Customer Ratings & Reviews

This printer has wi-fi connection issues. It can't seem to maintain a connection.

I could never connect to my wirefiI am returning it to HP today.

I am EXTREMELY disappointed. This product does not have automatic duplex printing. You cannot print on both sides without taking the paper out and entering it again and hoping you do it right each time. The whole reason I bought this printer was to make printing/copying faster with the feed in trays. By trying to upgrade to a new printer, I ended up losing a basic feature that my other printer had for a quarter of the price. Now there is no way to return so they got their money and I have to buy a new printer.

Sorry but its too hard to print always having trouble to print, its too late for me to returnit , Not easy to use , every time that I want to print something the same issue,

Printers have gotten easier and easier to use as the years have gone by, and the HP DeskJet 4255e is no different in that aspect. Setup was pretty simple using the HP app (I am on iOS). Plug the printer in, hold the wifi button so the printer becomes discoverable in the app, and then the rest is straightforward. I was able to configure the printer via the app, which is honestly not that user friendly and pretty slow and not optimized, but at this price point, not expecting perfection in speed of app management. I really love the quiet mode feature on this printer, without it on, I feel that it is too loud when printing images or text with images and starts to shake my drawers. But quiet mode, it eliminates most of the noise and almost all the rocking of the printer, and it still prints fairly quickly and in good quality for most applications (wouldn't do it for a picture on picture paper for example). One thing that I do not like is that the way it loads paper. You have to load the paper from the rear into an auto feeder and your paper sticks out about 6-7 inches and requires a little more depth since it sticks out in the back with the feeder out. I wish it was a tray method of loading paper to be more slim and easy to use. All in all, it is a solid printer that has had no issues connecting to a MacBook, iPhone, Windows laptop and computer and printing good quality printouts in a quick and easy manner.

Tried to set this printer up with wireless connection to my PC and discovered it will only connect to a 2.4 system. My home wireless is 5.0. Could not get it to work. Returned for full refund within 10 days.

Bought this printer and while setting it up I realized the power cord was loose and keeps falling off the attachment on the computer. I call the Best Buy where I bought it and the company directly. No one helped me. I ever offered to pay for a new cord.

I don’t recommend this product as ink doesn’t even stay for even 20 copies . Also difficult to

I am returning this printer to Best Buy, in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Tomorrow. The printer was impossible to set up. I was even online with customer service and a technician, and it did no good. So I am returning this printer tomorrow. And I will be looking at another HP printer when I am there.

Worst printer of all time. Doesn't even do two sided printing. Won't connect to the internet and i can't seem to trouble shoot it. Printers shouldn't be this difficult

Printer works, scanner will not. I bought it for the scanner.

Getting this HP Printer to operate correctly has been virtually impossible, asked for help from Best Buy, $120 or their not helping, wonderful service eh! Piece of Junk and nobody standing behind it, way to go HP

Terrible printer. Returned. Even an hour with Geek Squad couldn’t get it to work.

Roadie dropped this printer in the middle of street. They had their small child take out of car and dropped it

Doesn’t hold a lot of paper, constantly disconnecting from WiFi, told I have to disconnect my cellular data when I want to print super annoying. Never had this issue with my Deskjet

Worst printer I’ve ever owned. It worked ok for about a month now I can’t even get it to stay on let alone connect to the wifi.

This item is garbage doesn’t connect to wifi well prints out tiny images and overall doesnt work. Best buy robbed me with this one

It needs to be reset often, and I have had to reinstall it at least 3 times since first installing it. I would stay away from this machine.
