Customer Ratings & Reviews

In my daily work, I work with several brands of printers. I have HP Envy 4520 for long time now with no issues at all. Its doing the job amazingly and every day. HP also doing great job on their instant ink program. Having it on all my HP printers and no complains at all. Very thoughtful and wisely priced. Back to this Envy Pro 6455: It is a newer model with the same high quality product and accurate printing. Setting it up was very easy using the phone app (I did it using iOS and repeated it with Android). iOS seems to get it easier but both did the job. After installing the printer and connecting it to the WiFi, it is ready to work... It is fairly quite and smooth printing and scanning. HP honestly did great on that. The Envy Pro 6455 has minimalist interface which honestly not really appreciated (by me at least) I like when they have the comprehensive LCD for more access and stand alone functionalities. This printer would require the use of a smart phone device to do the job properly. Scanner glass is well placed. Scanning paper feeder is working nice. in the 2 days usage, I never had a jam. It seems to do the job properly. I had the printer installed in a farther corner of the office (reasonably away from wifi router) and it was able to connect without issues. Phone app interface is really easy to use and working fairly fine. I have all the HP printers linked and I can monitor them all. It even alerts about low paper before you run out. Back to Instant Ink, HP is offering the starting program for about $3 a month for 50 pages with unused rollover up to 100 pages. After that you pay about $1 per 10 pages when you go over. All that while offering high (HP original) Ink and after sale support in case the cartridge have issues (it happened once in the 3 years). HP offers free 24 months of mobile fax with this Envy Pro 6455. It might be something some people like to have. I tried to mess around it and it looks like you can only send faxes but can't receive. It would definitely be more useful if it works both ways. Any way, it is a service that you might need one day. Some institutes still use fax only to send documents... I would recommend this for daily usage. Good for printing small to average quantity of pages daily. Good and fast WiFi link connection. Fast scanning to computer and relatively quite printing. Fashionable lights and minimalist control (LCD would be better).

I have owned, tested, or used so many printers in my life that it is hard to get worked up for "Another printer". However, after playing with the Envy 6455 Pro I find it quite charming. The app download for my phone as well as the installation of the driver app on my computer were both quick and easy. The scan to feature HP offers is top of the line and for a free device it rivals other top paid editors that are available. The print quality is perfect with crisp coloring and sharp detail. I will say this unit prints slower than its predecessor the 5500 but again it does print much cleaner. Long short, this is a great little printer, but I think this is a great little printer for the "Right" user. If you are looking to print volumes and volumes of pages, then I might suggest the 9000 series. I think this one would be great for a student or occasional use printer. The one thing that is what I referred to as the “Charming” aspect, is the general ambiance it the unit provides. I was wowed by the ambient lighting and cute little chimes of this envy and this is what makes me envision it in a dorm room or kitchen desk. They also removed the touch screens that have become common place and opted for simplicity. I know this is a bit retro in thought, but I think the touch screens tend to be too small and hard to navigate. Again, I have several printers laying around but for our home and the quantity of printing needs we actually have I made this jewel our everyday go to. In addition, I found another novel showcase on the Windows 10 app Play & Learn that takes you to HP’s website and has a wonderful selection of things you can print. From learning resources to cool builds like the home-made planetarium we are working on now. I am a fan of this unit and it this one fits your print needs, I highly recommend.

The printer definitely does what I need it to do. Set-up was easy to understand with a no-nonsense approach. The envy pro produces excellent color prints!!

Light bar is always on in Power Safe Mode. You have to switch off completely but the power button is hidden somewhere on the back of the printer.

This is my first time to have a multi purpose printer with WiFi access, I love it.

Good quality printer scanner and fax for work highly recommend this brand.

Could not believe this sale I bought this printer as a gift for my wife on christmas. I originally purchased this printer so she could print her own pictures from home from our ipad and our phones. WOW this thing did more than that it prints pictures super clean quality it can connect wirelessly to any apple device i have here at home. I can take a picture and print it instantly now Amazing. Ink price is get almost $4o for a 2 pack of ink which is black and multi color catridges. No more paying for each picture at the store. And now my wife can hang up pictures all around the house. The Printer has a nice light show it does and it illuminates the phioto or document as it comes out which is nice. I was skeptical at first but im so glad i went and purchased this printer for the price it is amazing the set up was fast and easy and i got to printing right way! Thisn is our first printer and i will definitely keep on buying HP printers. Recommend to anyone in the market for a new printer.

