HP OfficeJet Pro 8132e All-in-One

Manufacturer: HP

The HP OfficeJet Pro 8132e is a colour inkjet all-in-one printer designed for office use, covering print, copy, and scan tasks from a single unit. It features a two-tray paper input system with a combined capacity of 260 sheets, an automatic document feeder for multi-page scan and copy jobs, and a flatbed scanner for individual documents. Duplex printing is supported automatically, reducing manual intervention for double-sided documents, and borderless printing is available for suitable media types.

Print speeds reach 20 pages per minute in black and 10 in colour, with a recommended monthly volume of 800 pages and a maximum duty cycle of 20,000 pages. The scanner operates at up to 1200x1200 mm² and captures colour images at 24-bit depth, with PDF output supported directly. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 5, Ethernet, Bluetooth 5, Wi-Fi Direct, AirPrint, and Mopria, alongside two USB ports and a dedicated smartphone app. The printer is fitted with a 2.7″ touchscreen, 512MB of onboard memory, a fax function at 33.6 kbps, and carries a top energy efficiency rating, with standby power consumption of just 1.15W.

Pros
  • Automatic duplex printing is supported, allowing double-sided output without manual page flipping
  • The dual input tray system holds up to 260 sheets in total, reducing how often paper needs to be refilled during longer print runs
  • Wireless connectivity covers Wi-Fi 5, Wi-Fi Direct, AirPrint, Mopria, and Bluetooth 5, giving flexible printing options across different devices and platforms
  • Direct-to-PDF scanning is available alongside a 24-bit colour depth and a maximum scan area of 1200 x 1200 mm², making it a capable document digitisation tool
  • The printer carries a top energy efficiency rating and draws only 1.15W in standby, keeping idle power consumption very low
  • Borderless printing is supported, extending its usefulness beyond standard document output to edge-to-edge media
Cons
  • Colour print speed is limited to 10 pages per minute, which may slow down workflows that regularly involve large colour document batches
  • The output tray holds only 60 sheets, meaning it fills quickly during longer print jobs and requires more frequent attention
  • OCR is not supported, so scanned documents cannot be converted to editable or searchable text without separate software
  • There is no external memory slot or USB document synchronisation, limiting options for direct local file access
  • The unit weighs 8,000 g and occupies a substantial volume of over 36,000 cm³, making it less suited to constrained desk spaces
  • The recommended monthly print volume is 800 pages, which may be insufficient for busier office environments with higher regular output demands
Who is this for?

The HP OfficeJet Pro 8132e is well matched to small offices or home office environments that need a reliable all-in-one device for everyday document handling. The combination of automatic duplex printing, a 260-sheet dual input tray, and a built-in ADF makes it practical for users who regularly process multi-page documents without wanting to manage paper manually at each step. Its broad wireless connectivity — covering Wi-Fi 5, AirPrint, Mopria, and Wi-Fi Direct — suits mixed-device workplaces where printing from phones, tablets, and computers is a routine requirement, and the top energy efficiency rating alongside 1.15W standby consumption makes it a sensible fit for environments where the printer sits idle for extended periods between jobs.

Who is this NOT for?

Users with consistently high monthly print volumes will find the 800-page recommended monthly limit and 60-sheet output tray restrictive, as both point toward lighter rather than sustained heavy-duty use. Workflows that depend on OCR to produce editable or searchable documents from scans cannot be handled natively, making this printer unsuitable for document-heavy environments where text extraction is a standard step. Similarly, the 10-page-per-minute colour print speed is a limiting factor for users who frequently print large colour documents under time pressure, and the absence of an external memory slot rules out direct walk-up printing from portable storage.

Final Verdict

The HP OfficeJet Pro 8132e All-in-One is a competent and energy-conscious inkjet device that covers the core needs of small office and home office users with a practical mix of print, copy, scan, and fax capabilities. Its broad wireless connectivity alongside automatic duplex printing and a dual input tray system make day-to-day document workflows noticeably less hands-on, and the top energy efficiency rating reinforces its suitability for environments where the printer is on standby more often than it is in active use. The unit's boundaries become apparent at higher output demands — the recommended monthly volume, output tray capacity, and colour print speed all indicate a device built for moderate rather than intensive use. For small teams or individuals whose printing needs stay within those limits, the OfficeJet Pro 8132e delivers a well-rounded and reliable set of features without unnecessary complexity.
