Spotted the HP Officejet Pro 8138e on clearance at Costco, and if you’ve been limping along with an old printer or setting up a home office, this one’s worth a look. The iconic asterisk means this all-in-one isn’t getting restocked, so timing matters here.
This is HP’s Officejet Pro series, which sits in that sweet spot between budget inkjets and heavy-duty office machines. The 8138e handles printing, scanning, and copying with wireless connectivity and HP’s Instant Ink compatibility, plus it’s got wireless direct printing so you can send documents from your phone without wrestling with your WiFi network.
Here’s the honest take: all-in-one printers at Costco clearance can be legitimately good deals, especially if you’re comparing against full retail at office supply stores where these machines often run significantly higher. The “e” designation means it comes with HP+ (formerly Instant Ink trial), which is either a money-saver or a mild annoyance depending on how you feel about ink subscriptions. If you print regularly and the clearance price undercuts typical sale prices, this could work out well.
Why clearance? HP cycles through printer models faster than most people cycle through actual ink cartridges, so this is likely making room for a newer model number that’ll do essentially the same thing with maybe one extra button. Inventory on clearance printers typically doesn’t last more than a week or two since there’s usually only a handful per warehouse. If you’re seriously considering it, don’t wait until your next Costco run.
If you’ve been putting off replacing that dinosaur printer that requires a blood sacrifice to scan anything, this clearance find might be your sign. Are you team “buy ink by the cartridge” or team “let the ink subscription handle it”?
