Performance
The best part about the HP DeskJet 2622 is its compatibility: Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, XP SP3 or higher (32-bit only), Win Server 2008 R2 and higher, Mac OS X v10.12 (Sierra), v10.11 (El Capitan), v10.10 (Yosemite). That means those listed devices will have access to its 4800 x 1200 print resolution.
That alone makes it a great choice for someone who needs a quick printing job, not necessarily a workhorse. For example, occasionally downloading and printing a photo from social media. And its wireless printing is also a nice touch. However, it does not support automatic double-sided printing.
Design
The HP DeskJet 2622 All-in-one Printer brings out all the stops you would want in a compact printer. For starters, it’s really easy to move, weighing only 7.55 pounds. Next, its dimensions are small, only coming in at 16.74 x 11.97 x 5.87 inches. What’s great is the input and output trays can be folded away when you aren’t using it, adding to its compact nature. Because of how small it is, you won’t have a hard time finding a space for it. It isn’t as bulky as a Brother HL-L2300D.
Value
Given the fact that the HP DeskJet 2622 is really cheap, and can print, scan, copy, and fax—you are getting a killer deal here. All that for $50? That is the mark of excellent value. Since this printer works well as a personal printer, you won’t have to spend a lot of money on HP 65 ink cartridges (about $15 a pop). And it’s Instant Ink eligible! Not even the HP OfficeJet 3830 comes with Instant Ink without paying extra. To paint a better picture, the HP OfficeJet 5255 is also an all-in-one, but costs seven times as much.
HP DeskJet 2622 Review Wrap Up
The HP DeskJet 2622 cements itself as a fantastic all-in-one printer, thanks to its solid performance, and ability to scan, copy, and fax aside from printing. It doesn’t have automatic double-sided printing, but its pricing is so cheap that it can be overlooked. It also doesn’t hurt that it’s accepted by a large number of devices.
