Easy and quick set up
I liked that the HP deskjet 4252e printer is easy to set up, comes with instructions and a QR code to scan and download the HP printer app and connect with the WiFi for easy printing and quick printing. It comes with the black and color ink. I signed up for the option to get ink deliberated when I’m low and they also have one month free paper delivered.
All in one printer makes copy’s and fax pages, good quality photos.

Perfect printer for my needs!
This printer is perfect for my household needs. Great size doesn't take up a lot of room. Pretty easy to set up the printer to my wi-fi and to my computer. The only issue was in the instructions it made it seem like we should take off the tape looking thing on the printer cartridge, it ended up ruining the cartridge and we had to go out and spend $50 for a new one. There is a tape looking thing at the end of the cartridge, on the instructions it looks like you are supposed to remove, don't do it. Great print quality and easy connectivity.

Beautiful print quality!
HP DeskJet 4252e All in one series delivers the most amazing , sharp print quality I have seen! It does take a bit to print and the paper tray does not hold a lot of paper. It is pretty compact and perfect for my home office. It is pretty lightweight and very easy to set up. I was able to hook it up to my wifi to print documents from my phone. I would definitely recommend this printer to anyone with a home office looking for a more affordable high quality printer.

Great printer for home use
The HP4255e printer is easy to configure with wifi, it's great for home use projects, it prints fast and its colors are very good, it comes with 3 months of free ink and with the HP+ subscription option which has no cost and good benefits such as print when you are not at home with the hp smart app and order inks at a very low cost and an extra year of warranty protection. Definitely a very good investment at a very low cost.

Perfect Size
The HP DeskJet 4255e is a great addition to my home office. I am pleased that the printer is a 3 in 1 as I use my printer to print out things on a regular basis. Also I am a huge fan of instant ink and this printer is instant ink compatible. Now I do not have to worry with running out of ink. It was easy to set up with my wifi network and I use the hp app that goes along with the printer. So far as the pages being printed. The pages come out a nice quality and no smears. The buttons are easy to access and the paper is easy to load.
Overall I am very pleased with the quality and print speed.

Terrific easy to use family printer!
This was much simpler than expected due to the HP Smart free app that came with it! We all love it because we can print from any room in the house with our desktops, laptops, phones or kindles! I love wifi printers! Plus, it even came with 3 months free ink and is a combo printer/scanner as well! We love this printer and think you will too!

Fast printing!
I love my HP DeskJet 4252 printer. It prints vibrant photo very fast. I’ve never had a printer that prints so quickly and still great quality. I love how quick and easy the set up was. Took about 5 minutes. Can’t wait to keep using it for all my diy projects. Oh and lastly the size. It actually takes up less space than my last. Love that because I have toddlers so I keep it on my kitchen counter.

Great printer
The printer was pretty easy to setup using the app. Once I got it setup and printed my first few pages the printer could no longer be found. I spent a day trying to figure it out on my own and two plus hours with tech support. After while they stated it was because I had a VPN installed on my phone. I took it off and it still did not work. I did manage to use a household members phone and after about an hour plus it eventually connected to theirs. Not sure what the issue was with that phone as it did not have a VPN. It is a nice little printer for small print Jobs. I find that it goes a little slow for me compared to what I'm use to. I was provided with three months free instant ink which is a plus and saves money. Once I signed up for that I was offered a monthly subscription to recieve paper with my ink as well when they are low. I love having that automatically and I no longer have to search for ink to purchase.

Nice little HP printer!
I got this all-in one desk jet printer by HP, thanks to the Insiders campaign. You can print, scan, fax and copy with this compact, wireless printer. It has an automatic, 35 page document feeder, making it easy to print or copy multiple items. I connected it very easily using the HP print app. You can print, scan, copy, or fax right from your smartphone, tablet or desktop computer using the HP print app. Setup took about 20 minutes and it was really easy using the HP set up instructions. This HP DeskJet 4255e, all-in-one printer is the perfect size for your desk. I do highly recommend this HP printer for printing, scanning, copying or faxing. It’s the perfect little printer for your home office use.

incredibly practical and comfortable
Apparently it looks like a simple printer, but when you get to see its brain and the countless functions it has, your jaw drops.
Its configuration is very easy, which makes it suitable for all types of audiences, the connection between devices is very easy.
What I liked most is being able to print my documents from anywhere and not having to be close or connected to the same network
The print quality is very good, it takes time to print in color or pages with a lot of content but the result is very positive. The 3 free months of supplements allow you to test this machine more frequently. without a doubt the best friend for your home or small business

