As we are making our home smarter and working for us we are also working on teaching the girls how to incorporate technology into their daily lives to help make their lives better. The Little One enjoyed contributing to this sponsored post discussion with HP about the awesome new HP Instant Ink Service.
I need my house to be as smart as possible to help me with the everyday tasks, so that I can spend more time doing the important things in life, like spending time with my family. One thing we started doing last year was to start using a printer that orders it’s own ink! Pretty cool right? Here is a recap after using it for a few months…
The printer is still working out fabulously.
We haven’t had to get new ink for it yet… but seeing as though the heavy printing season is just about here for us I’m excited to know that it’s one less thing I’ll have to worry about. The little one’s Chrome Book was able to connect to the HP Printer easily and she even made her own Valentine’s Day cards for her friends!
After the last post I wrote about HP Instant Ink I received a few questions about how the service works.
It’s really simple. Having your printer order it’s own ink before you even remember that you are getting low on ink was a thing of the future, but it’s here now! When you set up the printer it’s like the regular way you would do it… and then you can sign up for the “Instant Ink” service. There are different plans at different price points depending on how much ink you use.
Once your printer starts to run low and your printer is connected to the WiFi, you will get a shipment automatically of ink as needed. That’s it.
Gone are the days when the kids would print a million things on the printer and I would be surprised when we are out of ink. Not going to happen anymore!
Technology is super important to teach our kids. It;s almost like being illiterate if you don’t know how to use a computer.
We have that printer and we love it, too. It works awesome.
Although they didn’t have this until recently I really could have used this when I was doing all those college papers and again when I had several bookkeeping clients I did in my apartment. I would always run out of ink at the worst possible moment! Now–if they could automate cat food and pick the flavors they think she MIGHT like (which is constantly changing) it would be heaven!
This is really cool. I hadn’t heard about this printer…will have to check it out when I need a new one!
That’s very cool that it will automatically hook you up with your refills. It’s amazing how fast technology changes and becomes easier.
Seriously genius! I always forget to order more ink and I remember at the worst times – like when my kids need to print something for school. This is awesome!
That is the coolest thing. I always forget when ink is low until it is out.
Looks like a really great printer- thanks for sharing!
I love how vivid and bright the colors turned out! This seems like a wonderful printer!

How cool that it orders its own ink! I always forget to buy ink, and before I know it we are completely out and in desperate need to print something LOL! I have always been a fan of HP. My daughter and I both own HP laptops!
That’s a pretty neat idea. That is, as long as it remembers to apply the coupons!
I would love it if the laundry can do itself. Technology is getting close because we were looking for a new washer a month ago, we discovered that they make a 2 in 1 machine. It will wash and dry without you having to move it. 🙂
Great. I am looking at getting a new one.
Love our HP printer and the instant ink program has made things much easier for us. I do a lot of printing… and so does my husband… and the kids have their HP printables. So keeping up with low ink is always a problem. This program has given me one less thing to worry about.
What a great printer. I always find ordering ink falls to the bottom of my “to do list”. It would be so great to have it ordered automatically before I’ve even realized we’re running low on ink.
I haven’t had a printer for a long time, I could really use one though and this one looks really nice!
I love that the printer can order it’s own ink. That is just so convenient. HP comes up with some really cool stuff.
My printer is so old…..we are always running out of ink. So nice to know HP makes these quality printers! Will check them out!!
That is such a great service! I am always running out of ink when I need it the most.
A good printer is hard to come by, but this looks super nice!
Talk about a smart printer! We also have an HP printer at home, won it from a giveaway 2 years ago. 🙂
We have this service and it’s so awesome! I never realize I’m out of ink until it actually happens but now I never have to worry!
So yes, I definitely need a printer that orders it’s own ink. Any change HP is coming up with a dryer that folds it’s own laundry?? No??
This is really awesome! I have not heard about this until now. It would definitely makes things so much easier as many timed we don’t remember to order new ink until it is almost dry.
What an awesome printer! We just replaced ours with an HP!
I hate to run out of ink. It’s always at the most inopportune time too! Instant ink holds a huge appeal!
Honestly that ink ordering is the best, best, best. There’s not much more annoying than running out of ink!
Sounds great. HP products are usually of great quality & of great standards. The printer looks very compact & easy to use as well. I love that we don’t have to worry about the Ink issues any more. My kids are going to love it.
How cool is that? Awesome!
I love the autoshipping feature for ink. I can’t tell you how many times I repeatedly forget I’m running low until I’m out when I desperately NEED it.
I used to have an HP and we replaced it a few years ago. I miss my HP and might go back to it.
I love my HP printer. It is the best printer I have ever had. We made book mark valentine’s this year with it
Love this! I’m actually going to get this feature the next time I buy a new HP printer! Thanks, Heather!
