For small footprint the HP 6155 does a good bit. Print, Copy, & Scan in a space that's not much bigger than a unit that only prints. The minimal design makes it blend in background without being too gaudy or with too many flashy lights. My daughter pretty much snatched the printer from me as soon as I got it set up. Connecting to wifi was easy and we had our first print in under 30 minutes. Windows is the main OS that will be feeding documents to the printer and there really wasn't any I had to do. After putting the printer on the network, windows saw it and I added it. Bam! Print out 2 minutes later. Print quality is pretty good. Not as crisp on with text as a laser, but still pretty good. On standard 20# paper there wasn't much bleeding and just a bit of overspray. Excellent for an inkjet. The test print was a maze to show how it handled solid lines, text, and minor graphics. While a bit slow it wasn't overly so. If we did black and white it would have bumped the speed a bit, but not a whole lot. So far we're pretty happy with the printer and look forward to putting it to some real use.

The HP Envy 6155 is HP’s latest entry level inkjet printer to be released by HP. It is exactly the same as the other HP Envy 6155e save for one feature or rather limitation but let me explain that later. To start with, the HP 6155 is a basic printer scanner combo. But unlike other printers in its class, it has a sleeker form factor. First, it is thinner than most similar printers which makes it look sleeker in my opinion. It does not have a back fed auto sheet feeder but rather in front. For me I prefer this over my HP 4200 as the 6155 simply looks cleaner that way. HP claims the printer can load 100 pages. But in reality, that would really depend on the paper used. HP printer uses 20lb paper. However, I use 24lb paper, so really your mileage may vary but in that is just negligible. Setup is pretty simple. The power switch is located at the back and there is a USB port for those who want a wired connection but there is no cable included. But then again most HP printers are now wi-fi enabled. To setup the HP 6155 has a colored touch screen often found in higher models such as the 8100 series and not like my b/w screen in my HP4200. Unlike older models that rely on 2.4Ghz, the 6155 is dual band which makes setup a breeze. Of course, you would need to download also the HP Smart app from either the Windows or Apple Stores. There is also the legacy HP app available from HP, but that really adds bloatware for most Windows computers. HP’s Smart App is fine. As for print quality, output is at par with higher end models. Print speeds are up to 10 ppm in b/w and 7 ppm for colored. But obviously if you’re printing full page pictures, printing is slower. But unlike other entry level printers, it can do borderless and back-to-backprinting, something my HP 4200 can’t handle. The HP 6155 uses two cartridges – one black and one colored. Now some would prefer individual colored ink cartridges as obvious some colors would run out first. But if you subscribe HP’s Instant Ink program, this wouldn’t be a problem as once your ink starts to run low, you’ll already be sent a replacement cartridge. And this model comes with a free three month trial of Instant Ink. Now as to the difference between the 6155 and the 6155e, I have read elsewhere that the later is limited by HP+ features which in reality limits the printer to HP original ink. But if you subscribe to Instant Ink, this is moot. As for the the AI features, it’s mostly enabled most for wi-fi enabled HP printers. Personally, I really haven’t used AI features since it came save for cleaning scanned documents. Overall, this is a solid entry level printer.
I haven’t had a printer for many years. Never really needed one and my best friend( roommate ) had an old one that had to be hard wired to his desktop computer. Unfortunately it stopped working properly recently and I have been having to ask people at one of my work sites to print me a few different forms. But mainly they were Amazon return labels. I didn’t want to continue to bother them, so I decided to give this wireless printer a try. So far it’s been great with no issues. Set up was very easy and done in about 10 minutes after signing into the hp app. It will automatically detect the printer and set everything up for you. Pretty straightforward and I’m sure people who aren’t tech savvy will appreciate the easy process. When setting up it will ask you to align the printer, print a copy and help you with the scanning part of the printer. All together took 15 minutes max. Prints come out clear and vibrant. Air printing works amazingly, now I don’t have to have it connected right next to my Pc. I can place anywhere in the house and the whole family can access it easily. This model comes with 3 free months of “instant ink” though we do not need that option as we will not use it as often as others. So we declined that offer. You can use the 2 ink cartridges that comes with it and just replace as needed. Great news as you aren’t stuck with something you do not need. But yes it works well, looks nice and is wireless. You really can’t ask for much more. Only issue I have is that to my understanding you can only use HP ink and no 3rd party brands. While I get why they do this. I like being able to have the option. But the prices of the blank and color inks are not very expensive. So that’s fine. Also I’d say the msrp is reasonable but try to get it on sale if possible.

