ePrint feature enables wireless printing by e-mail with online job monitor; detachable Zeen tablet.
The HP Photosmart eStation C510 is an extension of HP's efforts to include Web-connectivity across its line of printers. With a detachable 7-inch Android-powered tablet that lets you surf the Web, browse Facebook, and access the Barnes & Noble eBook store, the device is clearly targeted at the home user who values the printed page and instant-on Internet access for what HP calls "snacked-on" content: things like e-mail, RSS feeds, quick snapshot photo edits, and more. While we value HP's effort to untether the printer from a computer, the C510 is pricey at $399 and the device is marred by a cumbersome connection process, and a finicky, underwhelming tablet. With Google and other services offering their own cloud-based printing solutions, you'll enjoy better functionality and more entertainment with a dedicated tablet PC and a standalone all-in-one printer.
Design
The C510 comprises a base unit and the corresponding 7-inch touch-screen monitor HP calls the Zeen that acts as a control panel for the printing functions. The Zeen sits in a dock that doubles as a recharging station, and the right side of the printer is blank except for a small power button and two Wi-Fi status LEDs on the right side.
The printer alone is similar to HP's other multifunction models, with a
scanner lid on top, a five-ink cartridge bay hidden inside, and a dual
paper tray below with separate drawers for full-size paper and smaller
sheets of photo paper. hp photosmart estation
