The Envy 5660's 125-sheet input tray is one of the key factors that limit it to light-duty use even by home-office standards. Connect to a single PC via USB cable instead, and you won't be able to use the print apps or print through the cloud, but you can still print from mobile devices by connecting directly to the printer using Wi-Fi Direct. If you have a Wi-Fi access point on the network, you can also connect through the access point to print from iOS, Android, Windows, Google Chrome, Kindle, and Blackberry smartphones and tablets. If you connect to your network by Wi-Fi, and the network is connected to the Internet, you can print through the cloud. The only connection options for the printer are USB and Wi-Fi, including Wi-Fi Direct.
Among the most popular, according to HP, are crossword puzzles, Disney coloring book pages, and a 7-day menu planner.
In addition, you can scan to a memory card, as well as print from one, and if the printer is connected directly to a network that's connected to the Internet, you can call up HP's print apps on the front-panel touch screen to print content from an assortment of websites.

It also lacks some photocentric features the Brother printer offers, most notably the ability to print from PictBridge cameras and USB memory keys. In particular, the Envy 5660 lacks the Brother printer's fax support and its automatic document feeder (ADF) for scanning, two important features for any office. However, it's not as well-suited for office tasks as the Brother MFC-J870DW, which is our Editors' Choice moderately priced inkjet MFP aimed more at a small or home office than at home use. Like almost any MFP, the Envy 5660 can also serve for light-duty, home-office use or in the dual role of home and home-office printer. It's slow, and its output quality is a touch below par overall, but if the quality is good enough for your needs, and you want its Web-related and mobile printing features, it's worth considering. The Envy 5660 can print through the cloud, connect directly to and print from smartphones and tablets, and print content from various websites without needing a computer.
Targeted primarily at home use, the HP Envy 5660 e-All-in-One ($149.99) goes a step beyond the basics, adding features that focus on mobile printing and the Web to the more common capabilities for an inkjet multifunction printer (MFP).