Great Lightweight Printer
I was in need of a new printer after my last HP printer that I have had for over 10 years started acting up. I knew I was always going to go with HP because I absolutely love the HP Instant Ink program! I would never have a printer without it. I love that I don't have to monitor my ink levels. When my ink starts to get low, HP automatically sends me new cartridges to have on hand for when my current ones run out! All you do is pay a small monthly fee and ink just magically appears at your door and you don't even have to pay extra for it. As for the performance of the printer itself. It was very easy to set up. The step-by-step instructions that were included made it very easy to plug in and follow along. The printer is lightweight and easy to move around if needed. I was happy that it fit into the small space that my previous printer was in. I am able to print from my laptop, tablet and phones which makes it so convenient. The print speed and quality are awesome. I have been able to print documents and photos with ease and they all turned out great. The scanner works quickly and scans to a high quality print. Overall I am very happy with my purchase and I would definitely recommend HP and this particular printer model to anyone who is looking for a new in-home printer.

HP Printers March Campaign
This HP 4255e printer was fairly easy to set up, from start to finish taking about 15 minutes, as you have to create a profile online and set it up through your smartphone. You also have to subscribe to a monthly or yearly membership. This allows you to print directly from your phone to your printer from wherever you are, as long as you’re on Wi-Fi. HP also gave a big discount on ink with this subscription.
The lack of noise and printing speed of this 4200 series is pretty impressive.
Also, I would like to point out that the photo I posted of the flowers is printed on regular paper and not photo paper. I did that on purpose to show how vivid the colors are even on regular paper. It took about 7 seconds to print that large color picture!! I tried posting the video of it printing but it wouldn’t upload.
In conclusion, I would definitely recommend the HP 4255e printer as it can definitely handle whatever home or small business printing projects you have!

Efficient, and good value
I tested this printer against my photo envy printer, and while this model of deskjet is very much efficient in what it’s supposed to do, it didn’t quite out perform against its contender. I was hoping that this model would be an instant connecting model for easier set up, but it didn’t quite hit the mark there. Regardless, it was relatively easy to connect to the WiFi once taking a few extra steps to create an account and doing the connectivity steps. The last thing I was hoping this desk jet would do better on was speed of printing. This was substantially a bit slower printing than the envy printer, but it’s nothing that would make me take a total dislike to this model. This deskjet is still very much up to the standards I expect from an HP printer. Pages printed crisply and with the included instant ink trial, this is a good value. I would definitely recommend this model for the average person in terms of getting the job done.

HP printing function is very complete
My old all-in-one printer was outdated enough that there was no longer support available for it, so the hunt was on for a replacement. I was pleasantly surprised to find this unit with all the features and functions I wanted at such a great price. Setup was fairly easy and when coupled with the HP Smart app printing documents stored on my phone via WiFi was a breeze. The driver is pre installed and it even came with starter ink. Set up was easy and quick. Printing quality is very good. I really like how the paper feed is on the backside and how the scanner works and prints. The setup process was easy and straightforward, and I was up and printing within minutes. The print quality is excellent, with clear and sharp text and vibrant colors. The printer is also fast, delivering pages at a quick pace. I appreciate the ability to print from my phone or tablet using the HP Smart app, making it convenient to print from anywhere in my home. One thing that I really like about this printer is its compact size, which makes it easy to fit on my desk without taking up too much space. The paper tray can hold a decent amount of pages, and the printer is compatible with a variety of paper sizes. Overall, I highly recommend the HP printer for anyone in need of a reliable, high-quality printer that is easy to set up and use.

Great printer for small jobs
I was pleasantly surprised at how lightweight this printer is. It's not big and bulky. The initial set up was simple and the directions were easy to follow. Once you install the app on your device it will also walk you through set up. The paper tray is small and it will not hold a lot of paper. It's great if you don't print a lot at once. The digital screen is small and it's a little difficult to read. I do love that this comes with a free 3 month trial that provides you with ink. Once the 3 month trial is over the actual monthly price is really a good deal.

Does it’s job!
Overall, the HP DeskJet 4255e does exactly what it’s supposed to do. It was easy to set up and I was printing within 15 minutes. The quality of printing was clear and professional. The color photo turned out crisp and clear. I wish the paper tray held more sheets of paper. The photo printing was slower than expected. So, overall- it does its’s job! Curious on how long the printing cartridges will last and how expensive it will be to replace.

Over all with the speed, the print quality I would recommend this product for anyone looking for a good printer with an affordable purchase price.

