An HP printer can cost $50 or $500 and still be the cheaper purchase.
That sounds contradictory until you look beyond the Cyber Monday sticker price.
HP’s 2026 printer range uses three very different ways of paying for printing:
Traditional cartridges in DeskJet, ENVY and OfficeJet Pro.
Refillable bottles in Smart Tank.
Toner cartridges in LaserJet.
Choosing between them matters more over several years than saving another $20 on the printer itself.
That is why CRAOB is approaching HP Cyber Monday 2026 deals differently: first decide how you want to pay for ink or toner, then decide which discounted printer makes sense.
HP’s current U.S. home and home-office catalog spans DeskJet, ENVY, Smart Tank, OfficeJet Pro and LaserJet, with several models now labeled AI-capable.
Here are the HP printers worth watching.
The cheap-printer route: DeskJet 2955
For someone who prints occasionally and simply needs wireless color printing, scanning and copying, the HP DeskJet 2955 is the obvious entry point in HP’s current lineup.
HP positions the 2955 as a home all-in-one with:
- color printing
- copying
- scanning
- wireless connectivity
- mobile printing
- HP AI-assisted print formatting
- a three-month Instant Ink trial
It is also a Dynamic Security-enabled printer.
Its limitations are equally important.
This is not a printer designed for heavy office workloads. It lacks automatic two-sided printing, and HP places the DeskJet family in its lower-volume home category.
The September 2026 benchmark is already $49.99
As of September 15, TechRadar was tracking the DeskJet 2955 at $49.99 on Amazon, down from $89.99.
That gives CRAOB an excellent real-world Cyber Monday reference.
If Amazon advertises the DeskJet 2955 at:
$69.99 — discounted, but weaker than September.
$59.99 — still above an already documented 2026 price.
$49.99 — matches the September benchmark.
Anything lower would need to be verified live before being called a new low.

The family printer route starts with ENVY 6155
Move from DeskJet to HP ENVY 6155 when the printer will handle a broader mix of schoolwork, household documents and occasional photos.
The current ENVY 6155 offers:
- print, scan and copy
- automatic two-sided printing
- 100-sheet input tray
- 2.4-inch color touchscreen
- dual-band Wi-Fi
- borderless photo support
- three months of Instant Ink with qualifying setup
HP’s U.S. store now calls this model ENVY 6155, while older listings may still say ENVY 6155e. HP explicitly identifies the older 6155e page as becoming the 6155 AI-capable model.
That naming difference is useful on Amazon because both versions of the name may appear in search results.
$79.89 is the stronger Amazon benchmark
Amazon sold the ENVY 6155e for $79.89 in March 2026, versus a $159.99 list price.
Recent authorized-retailer pricing has also been around $89.99, showing that large discounts from the $159.99 list price are not unusual for this printer.
That means $99.99 on Cyber Monday would be inexpensive, but not historically exceptional.

For families that actually print photos: ENVY Photo 7975
The HP ENVY Photo 7975 sits in a different position.
It has:
- print, scan and copy
- a 35-sheet automatic document feeder
- automatic two-sided printing
- a dedicated photo-paper tray
- borderless photo printing
- a 2.7-inch touchscreen
- HP 64-series cartridge support
- three months of Instant Ink
HP is still actively selling the 7975 in its current U.S. home-printer lineup.
This makes more sense than an ENVY 6155 when photos and multi-page scanning matter enough to justify the extra hardware.
But its cartridge economics deserve attention.
The 7975 uses one black cartridge and one tri-color cartridge. Independent testing found relatively low cartridge yields, meaning frequent photo or color-document printing can become expensive without a suitable ink strategy.
That is exactly when Smart Tank begins to become more attractive.
Amazon has already reached $140
The ENVY Photo 7975 carries a $239.99 reference/list price, but Amazon dropped it to $140 in March 2026. DealNews described that as the best Amazon price it had seen at the time.
Recent September Amazon tracking has again shown the printer around $139.89, so $140 is no longer a one-day anomaly—it is a meaningful market benchmark.
That makes a future $159.99 Cyber Monday offer much less exciting than its $239.99 crossed-out price would suggest.

