I purchased the HP Officejet
Pro 7740 and received it 2 days ago. I love it since it is a great improvement from the officejet 4650 I was using. It is humongous compared to my old one but still not that heavy. The setup was so easy that I completed in less than a minute including the wireless connection. So far I find it very fast, reliable and I expect the ink cartridges to last more since they are all XL type. The quality of the printouts are even much better than a laser printer. I read so many reviews before buying it and found the negative ones not true. This is a very powerful printer that cover printouts from an envelope size to 11x17 paper. Really I recommend it to quality seekers.
Feb 10, 2019 08:40Bought this in late July for home based business. Does everything I have needed up to this point. Relatively easy to set up, works well with my WiFi so I can actually print something from my cell phone which is very convenient. Scanning functions are many so I'm still learning to use them, ADF works perfectly, no jams or misfeeds. Yes, its a copier, too. All three sizes operate as designed. No jams or misfeeds there either. Print product is readable and sharp. Haven't really tried to print photos so the jury is still out on that aspect, but don't expect any less than the best from this unit. Many possible uses that still require time to give a true evaluation of the product but so far its a win-win, so, I give it 4 out of 5 stars. Worth the price.
Aug 22, 2021 09:12This replaces an 11 year old HP all-in-one and for the most part it is a much better printer. Upgraded from 8x10 to 11x17 size max scan size. Because of the larger scan size and 2 trays this is a beast bigger and heavier than older machine.
PROS
1. 2 paper trays & auto select picks letter or legal correctly when size is specified
2. Scans duplex without re-feeding paper through the machine- 1 pass gets both sides.
3. Duplex scans legal size documents (old printer couldn't)
4. Scan and print quality very good
5. Prints faster than old machine w/text only very fast.
6. Setup was fast and easy all computers in household recognized and set up drivers very fast.
7. Paper trays will accommodate up to 11x17" paper
8. Software for scanning provides more flexibility in selecting scan options than old software and works really well.
9. Used several types and sizes of paper and so far no jams feeds everything well.
CONS
1. Size of the display it is tiny about half the size of the old printer. Makes it very hard to see what is on the screen and with big fingers like I have getting the right item pressed especially on the top of the display is almost impossible. Using a stylus for this thankfully don't use display often.
2. Document handler only holds 35 sheets old one held 50.
3. Tray where scanned documents goes after being scanned is WAY TO SHORT. HP reduced the height of this to save space since the unit is so big. so it is just under 1" and the papers don't stick out very far from the document feeder above. This makes it difficult to pull the papers out after they are scanned.
4. Software for scanning and printing are buried in a master program. Must start main program which takes a while to load, then select for scan wait for that to load then select scan from there so 3 mouse clicks to get to scan a document. Old software allowed that program to be started directly from desktop icon. Way faster. Haven't been able to find a way to do that with this software.
5. Smart chip in ink cartridges and HP constantly auto updating firmware to make use of 3rd party cartridges very difficult. Checking several ink suppliers looks like you can work around that a bit. I know ink is where the profit is but still ink is waaaay to expensive.
Apr 09, 2021 21:48I've owned this printer for a little over a year, and it's been smooth sailing all along. I regularly print single and double-sided b&w or color sheets in 8-1/2 x 11 and 8-1/2 x 14 for some volunteer work that I do. I believe we've printed over 1500 pages this last year. Ink cost seems average. Print Quality is exceptional for office printing (haven't done photos). I actually always print in draft mode and the quality is good enough to use as a final print (for color charts, maps, and other office docs). Know that the printer is large in size. I can't fault it for being so large when it has the ability to print 11x17, but just in case anyone thought they could just clear a corner on their small desk to put this printer - it is better off on it's own piece of furniture. We have it on a little 2'x2' platform and I believe it overhangs a little. One little annoyance is that I haven't figured out how to default the printer to auto-select by paper size, and I find it best to check the settings with every print I do (using Windows 10). I hope they fix this software/driver issue. I think the hardware is top quality.
Feb 06, 2018 15:04I recently purchased the HP Officejet Pro 7740 after my HP Officejet 7610 finally died. I needed a printer that could print 11x17 format and this one is terrific. The setup was so easy that I completed it in less than a minute using the wireless connection. I had reviewed the specs and was fully aware that the auto feeder does not scan 11x17 documents, but you can still scan them manually on the flat bed. One of the really nice features is that the printer has two drawers for holding different size paper, plus the ability to print on both sides. This printer is awesome and you can’t beat the price.
Oct 19, 2020 20:08The printer works great! Having a large paper supply in the printer is definately a lot better than constantly having to add paper every few minutes. Set up is a bit more involved than printers I have had in the past. I ended up having to call HP's help line to make sure everything was loaded properly and that did take some time. However, now that I am up and running, this printer is a major improvement!
Jun 25, 2021 15:32I'v only had the printer a few weeks but no major complaints. I loaded the basic drivers instead of the "full" drivers because I've had too much trouble with HP's software in the past - case in point, I still haven't been able to completely remove my old printer drivers. The printer itself seems pretty solid. I only gave it four stars because the touch screen is more difficult to use than the console buttons my old 7500 printer had and I haven't yet been able to access a memory device mounted on the printer over the network (I could on my old 7500 using the basic drivers)
Dec 24, 2016 15:34This was one of the most impressive displays of GREAT customer service I’ve experienced in my over 60 years! I have had okay experiences with the BB near my house but use this store that is on the other side of town from me because of the customer service. In this case, I got the notice within 1/2 hour that my printer was ready to be picked up, I drove into the curbside pick up area and literally within a minute or maybe 2, a very nice young woman brought the printer to my car quickly and was pleasant and wished me a very good day and gave me some type of compliment. I am sure the store had to be extremely busy but the transaction happened as if there were no other customers but me! Really great experience.
