You won't get fancy features like wireless printing, duplexing or scanning, but if you don't need all the frills of an all-in-one printer, the HP DeskJet 1010 offers solid print performance and quality at an unbeatable price in a compact package.
Few companies still make single-function home inkjet printers, and it's nice to see that HP hasn't given up on this segment of the market. The DeskJet 1010 also competes with multi-function home printers priced under $100 (63, AU$129), including the Wi-Fi enabled Canon PIXMA MX472 ($49, 31, AU$63), the HP Envy 4500 e-all-in-one ($64, 40, AU$83) and the Epson Expression XP-420 small-in-one wireless printer ($69, 43, AU$89).
The DeskJet 1010 is the base model in HP's expansive printer lineup. Wireless printing is available on the HP DeskJet 2540 ($59, 37, AU$76), but that feature essentially doubles the cost of the DeskJet 1010.
Setting up the DeskJet 1010 is a simple affair. Once I took the printer out of the box, I lifted the big black plastic panel on the top of the printer, which serves as the top-loading sheet feeder. Prints will come out the front, and a thin lip at the top front can be pulled down for the output tray.
After the document output tray is pulled down, there is a second plastic door. Pulling down on the notch on the plastic opens the door, and from there you can install the ink cartridges. HP includes a standard black and a tri-color cartridge with the printer. Replacement cartridges, if purchased as a combo set, cost $28 (18, AU$36). Because the printer ships with ink, this essentially brings the cost of the DeskJet 1010 to approximately $2 (1, AU$3).