This is a great printer for home use. Every once in a while, family members need to print something, whether it’s a label for returns, school projects, or documents. This printer can handle it all. The all-in-one design also includes a scanner. Design The printer is fairly compact and doesn’t take up much space. It looks and feels premium, with an attractive white finish. It relies heavily on the touchscreen and companion apps, and the touchscreen is generally responsive and easy to use. Setup Setting up the printer took some time, though that was likely due to my router, which can be particular when new devices join the network. HP recommends using the mobile app for setup, so I tried both an iPhone and an Android device. I started with the iPhone, but when that didn’t fully work, I switched to Android. It turns out the iPhone setup was only partially successful as the printer connected to my Wi Fi 7 network, but the router did not assign it an IP address. The Android setup also took quite a while, so I decided to use the printer’s on-screen setup instead. That process was faster and worked well, and the printer now connects to my Wi Fi 6 network. Performance Overall, this is a very good printer. I printed a shipping label wirelessly on label paper, and the result was excellent. It also handled document printing well. Print speed is average, though I would have liked it to be a bit faster. Wireless printing from mobile phones is convenient, practical, and easy to use. Printer cartridges can be expensive, so HP offers a subscription-based ink model. The printer also came with a free three-month supply of ink to help you get started. Conclusion This is a great printer for home use.

This was very quick and easy to setup, I already have an older HP printer so I had the app. Connection was instant to my iPhone, iPad and WiFi. This also comes with an instant ink subscription , which I recommend. If you’re not familiar with it, they keep track of your ink levels through Wi-Fi on your printer and send you ink automatically. There are different plans with the lowest being $1.99 a month for 10 pages. I posted that because it recently is due to go up in price. The color screen is easy to reach and navigate through, it enables you to change settings and also copy scan or print. I have an older Mac laptop and desktop, which don’t even connect to my current printer, and I tried connecting with this one and all it keeps saying is off-line, I made sure I was on the same network and still says off-line. The size of the printer is fairly small, it’s not bulky at all and it’s lightweight. I just wish it came in black. The photo quality was good but while using the HP app or just printing through my phone I could never get the whole picture to print, I tried four times and every time it was half a picture no matter what setting I had it on, thankfully I don’t print very many pictures. (See pics below). It also would not print photos unless the tray was full of paper. I moved on to print our insurance cards and they came out very small. Turns out no matter what paper setting I had in the app. I had to change it on the printer itself. I had to modify the paper settings every time, this was getting a bit annoying. I also think that it prints a bit slow and loud. The paper tray seems a bit cheap and I really miss the separate trays that they used to have for photo paper and letter paper that made it so convenient because you didn’t have to remove the paper each time you wanted to print. The output paper tray is just a small flimsy piece of plastic. This prints good for everyday use, I will use it as backup when my printer finally quits but I still prefer my older HP printer over this one, the features and quality just don’t seem to be there anymore

I've printed a whole lot of documents, photos and event passes, from many an HP ink jet. For the most part, they've been decent units. Until my last one. The 4100 series has me questioning if I wanted to revisit the Hewlett-Packard brands for my copy experience. Not that it was a terrible experience. It just felt lacking in a few departments. But thank all that tech-centric, that the Envy 6100 not only improved on my old printer, but exceeded my expectations. The full-color touch screen, alone made me feel like research and development was listening to us. A paper tray. I know. It sounds mundane, yet obvious. But no. I was missing that feature. I like to have paper ready to do a workload that's larger than 25 sheets. And fast? I can appreciate that it can print double sided with efficiency while staying pretty quiet. Using the app can still be tedious and setup did require a restart, but once it was up and I was signed in, it was showtime. I also like how easy it is to install and replace ink cartridges. And the design just looks sleek yet productive. Basically, it will look good at home or in your office space. I finally signed up for the ink program. That should tell you how much faith that I have in this one. So yes. I think my friend Envy my new printer. Yours can Envy you, as well. Put it in your cart.

