Customer Ratings & Reviews

The HP Deskjet 4255e wireless all in one printer does a great job with a compact footprint. The printer is fairly easy to set-up but does require the use of the HP smart app. I already own a HP laser jet printer so adding this printer to the app took a few minutes. Once added the printer goes through the set up process where it prints an alignment sheet which is then scanned to ensure optimal printing. Once this was all done I was able to print an email and a picture from my phone wirelessly without any issues. This printer was an add on to my office laser jet printer since the kids need a color option for school assignments. The printer features an input tray capable of holding 60 sheets of paper as well as an automatic document feeder that can hold 35 sheets of paper which makes scanning or copying multiple documents easy. The printer did include a free 3 month trial to HP instant ink which is essentially a service by HP which ensures that you are auto shipped ink before you run out. This is a great service because you will never be running around to random stores looking for ink cartridges at 9pm because your kids have to print something to take to school the next morning. Using the HP smart app allows you to get the most out of the printer however it does have a small LCD screen on the front which allows you to see some useful information such as ink levels, error codes, Wi-Fi status, number of copies and finally any issue with the paper such as paper jams. Simply put the HP Deskjet 4255e was wasy to set up and use out of the box and I hope to be using it for a few years.

Easy to use...user friendly. I love it! It works great

After receiving the HP - DeskJet 4255e Wireless All-In-One Printer and putting it though its paces, I was left a little wanting and can only give it 3 stars. Out of the box, you have to get all of the wrapping off which can be a pain in and of itself. In our home we have a desktop computer in an office and usually plug it into the printer while also printing wirelessly from phones, laptops, and tablets. The biggest problem with this printer is that there is no outlet to plug in a direct connection. You can only print wirelessly with this printer. Be sure you are aware of that. Because you can only print wirelessly, you have to use your phone to set up this printer. It has been a long time since I have set up an HP printer but I do not remember it being this difficult. The app kept glitching out and freezing. I had to delete it and reinstall. Operationally, the printer works fine. I wish HP ink was more affordable so I did not have to sign up for HP ink again. None of the plans are an exact fit for me. That being said, the print quality is very good as is usually the case with HP products, even if the print speed seems a little slow. The 4255e is a decent printer, but would be great if it had a usb port.

This printer is a good home and office printer and one of the things that attracted me to this printer was the price. This printer provides very clear and wonderful prints and it is quite efficient when it prints. Some printers move slow and takes forever to print a document but this one is quite the opposite. This printer is one that I chose for home use. It's good for printing work documents, school reports recipes etc. You can't go wrong with the purchase of this printer not only is it economical for the price, it prints fast and when it comes to the updates, they are automatically done. This printer is easy to set up and pairs well with your smart phone, and home computers as well as tablets. I believe the ink is fairly priced. they offer a high yield and low yield as far as ink is concerned. I thought that this would be a good printer to send with your kids going off to college, it doesn't break the bank and it holds up really well. Purchasing this printer is a very good investment.

Disappointed that Hp won’t allow discontinued replacement ink cartridges for printer that still functions so opted to buy the desk jet 4255e printer and was pleasantly surprised at the speed of printing, ink resolution, and very light weight to move from room to room. Couldn’t enroll in Free Hp ink for some reason, otherwise I am glad to have it.

This is a great printer for the home or small home based business. The out of box experience was great, no issues with the setup at all. Once the box was opened, everything was packaged nicely, even the printer was shrink wrapped. Then a few simple steps to get it on the network and start to print. The box has the two ink cartridges included and they were easy to install. This printer does not have a network port on it, only a USB connector that is typical of most printers. The setup requires you to install the HP Smart printer app. Then once it is installed, it shows you the steps to get the printer on your network. The printer was easy to add to Windows 10, Windows 11, and easy to add to a Chromebook with no issues at all. The scanner worked easily, both the flatbed scanner and the document feeder had no issues. HP does require you to create an account to be able to take full advantage of everything that the app has to offer. Overall, this printer worked as expected and there were no issues with the setup and using it.

Great printer. Like the instant ink subscription which was free and it's a good-looking printer!

the best budge printer to buy it does great when printing photos

Pretty sure this nay be the worst printer I've ever owned. I've met more productive bricks; atleast they're doing what they're designed to do. I can't get this thing to connect back to the wifi to save my life. After a handful of successful print jobs, it just went "nah." I'm good on never buying another HP anything ever again after dealing with this piece of trash.

My brother bought this for me about 2 years ago. The printer keeps disconnecting from the network or something because my devices frequently are unable to find the printer. Also, it prints with smudges. This was even with printing right after taking it out of a brand new box so there should have been no dirt. Also, you are unable to print without a subscription.