Dec 07, 2020 14:49The HP OfficeJet Pro 9015e delivers faster color printing, auto 2-sided scanning, and enhanced security features. It includes the optional HP+ Smart Printing System that keeps itself up to date, secure, and ready to print from virtually anywhere at any time. Optional HP+ system requires an HP account, internet connection, and use of only Original HP Ink for the life of the printer.
This machine definitely has the performance part down pretty good. All the main features work great. I am including some pictures I printed from my phone, slightly edited with the HP Smart app. Some pictures that I scanned and printed with all the default settings, the originals on the left, and the reprints on the right. A comparison picture of a photo printed on photo paper vs plain paper. As well as a print out of some of the Alexa skills that can be used with the printer.
The convenience is missing during the initial setup, but restored afterwards.The printer is pretty easy to use, once everything is set up. Which makes it difficult to understand why setting this printer up is such a hassle.
The entire setup process is kinda tedious and forced. If this printer came with free ink for 5 years, then I could understand the extra hoops for setup and use. With that said, I am a little offended by the lack of freedom surrounding some aspects of this machine. Which is a complete shame, because the printer really is quite nice. It prints extremely fast text documents, and full color glossy photos. You can fax to and from the machine, with a landline, and send faxes directly from your smartphone. It is even pretty easy to add to Alexa or Google assistant. It took less time to set it up with Alexa than it did with HP+ . Linking your printer with Alexa adds the ability to print lists, and some documents on your phone or stored with Alexa. You can even activate some tasks like scan and copy with voice control. With the addition of some more skills, you can print coloring pages, comics, games, puzzles, and recipes, through Alexa's voice control features.
As soon as you turn on the printer, it asks you a few simple questions, then it prompts you to download the HP Smart app on either your pc or smartphone, to finish the setup. It appears that registering your account with the printer is the only way to move forward from here. If you already have an HP account or don't mind signing up for the HP+ service then it shouldn't be a big deal to finish the setup. Afterall you get an extra year's worth of the manufacturer warranty, and 6 months of free ink( to support 100 pages per month of printing). If you prefer not to register right now, you can bypass this screen by pressing the "?" on the bottom of the touchscreen, then pressing "cancel" on the next 2 screens, and then follow the next few prompts to get to the main menu. Here you can set up your wifi and change any setting you want. The register prompt will pop up again soon restricting some functions, so you will probably want to just register to make things easier for yourself.
One of the good things about the HP Smart app is that it is close to the same layout and function on the computer as it is on the smartphones. Everything is split up by tiles, and has access to account and individual printer settings. Here you can check your page usage for the month, change plans, and review subscription information. All the printer functions like scanning, printing, and faxing can be activated by the tiles. You can even create and activate shortcuts directly from the app tile. Creating shortcuts is actually very easy and can be done in seconds. I'm usually emailing whatever I have to scan, so I made 2 shortcuts for scanning items as searchable PDFs, and emailing pictures.
Another drawback to this printer is the price of ink - if you choose not to join HP+ , you could be spending around $100 for all 4 cartridges.Just as an FYI 3rd party ink will void the HP+ benefits, and most likely disable your machine( if the software can detect the non-HP ink cartridges).So if you enjoy or think you will like HP's instant ink program, then this is definitely the printer for you. The HP+ program claims to be able to save up to 50% off on ink.
I have been printing for a few days, and I am almost out of yellow ink, and the other color cartridges are half empty.To be fair, I have printed 12 ( 8.5x11 photos ) , 10 ( 4x6 photos), and about 50 text document pages, so I am already near my max pages printed for the month.
If you print more than 100 pages per month, you might want to buy the next plan up, otherwise you spend $1.00 for every 10 pages over the 100 for the month.
The Best feature of this printer is the speed. It can print just about any full size photo(8.5"x11") at high quality in 1minute and 30seconds, give or take a few more seconds based on the photo. For normal quality settings, it only takes 23 seconds to print an 8.5"x11" photo. It will also print 4"x6" photos in 30 seconds, at high quality.
Even scanning is fast for this machine, it can scan at 300dpi, a 8.5"x11" photo in 10 seconds.It even offers double sided printing and scanning. With scan resolutions of 75, 150, and 300dpi.
Part of the reason this printer is so quick is because of the 1.2Ghz Processor ,and the 512MBs of memory.
This machine can print black only, or color pages in draft quality at 32PPM. On normal to high quality, it will print black at 22PPM, and color at 18PPM. In contrast most other printers print black at 13 to 15PPM, and color at 11 to 13PPM.
The HP 9015e prints HD quality prints, with 1200x1200 rendered dpi -black and 4800x1200 optimized dpi -color(using HP Advanced Photo Paper).The printer can use any media sizes from 3" x 5" up to 13" x 18", at 16lbs to 110lbs. This leaves it open to a lot of different potential projects.
Print from anywhere works pretty good, as long as your printer is registered and linked to your account and app. There is a printer setting in the app for "print anywhere" that you will have to enable to use the service first, and it's that easy. Just use the HP Smart app like you would normally and select what and how to print it.
Scanning from the PC gets you three automated features, Auto-enhancements , Auto-heal, and Auto-orientation.Advanced Scan is coming to the mobile version soon, which will let you scan multiple objects in one picture shot. Each item will be saved as it's own page, and can be saved as searchable text files. The Advanced Scan also lets you scan books, and will automatically correct curved pages to separate and straighten them out. Auto Heal will remove distracting marks and any other imperfections in your photos.max scan size is 8.5" x 14" with ADF
and 8.5" x 11.7" flatbed
Faxing is pretty simple, just like with most machines, you enter the phone number and hit send. If you don't have a physical fax cover page, you can create one from the touch screen. You can fax from the flatbed scanner, your phone, or the ADF.The ADF will hold up to 35 pages for faxing or scanning, just keep in mind that if any of your papers are warped or crinkled in any way it might cause pages to stick together when running through the ADF. I always double check my page count, to the printed fax summary reports, to make sure everything went through ok. The 9015e has an impressive 100 speed dial slots, and can store up to 100 pages to fax, just keep in mind it takes about 4 seconds per page to fax something. The fax resolution can be adjusted up to 300 x 300.You can send unlimited faxes from your phone for the trial period, after the trial period the faxes will be limited for free subscriptions.
