Hype or Not HP Printer
Here's my honest review for the HP DeskJet 4252e Printer. 1st the packaging is amazing and so official because it's package well so printer is not damage and it's shrink wrap! All the previous printed I've brought didn't have shrink wrap. So that make me go ouuuuu. 2nd set up is easy because you can just connect through your phone and go to website and then type in your wifi from phone instead of previous printer where you have to type it on printer. It connected very easy! Only thing I would improve is the printer set up because it required you to create an account and log in to print some which is annoying because I felt that it should just be able to connect via wifi and print like older printer. For me it's the process of creating a new account. 3. Printing via wifi is annoying at 1st but once you set the setting, it's simple and print well. No smudge and the ink color is great on regular paper. I own a small business that produces lot of stickers and paper goods so we will see how the color hold up then. 4. I hate how the tray load paper upwards because a few time it was caught and jam, not sure if it's my paper or printer because paper jam also was common on my other printer. So I will try different paper to see. I love how it can print, scan, and copy all in 1. My son and I enjoying photocopying our hands and framing it. Overall, printer use and services out but 4 out 5 for the set up.

An all in one printer that prints from any device
Given the volume of home-based printing and the need to scan documents, the HP DesktJet 4252e is a formidable option. The all-in-one printer is capable of scanning, copying, and printing. Setup is moderate, as downloading the HP Smart Software on my PC and installing the mobile app to setup Wi-Fi and enrolling in the Instant Ink program took me an additional 20-25 minutes. After that, the printer was ready to go, and I could monitor the status of the printer and ink from my phone easily. The best part of this printer is the ability to scan and copy documents when I am away from the printer with the automatic document feeder. This comes in handy when I have long documents and saves me the time from manually scanning each page separately and combining them into one document. I like that the printer has a color and black cartridge, as color printing comes in handy for art projects. The quality is superb and I am excited to have a lightweight and compact all in one printer. The LCD screen is small and you'll have to check error codes if you don't have your mobile app pulled up, so that can be inconvenient if you have any issues. There are very few buttons, but they make operating the DeskJet 4252e fairly easy. I like the three free months of instant ink, and monthly costs are affordable. It's nice to have considering there is one tri-color cartridge, so if one color goes out, HP will send a whole cartridge to replace that one with the Instant Ink program. The printing speed is acceptable for home-based printing. I wouldn't get this for volume based printing, but for regular home use it is great. If you are looking for a simple all-in-one with the ability to print from computers, tablets, and phones, along with a subscription based ink program, the HP DeskJet 4252e will not disappoint.

Good for some, not for all
First impressions out of the box: sleek, lightweight and basic. The screen is very small. My wife doesn't have the best eyesight, so the screen was hard to read. The paper tray can be tucked away when not in use. After removing all the tape, set up was about 15 minutes. Did not see the step 5 in the quick set up guide for set up and animations. But since using a printer before I knew how to install ink and paper. Not a lot of paper will fit in the loading tray, just a pinch, so not ideal for big projects. Wireless printing worked great. Printing speed was efficient. Even tried to print a photo using HP glossy photo paper. It took 1 minute & 15 sec but the picture came out nice. This printer is good for printing and copying documents; small projects only. Photo printing is good for a couple of photos, not an album. But also not sure how many photos you can get before new ink cartridges are needed. Overall this printer will not work for my family. Its not fast enough and as basic as they come. The screen size is just too small.

Great!
I love this printer! It's replacing an almost 10 year old HP that I have, and I love how fast it prints. It was simple to set up and connect to my wifi, and the free trial of HP Ink is a plus. I like that the copier bed is a nice size, and I like that I can scan or copy multiple pages at a time. I'd highly recommend this for a basic printing needs, home office, or small business needs.

Excellent printer.
This HP Deskjet 4252e, printer is great. Quick and easy set up had me printing within minutes. I love the full size scanner, even made a copy of our hands to last a lifetime. Fast printing with excellent color. Wireless printing from the kitchen to the office is great feature to have. Overall I'm very happy with printer and would recommend it to family and friends. I love the 3 months of free ink via HP website. My daughter is getting into scrapbooking and this will be a money saver!

Easy and good quality
I had been holding off getting a new printer until I could find one that was the right intersection of functionality / price / ease of set up and this delivered on all fronts. Comes packed really well and easy to get out of the box and set up on my desk. I use a MacBook Air and the connection was easy and my computer recognized it as soon as it was powered up and on my network. Printing is great - clean lines, good speed. I haven't had to replace any ink yet, but first cartridge in was easy peasy.

Just what i needed
I recieved my Printer and it is perfect. Just what i needed for my home office .
it prints fast The colors are vibrant and no smudging .
I have it hooked up the USB cord, but love the wifi option.
I did have an issue with Printing it kept wanting to save it instead of printing. I little research i found that it needs to be on Microsoft IPPClass driver to print, so once i changed this setting no further issues. Having the smart ink delivery will be a time saver and will save some money.

Great Product!!!
This product is an all around great help. Very easy to set up and install the needed software. Very thrilled 3 months of instant ink are included. This does a great job copying, printing, and scanning your documents. I replaced an older HP printer with this an I am very pleased with my choice. I love that you load the paper in a a back paper tray that is vertical instead of a horizontal tray. Great quality printing in black and color as well. The product was well packed for shipping and it was protected well for shipping. I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for an upgrade or a first time purchase of a printer.

