This highlighted another problem with the ePrint system. But after cropping it to 560 x 550 pixels the image would not print when sent via Gmail. The original 2,700 x 3,650 pixel image printed fine when sent as an attachment via Gmail. PDF, Word documents, GIFs and most JPEGs printed fine, but we ran into a weird problem with one particular JPEG. To try out the email printing we sent a few different types of attachments to see how it fared. The printer detected my home network (the B110 boasts 802.11b/g/n) with no problems and with the printer’s email address now in hand I was able to log onto the ePrint Center and set up the printer to receive ePrint jobs. With that out of the way I was able to soldier on. So, if you’re having any problems with print quality right off the bat, I would recommend persevering with a few head cleans until the heads align and printing properly before progressing. Since I had foolishly forged ahead, this required a bit of hunting around the printer’s menus. Naturally, I had this problem.Īfter cleaning the heads a couple of times I was back on track and was able to print out the printer’s email address.

Mistake! Since the printer prints the sheet with the all-important printer code and spam unfriendly email address that are required to sign up at HP’s ePrint Center in color, there’s a chance you won’t be able to read the information if your printer isn’t printing in full color. Since the printer only warned that this would mean I wouldn’t be able to print at full resolution I decided to continue with the setup and worry about aligning the heads later on. This trend continued with the heads of the B110 failing to align properly on initial startup. Still, the menu was fairly straight forward and guides users through the set up process pretty well.However, I’m not sure if it’s the altitude I’m at or some other mysterious environmental factor, but I seem to have a bad history with printer heads. HP calls it a “Touchsmart frame” which means only the predefined buttons around the outside of the frame are touch sensitive – these will also only be illuminated if they are selectable for the currently displayed menu. This meant relying on the B110’s 2.36-inch (5.9cm) LCD display, which unfortunately isn’t as intuitive as a full touchscreen display. Since HP is pushing the wireless capabilities of its new printers we thought we’d try setting up the B110 without connecting via USB and see how things went. No complaints there, but nothing to write home about either. Upon unboxing the B110 looks like your average All-in-One (AIO) printer with a nice piano black finish. HP has thought to wrap the printer in a reusable cloth bag for carting home the groceries along with a smaller toiletries-size cloth bag for storing printer accessories – spare ink I’m guessing. There’s the standard chunks of polystyrene and liberal lashings of tape that need to be removed when extracting the printer from its box. The B110 doesn’t break the mold in the looks or packaging department. After spending a bit of time with the HP Photosmart Wireless e-All-in-One Printer B110 we’re still hopeful for the future of cloud-based printing, but it seems there are still some kinks that need to be ironed out.
At the time we were hopeful that the company’s ePrint technology which, amongst other things, allows users to print documents by sending an email, would help cut down on printer hassles stemming from pesky printer drivers.