The home-office question: do you really need an OfficeJet Pro?
HP’s OfficeJet Pro family makes sense when the printer spends more time handling business documents than family photos.
These machines add faster printing, automatic document feeders, stronger paper handling, Ethernet on selected models and more capable scanning/fax workflows.
HP’s current U.S. OfficeJet range includes the 8125, 8135, 9125, 9135 and wide-format 9700-series models.
The names have also changed slightly.
You may still see 8125e, 8135e and 9125e on Amazon, while HP increasingly lists the current products without the “e” suffix and describes them as AI-capable.
That does not automatically make every e-suffix printer obsolete; check the exact model number and seller.
OfficeJet Pro 8125: don’t overpay for the entry OfficeJet
The OfficeJet Pro 8125 provides:
- color printing
- scanning
- copying
- 35-sheet automatic document feeder
- 225-sheet paper input
- automatic two-sided printing
- wireless printing
- 2.7-inch touchscreen
HP rates printing at up to 20 ppm for black under its specified testing.
Amazon sold the previous/current-equivalent 8125e for $130 in March 2026, and DealNews recorded a previous deal price of $110.
Recent retailer pricing for the newly named 8125 has been around $119.99, against a displayed $179.99 prior price.
That means a $129–$139 Cyber Monday price should not be treated as extraordinary.

OfficeJet Pro 8135 adds fax to the home-office package
The HP OfficeJet Pro 8135 is better suited to a home office that still uses fax or needs a more complete all-in-one workflow.
It offers:
- copy
- scan
- fax
- automatic duplex printing
- 35-sheet ADF
- 225-sheet input
- 2.7-inch touchscreen
- wireless connectivity
HP lists it as a current AI-capable home/home-office model.
Recent U.S. retailer pricing has placed it around $159.99 from $239.99.
Because reliable 2026 Amazon price history for the newly renamed 8135 configuration is limited, CRAOB should not manufacture a lower “target price.”
Use the live Amazon price and compare it with current authorized-retailer pricing when Cyber Monday begins.

OfficeJet Pro 9125 is the stronger small-business step
The OfficeJet Pro 9125 moves further into small-business territory.
HP gives it:
- color print, scan, copy and fax
- automatic two-sided printing
- automatic two-sided scanning
- Ethernet
- wireless printing
- HP Wolf Pro Security
- more robust office paper handling
HP’s current product page specifically notes that the former 9125e is now the OfficeJet Pro 9125, AI-capable.
Recent authorized-retailer pricing for the new 9125 has been around $289.99, versus a displayed $429.99 previous price.
That is more reliable for the current SKU than several price-history pages that accidentally mix the printer name with compatible third-party ink listings.
So for Cyber Monday, CRAOB should verify the actual printer ASIN, not blindly import a price-history result based only on the words “OfficeJet Pro 9125e.”

OfficeJet Pro 9135 is for heavier paper handling
The OfficeJet Pro 9135 moves up again.
HP specifies:
- print, scan, copy and fax
- automatic two-sided printing
- automatic two-sided scanning
- up to 22 ppm printing
- 500-sheet input capacity
- 4.3-inch touchscreen
- Ethernet and wireless networking
- HP Wolf Pro Security
That 500-sheet capacity is one of the main reasons to buy it over the cheaper OfficeJet models.
If you only print a few documents per week, paying extra for that paper handling is unnecessary.
If several people share the printer or you regularly print long work documents, it becomes much more useful.

The cartridge escape route: HP Smart Tank
This is where HP printer economics change completely.
Instead of purchasing small cartridges, Smart Tank printers use refillable ink reservoirs.
HP’s current Smart Tank lineup includes models such as:
- Smart Tank 5100
- Smart Tank 6003
- Smart Tank 7303
- Smart Tank 7603
HP says current 6003-series packages can include enough ink for up to 8,000 color pages or 6,000 black pages, described as up to three years of included ink under HP’s usage assumptions.
That does not mean everyone literally gets exactly three years—the result depends on how much you print.
But it fundamentally changes the running-cost equation compared with a cheap cartridge printer.
Smart Tank 5100: the entry point for refillable HP printing
The HP Smart Tank 5100 is a basic wireless print/scan/copy tank model.
It deliberately leaves out some higher-end conveniences to keep the hardware price lower.
HP lists:
- printing
- scanning
- copying
- wireless connectivity
- refillable tanks
- up to three years of included ink
- AI-assisted print formatting
There is no automatic document feeder on this base model.
September Amazon benchmark: $189.99
As of September 15, TechRadar was tracking the Smart Tank 5100 at $189.99 on Amazon, against a $259.99 reference price.
That makes $189.99 a particularly useful Cyber Monday benchmark.

