A great upgrade after years of 'just basic'
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Maybe you bought a basic printer few years ago, it works fine if a little clunky at times but now its time to upgrade... you'll be happy you did because HP Printers are getting sooo much better every year. I was overwelmed (and a bit overjoyed) seeing how many advanced and quality features I was getting now for basically the same money. Document feeder?! Printing both sides?! Wireless?! Yes give me all please! Additionally this new printer supports a HP printer ink business model that basically means you could get a lifetime free ink supply for minimal useage but will pay only a bit more as your consumption goes up. Been on it less than a month so hard to draw conclusions but so far very very happy with the extra support. Any cons -- yes, the positioning of the output thingie that catches your prints, right on top of the lid to the paper tray. But no impact on printing characteristics whatsoever so its not a big deal. In short its a buy you really cant go wrong with, the only question you might want to ask yourself later is, should I have taken the next higher model :)

Easy to Set Up with Instant Ink
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We bought this printer for my son's online schooling use. It easily connected to our computers and was simple to set up with HP's Instant Ink program. The cartridges that came with the printer were tiny, but the instant ink replacement cartridges are much, much bigger. Our first replacement cartridges arrived just before our starter color cartridge ran out. Perfect timing!

Great printer for everyone, even beginners!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the record I’ve never owned a printer, I’ve never even setup a printer and with all of that being said I am shocked how smooth setting this printer up was. I followed the instructions included with the printer and it was a breeze! Printing documents directly from my phone with the HP Smart app is so easy as well. I have NOT used a direct cable connection for this printer so I can’t speak on that function, only over WiFi and it works perfectly fine with my phone and desktop (program on PC, app on cellphone). No more going to the city library to print documents! Using the scanning feature is also very easy! I’m impressed all around on this printer.

Love this printer!!!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This hp office key printer is an excellent idea. I really didn't think I would be using it very much, but when I brought it home and hooked it up, I just came up with a thousand little things that I would normally not copy. But it was very handy that I did copy them. I have always said that I love back ups. Now I can make back up pictures and back up documents, like my cars insurance, just as an example. If someone you know is looking for a printer---BUY THIS ONE!!! I LOVE HOW EASY IT IS TO USE!!!

HP 5255 PRINTER
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far so good. It has a nice touch screen display and instructions right from the display. The WiFi direct didn't work with the android phone. I had to use the HP app for WiFi direct on my GS7 to print from my mobile device. All though it didn't go as planned, I figured it out. Also I like the fact if the color ink runs out, you can still print with just black remaining.

Awesome wireless printer!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's been a few years since we've upgraded our printer, and this has definitely not disappointed. Setup was almost effortless, and prints without issue from our MacBook, iPhones, Chromebooks, etc. Very happy with our HP!

Q: QuestionDo I have to use the instant ink monthly plan? I will not be using the printer that much. And probably won't need ink more than once or twice a year.
Asked by Victoria.
- A:Answer Thank you for reaching out. You can choose if you wish to use the HP Instant Ink plans or not. This printer is eligible for the HP Instant Ink print free for life plan which allows you to print up to 15 pages a month at no cost. If the printer needs ink at any time it will automatically come to your address, you never pay for the ink, shipping or anything. Your plan gives you access to an unlimited supply of HP's Ink as you need it. If you print over 15 pages every 10 pages is just $1. Even if you find you print more, the 50 page $2.99 plan works out to $36 which is still more affordable than buying ink cartridges, about even if you only buy the ink once a year. You can enroll, cancel or change plans at any time. So using Instant Ink is completely optional and by not choosing to use it initially you are not loosing out on the ability to use it later.

Q: QuestionCan you print in black ink if the color cartridge is out of ink without replacing the color cartridge? Another brand printer that I have will not print if one of the color cartridges is out of ink - you must replace the color cartridge first - not good!
Asked by Kathy.
- A:Answer Yes, you simply remove the cartridge which is empty and the printer will switch to single cartridge mode and continue printing.

Q: QuestionDoes it do 2 sided printing by itself or do you have to flip the paper ? I think they call it duplex printing.
Asked by b4uwere.
- A:Answer Yes it does it by itself
Answered by Bferneau
Q: QuestionWill the Black ink work without color cartridges? I only use Black. Color never gets used and dries up. Then the Black won't work either. Tired of buying color ink that I don't use. Please let me know. Quite interested in this model.
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer Ours will print if the color cartridge is empty. You can also choose to print black only in print color options.
Answered by treedigger
Q: QuestionCan you put a stack of paper and print large amounts of 10-15 pages at one time?
Asked by Kena.
- A:Answer Theoretically yes. Actually, a pain in the rear. Printing picks up multiple pages often and jams easily. Sheet feeder for copying or scanning is the same story. Just make sure you check everything to make sure you have what you need. You can’t assume it will be accurate or complete. My 4650 was quite a workhorse. This unit is not.

Q: QuestionWhere is the paper tray and does it fax? Also is it very easy to install?
Asked by Lady.
- A:Answer The paper tray is in the front, and runs along the bottom of the printer. It is capable of faxing, yes, through a proper landline, and it's super easy to install and set up!! We recommend using the HP Smart App for the simplest installation experience.

Q: QuestionDo you have to use the ink auto delivery. I don't think I will need ink that often?
Asked by Autumn.
- A:Answer No! I bypassed all that ink subscription nonsense.
Answered by Erasergirl
Q: QuestionIs this able to perform 2 sided scanning?
Asked by lostosprey.
- A:Answer Thank you for your question. In order to 2 sided scan you would need to manually flip the pages.