You are also eligible for free incoming faxes for 12 months. To save paper on incoming faxes you can enable the 2-sided fax printing.
Overall the print quality and speed of this printer is really exceptional for an office printer, and very good even compared to a photo printer. The HP Smart software is pretty easy to use, to resize, crop or edit files or pictures. ( just make sure you are using the right print settings before printing for either a document or photo ). The addition of faxing from your phone, creating searchable pdfs, and tailored shortcuts really add back to the convenience of this printer. I am still pretty impressed with how accurate the color matching is on prints compared to original scanned images.
Apr 19, 2021 03:46Printer’s are a necessary evil for home life and can be difficult to work with. This HP 9015 Printer really breaks that mold by being so easy to use that it doesn’t feel like a nuisance to use!
PROS:
- The Printer is very well designed! I like the white/gray design and although it has a lot of features, it still feels compact and just blends in with your home or office by not being an eyesore.
- Setting up was very easy! After turning on and putting the ink in, I used the HP Smart App from my iPad. This App made it very smooth and easy to use. Very happy with the setup!
- After setting up, this printer is easily accessible through WiFi from any Windows 10 computer as well as my phone/iPad with the HP Smart App. So printing/scanning was very easy after that!
- To be clear: you do not NEED the HP Smart App to print from a mobile device. I was able to print over WiFi with my iPad Pro without using the App. So you can print without the app but using other features via a mobile device you need the HP Smart App.
- Can confirm this printer prints double sided!! Nice feature!
- Overall it has a lot of nice features needed for a home/office printer. Print’s fast with no errors, scanner, and copier. It will be very useful.
CONS:
- I like how everything is wireless but if for some reason you wanted a hard connection (which you can do), you would have to buy the cord separately . The Printer only comes with Power Cord and Ink.
- I can’t think of many. For the price it takes care of everything I need.
BOTTOM LINE: For my uses, this printer hits everything on the head. It’s ease of use is truly great and makes printing/scanning a seamless process.
Feb 24, 2019 16:18HP+ gives you 6 months of free ink and 1 extra year of warranty, when you register for HP+.
This printer is good for the small business. The 9015e scans your documents faster and does duplex scanning and printing. The black and white documents print at about 22 pages per minute. The color is a bit slower at 18 pages per minute. The 9015e comes with a document feeder. The 9015e is either wireless or USB. The setup is easily completed using the HP Smart App. Open the app with the computer and printer on the same Wi-Fi and follow the on-screen directions. The intelligent self-healing dual band Wi-Fi automatically detects and fixes it's Wi-Fi problems without user input.
HP+ Smart print system keeps your printer ready to print, better security than previous models. With HP+ your get 6 months of ink free. You must register for this service and provide a credit card number for payment on a monthly basis and HP will ship ink depending on which plan you selected during set-up. HP also sends you a return mailer so you can return your used cartridges. Recycled and kept out of the landfills. HP+ does require the user to only utilize HP branded ink cartridges. You can cancel this plan and return to buying your cartridges. However, please note the HP+ ink cartridge’s hold more ink than extra capacity cartridges. There is also one caveat, once you cancel the automatic ink you can no longer use the HP+ cartridges.
There are on-line resources available to assist you with addition tasks and set up on other devices.
The quality of the copies and scans is excellent. Printouts in both color and black and white crisp and no bleeding of the ink. The Color touch screen tilts for ease of use. The controls are easily identified on the color screen.
The Pros of this machine are many. However, I did have a problem with set-up and had to call Support. The phone was answered quickly, and the problem resolved in a few minutes.
The 9015e is put together well and you can tell the quality of the workmanship.
I would recommend the HP Office Jet Pro 9015e with HP+ to family and friends.
Apr 10, 2021 17:06I am coming from a Brother printer that is pushing 10 years old at this point. It held up well over time but I was due for a more modern upgrade.
Initial setup of this HP Officejet Pro was quick and easy. The mobile application and Windows HP Smart software was easy to use, and I had my printer connected to my wireless network and Google Drive in minutes. Prints are crisp, clear, and fast. I also noticed that this unit works fairly quietly, which is nice. Scanning features are great, and easy to perform with the mobile app, save as a pdf, and email without having to use a computer. The computer software is also full-featured, but it is convenient to control everything from a phone in front of the printer as well. Options and settings can be changed on the fly without walking back and forth to your computer. The touchscreen interface on the printer is quick and easy, reminds me of an older Android phone, it works well. Overall I am happy with this printer and would recommend it to anyone running a small business, or just needs a step up in quality and features for overall home use.
Mar 07, 2019 17:06Opening the box, I find the printer, 4 ink cartridges (black, cyan, yellow, and magenta…as usual), a power cord and install instruction as well as an HP+ brochure. It all looks complete and ready to install except for taking the tape off. But wait, what’s this grey button and black piece with a spring on it. Oh man, I hope it’s not broken. I examine the printer and flip it upside down, then I see the hole in the outfeed tray. I pull it out and press the other button. The tray comes out and I can see its twin on the underside. I take a few minutes to orientate the two pieces and after a second try, I get it to click in. The button has a big and small tab and goes in one way, at least that’s how it looked to me. Anyway, now ready to install.