Solid printer but software needs work
The HP DeskJet 4255e Wireless All-in-One Color Inkjet Printer is a great printer to have at home for regular usage. It doesn’t print out fast per se but it does print out detailed and precise. I enjoyed its ability to connect to wifi and print anywhere you are even if you’re miles away using the HP Smart app. The printer has two types of scanner by photocopy or scanning your document through. Quite convenient for home. I would say this isn’t a printer for businesses as it can only print 25 pages at a time and is a little slow at printing. Definitely a personal use printer such as for school or printing important documents time to time. The reason I deducted a whole star is that currently with the software there is an issue of print PDF files. I had to contact support to see what was going on and was made aware that it is an ongoing issue that hasn’t been resolved. Many users use PDF files so it’s an extra step to convert the document and print it out as so. Overall I like the printer and its quality. The added bonus is it does come with 3 months of free ink through HP Instant Ink and has affordable options past that. The Instant Ink keeps track of your ink levels for you so you never have to worry about running out of ink.

Simple Printer
I like the simplicity of this printer even though i think it is kind of slow! If possible i recommend a higher up level! I think a darker color for printer is better and on this model only the white one is available! Another thing that i don’t like is that the ink will not last as long as i expect! The HP application for me is kind of confuse, it took a bit of time to install and i don’t use it! I just press print right after whatever i have to print! The quality of the print is ok! As a simple printer we can only expect so much! If you need to print many pages and fast better look for another way to print, as this printer is not fast and quality specially color wise is not that good. But if you just need a simple printer for home use this will be ok!

Says All in One, but not really
Hp DeskJet printer, 4252e is an all in one or multifunctional printer that is made with at least 60% recycled plastic and promised an easy set up. Did it deliver? I would say yes.
Out of the box, the printer was breeze to set up. I love how it's only plug and play. Literally, that's all you have to do to set it up, minus the WiFi part and putting in the ink. Speaking of ink, putting in the ink was easy too. Unlike other printers where you have to open the hood so to say to reach the ink cartridges, with this one you don't have to do that. The ink cartridges are in the front! Where the paper tray is. After opening the paper tray there's another door or tray you have to open. I like how accessible the ink cartridges are. No more awkward twisting my body to reach it. Another thing that I liked about this printer was the weight. I can tell that it's made out of recycled plastic due to how light it is. Another thing that I liked about this printer was how fast it printed. I didnt even wait 2-3 minutes for it to print out. Now, there are a couple of things that I found that I did not like while testing this printer out. One, is that it says it's an all in one (website) and on the paper multifunctional. In order for it to be an all in one it should do everything, including fax, but this printer does not do that unfortunately. Another thing I disliked about this printer is the small led screen. I wish it was brighter and digital since the symbols and words that appear on the screen can be hard to read in certain lighting. I also dislike the color of the printer, white. You can see every smudge, every stain or blemish on white.

Who doesn’t love an all-in-one printer?
Making my life so much easier by being able to print, copy, and scan. I enjoy how quickly it prints, and I have made no mistakes so far with this printer. I currently have a small business, so this has been a lifesaver. I signed up for a subscription to get more ink and paper every month, and it will order automatically when more is needed, which is a lifesaver for me.

100% quality
I want to start by saying that it was fun to unbox, and I was also very happy when this printer arrived and saw how big it was, and how the white color matches all the accessories and furniture. Additionally, I want to say that it's a very practical printer, very different from other printers, since the way you insert the paper is very different. It also has internet connectivity and an app that can be used on your phone, and it comes with two ink cartridges and a very complete and simple manual that explains how to use the printer. I like it because all the copies I made look very sharp and perfect, and it also comes with three months of free ink, which is a big help. I'm grateful for this opportunity to experience the quality of this brand!

Needed an upgrade and got one!
After using an HP 2752e for 3 years, I finally upgraded to an HP DeskJet 4255e. The set up is so super easy because of the HP Smart app, and the ink replenishment service is amazing! After a small hiccup of the paper feeding sideways from the main back tray, I have this thing figured out! I love that it also has a top feed option for copies, yet still maximizes my desk space.

Not As Easy As They Say
I received my printer which was package extremely well and immediately unpacked everything to start installing the printer. The installation was easy and did not take me long since I already had HP Smart downloaded and also subscribe to Instant Ink. I was up and printing in no time. Then I started to have problems. I printed about 15 pages which involved using both the color and black in cartridges. Then my color cartridge ran out of ink. The printer would not let me print using only the black cartridge. A page printed out and said I would only be able to print reports. I waited 5 days to receive the new cartridge and then the HP Smart App kept saying the printer was offline. I did numerous troubleshooting tips, ran the Print & Scan Doc App, and everything else imaginable to try and get the HP Smart app to recognize the printer was actually online. I don't know what I finally did to make it show to be online but it finally showed to be online.
I have not had much of an opportunity to use the printer since I had the above mentioned problems but what printing I have completed has been of good clear quality. I have printed from my laptop, iPhone, and tablet with no difficulties now. It is a quiet printer and I look forward to using it for many years to come in hopes that I do not have any connection issues like I mentioned. Fingers crossed!

This Printer is easy to setup, no need to connect to computer using cables! You can use any device like cellphone,iPad or tablet to install the HP app, All you need is Bluetooth/wifi connection. Another nice feature this printer provides with the wifi connection. The setup is pretty easy and self explanatory. I like that I can print,scan and copy all in one function. This printer comes with two ink cartridges included and offers a 3 months of ink free by subscription at HP smart app.
A few features that this printer has , besides the original paper tray loader. It comes with a top documented feeder. This feature makes scanning documents more accessible and easy to load and scan. My kids also like the ease of use and the quality of the ink is good, vivid colors and no bleeding of ink. This printer is great for home use and small business.
