## Review summary

The HP Print Service Plugin is praised for ease of use and mobile printing, with some noting improved connectivity and beneficial HP Smart integration. However, many reviews highlight reliability and connectivity problems, intermittent printing failures, and quality issues. Users also dislike having to manage multiple apps and ongoing costs/privacy concerns, and some report slow performance. Overall, it’s workable for some but reliability, cost, and consistency are common pain points.

### Pros

- Easy to use and user-friendly
- Supports mobile/remote printing
- Connectivity has generally improved over time
- Integrates with HP Smart ecosystem (when combined)
- Printing works well when functioning / prints well at times

### Cons

- Frequent reliability issues and prints often fail or stop working
- Printer/phone connectivity problems and disconnections
- Requires multiple apps and incurs extra costs (monthly fees) and raises privacy concerns
- Printing quality is inconsistent (blurry text, cut-off edges, half-page prints)
- App performance issues like loading delays and slow operation