Smart Tank 6003: pay more for duplex printing
The Smart Tank 6003 adds a feature many buyers will appreciate every week: automatic two-sided printing.
HP also gives it:
- print, scan and copy
- 150-sheet input tray
- 100-sheet output tray
- wireless printing
- refillable ink
- up to 8,000 color / 6,000 black pages of ink included under HP’s stated package yield
It is positioned for families that print a variety of documents in higher volumes.
$269.99 is already a documented Amazon price
Amazon offered the Smart Tank 6003 for $269.99 in July 2026.
Current authorized-retailer pricing has also been around $269.99 versus a $369.99 regular reference.
So a Cyber Monday sale at $299.99 would not be particularly impressive despite being well below MSRP.

Smart Tank 7303: the useful upgrade is the automatic document feeder
The Smart Tank 7303 adds a 35-sheet automatic document feeder, making it much better suited to multi-page scanning and copying.
HP specifies:
- print, scan and copy
- ADF
- automatic two-sided printing
- wireless connectivity
- Ethernet
- up to 15 ppm black / 9 ppm color ISO printing
- up to three years of included ink
This is a more meaningful upgrade than simply paying for a higher model number.
If you scan ten-page documents regularly, the ADF can save real time.
If you mostly print and rarely scan, the cheaper Smart Tank 6003 may make more sense.

Smart Tank 7603: fax, touchscreen and bigger office ambitions
At the upper end of HP’s mainstream tank family sits the Smart Tank 7603.
It combines the refillable-ink model with:
- scan
- copy
- fax
- 35-sheet ADF
- 250-sheet input tray
- 100-sheet output tray
- 3-inch touchscreen
- Ethernet
- wireless connectivity
HP includes up to three years of ink under its usage assumptions.
Amazon has already reached $349.99
Amazon sold the Smart Tank 7603 for $349.99 in July 2026, against a $469.99 reference price.
More recently, authorized U.S. retailers have reached approximately $329.99.
That distinction matters.
A future Amazon Cyber Monday price of $349.99 could legitimately be advertised as $120 off MSRP, yet another authorized retailer has already been $20 lower.

If you mostly print text, stop looking at inkjets
One of the biggest Cyber Monday mistakes is buying a discounted color inkjet when almost everything you print is black-and-white documentation.
For that workload, a monochrome LaserJet deserves consideration.
The HP LaserJet M209dw remains a compact print-only monochrome option with automatic duplex printing and wireless connectivity.
As of September 15, TechRadar was tracking it at $159 on Amazon from a $199 reference price.
For someone printing invoices, contracts, shipping documents or school text pages, the absence of color may be irrelevant.
But note that the M209dw is print only.
If scanning or copying matters, move to an MFP LaserJet.

For a monochrome office all-in-one: LaserJet Pro MFP 3101/3105 family
HP’s current U.S. LaserJet catalog includes models such as the LaserJet Pro MFP 3101sdw and newer 3105sdw variants.
The 3101/3105 class adds:
- monochrome laser printing
- scanning
- copying
- automatic two-sided printing
- wireless connectivity
- business-oriented security features
HP lists current 3105sdw printing at up to 33 pages per minute.
This is a better Cyber Monday direction than an inkjet for a household or small office that consistently prints large amounts of black text but still needs scanning and copying.

Need color laser? Look at the 3201 and 3301 families
HP’s current Color LaserJet Pro 3201dw is a print-only color laser.
HP rates it for printing up to 26 ppm in color and black, with automatic two-sided printing, Ethernet, wireless connectivity and HP Wolf Pro Security.
For scanning and copying, move to the Color LaserJet Pro MFP 3301 family.
The 3301fdw adds:
- copy
- scan
- fax
- automatic two-sided printing
- ADF
- Wi-Fi
- Ethernet
- approximately 26 ppm rated color/black printing
These printers cost considerably more upfront than DeskJet or ENVY hardware, and color toner replacements also need to be included in the ownership calculation.
They make the most sense when fast business-document output and toner convenience matter more than photo printing.