Fast and Foolproof Duplex Printing
If you have a home office setup and frequently print or scan documents you'll appreciate the speed of the HP DeskJet printer and the duplex scanner.
The set-up through the app is instant and the automated refills are really convenient. Being able to print documents from my phone is a big help and I had a refill delivered to my door without having to press a single button.
The size is relatively compact and fits well into an office or living room setup.

Teachers dream
I was looking for a smaller printer that I could use at home but still produces an effective job. This printer didn't dissapoint. The ink cartridges were easy to click in and I loved that it has the capabilities of printing black or color jobs. At first I thought oh no I have to sync this printer to the internet and my phone but this process was easy with the easy to read instructions and prompts on your phone. In fact an elementary age child could hook up the printer. I also loved it has scanning abilities. My favorite was it comes with 3 months of ink with purchase. It does not take up much space and this will be perfect to print my back to school papers. You even get to print a test sheet which is pictured in the below pictures to make sure it works correctly and aligned correctly.

Printing Perfection
I've been a loyal user of HP printers for decades and I can honestly say that the newest addition to my home office. the HP Deskjet 4255e, did not disappoint. The set-up was easy and intuitive, I had no issue connecting it to my home Wi-Fi or getting it going. My computer quickly picked up the new printer and was able to print without any fuss. I've found that over the last month there's been no noticeable depreciation of the ink despite regular color/bw use and the print quality is exceptional. Overall, I highly recommend this model of HP printer and have nothing but positive feedback regarding the performance.

HP Deskjet works great
I received the HP Deskjet 4255e and unpacked it immediately. I followed the easy setup directions & was printing beautiful pages both in color & black & white within 10 minutes. The print is very crisp and clean and will make running our small family business very easy. I love the quality of the pages and the professional look. Now my estimates and billing statements will look professional. Thanks HP!
I received this printer at a discounted price in exchange for my honest opinion.

Sleek and Quick
I have owned HP printers in the past and it has lasted me a long time so I am not new to the hp brand. I am loving the HP DeskJet 4255e. It is so clean looking and fits nicely into a small space. The setup was seamless and easy via wifi and also creating my account with HP. The printer is great for home use. I would not recommend for business use. However, this is a budget printer that has all the essentials you would need. It prints quick whether in black or color. It has e-printing and makes printing anywhere around the house very easy. Although I am giving this printer 5 stars, I didn't like the tiny screen.

Easy set up and Go!
I needed a newer printer to do my taxes and other forms for my small business but did not want something too big for my space so I chose this one. It was a very easy set up with wifi and I was able to start printing right away.
I used the copy feature to see if the colors would match and they matched very well. I then printed using the black and white prints for documents and it was fast and printing well from across the house. I then tried to use the color print for a photo and it took me a little while to figure out how to do so. I chose not to use the automatic ink ordering system and I am not sure if that created an issue withe the downloaded software. I use a MacBook Pro laptop with the newest OS system. At first all I could get was a black and white print but then I found if I went into the EAsy Start software instead of the Smart software and chose print photo I had the option of printing in color. I am not going to use this for color photos as I see lines in the print. They are not too noticable until one gets close but they are there. I will use it for color documents if I can find that feature without using the EAsy Start software. I will update as I go along as to how one can print in color and avoid using the photo menu.

Best printer to have
I received the deskjet 4255e from HP. It arrived safely in great packaging. This was so easy to set up straight from the box and I was using it within minutes. The app for the phone and software download for ky laptop didn't take but a few minutes to set up for use. The printer prints great with vibrant colors as well as black and white. The printing wasn't slow either. The scan and copy feature was great as well. I highly recommend this printer whether for a small business or just for home use.

Great Desk Printer for Everyday
This HP DeskJet printer is definitely something to contend with. I really was excited to receive it and when I did, I was not disappointed. This printer is not only seamless when it comes to how it prints your documents, but it also does so very quietly. I mainly use my printer for every day use including printing shipping labels, copies of work documents, and things for around the home. I had a previous HP printer before this, but it never really worked as well as I wished. However, this HP DeskJet printer really is working out great and I’m so happy with the product so far. Can’t recommend it enough for anyone needing a printer for every day use around the home or office.

Great Home Printer
I have the DeskJet 4252e Printer. It was by far the easiest to set up, it connected to WiFi and Bluetooth easily. I was printing within minutes of unboxing. I tried out photo paper, copy paper, and shirt transfer paper. All printed with ease, the colors were vibrant, and the scanner is a great bonus. I was hesitant about how printing from my phone would be, but it could not have been easier. HP really made sure this was a good quality, user friendly printer.