The hardest part about the unboxing and setup of the the HP Envy 6455e All-in-One printer is getting the ink cartridges added. I’m use to the HP OfficeJet Pro lineup which use a long thin ink cartridge, usually one cartridge per color, instead of the Envy’s two short fat cartridges. On the ink cartridge holder, there’s a plastic flap that you lift while you awkwardly angle and push in the two cartridges until they kind of snap into place, at which point the plastic lid slides down creating a type of cradle to keep them in place. If you can get this part correct, the rest of the product is a breeze to setup. The Envy is the first printer I’ve had in twenty-five years that does not come with a display screen. The Envy uses a smart control panel where buttons appear only when needed. This technology didn’t work all that well during the initial setup process, specifically during the printer alignment step. During this phase of setup a page is printed then needs to be scanned. Pressing the scan button that lit up did nothing. Eventually the printer hit some type of internal timeout and the button flashed a couple of times, I pressed the scan button a couple more times and eventually the printer figured out how to scan the document and complete the alignment setup process. Post setup, a firmware update was installed and no similar problems have occurred so make sure you get that firmware update installed. Adobe released the 2020 Coloring Book the day before the printer arrived so I downloaded this 72-page 800MB PDF from Adobe: https://creativecloud.adobe.com/cc/discover/article/adobe-coloring-book-2020. Printing this thing two-sided on HP’s premium photo paper would be a great test case for the Envy. I started by trying to print a single page from the Coloring Book and the result was an 8.5 X 11 full page of solid black ink. It was not what I was hoping for, but this accident illustrated that the Envy is not all that great when it comes to large solid black prints, as the printer suffers from banding see Image number 1 included. Image number 2 of a three-eyed woman was printed on an HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M479fdw using the same paper used with the Envy. Notice the black sky is solid black with no banding. Looking at the same image printed with the Envy in image number 3, the banding presents heavily in the sky, but the remainder of the document looks crisp. Image number 4 of the mermaids is the LaserJet, Image number 5 is the Envy. They are almost identical and the Envy does great with small patches of black. The bottom line here is that the Envy is great for everyday printing, but is not a printer I would turn to if you plan to print photos. Note that the images you are seeing here were printed, then scanned using the Envy’s automatic document feeder and the HP Smart App for macOS with the default resolution of 300dpi Print quality aside, the double-sided printing feature had the 72 page coloring book printed in around 15 minutes. Approximately 4 minutes of that total time was the printer giving the ink about 6-8 seconds to dry before pulling the page back over to flip on the other side. It’s not the fastest printer around but I’ll take quality of printing over speed any day of the week. Without an LCD to display warning and errors, the printer comes with a speaker that emits all kinds of musical chimes to alert you to activity including inserting or removing paper into the 35-page automatic document feeder (ADF). The ADF is not particularly fast or slow but worked well and the speaker emits loud enough sounds to get my attention when necessary. The last area I’ll comment on is HP Plus. HP’s subscription service to assist with automatic ink cartridges when necessary. The day after printing the 72-page coloring book, the single black page, and nothing else, I opened up the HP Smart App (version 12.6.2 (552) from my macOS and the app displayed a warning that the ink levels are low. Closing the app, rebooting the macOS and then re-opening the HP Smart app results in no warning sign about the ink levels, but Image 5 shows you the current estimated ink levels. I’m feeling ignorant as I’m not sure why printing 73 pages of black results in the color ink cartridges being used at all, but it will be interesting to see when this printer actually triggers a new cartridge to be ordered. If you do sign up for HP Plus, HP indicates that the ink cartridges you receive will include MORE ink than what you get by going to a retailer, and I hope more ink than what comes in the box as the starter set of ink.

Pros: - Sleek clean design. I love how it matches our furniture. - ADF for scanner - Instant Ink program - HP Smart app is easy to use and monitor Cons: - No screen but you can do everything else on the app - initial set up required app download This printer is replacing my aging HP PhotoSmart 7520. It was hands down the best printer ever made. HP Envy Pro 6455 is a good solid printer for everyday printing and a piece of technology that doesn't have to look like a sore thumb in the study room.