The HP Envy 6155 came well packaged, with handholds on each side that make the box easy and comfortable to carry — a small detail, but one that shows thoughtful design. Setup is straightforward. The quick start guide is clear, simple, and easy to follow. The printer itself has a large, bright display positioned at just the right angle, making it easy to read during setup and everyday use. For installation, the printer gives you the option to scan a QR code or visit a website to complete setup and install the software and ink. The QR code didn’t work, so I switched to my phone. While I would have preferred to complete the entire setup directly on the printer, the mobile installation process was excellent — clean visuals, clear instructions, and very easy to follow. After that, I had to download additional HP software to connect the printer to Wi‑Fi. It wasn’t difficult, but it did feel like more steps than necessary. Once everything was up and running, the performance was solid. Print quality is good, colors are accurate, and the speed is perfectly acceptable for home use. I printed four full‑color labels, and they came out crisp and clean. Overall, the HP Envy 6155 delivers good print quality and an easy setup experience, with just a few extra steps that could be streamlined. It’s a reliable choice for everyday printing needs. I also like the HP Ink option - a monthly service and they send you ink when needed.

HP has been in printing industry for decades and I have been using HP since the 90's. Anyway back to this printer the HP ENVY 6155. Box was pretty low carbon footprint. Plastic bag is recyclable. Most of the packing is cardboard except the foam glass protector and the tape to secure the printer. Setup was super duper easy. Pull printer out. Unpacked, powered on, installed the app, follow step by step instructions on the app. It comes with 3 months of free ink. I signed up for the free ink. If you don't have an HP account you will need to sign up so you can proceed. Size is small size for a multi function and small room use. Touch as screen is easy to use. Print speed is decent. Color and detailed print is good. Scanning and copying is straight forward. No document feeder so you have to feed individual pages 1 at a time. App use is easy. They use a combination of web based and app based interface. Color is modern white sleek look Solid small home or room printer. Great buy. Would recommend.

We hardly use printers nowadays. Everything is digital. But those few times we do, like print parking permits, camping instructions, coloring pages or photocopy something for grandma, we feel bad we don’t have any to use. This is why this is that perfect printer at home—it prints when we need it to, it does not have any other frill that we will not need, and is compact enough to be stowed under a shelf. Like any printer, it is almost fairly easy to set up—almost. The QR code provided at the printer set up screen to share my phone wifi, did not work even after literally over 20 times. I had to add the printer to my PC manually which was very easy. It was easily added to my HP account too. Since I use HP printers, everything was familiar EXCEPT the mobile app. It has changed a lot—but in a very good way. For the first time, in years if not over a decade, that the mobile app looked very intuitive. I can easily scan and even send a fax using my phone. Okay, no one uses faxes anymore, no big deal. Print quality is nice—speed is decent for this size though it is a little noisy. Scan quality is great too and the HP desktop app easily recognizes the edges of even the whitest paper to crop a well-scanned sheet on the flat bed. Yes, I mentioned the scan quality is great—I almost could not tell the original from my copy. Maybe my only real complaint is that ink may be a little expensive to replace, even with the included three months of instant ink, because the color cartridge has all the colors in one (vs. only having to replace which color is low). But overall, it’s a pretty good printer. It’s not a value printer—you get more than what you pay for. HP quality, great build and simple reliable printing.

