Mother’s Day made easy: HP printers that make practical, fun gifts

Jewelry gets lost in drawers. Flowers wilt. But a printer? That’s a gift Mom will actually use. Whether she’s printing out recipes, scanning old family photos, or crafting, a printer brings everyday convenience to her fingertips. It’s the kind of gift that keeps giving—especially with up to 2 years of ink included.

HP’s Smart Tank Printers are easy to use, low-maintenance, and on sale just in time for Mother’s Day—but only for a limited time. Not sure which one to choose? We’ve rounded up three of HP’s greatest printers to help you find the perfect match for Mom.

Which HP Smart Tank is right for her?

While each of these HP printers offers something unique, they all have basic printing, scanning, and copying functions. They’re cartridge-free printers that include up to 2 years' worth of ink in the box. Plus, enjoy smooth connectivity and troubleshooting with the HP Smart app.

For the casual crafter

If she’s the type of mom who prints a little bit of everything—chore charts, permission slips, school coloring pages, Pinterest recipes—the HP Smart Tank 5101 is an All-In-One Printer that handles the basics with ease. Like the others but at a more budget-friendly price, it prints up to 6,000 color or black-and-white pages out of the box and has a more compact footprint that fits tight spaces.

For the busy mom

The HP Smart Tank 6001 is for moms who print frequently and want something more efficient. It has automatic two-sided printing, faster print speeds (up to 7 pages per minute), and a larger paper tray, so she won’t have to constantly refill it between school projects and home office print jobs.

The improved interface with guided buttons makes everyday use feel smoother, making it simple for those who are less tech-savvy or anyone who toggles between managing the house and working from home.

For the mom who runs the house and a business​​

With the fastest print speeds of the bunch, a built-in fax, and a 35-page automatic document feeder, the HP Smart Tank 7602 printer is built for versatility. It’s ideal for moms who run a small business, manage a remote team, or just like to stay hyper-organized.

The print quality is top-tier, so whether she’s making marketing materials, printing high-res family photos, or copying multi-page documents, everything looks polished and professional. It also supports two-sided printing and dual-band Wi-Fi for stronger, faster connections across devices.