I plug the unit in and the printer powers up. It goes through a few steps and asks to connect with my network via Wi-Fi. That’s when I discover I’ve been running my main desktop just on a LAN cable. I run the Windows troubleshooter and it can’t help. It says to try a driver, so off to the HP site to find the Wi-Fi driver for my model. I download it and tada, Wi-Fi appears in my network. I connect and it sees the printer in the HP Smart app. I don’t need my phone to install the printer. I click on the discovered printer and it starts setup. As it does, I go to the HP+ webpage, and based on my needs, I don’t want the service. To be completely honest, I was on the fence as I read about the service and I think I would have signed up if doing so didn’t lock the printer into using only genuine ink. I like the savings it offered, and the 3x roll-over credit is allowed, but as these printers age, I like the option to buy 3rd party ink just as a cheap printing option. Many times, I print articles or store coupons and I hate to use good expensive ink for those types of jobs. If HP would have left that option available, I would have signed up. So, after saying no to HP+, the printer asks to print an alignment sheet. I click yes and it takes a bit and seems to stall, but it finally gets the job done and then asks to scan the sheet. The instruction in the 2.7” touchscreen display wasn’t the easiest to read. I wasn’t sure which direction to turn the page, although it was easy to see the top left corner was the alignment spot. I chose a direction and figured it would let me know if I needed to flip it and rescan. No problem though, it said finished and ready to print. I must say that this is probably the easiest printer I’ve installed in Windows and I have 3 HP printers running through the HP Smart app, as well as 3 other branded printers currently running.
What else can I say about a printer? Well, the construction is your basic printer build. Lots of plastic and in my case a small part lying in the box waiting for me to reinstall it. The touchscreen CGD is nice and responsive. The paper feed tray is okay, but the spring-loaded (catch??) is a bit of a pain. I need to remember to hold it down when I return it. Without a spring-like many of my other printers, I just push it back in. I do like that the unit leans toward connecting with Wi-Fi, but still offers a LAN port and USB port. The printer doesn’t come with either cable, so be ready with the correct cable if this is your preferred choice. It has a convenient USB port on the side, not sure why USB 2.0 still, but maybe that’s all one needs to print with. I just figured anything new would offer USB 3.0 first. This model does have automatic two-sided printing and a 35-page auto-feeder. Oh, and I forgot because I don’t use it, but it can fax and has the two phone ports in the back. I haven’t had it but a couple of days, but it says it has auto healing Wi-Fi, so it tries to reconnect if the connection is lost.
One last thing I forgot to add during setup. At the very end, it allowed me to email myself a link to use on my other computers, tablets, and phone. I sent it to my daily email account and then whatever device I’m using, I can just click and install that device and print wirelessly. Nice.
Oops, one more thing. Not sure why and if it matters, but in the install and HP Smart app, the printer is listed as HP OfficeJet Pro 9010 series. Since it's a 9015e, that 9010 messed me up for a second. Just FYI.
Apr 06, 2021 22:07I bought this all in one printer when it became difficult to buy ink for my last printer. Installation is easy, paper jams are easy to clear, prints clearly and quickly, scans better than my last printer.
Mar 18, 2020 13:36For people who work from home or have small businesses, having a reliable printer is still really important! And with the way that we are starting to work, we need one that thinks ahead and is very easy to use at a moments notice. The HP OfficeJet Pro 9015e Printer has truly met my needs and beyond!
PROS:
- I really like the look of this printer. The shape, the white/gray tones, and the overall design just give it a modern feel while not feeling too clunky or out of place.
- Setup was truly a breeze! The printer is largely ready to go besides plugging it in, connecting it to the internet, and putting in the ink cartridges. It just was really nice to have no assembly required and it being ready to go so quickly.
- The HP Smart app (which is on Windows, Android, iPhone/iPad) is really a fantastic tool for this printer. It helps you manage everything on there, shows ink levels, and is just a well developed app to use.
- I can’t stress how nice the wireless aspect is of this printer. Being able to easily access the printer from my phone, tablet, or laptop really makes getting this done so much easier then having to be physically connected to the printer or wirelessly adding the printer through an over complicated process.
- Once set up, the printer works great! For printing it is very fast and accurate, while also being able to print double sided.
- It can scan/copy things through the document feeder or through the actually scanner which is really nice versatility to have, especially if you need to scan a lot of documents at once.
- The Color touchscreen is also really nice to have! It adds a nice feature if needed, shows the printing status, but blends in nicely when you don’t need it.
- HP+ is included in with this and I am quite impressed with it! Basically its a service that will ship you more ink when you need it without having to think about it, plus they offer ways to recycle your old cartridges which I think is a great sustainable idea. It’s a really nice feature to have to help you be more productive with your printer.
CONS:
- I don’t have any issues with this printer that I can think of or that I have run into so far. For my needs it works great.
BOTTOM LINE:
- If you work from home or have a small business and need a printer that can do it all for you, look no further than this one! The printing, scanning, copying features all work really well plus its highly accessible with its wireless hookups and HP+ membership along with it. I have really enjoyed using this printer and I think you will too.
Apr 06, 2021 14:26Was very unsure of which printer to go with, but HP was recommended by a fellow teacher and it has been wonderful. It is a perfect size and handles everything I need to do. Will always purchase HP printers in the future.
Apr 24, 2020 16:08The HP OfficeJet Pro 8035e delivers increased productivity with fast speeds and custom mobile shortcuts. It includes the optional HP+ Smart Printing System that keeps itself up to date, secure, and ready to print from virtually anywhere at any time. Optional HP+ system requires an HP account, internet connection, and use of only Original HP Ink for the life of the printer.