This is a very reasonable price/performance point for a such a quality printer. Installation using the cell phone HP App was simple and quick. Paper loading, cartridge loading and output tray functions are all designed for ease of use and solid functionality. I could easily print from my laptop, desktop and cell phone – nice. Note you still need the HP Smart app on your laptop as the new HP App is not yet deployed except for cell phones. It has a beautiful 2.4" touchscreen. I own and have owned many brands of printers so I know the HP GUI for the touchscreen is the best and easiest to use. Tip of my cap to the HP engineers for a very well-designed interface. Note that the power button is on the back of the printer. Printouts had very sharp and well defined colors. The text was legible even in very small fonts. There is not a multiple-page document feeder so that is one drawback if you need that. The speed is a bit slow i.e. 7/10 pages per minute (color/mono); but is fine for home use. You do have a very nice scan bed to make copies and for scanning documents into your computer. The HP Smart app makes using this printer really simple for all operations especially scanning. Wireless connectivity is important so I was pleased that it connected right away and did not disconnect after the initial install. I highly recommend this solid and very functional printer at a great price for this type of quality.

Usually when you get a small/sleek printer, their functionality can be somewhat limited. Either they have a small paper tray or only print or just whatever. Still though, with today's multi-function printers this seems to be a thing of the past however there are some instances where smaller is better. This 6155 printer is a personal printer for sure. You won't be churning out stacks of presentations with this any time soon. This is more for personal printing needs. I like the small footprint of this printer. It's very sleek looking, short/skinny/etc, pretty much what you'd want in a personal printer. It has some decent "stats" as it were, it's somewhat inexpensive, small footprint, all-in-one functionality, touchscreen and app printing/capability. Paper tray is 100 sheets which is plenty enough for just about anyone or any printing job you may have. The instant ink subscription enables you to always have ink on hand. And for a small(er) printer which might be used considerably less than your large office printer, always having some ink on hand is never a bad thing.

In general, this a good printer.. especially at its price point. However, the initial price is great, because they make it up in the ink costs. First the positives: EASY to setup, however, out of the box: WiFi only, does not come with a USB Cable. If you want it to be hard connected, you need to provide your own cable. I have not setup an HP account in several years, so I can't comment on how the flow is today, but it was very simple to add to my existing HP account, and then get all the settings setup on my WiFi to print. I was able to print my first sample page, directly from my iPhone. The printer is limited to a standard 8.5x11 or 8.5x14 or smaller paper. You can't use Tabloid or bigger paper. The print quality is above par, and pretty good for a printer at this price point. Relatively quick, and quiet to print. Fast responding to the request to print. The scanner on the device is adequate for a single sheet scanner, for small projects. And it can "fax" (does anyone remember what that is), but you have to use software based faxing software. it can't connect to a legacy phone line, thus if you really really need to fax things on anything of a regular basis, get a dedicated device, or consult how to setup a good eFax system. But in general, as a printer... good enough for most usage nowadays, and quality is good for the price point. My negatives.. it is consistent with HP and their HP+ path. The ink and the subscription for ink. First, forget about using 3rd party ink. HP has this down to a science now to block all non official HP ink. In general, that is a good think, as knock off ink is terrible made in most cases, and will ultimately fail and screw up the printer, and void the warranty. The down side, the non-subsription ink, is not inexpensive. A set, that gets you about 100-150 pages of printing (black a the try-color) is going to be about $50. You do get 3 months of the refill subscription, that will auto-ship to you, when it starts to detect you are low. And it does so pretty quickly (1-2 days before it thinks you will run out). The DOWNSIDE through, after the 3 initial months, even the cheapest plan, starts to add up.. and if you are not regularly printing, that can start to cost. And those cartridges that you got, and may have not loaded yet, are no good after you cancel the subscription, they will NOT work... and you either then have to re-subscribe, or switch to non-subscription ink. So most certainly review your usage, and do your math and your cost analysis. The subscription prices are based on your monthly usage estimates as well. Also it is very challenging to un-subscribe.. So recap: Good printer, quality, performance and speed, that you expect from HP. The ink is a big factor, between buying ink, or subscribing to ink... be sure you know.

