First impressions - when opening the box, I was greeted with a well packed printer from HP. I have included a few pictures for reference
of what is included in the box. There is a color cartridge, a black cartridge and warranty and quick setup literature. A long power cord
is included for power which is much appreciated.
After removing the shipping tape, some peel off plastic covers and checking the setup guide - I plugged the printer in and
installed the ink cartridges.
Easy Setup - The software and driver package can be downloaded from HP which will walk you through setting up the wifi on the
printer ( it broadcasts a generic network of it's own for setup ). The software will prompt you to connect to the printer's
wifi for initial configuration, then attach it to the wireless network of your choice.
Hard Setup - For the I.T. Inclined, you can optionally connect the printer's setup network, substitute .1 at the end of the IP
Address you receive and put that in a web browser to access the web server setup based configuration. That also allows you to
set a wireless network, turn on and off various printing protocols and enable or disable web based scanning. I went with this
route to see if it was possible and was pleasantly suprised at the web interface and options.
Overall Use - Once setup, I noted that the printer has various printing protocols enabled to allow it to be found by windows,
mac and android devices. I had no issue on windows, mac or on an Apple phone using airprint. It all worked seamlessly.
Color - It prints basic color quickly. I sent a few photos along at highest photo quality and the results
were out in under 60 seconds each. Notably these are prints that "choke" our megatank inkjet and take up to two
minutes each on another printer. Text and text with graphics process and print without any noticable delay.
Scanning - Easy to use and adjust resolution and what formats to save output in. The printer also has a color
and B&W Copy button. This is always more useful than I think it will be and saves a lot of time to make a quick
copy of something without involving a computer !
Onboard Display - The onboard screen provides minimal info on printer status other than wifi state and a counter.
What I love-
- Supported Formats - Letter; legal; 4 x 6 in; 5 x 7 in; 8 x 10 in; No. 10 envelopes
- I was able to print from every device we own.
- 60 Sheet capacity which is generous enough for occasional printing.
Could be improved -
- The price of genuine ink tanks

A solid, really lightweight printer that does a good job as long as you're paying attention. Regular black and white printing on plain paper, no problem. Color printing, same. But if you plan on printing pictures, you need to make sure to adjust your settings so it prints them properly. Printing as normal will lead to less than desirable results. I have my printer stashed in my closet until I need it since I don't have a lot of room.
A NOTE ON INSTANT INK - If you get the trial period, that's great, but know that once it's over you CANNOT use the ink cartridges they send you. Wild, but true. They simply stop working and you have to purchase separate ink cartridges in order to print. Instant Ink also monitors how many pages you use, which is kind of creepy, and you're only allowed a certain amount based on what subscription model you've chosen. If you want to avoid the Big Brother stuff, just buy regular ink cartridges and paper and print normally.

I love HP, and this printer is no exception. This is my first Deskjet, and it prints very well. The color is great. I have used photo paper, and the prints came out super clear; I am very impressed. It is perfect for home use. I love the printables. I am a crafty person, so I use it almost every day. Paper doesn't jam, and I like that it's a backloader. It's a very quiet printer. It doesn't shake the desk. I wish I could find a 67XX cartridge as the original black ink showed that you could use a regular 67 67x and 67xx. I definitely would recommend the HP DeskJet 2855e. For the price it is a super great printer.

I love my new printer. It is smaller than the old one but has all the features. It fits perfectly on my desk. I love that it is white instead of black. It does a great job on all functions.

This printer is excellent, printing quality is good and the best of all is the subscription service where you can choose your own printing plan and pay a small monthly fee for ink plus paper delivered to your home when needed. The price was also great for the value of the product.

Good value at a very attractive price. Print quality is very good. I’ve yet to scan a document but am confident it also will be good. Had a bit of trouble connecting to our Wi-Fi but worked through it, although I needed an assist from YouTube videos. I would have given the printer 5 stars but for that. Our household doesn’t printer a lot of documents per month, but I’ll soon be printing a nearly 100 page form. I’ll update the review after that.

I have been frustrated several times bleforethis purchase attempting to get a connection between the printer and my iPad/iphone. I always seemed to find trouble along the way. This printer is awesome. It does what you need it to do without a bunch of frills, whistles, and such. It is a highly functional machine that has great features and is responsive. I love it.

I got 3 months of free ink, so am printing all my photos off my phone!. Printer is very lightweight and easy to set up. Wireless is easy to use and convenient for work papers. found a portable case on line that is padded to transport during work and keep it safe too. And all this for under 90$!!

The HP Deskjet printer is an excellent tool for copying and printing. It operates smoothly and was easy to set up. The HP Deskjet is efficient, lightweight, and compact. I would definitely recommend this printer.
