Smart Tank 529 All-in-One Colour Printer |Up to 4000 Black & 6000 Colour Prints I Print,Scan & Copy for Home/Office

A great HP printer. Consumption of ink is reasonable. Prints are clear. Though one point is the loading of the first paper when starting to print. It makes funny noises as if groaning for being summoned to start working ! Overally a good printer.

To begin with, nowhere was it clearly disclosed that this device is incompatible with macOS. I’ll own part of the blame for trusting the brand and the marketplace instead of double-checking, but let’s be honest: this kind of omission would never fly in a more consumer-friendly market. Here, it’s quietly brushed under the carpet because the priority is selling boxes, not serving customers. After realizing the macOS dead end, I configured with a Windows laptop just to make the product usable. What followed was a masterclass in how not to design software. The scanner worked—then didn’t. Reinstall. The printer vanished. Reinstall. Scanning needed a different app. Reinstall. HP Smart stopped working altogether. Reinstall again. This cycle repeated so many times that I lost count. Hours wasted, patience exhausted, and for what? A basic printer-scanner setup that should work out of the box. Eventually, through sheer persistence rather than good design, I managed to get it running. But the real disaster came after a firmware update. The update completely broke the setup. This time, there was no way back. When I tried to download drivers manually, the official support site collapsed into absurdity. Enter the serial number and you’re rewarded with a clean, unapologetic 404 error. No driver page. No fallback. No explanation. Just a dead link—on an official support site. Still hoping for some professionalism, I contacted their so-called “24×7 WhatsApp support.” What followed was almost comical. They asked the usual scripted questions—name, email, model number, purchase date—only to conclude by suggesting a paid technician visit. When I refused and asked a simple, reasonable question—“Where is the driver page I should have access to?”—the response was to visit a service center instead. Immediately after that, they cheerfully asked if there was “anything else” they could help with. That question alone felt like satire. To summarize: incomplete disclosures, broken software, firmware that destroys functionality, missing drivers, non-existent online support, and a push toward paid service for problems created by their own ecosystem. This isn’t just a bad product—it’s a bad experience end to end. Bottom line: don’t buy this. Save your money, your time, and your sanity.

Top class till date, Print quality is upto mark , colour print is bit slow on glossy paper but otherwise it is fine, Mind it before purchasing it is only functional with usb no wifi support. Usb cable is only 1m so you do need extension for it. Another con is the warranty upon checking on hp website shows only for 20 days which upon talkin to hp customer executive was increased based on invoice. I bought it for home use and got a steal deal under 6.6 k with credit and no cost emi reduction.

Lovely printer for everyday use with computer. With ink tank printing it is economical with per page printing cost. HP brand says it all.

Good product

Best printer under 12,000 but only when you have a good 11 gen laptop or computer. Very easy to install and align this printer through it video. It will only work Best with laptop or computer but when you have to use it with phone through USB using otg cable it will frustrate u because ot do not have wifi. Overall good 👍

Very bad product. From day1 it is not functioning properly. Now there is no power. Bought in January. Within 3 months the product is not functioning

Excellent