I recently purchased the HP Envy 6455 printer, and I must say, it has exceeded my expectations in every aspect. This printer offers an impressive combination of performance, versatility, and ease of use, making it an ideal choice for both personal and professional use. First and foremost, the print quality of the Envy 6455 is outstanding. Whether I'm printing documents, photos, or graphics, the sharpness, clarity, and vibrant colors never fail to impress. Additionally, the printer supports borderless printing, allowing me to create stunning photos with a professional touch. Setting up the Envy 6455 was a breeze. The user-friendly setup guide and on-screen instructions made the process quick and straightforward. Connecting the printer to my Wi-Fi network was effortless, enabling seamless wireless printing from any device within my home or office. The printer also supports mobile printing, which is incredibly convenient when I need to print something on the go. One feature that sets the Envy 6455 apart is its automatic double-sided printing capability. This not only saves paper but also helps reduce environmental impact. The printer's automatic document feeder (ADF) enables hassle-free scanning and copying of multiple pages, further enhancing productivity. The Envy 6455 comes with a variety of connectivity options, including USB, Wi-Fi Direct, and Bluetooth. This allows me to connect and print from a wide range of devices, such as laptops, smartphones, and tablets. The HP Smart app provides seamless control over the printer's functions and settings, making it easy to manage printing tasks remotely. Another standout feature is the Envy 6455's instant ink replacement program. The printer monitors ink levels and automatically orders new cartridges when needed, ensuring I never run out of ink at critical moments. This convenient service saves time and ensures uninterrupted printing. In terms of design, the Envy 6455 boasts a sleek and compact form factor that easily fits into any workspace. The intuitive touch screen display simplifies navigation through menus and settings, allowing for effortless operation. Lastly, HP's reliable customer support deserves a mention. Should you encounter any issues or have questions, HP's support team is readily available to assist and ensure a smooth printing experience. In conclusion, the HP Envy 6455 printer is a top-notch device that delivers exceptional print quality, impressive features, and effortless connectivity. Its user-friendly setup, wireless capabilities, automatic double-sided printing, and convenient ink replacement program make it an excellent choice for home offices, small businesses, and creative individuals alike. I highly recommend the Envy 6455 for anyone in need of a reliable, versatile, and high-performing printer.

I used this printer a lot for my label prints. Easy set up, good quality and gets the job done.

Setup was easy and its a fast, yet quiet printer. Perfect for what i use it for (printing shipping labels mainly and the scanner for listing items on eBay) and it looks great. Not overly big or bulky and fits neatly on my workstation. Its a very fair price for a quality printer plus sign up for HP Ink and have cartridges delivered directly to your house when you are running low. I highly recommend

Easy to set up. Links with your devices wirelessly. small footprint but does everything the larger printers do. Sharp copies, quiet operation. Only one minus, no digital screen. Only lighted buttons that nevertheless do the job.

I love my new printer! It was incredibly easy to set up. It prints quickly and I love the fact that it can print double-sided without me having to get up and turn the page over either from my computer or my cell phone. It is very quiet except when using the top-loading tray to print. It also scans which I needed. I wasn't necessarily interested in the Instant Ink-Ready package or subscription, but I truly think it will cost me less to print compared to buying ink cartridges either on the store or online. This printer is pretty streamlined and fits well on my bookshelf like my 11 year-old printer. The one tip is that the Instant Ink-Ready package or subscription asks that the printer be left on all the time so according to its wifi or internet connection can tell when new ink cartridges will be ordered and sent without you having to put in a request. However, I feel that is a waste of electricity and I haven't had an issue with turning off the printer when I wasn't using it. I couldn't find the instructions on how to turn off the printer, but I found it online. It is the back of the printer and easy to turn off.

