OK, lot's of reviews in here re trouble with setup. Here's my experience:
Got this printer 40 minutes ago. Set up was SO easy. I didn't look at a manual or have any issues at all - just did what the app and printer touchscreen told me to do. The "1-2-3" thing.
I'm running High Sierra on my Mac laptop and wanted to install it there and not on iphone. Following instructions as they pop up gives you that option. Followed directions, downloaded app, opened it, and continued.
It found and connected to wireless in about 5 seconds.
If you've got the repaid Insta-Ink just have your pin handy. I got it because a friend loves hers and has used it for years with no problems. You have to set up an account somewhere along the line, remember your password because you need it again.
I WILL say it feels kind of worrisome because they keep having you link to different sites to fill out different stuff, and there are a bunch of little sub-steps, but just go along with the flow and keep track a bit and it all comes together. And I'm 70 - pretty handy on my Mac but not particularly good at setting new stuff up. No trouble seeing the touchscreen with my old eyes.
It prints from everywhere on my laptop including ICloud - I don't want to print from my iphone so no idea on that. Computer found printer with no difficulty. Just have to affirm that it's the right one.
Snagged a little on first scan, worked second try, no idea. scanner is working very well. Print quality and (slowish) speed and build (I wouldn't want to, like, drop it) is fine for $99.
Haven't got Insta-Ink yet, so dunno if that will be timely but it's a great deal, actually.
I WILL update if there are problems down the road, but this is a very nice start. I actually bought a cable thinking it might be too much PIA to bother going wireless - meh. Nice not being tethered. Nice little super cheap home computer, very Mac compatible.
Edit - re Insta Ink. I did a LOT of heavy ink printing during the first week of owning this printer. Got my (larger) cartridges exactly on time to replace the spent ones. These will last longer than the ones included with the computer purchase. For me, so far, this whole process has been very smooth and easy. It's probably a good idea to have one extra set of cartridges on hand to cover any delays in shipping that could happen, but I expect to save money with this program. Love this little budget printer.
This installation was done on a late 2009 iMac running High Sierra. Basically, you just plug in the printer and turn it on. Remove the tape on the paper tray and a small piece of protective cardboard from inside the printer. Then go to HP's install site at 123.hp.com. (You can also do part of this directly from the printer if you want, but I think it's easier on the computer).
The install program will prompt you on how to properly install the ink and paper. There are helpful videos. The only thing that tripped me up was when it came time to generate a test print for the scanner. The install prompt said to click "ok" on the printer's tiny touch screen. But all I could see on the screen were prompts for my country and language. But, even though you will have already answered those on the website, answer them again on your printer's touch screen, and then you'll get to the "ok" prompt.
Once you're done, you still will have to tell your iMac - and I assume PC - that you have a new printer. That was easy. The iMac saw it and I just made it the new default printer.
On my iPhone I downloaded the HP Smart app from the Apple App Store. It was easy to print photos from my library. I did get a little confused when I was setting up to print email. It said it would send me a pin to complete the process and never did. Yet, when I checked my iPhone it saw the printer and printed out an email. Go figure. Maybe these instructions were for an older model.
Two other things: You will come to one of those privacy agreements at the end of the set up. Make sure you read them. I opted out of letting them monitor my printer or sending me updates. Also, I did not sign up for HP's instant ink program. It didn't look like it would save me that much money, given both the privacy and flexibility I'd be giving up. The cheapest plan is $3 a month -- $36 a year -- and allows you 100 pages a month. My printing needs are light, but there are times I might go over 100 a month. And replacement cartridges are $27 on Amazon. It just didn't make budget sense and it's allowing a backdoor into some of your most private documents. HP might not care, but a hacker might.
Hope this helps!

Reviewed in Canada on February 10, 2020
It set up easily and connected to my ipad immediately. It says to download an HP app, but you DO NOT need it. It says to go to some HP website to set up the printer, but you DO NOT need to. It says to consider signing up for an ink subscription, but you DO NOT need to. I am glad that despite the printer industry trying to drum up balony business with ink subscriptions that it will still work as normal without one. It asked me if I wanted to update the printer, and I said NO and turned off updates and it still works (since I feel that these companies will use “updates” to make their older models perform horribly so you need to buy a new one. Did I mention my Brother brand printer worked perfectly until I updated it one day, and then it completely sucked?)
The touch screen is a bit lacking. It is tiny and doesn’t even have a keyboard (it converts itself to that old school T9 thing everyone had on cellphones in 2008... where you need to press each button 1-3 times to get the correct letter to pop up). It is okay, but they obviously saved money here.
It doesn’t look like it has a “feeder” system to feed multiple pages into it to copy or scan them. So I guess you would need to do them one by one on the glass scanner surface. But, I very rarely use that feature.
The power cord is fairly short, but still worked for my setup (only just).
Did I mention setup was easy and my ipad connected to it right away (through wifi) to print a page... unlike my old Brother printer ...rest in piece(s).
I haven’t messed with the wifi, but my ipad is connected to a 5ghz network on my router, and I connected the printer to my 2.4 ghz network... and they still immediately found each other. Hmm. I wonder if it was really the wifi or some other technology since they were side by each... I am not 100% sure. Also, the ipad didn’t give me an option to print in only black and white, so it came out in colour. Not sure what’s up with that.
The actual print quality is acceptable, but not great. Perfectly fine for my purposes.
This is perfect for my purpose. I have very low need for a printer because the few things I used to need to print, I would save up and do it in the office. Now that I work from home, this is a perfect compact space saving device. I love the toner subscription service. You get free toner refills sent to you based on the message sent to hp from your printer. You pay based on the number of pages printed per month. If you rarely print like me, it's great: free toner! Plan cost per pg: free for up to 15 pgs per mo, 50 pgs for 3.99, 100 for 5.99, etc... And it prints photos too so I have finally printed some pics that I never used to look at. Very happy
***
Update: May 23, 2020 - This printer is not excellent for printing photos. On regular paper, it leaves lines every 1/4" where the printer stopped as it was printing. On photo paper, sometimes the printer slips, and leaves white gaps on the photos. It works well on b/w text printing on white printer paper. Not sure how much I like this printer now.

update: Feb 26/2021
this printer will not connect. says it is not supported. bullshit product. no notice, just stopped allowing print jobs.
