Check out this quick view of the features of the HP Smart Tank 7603 All-in-One Printer:
-Ability to print, scan, copy, fax, and its wireless!
-Up to 3 years of vibrant ink included!
-3.0″ Touchscreen display; 250-sheet input tray; 100-sheet output tray!
-Simplify tasks with HP AI!

Mine just arrived!

Many of today’s printers can perform all the functions as stated above, but none in this price range offer up to three years of vibrant ink. OMG, I no longer have to run to Staples every few months to recycle old ink cartridges and buy new ones for hundreds of dollars per year. That cost savings alone makes this printer practically free! Five cartridges that cost between $25-$30. That I replace once every 6-9 months. That’s $260-$390 (that is pre-tax, but I do get $2 for recycling the empty cartridges) every two years, and that is a conservative estimate!

Here is my new ink, so economical!

No more ordering five cartridges multiple times a year!

And an AI in my printer? Uh oh, this old guy ius going to have to join this new world of higher tech!

My husband and I set this up and it is not at all difficult! So first, here is the sample page from the new printer:

And here is the sample page printed from the desktop:

It’s all so beautiful! If only this was around when I was a blogger starting out over 10 years ago when I printed massive amounts of coupons and wrote about that! That’s all digital now, and this will now come in handy because I still love to print out itineraries, appointment info, etc. I love me some hard copy!

Some helpful set-up hints:
Set-up wifi from printer, before connecting to desktop. It’s our first wireless, so now we know.
Uninstall all old printer programs. Our last printer was with a rival (a blog post pre-pandemic!), getting rid of the old and in with the new makes for a smooth transition.
Otherwise, pretty straight forward, start prining and saving!

Use my affiliate link to buy yours today, again, practically free based on the ink savings alone!

The box contains all you need for the perfect and easy set-up: HP Smart Tank 7603 All-in-One Printer; HP 32XL Black Original Ink Bottle; HP 31 Cyan Original Ink Bottle; HP 31 Magenta Original Ink Bottle; HP 31 Yellow Original Ink Bottle; HP Black Printhead; HP Tri-color Printhead; Power cord; Ink caution flyer; Setup guide; Reference guide; Regulatory flyer; and Warranty flyer.

I saw the live action Moana and I loved it. The original animation was terrific, I did work on it as a blogger, and mentioned that in my last review, viewable here.

The difference I found that stood out most clearly was the level of spirituality I felt from this movie. Mother Earth (as represented by Te Fiti, a living island) was damaged and needed to be fixed. Some say this movie followed the animated movie too closely, but that is the point. We are not looking for something new except some songs, and again the journey of Moana and Maui’s relationship and eventual saving of our planet was felt more keenly on a spiritual plane for me, which is what made this movie different and a more emotional experience. Again, I loved it and this is a must own movie!

In Disney’s live-action reimagining of the beloved animated adventure, Moana (Catherine Lagaʻaia) answers the Ocean’s call and, for the first time, voyages beyond the reef of her island of Motunui with the infamous demigod Maui (Dwayne Johnson) on an unforgettable journey to restore prosperity to her people.

Bonus Features*

“Moana” Bonus Features Include:

• Sing Along With the Movie – Sing along with the movie.
• First Light – The journey to making a live-action “Moana” begins. We meet the cast and crew who share what this opportunity means to them and their culture.
• It Calls Me – After an extensive search across the Pacific, the filmmakers find their Moana in Catherine Lagaʻaia, a young performer from a Samoan family of artists living in Australia.
• Whole Family Proud – Rena Owen (Gramma Tala), John Tui (Chief Tui) and Frankie Adams (Sina) reflect on portraying the emotional foundation of Moana’s world — the family and community that shape her journey.
• Motunui – Production designer John Myhre brings together a team of artisans and cultural experts to build the village of Motunui.
• Move As One – Choreographer Tiana Nonosina Liufau returns to the world of “Moana” after contributing choreography to the original animated film.
• Island Fashion – Costume designer Liz McGregor is tasked with translating the iconic costumes from the animated film into live-action.
• Voices Return – Lin-Manuel Miranda reunites with longtime collaborators Mark Mancina and Opetaia Foaʻi to bring the music of “Moana” into live-action, reimagining both the original songs everyone loves and a new song “Along The Way.”
• Song Selections:
  • “Tulou Tagaloa”
  • “An Innocent Warrior”
  • “Where You Are”
  • “How Far I’ll Go”
  • “We Know The Way”