This printer IS an all in one. I can print from anywhere, scan to my computer, and copy.
So what's different than any other all in one you ask. 1) touch screen navigation 2) true color representation 3) does it pretty fast.
I'm in school, online and have to print off a ton of reading material (yea I'm ole school - see it, touch it, feel it), it's great that I don't have to wait forever until its finished. Loading paper is very easy, the arm on the paper tray can be retracted when not needed.
I haven't tried pictures or card stock yet, but I'm fairly sure that this Pro will come through .
May 27, 2019 19:13Love this printer! I’m a Travel Agent and ship gifts to my client all the time. With this printer I’m able to make labels for my gifts bags, print shipping labels and travel documents all in one. Plus it connects to all my devices (iPhone and MacBook). My purchase came with 12 months free ink! I haven’t even ran out of ink yet and HP has sent me replacements.
Aug 20, 2021 19:32Great SOHO all in one printer. Its fast and does everything you want, prints, copies, scans, faxes documents in black or color.
It was extremely easy to setup, just turn on, open the inner door, and then install each one of the included inks (3 for color and one black), afterwards it will ask you to print an alignment page which you then have it scan so it can tune up the printer heads. Afterwards, you can finish the setup either on a PC by downloading the HP smart app from the windows app store or you can do it also on your phone downloading the same app from your phone’s app store. I chose to do it with my PC, it will detect the printer and then ask you to enter your Wi-Fi credentials, so the printer connects to your network. Then you can create a HP account (or if you already have one login) and then it will automatically give you an extra year of warranty and 12 months of free ink replacement!! (it does it in the form of 6 months free and then gives you $30 credit, which is worth another 6 months), you do have to enter a credit card info (does not charge you, however it’s needed for when the 12 month free period ends, then it will auto ship you ink, and you can choose your plan, and the great thing is it does it based on printed pages.
The printer is amazingly fast, and I love the dual sided print feature, that makes me save so much on paper! Blacks are inky black, and colors are vibrant and defined (paper quality also matters here, so get a quality ink printer paper).
I love that the scanner/copy feature has two ways to do it, either with the traditional scanner flat bed, or it also has an auto feeder tray, so you do not have to do one paper at the time, it automatically feeds the scanner/copier. It also has fax port; however, I have not tried it yet, I have not had the need to fax something, but I am sure it is like any other fax machine.
Just an FYI, on my initial setup, the printer downloaded a firmware update and upon restart the HP smart app on my PC would not recognize the printer anymore, and then the printer on screen display would keep saying I had to finish setup, which I had done already, it would not let me print anything due this. I battled it out a hole night, doing a factory reset, re setting up the printer and nothing. I gave up. However, then next morning I decided to try it out again (I had unplugged it for the night) and I plugged it back again and everything was back to normal. So, I think unplugging it and plugging it back again made ok after the update, so If you have this same issue, remember to restart it like that after you see a firmware update (make sure it finishes it completely, do not interrupt it!).
May 06, 2021 23:32Love the printer!!! It was very easy to set up, and connect to our laptops. I love the wireless connection and the features that this printer has. It’s perfect for what our needs are. The quality of print is excellent!

Oct 10, 2021 17:44HP Office-jet Pro 8035 All-in One Printer is a smart and easy printer to use. I have had many printers over the years and this printer is without a doubt the easiest one I’ve ever set up.
Out of the box all I had to was follow a link in the instructions on my IPhone or computer and download the HP printer app. Once downloaded the App walks you through the setup process. The printer can be setup through a standard printer cable directly to your computer, Network cable or wirelessly for multiple users to use.
This is a full service printer with printing, scanning, copying and is even Alexa enabled. It has a clear fairly large LED touch screen to work the scanner, copy functions, view ink levels and other setup tools. As a bonus it includes free 8 months of Insta Ink which is great.
The print quality is excellent and very quick and is the best HP home office printer I have ever had.
May 22, 2019 14:27i love this printer , i love the fact that it has fax .. and i like that you can print from your phone with the hp app
Jul 02, 2021 15:38Other equipment broke, so bought this one and very satisfied with it.
Mar 13, 2020 17:48The productive smart printer that doesn't just print, it produces. Includes 8 months of ink delivered with HP Instant Ink. Help save time with Smart Tasks. Get automatic two-sided printing, easy mobile printing, Borderless print, and self-healing Wi-Fi. HP voice-activated printing enables your HP printer to work with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.
This printer IS an all in one. I can print from anywhere, scan to my computer, and copy.
So what's different than any other all in one you ask. 1) touch screen navigation 2) true color representation 3) does it pretty fast.
I'm in school, online and have to print off a ton of reading material (yea I'm ole school - see it, touch it, feel it), it's great that I don't have to wait forever until its finished. Loading paper is very easy, the arm on the paper tray can be retracted when not needed.
I haven't tried pictures or card stock yet, but I'm fairly sure that this Pro will come through .
May 27, 2019 19:13Great SOHO all in one printer. Its fast and does everything you want, prints, copies, scans, faxes documents in black or color.
It was extremely easy to setup, just turn on, open the inner door, and then install each one of the included inks (3 for color and one black), afterwards it will ask you to print an alignment page which you then have it scan so it can tune up the printer heads. Afterwards, you can finish the setup either on a PC by downloading the HP smart app from the windows app store or you can do it also on your phone downloading the same app from your phone’s app store. I chose to do it with my PC, it will detect the printer and then ask you to enter your Wi-Fi credentials, so the printer connects to your network. Then you can create a HP account (or if you already have one login) and then it will automatically give you an extra year of warranty and 12 months of free ink replacement!! (it does it in the form of 6 months free and then gives you $30 credit, which is worth another 6 months), you do have to enter a credit card info (does not charge you, however it’s needed for when the 12 month free period ends, then it will auto ship you ink, and you can choose your plan, and the great thing is it does it based on printed pages.
