HP DeskJet 4255e Wireless All-in-One Color Inkjet Printer, Scanner, Copier, Best-for-Home, 3 Month Instant Ink Trial Included (588S6A)

I don't print a lot but when I need to print or scan, I need to print or scan. Yesterday my trusty Canon printer died and I needed a new printer fast. I chose this HP and it was on my doorstep this morning about 6am. Printer was well packed and the app guided me through setup. The HP Smart app has a lot of great functionality, and makes using the printer easy. The print quality seems excellent and the speed is similar to that of other low cost printers. The biggest plus for this printer is the automatic document feeder for the scanner that let's you scan a multi-page document with one simple command (it will also auto-flip pages that get scanned upside down). The biggest downside is the colored print cartridge that incorporates all the colors in a single cartridge. When one color runs out you have to replace them all. Since I am not a heavy user this is not a huge deal, but for those who print a lot this could be an issue.

Ok ink cartridges not enough ink don't last that long

I wish I could return this godawful printer. I cannot wait until I purchase its replacement and can take this abomination to an abandoned field and beat it to bits with a bat. Yes, it is cheap, but it is worth far less than what I paid for it.This is my first time using an at-home printer in awhile, and it is hands down the worst printer I have ever used. I have to repeatedly contact HP because the printer refuses to connect to Wifi when it or the Wifi is rebooted. HP's Printer Portal is a JOKE and does nothing except confirm that the printer is offline. If the printer gets disconnected for any reason, you have to call HP to get it reconnected to Wifi since the Printer Portal does not provide options for connecting it. You also cannot stop the printer from performing a print job, even if you cancel said job from the queue, meaning you have to choose between wasting ink or unplugging the printer and contacting HP Customer Service to get it reconnected.The UX experience gets a 0 out of 5, and while the printer does work once it is properly set up (which is near impossible to do on your own if you do not have an technology background), it takes about 5-10 minutes just to get connected to HP Customer Service any time you have an issue (which, in theory, should be able to be addressed in their online portal, but which, in practice, is impossible to resolve without professional assistance). Add another 5 minutes while they confirm everything about you save whether you are an organ donor. HP Customer Service has also made me carry my printer to different locations in my house because of how hard it is to get it connected to the internet (connectivity is not an issue for any other electronic device I own). This printer now sits within six inches of my router, and still it cannot reconnect to Wifi if anything disrupts its connection.I got this printer so I could quickly print drafts of my writing and do handwritten revisions. I have pretty much given up on using it after only a month of it being set up given the many issues I've encountered in such a short time. HP is actively creating waste in the world by putting out such bad products, and I will not be purchasing any other HP product, printer or otherwise, ever again.

It was a very rocky start setting up this HP printer. HP gives you no printed instructions just a video. That would have been fine except half way through set up the video instructions don’t match what the printer is asking for. Could not get WiFi to connect and could find nothing in video or on line through HP with any suggestions on what to try next! They didn't even have any “what to try if” instructions!Luckily this was not my first printer set up and I just went on my own experience with other printer setups. Seat of my pants kind of thing! Finally got it done and so far printer has been doing what it should do PRINT!I like the paper loading in back since I had lot of problems with my Cannon printer tray and paper jams, And I like having a printer cable for my lap top, I also like the ink delivery and recycle system.I was not looking for lots of features - just reliable printing. So far so good on that count. Price was right also!
