The HP DeskJet 2842e is robustly built and not prone to fingerprints. It is averagely large and fits well on a desk. At the top there is a paper feed, below that is the scanner compartment and on the left side we have a small display with the control buttons. The display is only black and white and we can use the buttons to copy or cancel prints. The printing is quiet and fairly fast and the quality is excellent. The colors are strong and everything is printed nicely and sharply. Text is easy to read and the DeskJet can also handle photos and color gradients without any problems. Scanning is done at 1200 x 1200 dpi via the scanner tray and takes about 15 seconds. The quality can also be described as good. It is best to copy directly using the control buttons on the printer. The text and font are still OK. Images and photos, on the other hand, lose a lot of quality. Unfortunately, there is no batch processing option. This printer uses its standard 305 printer cartridges in black and multicolor. The normal cartridge can print up to 120 pages in black and up to 100 pages in color. It comes with a WLAN interface for wirelessly executing print jobs from the network and uses little power. When HP DeskJet 2842e is connected via WiFi, it can be controlled on the computer or via the smartphone app. An HP account is also required to be able to use all functions.
