Don’t buy this product
When to replace the multicolored inc, put a new one in, it doesn’t work. Bought another one brand new multicolored. Inc doesn’t work something to do with the contacts

DO NOT BUY – Worst Purchase of 2024 By Far
I wish I could return this godawful printer. I cannot wait until I purchase its replacement and can take this abomination to an abandoned field and beat it to bits with a bat. Yes, it is cheap, but it is worth far less than what I paid for it.This is my first time using an at-home printer in awhile, and it is hands down the worst printer I have ever used. I have to repeatedly contact HP because the printer refuses to connect to Wifi when it or the Wifi is rebooted. HP’s Printer Portal is a JOKE and does nothing except confirm that the printer is offline. If the printer gets disconnected for any reason, you have to call HP to get it reconnected to Wifi since the Printer Portal does not provide options for connecting it. You also cannot stop the printer from performing a print job, even if you cancel said job from the queue, meaning you have to choose between wasting ink or unplugging the printer and contacting HP Customer Service to get it reconnected.The UX experience gets a 0 out of 5, and while the printer does work once it is properly set up (which is near impossible to do on your own if you do not have an technology background), it takes about 5-10 minutes just to get connected to HP Customer Service any time you have an issue (which, in theory, should be able to be addressed in their online portal, but which, in practice, is impossible to resolve without professional assistance). Add another 5 minutes while they confirm everything about you save whether you are an organ donor. HP Customer Service has also made me carry my printer to different locations in my house because of how hard it is to get it connected to the internet (connectivity is not an issue for any other electronic device I own). This printer now sits within six inches of my router, and still it cannot reconnect to Wifi if anything disrupts its connection.I got this printer so I could quickly print drafts of my writing and do handwritten revisions. I have pretty much given up on using it after only a month of it being set up given the many issues I’ve encountered in such a short time. HP is actively creating waste in the world by putting out such bad products, and I will not be purchasing any other HP product, printer or otherwise, ever again.

Reliable All-in-One Printer with Minor Drawbacks
I’ve been using the HP DeskJet 4255e for a few months now, and it’s a solid performer for home use. Here’s my take on it:Pros:Versatility: This printer does it all – print, scan, copy, and even fax. It’s a great all-in-one solution for home offices or households with multiple users.Wireless Connectivity: Setting up the wireless connection was a breeze, and it stays reliably connected. I can print from my phone or computer without any hassle. Having that feature alone makes the cost worth it for me.Print Quality: The print quality is good for everyday tasks like printing documents, photos, and even some graphics. The colors are vibrant, and the text is sharp. My wife uses the prints for her CRICUT designs and they look amazing.Compact Design: It’s compact and doesn’t take up too much space, which is perfect for smaller home offices or apartments.HP Instant Ink: The included 3 months of HP Instant Ink is a nice touch. It saves me the hassle of running out of ink unexpectedly, and the subscription is affordable.Cons:Noise Level: The printer can be a bit noisy, especially during multi-page printing or scanning. It’s not deafening, but it’s noticeable. At the end of the day, this is a minor issue…. it’s a printer.Cost of Ink: While the HP Instant Ink subscription is convenient, the cost of ink can add up if you print frequently. It’s something to keep in mind if you’re a heavy user. Also, be aware the free color ink included does not actually work if you don’t sign up for the HP service. So be sure to buy color ink separately if you don’t want to pay for a subscription.Speed: The print speed is decent, but it’s not the fastest. For large print jobs, it might take a bit longer than some higher-end models.Overall, the HP DeskJet 4255e is a reliable and versatile all-in-one printer that’s well-suited for home use. It offers good print quality and wireless connectivity but be mindful of the noise level and ink costs if you’re a heavy user.

Very hard to set up!
It was a very rocky start setting up this HP printer. HP gives you no printed instructions just a video. That would have been fine except half way through set up the video instructions don’t match what the printer is asking for. Could not get WiFi to connect and could find nothing in video or on line through HP with any suggestions on what to try next! They didn’t even have any “what to try if” instructions!Luckily this was not my first printer set up and I just went on my own experience with other printer setups. Seat of my pants kind of thing! Finally got it done and so far printer has been doing what it should do PRINT!I like the paper loading in back since I had lot of problems with my Cannon printer tray and paper jams, And I like having a printer cable for my lap top, I also like the ink delivery and recycle system.I was not looking for lots of features – just reliable printing. So far so good on that count. Price was right also!

This printer is great for your home use
I know now why I like HP they are so easy to set up. This was delivered taken out of the box. All the packaging was removed, followed the instructions connected to the Internet immediately print quality is great no issues whatsoever. I had a Canon. Pixma spent hours trying to connect to the Internet never did work. They kept telling me I had to have 2G and 5G and all this different stuff oh and by the way Cannon charges you for Service this HP was set up and running within 15 minutes great little printer for home use it’s awesome. This was the first thing I printed just as a test. Thing about the HP set up was easy fast and no problems.

Very good printer, would definitely recommend. Does feel a bit cheap but other than that is great for the price.

Es una porquería!A veces conecta e imprime sin problema otras veces es desesperante imprimir una sola hoja.Imprimí como 30 hojas en baja calidad y ya requiere otro cartucho. La voy a devolver. Y la promoción de cartuchos gratis no aplica en México.
