (the correct way up and way round!) to print out page 1. This is all a nightmare if you do much multi page printing. Anything above 2 pages double sided would be easiest done 2 pages at a time or confusion could easily set in. 4) When printing multi page, page 1 drops down significantly with barely any margin at the bottom of the page. Page 2, however, is right up near the top with a huge margin at the bottom. Don't ask me why! 5) Beware if buying the Amazon "package" as we were sent black cartridge 682 & colour cartridge 678. Both cartridges need to be 682.

    We will give this printer to a local school & buy something else as this product is now, obviously, unreturnable. For us, this has been a complete waste of money.

    While what's written by others regarding ink consumption and expensive maintenance is absolutely true, what has frustrated me most is the service from HP. Since 1 month of raising an issue (printer not printing), the technicians haven't been able to find what the real issue is. Blaming it on the customer that the cartridge you bought is faulty. When a new cartridge also didn't work, they have started being evasive.
    I just wish I had seen the reviews from other folks before making this purchase. Very disappointed with HP.