When unboxing the printer, I was surprised to find it entirely shrink-wrapped. That seemed unnecessary, since almost all of the other packaging is paper-based and recyclable. During setup, the cartridge carrier was parked all the way to the left and I couldn’t get the black cartridge in. I had to open and close the lid and begin the setup process before the carrier moved into position to install the cartridge. I initially connected the printer via USB and continued setup from the PC app, and the process was smooth. The tiny on-screen keyboard actually works quite well. It’s responsive and good at recognizing the correct letters despite its small size, and navigating the menus and changing options was relatively easy. You can also handle most of the configuration from your computer using the HP app. Shortcuts are an interesting option for adding extra menu functionality to the printer, and they can be set up through the HP app on your computer. I don’t understand why you have to enable access to shortcuts and assign an expiration date, though — that seems rather strange. I also can’t figure out why there’s no shortcut to save scanned documents directly to my computer; the only option is cloud storage. If I want a scan saved to my computer, I have to scan from the HP app on the computer instead. From what I’ve researched, the HP 68 cartridges have a capacity of about 160 pages for black and 120 pages for color. Note that color is supplied through a single tri-color cartridge, so if you run out of just one color, you’ll have to replace the entire cartridge. Print output is very good, and I’ve had a great experience across different paper types. Colors are vibrant, and text documents, screen prints, and a few photos on glossy paper have all come out at excellent quality. You get 7 days to claim an offer for 3 months of Instant Ink service. I’ve tried it in the past, and there are many different plans offering various combinations of subscription length and page count. I found it can be somewhat economical if you print a consistent number of pages over time and choose a monthly or yearly option, and the nice part is never having to worry about ordering cartridges. Personally, I print fairly inconsistently — some months hardly anything, others a fair amount — and you can only roll over so many unused pages before you lose them. Another thing to keep in mind is that a misprint or unwanted print still counts against your allotment, which isn’t ideal if you experiment a lot with your prints. Finally, be aware that if you’re on an Instant Ink plan and cancel to go back to buying your own cartridges, the Instant Ink cartridge will stop working as soon as your subscription ends.

Let’s be honest, not everyone uses a home printer every day. But when the day comes that you do need to print out a return label, a birthday card, the occasional photo or what have you, it’s nice to have a printer around. The HP Envy 6155 is a good all-around printer that I think is a great entry level printer that can accommodate most people’s needs. Pros: • It supports 2-sided document printing so you can use less paper. • If you print photographs, the borderless photo printing is a great feature. I like keeping my frames fresh every year so I love this capability on a relatively entry level printer. • This printer supports dual band Wi-Fi, which basically means it should work better on your home wireless network allowing you to move it further from your router and provide you with a more stable connection overall. • The Envy has a relatively large sheet tray that fits 100 sheets of plain printer paper. Cons: • It’s not the quickest printer, pumping out only 10 pages per minute in black ink and 7ppm when printing in color. • The touchscreen works relatively well overall, but it’s also really small. I didn’t like it on my previous HP all-in-one, and it’s basically the same as the touchscreen I had on that one. If you ever need to use the on-screen keyboard to type anything in, like a WiFi password, good luck to you… But luckily you can use the HP app to bypass the screen most of the time. • Instant Ink is a reminder that everyone has their hand out wanting recurring subscription income. If you’re not printing like crazy, and you’re only buying ink maybe once or twice a year, then it isn’t worth subscribing to HP’s ink delivery subscription in my opinion. But if it’s right for you, then right on, plug you’ll get a free trial of it with your printer purchase. I’m not sure how the HP AI is going to actually perform overall. It’s supposed to help you use less ink by optimizing your prints. Only time will tell if I notice a difference in how quickly I go through my ink cartridges compared to my old HP 6555e all-in-one printer. All in all, if you just need a printer that’s going to do the job, and not look like an eye-sore in your home office, then this is a great option.