The printer is amazingly fast, and I love the dual sided print feature, that makes me save so much on paper! Blacks are inky black, and colors are vibrant and defined (paper quality also matters here, so get a quality ink printer paper).
I love that the scanner/copy feature has two ways to do it, either with the traditional scanner flat bed, or it also has an auto feeder tray, so you do not have to do one paper at the time, it automatically feeds the scanner/copier. It also has fax port; however, I have not tried it yet, I have not had the need to fax something, but I am sure it is like any other fax machine.
Just an FYI, on my initial setup, the printer downloaded a firmware update and upon restart the HP smart app on my PC would not recognize the printer anymore, and then the printer on screen display would keep saying I had to finish setup, which I had done already, it would not let me print anything due this. I battled it out a hole night, doing a factory reset, re setting up the printer and nothing. I gave up. However, then next morning I decided to try it out again (I had unplugged it for the night) and I plugged it back again and everything was back to normal. So, I think unplugging it and plugging it back again made ok after the update, so If you have this same issue, remember to restart it like that after you see a firmware update (make sure it finishes it completely, do not interrupt it!).
May 06, 2021 23:32Love this printer! I’m a Travel Agent and ship gifts to my client all the time. With this printer I’m able to make labels for my gifts bags, print shipping labels and travel documents all in one. Plus it connects to all my devices (iPhone and MacBook). My purchase came with 12 months free ink! I haven’t even ran out of ink yet and HP has sent me replacements.

Mar 13, 2020 17:48Upgrade office supplies with this HP LaserJet Pro printer. Its compact size easily fits into offices where space is a premium, and the HP Smart app boosts productivity by letting you scan, print and order supplies through compatible smartphones. This HP LaserJet Pro printer creates up to 19 pages per minute so you can complete tasks quickly.Prints up to 19 ISO ppm* in black
Fast and compact wireless multi-function laser printer. It is easy to print from with Apple iOS, Apple OS X, and Windows 10. The scanner works with Windows 10 over wireless. Only thing to note is that the printed paper has a curl to it.
Jan 30, 2021 16:03It may be on the small side, but it does everything it’s supposed to, at an affordable price. Nice quality printing, easy to setup and use wirelessly. Prints from my phone just as easy from my laptop. Need to make a copy or scan something no problem, easy peasy! Oh, did I mention that it comes with a toner cartridge that’s a sample but you can print like 500 sheets or more! HP has got your back if you should have any questions or not sure how to use a certain function. HP is just a click away to set things straight.
Aug 06, 2021 16:34Works great! I've been using this for about 2 weeks now and I haven't encountered any problems. Setup was easy as well. I was able to install the printer using the app they tell you to use and was able to install the printer without the app, so everything has been printing wirelessly, especially since I'm still working from home. I read that when some customers print, the paper would slide back into the paper tray. There's a little paper tray for the paper when you print. The ink they provided also has ink.
May 03, 2021 15:15I’m hoping eventually I’ll be able to us my Android phone and the HP printer app to direct the printer to copy or scan. My son came over and finally connected it to my WiFi. I thought about returning it but the next available laser jet printer was beyond my price range. Currently it prints a copy of the bottom half of the page on the bottom and top of the printed page. The copy posted had a riddle on the top of the page for my Grandson to practice cursive writing. Not certain how this option would ever be useful, but so far that’s the only way the laser jet has worked. If I can’t correct the issues soon it will be returned. I’d really Ike to have a printer that’s easy to use. The pages that have copied arrived amazingly fast and clear. Seems to be a great printer if it would just copy, print and scan the items needed.
May 23, 2020 00:31Awesome! It is exactly what I was looking for. Easy to use it. Excellent and fast. Reasonable price
Aug 16, 2019 18:45It over heats and glass broke on scanner within a week of having it
Feb 01, 2020 04:18Excellent little printer/all ion one! Nice size, quick and pretty quite. Easy set up and install and use, home office or personal. FYI - NOT color = B/W only
Apr 16, 2021 15:52Have to be there to get the copies, otherwise the paper fall in to the paper to print and go to the printer again and again. Making a loop.
Jul 15, 2019 17:50The HP OfficeJet Pro 8025e delivers increased productivity with fast speeds and custom mobile shortcuts. It includes the optional HP+ Smart Printing System that keeps itself up to date, secure, and ready to print from virtually anywhere at any time. Optional HP+ system requires an HP account, internet connection, and use of only Original HP Ink for the life of the printer.
Noticed a few reviews about paper jam errors during setup, this happened to me too and was about to return product. I finally discovered that the black wheels inside arrived at an angle. It seemed correct since they were tight however after some persistence to fix this error, they tell you to pull up the blue piece to check wheels for paper, while that is open, I managed to press the whole wheel mechanism down more into place so that the black wheels were no longer at a slant (mostly the right side was up too high.) They should be level along with the blue handle, which also arrived at a slant. Hope this helps the next person who encounters this problem on a new, out of the box printer.
May 04, 2020 01:41The printer connected to my network immediately. All devices sent print jobs with no issues. I also used the HP app to finish set up. Printing speed is decent. The email function works good. HP has also stepped up internal security for this printer for better performance. The touch screen is very nice, has good response to touch. There are audibles with different uses. The printer acknowledges when a sheet of paper is inserted into the auto feed and the touch screen responds. Color tone Is good, but not fantastic. I consider this to be more of a great office use printer. There is no SD card slot. It does have USB, Ethernet and Fax Ports. The paper feed tray works better than previous HP printers that I have owned. I would have preferred a more rounded edge designed housing, instead to me, It looks like a big square block and very heavy. Over all I think this is a very good printer, has been very reliable so far. HP offers 300 pages per month printing for the first few months at no charge when you sign up for the instant ink program where you choose a set price per month to receive ink as needed that will kick in when the initial period ends. I would recommend this especially if you need a work horse.