You'd be hard pressed to buy a brand new home inkjet printer in this day and age that does not produce the quality output. The HP Envy 6455e is no exception: It produces high, inkjet quality prints. Consequently, your decision should probably be driven by *features* and *price*. When selecting this printer, I was looking outside of my normal "home office" criteria as this printer ultimately is not for me. It will be handed down to my college student this fall as a basic, fallback printing/scanning option should he need it in his apartment. Thus, my criteria was "inexpensive, entry-level printer with decent ink prices with a very low (anticipated) duty cycle." ***Features: "Minimally robust." If I am being 100% honest, HP's approach is not for me. I have worked in IT for over 25 years and have literally serviced, purchased and installed hundreds of printers. I have seen installation processes change, quality improve, features enhanced...but I feel like HP took a step backwards with their "minimalist" approach to printer interaction. I do not like the lack of an LED display screen on this printer. Nor do I like that I cannot see what the 6 icons (oh wait, there is a 7th icon if you count the digital number display) are at all times. Nor can you touch them unless they want to be touched (i.e. if you put an object on the glass, the copy icon will light up). Call me old-fashioned, but I don't want to be forced to use my phone or laptop to configure my printer/scanner/copier actions when I am standing at the device. For example: If I want to scan a document to Google Drive from the printer, I want a touchscreen ON THE PRINTER that gives me that option--I don't want to have to pull out my phone and "beam" the instructions to the printer. That being said, there are a LOT of features available through the app--an app can be installed on Windows, iOS and Android devices with relative ease via the 123.hp.com website or your app store. One potentially useful feature...that I have not yet mastered...is the "hold your print job" service (Private Pickup). I can see value in a feature where you can send a job to the printer but not have it print until you are standing at the device. At the same time, I question if you really need that functionality on a "home" printer. Private printing is more of a business service. [Full disclosure: I tried Private Printing a Google Photos image from my phone multiple times and failed each time. Probably my fault, but maybe not. I quit exploring the feature after 4 fails.] ***Price: "Average price for an entry-level printer." The price of this AIO is reasonable. Price per print is average if you are buying OEM ink at retail prices. At $30 for the black+color package with estimated 120pg yield black and 100pg yield color you should spend around 25¢/pg ($30/120pages) mixed content. To be fair, though, assessing a "per page" price to home printing is a crap shoot. With the HP+ Instant Ink service, the price per page game changes and gets confusing. The HP+ Instant Ink service is NOT something I plan on keeping after the trial period because I just don't think the printer will get that much use in our household. Nonetheless, I signed up for the service without much of an idea of what I was doing. I picked the 99¢ plan based on how little we print. I guess that means that if I print ~12 pages per month I will run out of ink in ~10 months. I will have spent $10 on my ink subscription. They will ship the ink to me and I saved essentially $20 over the $30 black+color bundle "off the shelf" price? Seems like a bargain, until maybe it is not on months where I go over? I don't understand the overage fees. I did see that I can "rollover" up to 45 pages of overage in my plan but again, seems confusing. I must be getting old. ***Overall Experience: "The HP Envy 6455e is an AIO printer that performs adequately but is a bit sluggish." From the moment I broke the tape seal on the box to the moment I printed my first document from my laptop took about 20 minutes. Initially, I was confused by the lack of buttons and displays on the printer but once I realized everything about this printer starts with an app (accessible via 123.hp.com) I was able to connect the printer to wifi via the app seamlessly. Should you not have instructions handy, the printer will generate them for you once you have paper and ink loaded. Nonetheless, the app is an evil necessity of this printer...which again, is a foreign and frustrating concept to me. [Note: My instruction printout was poorly aligned. During the initial setup process the printer generates a "test pattern" that you place on the glass to clean up alignment issues via voodoo, lasers and magic. In my second image you can see that output following the alignment is fine.] Regardless, 20 minutes after unboxing I could print from my phone or laptop. As for the things I cannot stand aside from having to control everything via an app because HP didn't include an on-device display/control screen? The printer has "ground effect" lights that I have not figure out how to turn off. This printer is constantly glowing which I find annoying. It also "plays sounds" when jobs finish which is totally unnecessary. ***Pros: - Small footprint - Quiet - Mobile printing - ADF (auto document feeder--for scanning/copying) - Duplex printing - Dual band wifi - Up to 1200dpi scanning (but only 300dpi copying) - Scan to cloud/email (via app--again, no LED screen on printer to scan direct to cloud/email from the printer) - "Self-healing wifi" (not sure what that means, but I assume it just means it stores settings to reconnect to wifi/devices if they go offline) ***Cons: - Holds about 5 sheets of paper in the paper tray. (Not really, but the paper tray is only about .5" deep and HP claims up to 100 sheets of paper but I question that number) - Maxes out at 9 copies per session - Doesn't support "oversized" papers but accepts letter, A4, 4x6, 5x7, 8x10 and #10 envelopes - Constantly illuminated (as shown in other review posts) - Tri-color ink cartridge means you are undoubtedly throwing out excess of the other two colors when one color runs out - No on-printer display screen Notes: - Manual duplex scanning - Enlarge and reduce options - Not the fastest inkjet printer I have used, but adequate for home/infrequent printing - White devices usually turn yellow over time If you don't mind using an app to do anything beyond simple printing, this inkjet is as good as any--especially if you prefer a subscription ink service over buying your own. Given the HP Instant Ink is essentially a "flat rate" plan (they don't appear to separate color ink from black ink in their subscription plan) I can see benefits especially if you do a lot of color printing. If the idea of an ink subscription service annoys you...or the idea of having to use an app to control the features of your printer annoys you...then consider looking elsewhere.