**Rating:** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I have this HP Envy 6155 set up as a secondary printer in my home, specifically for use upstairs outside of my main office. I have been a huge fan of HP printers for decades, and the quality of workmanship they provide has consistently impressed me over the years. My main office printer is a heavy-duty HP laser model, which I love for high-volume tasks. However, I found that the laser printer struggled with the layout and formatting of the property flyers I create for my real estate listings. Specifically, it leaves large white borders on all edges and won't print to the full extent of the page, which makes it difficult to achieve the professional, full-bleed look I want for my clients. This Envy 6155 has been a fantastic, budget-friendly solution. It isn't an "over-the-top" or industrial piece of equipment, but it excels at exactly what I need: it handles the formatting of my flyers perfectly, filling the entire page as intended. It’s been a reliable addition to my workflow, allowing me to print high-quality marketing materials whenever I need them without having to head back to the office. If you are looking for a straightforward, affordable printer for graphics and marketing materials, I highly recommend this one. **Pros:** * **Excellent Formatting:** Perfect for printing flyers edge-to-edge without the frustrating white margins common on laser printers. * **Compact & Convenient:** Great footprint for a secondary space like an upstairs office or bedroom. * **Affordable:** A very budget-friendly option that doesn’t sacrifice print quality for marketing materials. * **Brand Reliability:** Built with the high-quality workmanship I’ve come to expect from HP over my decades as a loyal customer. * **Easy Mobile Printing:** Very simple to use with the HP app for quick prints on the go. **Cons:** * **Not for High-Volume:** It’s a secondary, home-use printer, so it isn't designed to replace a heavy-duty laser machine for massive daily print jobs. * **Basic Features:** It’s a straightforward, entry-level printer, so it lacks some of the industrial features or speed of more expensive office-grade models.

If you're looking for a modern printer with all the tech you need, without being overly confusing or complicated, you really can’t go wrong with the All‑in‑One HP Envy 6155. The touchscreen is intuitive, but you’ll get the most out of this printer by downloading the HP app. It makes setup smoother and unlocks features you won’t want to miss. While this model supports Instant Ink, you’re not required to subscribe to use it. My printing habits are pretty sporadic, so I’m actually excited to try the included 3‑month Instant Ink trial to see if it’s worth it for me. The HPAI features have been a surprisingly nice touch. Connection issues have dropped significantly, and it’s honestly refreshing to send documents to print and have them… just print. No fuss, no restarting the printer, no mysterious error messages. It simply works the way a home printer should. Print quality is solid as well. Text is crisp, colors are vibrant, and the overall resolution is great for everyday use—whether you’re printing documents, schoolwork, or the occasional photo. Overall, this is a dependable, user‑friendly printer that delivers exactly what most people need. Definitely worth considering!

This all-in-one inkjet printer is compact and delivers high-quality prints. It was very easy to set up and connect to wifi. I was able to connect easily on my phone and print directly from it, so simply. Once your printer is connected to the wifi, it is such a cinch to connect from your phone and print. I love that feature on all the printers now. If connecting from a MacBook, you need to add the printer before you can print. That may be how it is for other types of computers, too. Print quality is excellent. The colors are very bright and vibrant. I love that you can choose a monthly subscription based on how much you normally print, so you never have to worry about running out of ink. However, you can choose to buy ink or opt for the monthly instant ink print subscription. It is nice to have options. The printer allows you to print black/white and color, scan, and copy. The print quality and printing speed are excellent. The new design is also very sleek and compact. I love the new design's look. I would def recommend this.

I have plenty of experience throughout the years with printers. From kids in school needing to do homework to having a couple of offices with different needs, I have had to buy and use different types of printers. Laser, inkjet, color, black and white. They all have a purpose and use and each brand does it a little differently. In my opinion, this HP 6155 is one of the best low cost printers on the market. I still have and use the HP 6555 and beside the top loading document feed, I cannot see any other differences. Actually, the 6155 without it looks sleeker and can be placed in more convenient places. The top loader is helpful when copying, faxing or uploading multiple pages. But like most top loaders I have used, I can never truly trust it to run smoothly. I have to stand there and make sure it goes through. And for home use, I have hardly ever needed to run more than a few pages through it. As for the print quality, it is good, especially at this price point. The HP app used to print, is absolutely 1 of the best I've ever used. Quite intuitive and easy to navigate. You can print from anywhere and it just works. Ink, as most of us knows is not cheap but HP ink prints great. So no choice.

