#HP 5520 PDF#
When we used our Droid X to print the same 2-page color PDF using Wireless Direct, the 5520 received the file and printed it out in 44 seconds.
#HP 5520 PASSWORD#
Users can also see what their 5520's wireless name and password are by tapping "Display Password" or "Display Name" (these can be changed through the embedded Web server). Enabling Wireless Direct on the 5520 is as easy as tapping a few buttons on the control panel. HP also equipped the Photosmart 5520 with Wireless Direct, which allows Wi-Fi devices such as laptops and smartphones to send files directly to the printer without using a wireless router. We printed a 2-page black-and-white Word document in just 32 seconds, compared with 56 seconds using Kodak's Document Print App, and 2 minutes and 40 seconds using Epson's iPrint app a 2-page color PDF printed in 43 seconds (0:54 using Document Print App, 0:58 using iPrint) and a 4 x 6 color photograph printed in 54 seconds (0:54 using Document Print App, 1:04 using iPrint). Becaue the app automatically detects compatible HP printers, it proved easy to use with our Toshiba Excite 10 LE - we just tapped on the document we wanted to print, selected ePrint Home & Biz from the "Complete action using" list, and then "Print." An options menu lets you change the printer, paper size, print quality, color mode, number of copies and paper source, as well as enable or disable two-sided printing.ĮPrint Home & Biz proved faster than competing apps as well.
#HP 5520 ANDROID#
HP also offers an app called ePrint Home & Biz that lets you print straight from your Android or iOS device. By comparison, the Epson WorkForce 845 and Kodak ESP 3.2, which also offer print-by-email capabilities, printed the same files more slowly - 0:58, 2:15 and 2:40 for the Epson, and 1:01, 1:02 and 1:26 for the Kodak. A 4 x 6 color photo took 2 minutes and 16 seconds. Using ePrint, the 5520 took 38 seconds to print a 2-page black-and-white Word document that we mailed using Gmail and 48 seconds to print a 2-page color PDF. Although HP recommends that documents be sent from a PC to preserve formatting, the 5520 can print files from any Internet-connected device, including smartphones and tablets. Like the Photosmart eStation C510, the 5520 features HP's ePrint technology, which allows users to send documents, photos and PDFs to their printer's email address (created online when the 5520 is first activated), without needing to use a PC as an intermediary. In all, it took less than 10 minutes to get the 5520 up and running, with a minimal amount of human input.
#HP 5520 INSTALL#
The setup then proceeded to automatically install the necessary drivers on our notebook and sync up with the printer.
#HP 5520 SOFTWARE#
After placing the installation disk in our notebook's optical drive, the software asked us if we preferred to set up the printer wirelessly or using a USB cable (we chose the wireless option). Installing the necessary software on our PC was also a cinch. We just plugged in the printer, selected the language on the touch-screen control panel and followed the on-screen instructions (helpfully demonstrated using pictures, making it easy to comprehend in any language). Setting up the Photosmart 5520 was incredibly simple. AC and Ethernet ports are found on the back of the printer. To the left of the tray, a small hatch opens up to reveal ports for a memory stick duo or an SD card (64MB max size). As one would expect with an all-in-one, the scanner sits above the control panel, beneath the printer's plastic lid. 10 envelopes or 30 sheets of photo paper, while the output tray can hold up to five envelopes or 10 sheets of photo paper. The input tray also supports up to 40 4 x 6 cards, five No. The touch screen itself was very responsive.īelow the control panel are an 80-sheet input tray and a 15-sheet output tray. You'll also find Copy and Scan buttons, as well as Quick Forms, which lets you print pre-made calendars, checklists and notebook paper. Pressing the Apps button presents Photosmart-specific apps designed to let you print Sudoku puzzles, daily news and other items without a PC. The touch screen also houses buttons for Photo, which lets you print pictures directly from a memory card and reprint photos using the flatbed scanner).