The HP Envy Pro 6455 Wireless All In One (AIO) Inkjet Printer is great for home office productivity. You can even get Ink sent to your house automatically if you wish. Here are the features: • Setup/App Unfortunately this was the hard part for me. I downloaded the HP app and tried to setup the printer from HP easy setup. I couldn’t get the HP printer to setup wirelessly. I tried the networks and passwords and never came up with a match. I made sure that the HP printer was matched with the Smart phone HP app on the same network. I kept getting a message that I needed to update firmware and a missing driver. It was no small task to get these 2 things working with the HP printer. After a lot of trial and error, I was finally to setup the HP Envy Pro 6455 with a USB Type B to USB Type A cable (not included). I was happy just to be connected now. The other ways you can connect are through Dual Band WiFi, Bluetooth and USB (that is what I did). • Printing Printing was easy and less time consuming than the setup. The printed paper came out beautiful and sharp. The inkjet printers are known for their speed and clarity in printing. The HP Envy Pro 6455 was no different. I copied and pasted different bits of notes to a Word document. I had no issues or troubles at all. The HP printer even has an auto two sided printing feature to save on paper. • Ink Cartridges HP ink No. 67 black and No. 67 color are the ink cartridges that were supplied. I had to lift up the flatbed scanner and underneath for the ink to be installed. This was a very simple task of peeling off of tape and inserting the ink cartridge longer end first. There is a black top for black ink and purple top for color ink. Make sure your printer in on! ISO (International Standards Organization) rates the color per minute at 7 pages and in black at 10 pages. These speeds help you stay on task with your printing projects. • Copy/Scan After printing a test page, the HP printer told me to scan it. So I placed the print page (Printside down) on the scanner. It worked quickly and printed out the test page for aligning and ink saturation. Copying pages was a breeze as from printing several pages to scanning to copy a page. No problem or issues there. The flatbed scanner resolution is up to 1200 x 1200 dpi while the color resolution is up to 4800 x 4800 dpi. I scanned in a color picture and printed it off on glossy paper. It turned out really well. I have included the pics in my photos. Another feauture which is very helpful is borderless printing. There is no need to cut off the edges if there is not any! • Auto Document Paper Feeder At the bottom of the HP printer is located a paper tray. Slide out the tray to add 100 pages of paper to the printer. You can also add paper to the top of the HP printer. Place the paper in the upper tray and it will go through the paper feeder to be printed on. • Control Panel There are several ways to run the HP printer from the control panel. There are 7 icons that guide you to do what you want with the printer. The symbols are: Information, Cancel, Resume, Copy, Power, Wireless Setup and ADF Error. There are instructions on how to use the control panel in the manual on the HP website. Overall this is a great HP printer for copying, scanning, printing, the HP app and high capacity paper tray. The pages print fast in color or B&W. I am overall happy with the HP ENVY Pro 6455 AIO printer, but disappointed I couldn’t get the app to run.

Absolutely love this printer. It’s lightweight (compared to my previous printer), extremely functional and easy to setup. Even with the smaller footprint it holds a substantial amount of paper and prints super quick. The scanner is great and I love that you can scan multiple pages front and back at once. The ink is affordable (compared to my previous HP printer) and the instant ink option is super cost effective and helps to ensure you always have what you need before you run out. The app is a great feature as well to print, scan and see the status of the printer. Highly recommend! I’ve had a lot of printers from HP, to Lexmark and a few others and this HP envy is by far the best printer ever!

Solid printer, not too expensive on ink and a good usage ratio. Little slow like all other ink jets are, but for home use its perfect and small in size which is great

The things I like is about this printer. It is not bulky and it and its not very loud it prints fairly quickly. I like that it will print from my phone as that is really handy. The install was pretty straight forward and easy to do. The things I am not so excited about is the print quality. It is good for everyday printing and scanning. It makes nice photos. As for detail and brightness of the colors it is okay. For the price I guess it is nice for a small home office. If the ink looked great on plain paper then I would give it 5 but for what it does it was a good investment.

Easy to set up. The wireless feature gets rid of tangled cords and the ink level update prevents unexpected emergencies. The paper tray is easy to access and load, as are the ink cartridges. The printer fits well on a shelf with limited overhead space, is quiet when printing, as well as being quite fast.
