Office must-have!
I was extremely excited to try the HP deskjet 4255e printer and I was not disappointed. The App makes set up a breeze, I easy made new a profile and it started walking me through set-up process , which took less than 5 mins total. The ink replacement is exciting so I don't have to remember and can use that extra time for work productivity.

Nice Cord free Printer
I really like the wireless connectivity feature of this printer and how I can print from any device wirelessly without have to physically connect to the printer itself. Setup was okay, it was definitely easier to setup with my laptop (Mac) than it was with my iPhone. I really love the print quality and speed of the printing. It is very nice and fast! The printing is great!! I am not the biggest fan of the printer top as when you go to load a paper to scan the lid/top doesn't really sit/stay open by itself. You almost need to hold it up or it will just shut close again. Wished the top/lid would've been able to stay open by itself so that I can lay the paper to scan without also having to support the lid.

Great printer!
I have really enjoyed this printer so far! Set up was easy using the HP app on my phone. My favorite feature is the ability to wirelessly print from my phone. It makes it smooth and easy to print forms/homework etc. for my busy family while I’m on the go. The only reason I have not given 5 stars is that my paper seems to jam fairly often. It is easy to fix, but can be annoying if I’m in a hurry.

Pros:
Print Quality: The print quality is excellent. Both text and images come out sharp and clear, which is perfect for my documents and occasional photo printing.
Speed: The printer is quite fast, even when printing high-resolution images. This has significantly improved my productivity.

Amazing machine
I love this machine. The simplicity of the setup, the walk through on the features and the ease of connecting the printer to not only my home network but also my cell phone was the easiest I've ever used. I love the hp paper and ink subscription. I think that will save me time and money! How many times have you run low on ink without expecting it to drive to the store and find out they don't have your ink? It's happened to me many times. The paper they have is also top notch. The printer fits well on my desk and the controls are very user friendly. The app is incredibly easy to use. Definitely recommend 10/10!

Time to throw my old printer
The HP Deskjet 4255e is not just a multifunction printer, it's a game-changer. With its automatic document feeder, Wi-Fi and USB capabilities, and impressive printing speed of up to 8 pages a minute in black and white or 5 pages a minute in color, It's designed to meet your home and office needs. The printer, which arrives in a secure and well-packaged box, is a testament to HP's commitment to quality. And with features like HP Instant Ink, it's a printer that will serve you for years to come.

Overall good printer
I would say this printer is a little more difficult to figure out than others I’ve used. So far I’ve used it to print standard documents and invitations. I’ve used it to print wedding and party invitations and it did a good job. It’s easy to switch paper size back and forth with different paper sizes. It can print on different cardstock thickness. The print is not as sharp as a professional printer but good for what I needed it for. The buttons on the dashboard are not very easy to figure out. I use the app for all my functions as it is easier. Sometimes it stops a photo print halfway, haven’t been able to figure out why. Overall it’s a good printer that I’ll continue to use.

Perfect Print = every time
I purchased the HP DeskJet 4252e to be able to print my schoolwork and my kids activity sheets. It gets the job done! I love that I’m able to print from my phone and I am utilizing the feature that sends me free ink for three months! I am very thankful for this Printer Because my old one was not nearly as reliable. Perfect print… every time!

Mediocrity At It's Finest
Set up and wireless connection were simple and smooth. This printer fulfills most everything thing that the manufacturer claims. However, the manufacturer steers clear of the "ink consumption" topic and here is why: it sucks. I mean, literally it sucks the ink cartridges dry as if it were drinking through a straw. I printed 10 full pages photos on the NEW cartridges that came with the printer, the printer then enabled a "print block" due to low ink. My old HP 3050 was even more ink efficient than this. I did not recommend unless you plan to only print a couple of documents and or photos each month. I am not overly impressed with the picture quality, either.

Fairly good for normal usage
This HP 4255e printer is overall a good printer for average use for per se a student or general office printing. I enjoy have compact it is and easy to install everything from the ink to the software on my computer. It is not the fastest printer but it prints in a decent amount of time. You can only print 25 pages at a time at most but generally for students and/or regular use I don’t think I’d exceed that. I love that it has the option to scan by a light scanner and by scanning through a feeder. The biggest benefit is being able to print directly from your phone anywhere you are. No need to set a reminder or forget to print something simply because you’re not home. This printer does come with three months of free ink and the same program also monitors your ink levels for you so you never have to worry about running out of ink. To note, I would not recommend this for businesses or anyone who prints a lot. This particular model is definitely for those use a printer on occasion not for 100’s of prints a day.
The only con I have is that there is currently a software issue on printing PDF files. This is a disadvantage because most documents are PDF. Even documents directly soured from HP site are PDF and can’t be printed with my printer. It is a known issue and has yet to be given an ETA on when it’ll be resolved. It’s an extra step to correctly convert the document and make sure it prints correctly.

Great printer for college students!
As a college student, this HP printer has been a lifesaver! Setting it up with the HP Smart app was super easy to print from my phone. Its compact and stylish design fits perfectly in my dorm room. I love the sharp and vibrant print quality, and it runs quietly, so it doesn’t disturb my studying. I also appreciate the scanning capability feature! I can easily digitize notes and documents, which is super helpful for keeping my work organized. The small paper tray is manageable for my needs. Overall, it’s perfect for my student life!

Perfect for a home office.
This is the printer I did not know I needed. I have a home office so I had a small printer and upgraded to this one. It works more similar to the large printer in office. I can now add the pages I want to scan for faxing or printing purposes and it is so easy. Previously I had to scan each page but with this one I can scan the 4 to 5 pages I need. The ink is not too expensive and it doesn't run out fast. I have printed out colorful picture and they come out vibrant which will be perfect for the kids projects when school begins. The set up was extremely easy and offers hp+ an option for people who use the printer often and want to take the guessing out of ordering ink. I am happy with the ease of everything from start up to actual production.

Easy to use
I really like how easy it is to print photos with this printer. Just 2 clicks and it's working. The quality is better than when we ordered prints, and we can print photos when ever we want. A friend of ours needed photos printed for her sons graduation. She was impressed at how quick we could get them done for her. She also said the quality of the prints was every bit as good as the prints she ordered.
My wife uses the printer for printing documents, recipes and recites. She also likes how easy and quick it is.

Easy set up and reliable printing
This printer was an upgrade from my previous one (also HP). Setting it up was easy and seamlessly. I was able to connect it to my WiFi on the first try. I was able to print from my phone and laptop without any trouble. I love that it has a separate paper feeder for the scanner for multiple pages. The color are vibrant and printing speed is fairly fast. It is not heavy or bulky and doesn't make any noise while printing. I think it is a good option to manage at home printing. I am happy with the product, and having the instant ink subscription make printing so much easier.

Pretty Good Printer/Copier
I bought the HP DeskJet 4252e, and I couldn't get it to work right away because of my wifi. I was confused for a bit, so I went to the trouble shooting guide sent with the printer, and once I took the time to go through the reset process, it finally connected.
I then went the the process of putting in the ink cartridges, which seem pretty small so I'm not sure how much ink is in these or how long one will last as well as the costs to refill. I then ran the test of both the printer and copier and they worked just fine.
It will be interesting to see how many pieces of paper I can print stuff, till I have to replace the ink cartridges.
