HP Smart Tank 582 All-in-One Wireless Inkjet Printer (4A8D6A)
The HP Smart Tank 582 All-in-One wireless inkjet printer is a refillable tank printer designed for homes and small offices that print frequently in both colour and mono, and want to move away from the recurring expense of replacement cartridges. It supports print, copy, and scan functions in a compact Eucalyptus-coloured chassis, and additionally includes borderless printing for photo output — a feature that sets it apart from the 580 and 585 in this series. Built-in Wi-Fi and USB connectivity make it compatible with multiple devices across a household or small team without network configuration complexity.

Use Cases
High-Volume Home and Family Printing
The Smart Tank 582 suits households that print frequently across a range of tasks — school assignments, household documents, and colour photo output. With up to 18,000 black pages per fill, a family printing 500 pages each month could run for nearly three years before needing to top up the black tank. Furthermore, the low idle power draw keeps running costs minimal even during periods when the printer sits unused.
Personal Photo and Borderless Printing
The 582 stands out from the 580 and 585 in this series through its borderless printing capability. For instance, printing A4 colour photos or crafted design sheets without white margins produces cleaner, more finished results suited to home creative projects. The 4800 × 1200 dpi colour resolution handles photo-quality output on compatible media, making this model the better choice for anyone who also prints photographs alongside documents.
Mobile-First Households and Shared Devices
The HP Smart app covers setup, scan management, and remote print monitoring from iOS and Android. Apple AirPrint and Mopria compatibility allows any compatible smartphone or tablet to print without additional driver installation. Additionally, Wi-Fi Direct lets a visiting family member or colleague print directly from their device without joining the home network.
Small Teams and Home Office Workers
The printer supports up to three simultaneous users across a shared Wi-Fi connection. Self-healing Wi-Fi maintains reliability without manual reconnection. For workers handling a mix of document printing, contract scanning, and occasional presentation handout output, the Smart Tank 582 covers all three from a single desktop-footprint device.
Considerations
Scanning and Duplex Limitations
- Flatbed Scanner Only — No ADF: The HP Smart Tank 582 includes a flatbed scanner but no Automatic Document Feeder. Scanning multi-page documents requires placing each page manually, one at a time. Users who regularly digitise batches of loose-leaf paperwork should consider a model with an ADF instead.
- Manual Duplex Only: Two-sided printing requires manually flipping and reloading the paper stack. The printer does not return the sheet automatically for the reverse side. This slows double-sided jobs considerably compared to models with automatic duplexing.
- Colour Speed is Slow at 5 ppm: Black printing reaches 12 pages per minute at ISO speeds; however, colour drops to 5 pages per minute. For environments regularly producing high volumes of colour documents, this may create delays during busy periods.
Volume, Connectivity, and Ink Compatibility
- Recommended Volume Has a Ceiling: HP recommends 400 to 800 pages per month. The duty cycle permits up to 3,000 pages monthly, but sustained use above the recommended volume may reduce device longevity. Teams consistently exceeding 800 pages per month should evaluate a higher-duty-cycle model.
- Wi-Fi is 2.4 GHz Only: The printer connects exclusively to 2.4 GHz networks and does not support 5 GHz Wi-Fi. In environments with congested 2.4 GHz bands, connection stability may be less reliable than dual-band alternatives.
- Ink Bottles Vary by Region: Replacement ink bottle part numbers differ between EMEA, North America, Asia Pacific, and Latin America. Buyers should confirm regional availability before purchasing, particularly if sourcing ink from another market.
- Warranty Is Page-Count Limited: The standard warranty expires at whichever comes first — one year or 30,000 pages. High-volume users approaching 30,000 pages within the first year should register promptly to activate extended warranty options.
- No HP Wolf Security: The Smart Tank 582 does not include HP Wolf Essential Security. Users handling sensitive documents who require built-in cybersecurity protection should consider the Smart Tank 585 instead.
