This is because I was interrupted at this stage, and thought it was great UI design that it notices a pause and offers additional guidance. You’ll notice that it asked in step 3 whether I needed help.

I entered those, then it used animations to show how to install the supplied black and multi-color ink cartridges. Opening the app, the printer was immediately detected and it asked for my Wi-Fi details.

You need to install HP Smart software on your iPhone to configure the printer. But getting the Tango X up-and-running couldn’t have been easier.
But it definitely ticks the ‘hide your printer away discreetly’ box.Ĭonfiguring wireless devices can sometimes be extremely fiddly and unreliable, and I sometimes find I need to resort to sacrificing a goat as an offering to the Wi-Fi gods. I wouldn’t say it looks like a book, but rather a stylish binder or similar. But it does comfortably sit horizontally on our shelves, and yes, you’d never guess what it is. The bad news is that, at 15 inches in the longest dimension, it doesn’t sit upright on most bookshelves. The idea is that if, like me, you print so occasionally you’re happy to connect the printer to power when you actually need it, it can just sit on a bookshelf the rest of the time and no-one would even know it was there. The combination of fairly minimalist looks and compact size means that the Tango X is already something that can be tucked away somewhere pretty discreetly, but since even small white plastic boxes aren’t particularly attractive, the printer comes with a linen cover – available in a choice of grey or indigo, which is a rather lovely subdued deep blue color. The printer measures around 15 inches wide by 8 inches deep by 3 inches high. On the top is a relatively low-key embossed HP logo, and there’s a light-grey HP Tango X label in smallish letters on the front. The printer is an off-white plastic rectangle with a dark grey base. So I was curious to try the HP Tango X, a compact AirPrint-compatible printer which does its best to disguise itself as a book when not in use … For example, returning packages mostly means printing a label (though there are some exceptions now), and there are still a few companies that insist on etickets being presented in paper form.īut when you only print a handful of pages a month, it doesn’t make sense to have a large printer – nor one that draws attention to itself. While I try to live a paperless life, it’s not quite possible to get away from the stuff entirely.