May 26, 2019 21:47SETUP:
Setup was relatively simple. Once you install the ink cartridges it will notify you that you need to install the HP Smart App to finish up. You can use your cell phone, tablet, or PC to do this. I used my Smartphone and it connected to the printer via Bluetooth and then I was able to setup the wireless from there along with everything else. It walks you through all the steps to finish up including a few optional ones. By doing this you also get a year extended warranty (for two years total) and you have 7 days to sign up for 6 months free of HP+. Which is a neat program explained below. Overall, I had no issues with this part of the setup or getting things to work.
I then tried to setup the printer to my PC and ran into some issues. Again, the application is required to get the printer to work which is a bit frustrating. The application had a hard time finding my printer and it wasn’t until I rebooted my printer that my PC was able to find it.
BUILD QUALITY:
This printer is large, and you’d expect it to be heavy, but it isn’t. Which can be considered a pro or a con. The entire thing is made from plastic (for the most part). But I didn’t notice much creaking or issues and in general it feels solid and well built. The trays feel alright and I would prefer them to be a bit more solid and smooth. The touch screen works better than my previous printer and is a bit more intuitive, but I still think they could improve the OS to be better as it is still clunky and doesn’t feel like a modern device. But that is me being picky.
SPEED/PERFORMANCE:
They report that it can print 20 pages per minute of normal documents and 10 pages per minute for colored documents. Scanning appeared to be quick. I don’t have a phone line, so I didn’t test the fax. The legibility of the text that is printed is an 8/10. Since it comes with multiple ink cartridges (blue, yellow, _, and black) the colors also look good. But I found that images had a bit of blur to them. This improved with higher quality paper. But if you are wanting amazingly crisp print jobs I’d keep looking. Overall, the performance is right where I’d expect for this price point. I didn’t find it too be too loud. There is also a quiet mode which takes longer to print but reduces overall noise.
HP+:
You have 7 days to redeem 6 months free upon completion of setup. The maximum number of pages you can get per month during the free trial period is 700 pages. It allows you to choose a specific number of pages you plan to print each month and then charges you a set amount per month for it. Prices seem reasonable. If you don’t use all your pages, it can roll over into the next month. They only send out ink (with free shipping) when the printer itself registers it is low, so you are never out of ink. They also report that this is cheaper than buying retail ink and that it comes with more ink, so you refill less often. You can decide if that is just marketing or not. This entire service can be a pro or a con depending on how you feel about signing up for yet another monthly subscription to something. But I’d imagine if you are someone who prints a lot that this would be greatly appreciated, and you’d likely save money.
FEATURES:
As indicative of the name it is an All-In-One Printer. Which means that you can print documents (1 sided automatically but 2-sided if chosen), scan documents, and fax documents (if you have a phone line connected). You can also print either from your PC or from your phone/tablet. I printed multiple things from my phone and PC without any issues.
Apr 07, 2021 08:48HP has changed style from the standard black All-in-One (AIO) printers to a three-tone color scheme of white, dark grey and light grey. The new décor is very pleasing to the eye, fits nicely in our son’s room.
The size is perfect for a home office or home print station (SOHO) compared to a large office AIO. The HP Officejet Pro 8025 is a very capable AIO as well, printing, copying, scanning and photo printing performed brilliantly for a package this size. The 8025 will perform well in a small office that has less demanding printing jobs. Have connected the printer to all our home devices and will use as a backup to our larger HP AIO office printer if needed.
Photo Printing knocked my socks off, lovely rich colors and definition of a ceremony picture we had taking of our kid. Very nice.
Panel
- Flip up design for easy viewing, nice.
- Bit small but adequate 2.7” Touchscreen.
- Easy navigation – full explanation on downloadable user guide.
- Tap on the “?” on the home screen will bring up a help screen which includes “How to Videos”, to cool.
App
- HP Smart assists you in the setup, scanning, printing, sharing, and managing the HP printer. Share documents and images simply through email, text messages, cloud and social media services, i.e. Google Drive, Facebook, iCloud, and Dropbox.
- Android app is full featured for printer management.
- Printing from Android, Chrome devices and iOS.
- Google drive printing - kid loves this feature for printing school projects/papers from home or school.
- Supports Print from Anywhere.
Networking
- Almost to simple to add to network. Windows 10 PC’s can scan the network and install printer and launch app if you want.
- Connections: 1 Ethernet; 1 Wireless 802.11b/g/n; 1 RJ-11 Fax.
- Was the simplest, easiest and quickest network setup of any printer I have used.
-
Full feature faxing (with contacts) scanning and copying capabilities.
Paper capacity is impressive for small office printer:
- Paper handling input, standard 225-sheet input tray, 35-sheet ADF
- Paper handling output, standard 60-sheet output tray
- Legal paper
- Envelopes
- Photo papers
- Double sided duplexing
Monthly duty cycle 20,000 pages
4 print cartridges (1 each black, cyan, magenta, yellow)
The HP 8025 is rated with the best for cost of operation, that is Big Plus in a smaller footprint printer!
The HP Officejet Pro 8025 gives you the features and capabilities that are found in much larger AIO systems for less cost and fits nicely into any SOHO environment.
May 26, 2019 16:54I've been an HP printer fan for....well forever. My previous printer was the HP OfficeJet Pro 8610 - which has been a tried and true printer, scanner, copier and fax. However, with some updates to my desktop and laptop computers - I have had GREAT DIFFICULTY scanning to my PC from these older HP printers.
