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!

Great printer
HP deskjet 4255e is a great printer for printing, scanning and scanning capabilities. I used the print app to do the set up, it was super easy to follow. You can connect the printer to the wifi network and just with your phone you can give print commands. Quality of prints is great. It has black and white and color options. It comes with Hp ink subscription for the first three months which can be extended. You can map the printer on multiple devices. Comes with a nice one year warranty. It can accommodate 60 pages in the inout tray. The printer gets automatic updates. Overall, a high quality printer for your daily printing, copying and scanning needs.

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.

Beautiful, crisp, pages!
So far all the printing I have done has been wonderful. The printer was extremely easy to set up (for my husband :D ). I was able to print from my computer, my phone, and my husband's tablet. The ink was nice and crisp, deep black, and came out extremely fast. i am VERY happy with my purchase.

Easy, reliable printer
This printer has been a breeze to use. The set up was easy using the instructions. I have been printing just about every other day for about a month now and still haven’t run out of in. I don’t print colors much, but the black and white print quality is solid. Overall 10/10, very reliable and affordable for college students.

User Friendly
HP DeskJet 4255e printer surpassed my expectations. Upon opening and installing, it was lightweight and user friendly with easy to follow guides from computer/cellphone apps. The printing quality on a scale of 1-10 would rate 9/10 as it was almost perfect every time. Easy, speedy, crisp and sharp are just a few descriptive words that describe my experience relating to the quality of the HP DeskJet 4255e printer.

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!

User friendly and efficient
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.

Fast and Efficient! Setup Issues
I was really excited to try out this new HP DeskJet 4255e to replace my old HP Envy printer. Upon my first impression, it was well packaged and looking great. It was larger than I expected, but very lightweight and easy to move around.
Once I plugged in the printer, I noticed that a blinking white light alerted me that more steps were needed to connect and setup the printer, but not much easy indicated what to do. I looked over the quick start reference guide that came with the printer and noticed I would need to download the "HP Smart" software to set things up. This was NOT easy and the software crashed several times after I downloaded it and tried to set up the printer. I had to power cycle both the printer and laptop a few times, then use the HP Print and Scan Doctor software from the HP website to diagnose the issue. Next, I downloaded a basic driver software package from the HP website before the doctor software would recognize and connect to the printer. After all of this work, I was able to set up the printer swiftly.
I test printed after everything was set up and the ink cartridges installed. The printer was very fast and the printing results were very satisfactory for a home printer. I would give the printer 5 stars, but the convoluted and difficult set up process forces me to lower the ranking to 4.

Love all the features!
My new printer arrived well packaged, and it contained all the paperwork I needed to set it up. I was surprised at how easily the ink cartridges popped into their holder! Everything worked flawlessly as I set up the printer to work with my computer. When I tested it, the copies were very clear and the quality of ink was great. The best part of this HP Deskjet is all the features. It has a scanner, a large capacity document feeder, and can print both sides of a document. I'm very pleased with the performance of this all-in-one printer!

Great new printer
I got my HP DeskJet 4255e printer and got it set up. I know it's set up was easy, but I had my 19 year old grandson come over to help me. He's much better at doing stuff like this than I am.
Anyway I love this printer. I've been having so much fun learning about it. So far, it is amazing. One of my favorite features is the instant ink. It knows when I need ink and will send it before I need it. I've printed pictures and they come out so nice. As good as getting them printed in the store.
I've printed photos, recipes, cute cartoons, and instructions. Take time to learn the printer and try different features. It does everything I need it to and then some. I'm still learning.

HP 4255e Printer
Printer is easy to set up, basically a plug and use product. Prints crisp pages quickly. best feature is the easy ink. No more running out and having to hunt for ink or paper. The easy program is worth the extra few dollars to join for piece of mind of always having ink available. Very good printer for a student or someone who prints a lot.
