HP Smart Tank 798 Driver Download

HP Smart Tank 798 Driver links the computer with the printer’s print, scan, copy, and fax functions. Without the correct software, some controls may remain unavailable even when the machine appears connected. A nearby computer can send jobs over USB, or the driver can use the wireless network. It also returns scanned pages to the computer and passes fax commands to the printer.

HP Smart Tank 798 Specifications

HP Smart Tank 798 is a colour thermal inkjet all-in-one with four refillable tanks for black, cyan, magenta, and yellow ink. Printing, scanning, copying, and colour faxing sit in the same body, so this is not a printer-only unit. The 35-sheet automatic document feeder helps with multi-page originals, while quick photo files can print from a USB host port when they are JPEGs. Local control runs through a 3-inch monochrome graphics touchscreen. Inside, 256 MB of fixed memory and an 800 MHz processor handle the built-in tasks.

Black ISO printing runs at up to 15 ppm, and colour ISO output reaches up to 9 ppm. Draft mode is faster, rising to 23 ppm in black and 22 ppm in colour when speed matters more than final quality. Automatic two-sided printing is built in, but it is meant for supported plain paper rather than every media type. Black output reaches 1200 x 1200 rendered dpi. Colour prints can use 4800 x 1200 optimized dpi from a computer, provided the input is 1200 dpi.

Scanning relies on CIS hardware, using either the flatbed or the automatic feeder. Optical scanning reaches up to 1200 dpi, with hardware resolution listed at 1200 x 1200 dpi. The flatbed takes originals up to 216 x 297 mm, so legal-length sheets need the feeder instead. The feeder scans up to 216 x 356 mm, which makes it the better path for longer documents. Copy speed reaches 13 cpm in black ISO and 6 cpm in colour ISO, with scaling from 25 to 400 percent and a maximum of 99 copies.

Paper loads from a 250-sheet input tray, and finished pages collect in a 100-sheet output tray. Ordinary office sizes include A4, A5, A6, and B5 JIS. The same paper path also takes DL, C5, and C6 envelopes, plus Hagaki cards, photo paper, brochure paper, and light recycled stock. Borderless output reaches 8.5 x 11 inches or 210 x 297 mm, so larger edge-to-edge prints are outside this model’s listed range. A nearby computer can use high-speed USB 2.0, while networked jobs can travel by Ethernet, dual-band Wi-Fi, or Wi-Fi Direct. The rear ports also include USB host and fax connections.