TL;DR: SETUP: The HP Envy 6155 is easy to unbox and set up. Download the HP Smart app and follow its directions. USE: Prints reliably once connected, though performance is noticeably better through the app than through AirPrint. USABILITY: Good print quality and simple controls, but the reliance on the app makes basic AirPrint tasks less seamless than expected. OVERALL: A capable home printer, but not ideal if you prefer straightforward, app‑free AirPrint printing. REVIEW: I’ve been using the HP Envy 6155 All‑in‑One Printer, and while it delivers good print quality and handles everyday tasks well, I found myself wishing it relied less on the HP Smart app and more on smooth, native AirPrint functionality. Setup was easy, but very app‑focused. Unboxing is simple, and the printer walks you through the basics, but it quickly becomes clear that HP expects you to use the HP Smart app for almost everything, including Wi‑Fi setup, alignment, firmware updates, and even basic configuration. The app does make setup smooth, but I had hoped the printer would operate more independently, especially for AirPrint. Print quality is solid. Text documents look crisp, and photos come out better than expected for a home printer in this price range. For everyday use, it performs well. Where things didn’t meet my expectations was AirPrint. I prefer using native AirPrint for quick, app‑free printing from my iPhone, but the experience wasn’t as consistent as I hoped. Sometimes it connected immediately, but other times it hesitated or failed to load the preview. My initial thoughts were the issue was through my ISP, but it turned out it’s a manufacturer’s decision. Through the HP Smart app, everything worked reliably, but I don’t want to depend on the app. Scanning and copying work well. The touchscreen is small but easy to navigate, and scanning through the app is convenient. Again, though, it’s clear HP designed the workflow around the app rather than standalone use. Ink usage is typical for this series. Standard cartridges are fine for light printing, but frequent users will go through them quickly. HP+ and Instant Ink are optional, but the printer encourages you to enroll. Overall, the HP Envy 6155 is a good home printer if you don’t mind using the HP Smart app as your main interface. For me, I prefer a printer that works reliably with AirPrint alone, and this model leans too heavily on the app for the best experience. It’s capable and prints well, but not the ideal fit if you want simple, app‑free printing from your Apple devices.

I've been using the HP Envy 6155 for a few days now, it's a good home/family all-in-one printer/scanner. I have mixed feelings usually on HP Instant Ink models. What's in the box: - HP Envy 6155 - Power Cable - 1 x Tri Color Cartridge (model HP 68) - 1x Black Cartridge (model HP 68) Setup is easy, there's a calibration process as part of setup and everything else is then done via the app (iOS/Android/Windows). I had no issue setting the Envy up on my WiFi (Eero Mesh). The color touch screen is bright and clear, but I do wonder about the design being a dust catcher. The screen sits flat, which feels like a poor choice. Actually, as I think about it, the Envy 6155 is also fat and wide, I feel HP could have made the printer a bit more compact. So worth looking at in store before you buy, in case you don't have the desk space. What is good and I am honestly surprised is the AI features. Yes, I know, AI... it's everywhere and not always useful. But HP are using AI smarts to save you ink, which is clever and really thoughtful when it's in HPs interest to do otherwise. The AI features enable you to smartly print and cut out wasted content. This is really useful if you're printing a webpage, like a recipe, as it will kind of format it more like a neat recipe card and not print ads, or useless images. This is also helpful when your kids want to print something for school homework. It's good. In terms of print quality, the HP Envy 6155 is good not necessarily great. I do wish this wasn't an all-in-one color cartridge, it's one of my main frustrations too with Instant Ink because you can end up replacing a color cartridge that's only empty in one color. On color, something seems a little off with the colors when printing, they felt a little muted but I think this may be user error, as I'm trying to see if I have some eco setting enabled. Scanning is good, and perfectly OK if you need to archive a receipt for warranty purposes. Overall, I think the HP Envy 6155 is a good value printer. The AI print features are interesting and will save you money and paper. Is that a reason to buy, not sure, but if you are worried you will spend too much money on Instant Ink it is nice to know HP is trying to make printing a little less wasteful.