HP’s “AI printer” label needs some context
Many current HP listings now prominently say AI-capable.
That does not mean the printer itself suddenly contains the kind of standalone generative-AI system buyers might imagine.
HP’s current AI printing feature can optimize web pages and emails for printing—for example, removing unwanted page elements and improving print formatting.
According to HP, the feature currently requires:
- an eligible HP printer
- Windows 11
- the HP app
- internet access
HP says the supported AI print features are currently available at no additional cost.
So do not pay significantly more for an HP printer simply because “AI-enabled” appears in the Amazon title.
Paper handling, running cost and print technology remain much more important.
Instant Ink trial does not mean permanently free ink
Many DeskJet, ENVY and OfficeJet Pro models include several months of HP Instant Ink.
The subscription can be convenient because replacement ink is shipped based on plan usage.
But the included trial eventually ends.
For example, HP’s ENVY information states that after the included trial period, a monthly fee applies unless the service is canceled.
So when comparing Cyber Monday bundles, do not treat “three months of Instant Ink included” as though the printer comes with unlimited free ink for its lifetime.
Smart Tank is fundamentally different: you physically receive bottles of ink in the box and refill the printer’s reservoirs.
Dynamic Security is worth knowing about before buying
Many current DeskJet, ENVY, OfficeJet Pro and LaserJet products are labeled by HP as Dynamic Security-enabled.
HP says these printers may use security measures intended for cartridges using new or reused HP chips or electronic circuitry, and periodic firmware updates can affect cartridges using non-HP circuitry.
If you intend to rely heavily on third-party ink or toner, research compatibility with the exact model before buying.
A cheap printer can become a frustrating purchase if your planned supply strategy does not match the device.
Current HP printer names can be confusing on Amazon
There is an additional 2026 issue.
HP has been updating names such as:
ENVY 6155e → ENVY 6155
and
OfficeJet Pro 9125e → OfficeJet Pro 9125
while older stock and Amazon search results may still use the e-suffix.
Do not assume two listings are completely different printers because one includes an “e.”
Instead, check:
- HP product number
- included Instant Ink offer
- HP+ requirements, if any
- seller
- warranty
- exact accessories
- new versus renewed condition
This is particularly important when Amazon search results combine years of HP inventory.
The HP Cyber Monday 2026 price board
These are the verified numbers worth having beside Amazon in November.
| HP printer | Useful 2026 benchmark |
|---|---|
| DeskJet 2955 | $49.99 Amazon, September |
| ENVY 6155e/6155 | $79.89 Amazon, March |
| ENVY Photo 7975 | $140 Amazon, March; about $139.89 recently |
| OfficeJet Pro 8125e/8125 | $110 previous Amazon deal; $130 documented March offer |
| Smart Tank 5100 | $189.99 Amazon, September |
| Smart Tank 6003 | $269.99 Amazon, July |
| Smart Tank 7603 | $349.99 Amazon, July; $329.99 recent authorized-retailer level |
| LaserJet M209dw | $159 Amazon, September |
These are historical/current 2026 reference prices, not predictions for Cyber Monday.
Where reliable U.S. Amazon history is limited—especially on newly renamed models—CRAOB should say that plainly instead of inventing a target.
Which HP printer deals deserve attention first?
Start by deciding what expense you want to minimize.
If you need the lowest possible hardware price, watch the DeskJet 2955.
For family documents, schoolwork and occasional color/photo printing, watch the ENVY 6155.
If photo features and an automatic document feeder matter, the ENVY Photo 7975 becomes more useful—but its cartridge costs make it less attractive for genuinely high-volume printing.
For a home office, move toward OfficeJet Pro 8125, 8135, 9125 or 9135 depending on how much scanning, faxing and paper capacity you need.
If you print enough color pages that cartridge replacement has become annoying, Smart Tank 5100, 6003, 7303 and 7603 deserve much more attention than a cheap cartridge printer.
And if your workload is mainly documents, a LaserJet may be the better answer altogether.
That gives HP Cyber Monday 2026 shopping a much simpler rule:
Don’t buy the printer with the biggest discount. Buy the printing system whose ongoing cost fits what you actually print.
