Printing The HP OfficeJet Pro 9110b prints using inkjet technology, which sprays liquid ink onto the paper from a moving head. It has very good text quality, though not quite as good as the best printers. It's on the slow side for text, 5 pages took 23 seconds, costing 3.4 cents per page. Its color graphics printing is very good for reports, newsletters and web pages, costing 18.8 cents per page. It prints very good photos on glossy paper that most people would be happy with. It has auto-duplex printing to print both on sides of the page. Individual cartridges for each color let you change only the ones that are empty. The capacity of the main paper tray is 250 sheets, a generous amount.
Scanning and Copying This is a single-function printer. It lacks a built-in scanner/copier.
Controls and Display The printer has a color display screen 2.7-inch diagonal size, touch-input capability, and can be tilted.
Connectivity and Networking It can print documents via USB, USB thumb drive, Ethernet and WiFi. We found it relatively easy to setup the WiFi connection on this printer.
Cost of Ownership and Ink When this page was last updated, the printer's purchase price was about $180, low for a regular cartridge inkjet printer. Printing uses up ink and the costs add up over time. This printer uses four (4) cartridges. When the ink runs low, you replace the empty cartridge. The inks we used in testing were the HP 936 BK, 936 C, 936 M, and 936 Y cartridges—at the time, the prices were $42, $27, $27 and $27 respectively. We estimate each cartridge of ink to last at least 3 years—a long time—following a typical monthly printing amount of 15 text and 5 graphic pages. After 2 years of typical use, we estimate your total equivalent cost to be $261—low for a inkjet. The estimated yearly cost is $41, which is low for a inkjet type of printer. The theoretical total cost after 5 years is $383. The printer uses up very little space.
