However, getting the print from e-mail to actually work is pretty hit-or-miss. You can customise the e-mail address and restrict the allowed senders to approved addresses so random people can't send print-jobs to your printer. Secondly, the printer has the ability to receive print jobs via e-mail.


I played around with the settings but never really got it working to my satisfaction. I haven't tested the scan to folder option or the USB print.A few things to note: I attempted to enable the in-built firewall but that caused all my connections to the printer to drop. Scanning to e-mail took a bit of set-up but it's working now. And this printer can do lots.One of the main reasons I purchased the 8720 was to AirPrint from my iOS devices this works very well. However, the complexity is a reflection on the fact that the 8720 is designed for a home-office and personally I like the level of control you can have over pretty much everything the printer can do. I find this fun but it's not everyone's cup of tea. If you have a hidden SSID, you will have to un-hide it temporally so that the printer can see it and connect.For the more technically inclined, there are LOADS of configuration options I spent the better part of an afternoon tweaking and customising things. In fact, if you have it connected to an Ethernet cable, wi-fi doesn't work. You can also perform the basic set-up using the HP Smart app on your mobile device.The printer works best over wi-fi. Once the printer does it's initial configuration, you need to be on-line and connected to the HP site (and the printer) in order to finish the set-up. You will need to have the printer connected to the Internet and your computer standing by. It's also tall and has a lid that opens so make sure you don't squeeze it into a tight space.The set-up process is not all that straightforward. I've had the 8720 for a few weeks now and so far, the performance has been excellent.The printer has a fairly large footprint and will take up a good portion of a desk or small table.