Enter the new HP OfficeJet Pro 8025. First thing I notice is the new printer is about 40% smaller. That helps on my desk space. Next, it is quieter than my previous model. Third, it's a new and modern (two tone) design. Fourth - it scanned to my PC on the first attempt, and worked flawlessly! That alone is the WINNING ticket!
So far - I'm very impressed and will be setting this as my default printer next week.
May 16, 2019 22:37Everything about this printer is an embarrassment for HP.
Physically, it is noticeably larger than HP printers with similar printing capabilities from years ago.
The paper tray is quite small (especially for business printing) and HP has redesigned how you load papers into the tray - it is wholly unintuitive.
Above the paper tray is an extending plastic platform designed to automatically reach out to catch your printed pages so that they don't shoot out onto your floor. Even when I printed the initial alignment page, this mechanism failed to engage.
There are no ports on this model for memory cards to print from. Admittedly, this is not being marketed as one of their photo printers but I don't understand how documents from memory cards are not part of office printing necessities.
During setup, this model immediately identified the included ink cartridges as official HP ink cartridges. A little bit of research alerted me that this printer will only accept genuine HP ink cartridges.
It will not allow you to print in black ink alone if your color cartridges are empty or are not installed.
Scanning, faxing, copying, and printing times are average. Nothing stellar. Document printing and color printing (including photo printing) are average. Nothing stellar.
What does work? Their instant ink program - an ink subscription service (their "Ink Of The Month" club). Everything about their service is well defined and clear.
But in an new printer era where they will need to compete with other printers with HUGE non-cartridge ink reservoirs, please take a look at the size of the cyan cartridge that fits this printer in the attached picture below.
For a machine that is clearly being marketed as a source of ink cartridge sales, you can find other models with more or better features for WAY less money.
There is no way that this can be an economical purchase for home or office.
Apr 17, 2021 16:01This is another great all in one from HP as far and performance. The only criticisms I have are that there was no clear direction to remove the tape over a very small symbol for wi-fi. Could not get the copier to work; the directions in the paperwork and online were useless and so I kept getting a general error message. Took me a long time to figure it out. Also, the model and serial number tag is SO SMALL, I couldn't read the information even with a magnifying glass. Took me several tries to get what I hope is the correction information. I have never had an HP product like that before, and I have had printers and computers!
Jun 03, 2021 13:35This printer after a year stopped printing in color and only now prints and copy in cyan and or red. Faulty multi printer/fax/scanner
Dec 12, 2020 14:18The HP OfficeJet Pro 9025e delivers the fastest speeds, 500-sheet paper capacity, and up to 2x faster scan speeds. It includes the optional HP+ Smart Printing System that keeps itself up to date, secure, and ready to print from virtually anywhere at any time. Optional HP+ system requires an HP account, internet connection, and use of only Original HP Ink for the life of the printer.
I work out of a home office and, while I don't run through stacks of paper a month, I have periods where I need to print quite a bit in one go. More so, I have a need to scan stacks of documents regularly, so I find great use with document feeders. For my office needs I currently employ a HP OfficeJet 8600 Plus. Until I tested the OfficeJet Pro 9025.
First thing, out of the box, this printer is bright, bearing a slight resemblance to the 7000 series OfficeJets with a two-tone color scheme of white and grey. The middle of the body is white, capped off with a grey lower paper tray and grey document feeder on top. It's a much sharper appearance than the grey/brown of the 6000 and 8000 series printers. Additionally, the design language is much sharper and more modern, foregoing the rounded, sometimes "bubbly" design language of the 8000 series in favor of boxier lines and 90 degree angles. It's very square and rectangular, and even features a flat top to the document feeder, which has historically carried a more rounded apperance.
The new design language is very appealing, and seems more focused on function than form. It has a very purposeful, functional, and professional appearance to it. It also lends a more slimmed down look to the printer, which makes sense given that the overall box is indeed slimmed down by several inches. My 8600 was purchased because it supported fax, printing, scanning and copying, 2-sided printing, and a document feeder on top, but the machine is bulky and heavy. The 9025 manages to squeeze all this in to a smaller package, indicating some nice internal design efficiencies. While you don't move a printer around all that often once it's setup, moving between the 8600 Plus to the 9025 reveals quite a difference in weight.
In size, the 9025 is the same height as the 8600 Plus, but squeezes a second paper tray into that space, and maintaining the same capabilities with the document feeder. Front to back and side to side, however, the 9025 bests the 8600 Plus by quite a bit. My 8600 Plus shared a desktop with my photo printer, and had only 19.5" wide and 20.25" deep to fit in. Because of the printer size, it had to face perpendicular to my other printer, with the output tray kept in most of the time to avoid bumping it. The 9025 fits facing parallel to my other printer with room to spare, and even with the output tray adding 6" to the depth, only sticks out .375" at the front.
To accomplish this, it appears HP made some internal changes to the printer, stacking things a bit taller and further back in the box. The output tray sits a bit higher and a bit recessed into the case, and fits 2 paper trays beneath it compactly. The doc feeder on top also seems slimmed down a bit, allowing it to fit in the more compact design. The only issue I really have is with the power cord placement. If it were offset a bit, or even if HP included a right-angle cord, this printer could sit even further back.
I do believe some sacrifices were made to accomplish the smaller and lighter design, and after playing with it for about 2 weeks now, I think it's apparent in the feel of some of the materials.
First, the plastic on the 9025 feels more flexible and thinner than the 8600. When I open and close the doc feeder cover I feel like I am about to break it. This contrasts the 8600 which uses a latch to open and close, and feels better. Additionally, the overall feel of the 9025 is more plasticky than the 8600, and leads to some question of durability under heavier use or in environments with multiple people using it daily.
Second, the print head has a spongy and less reassuring feeling when inserting printer cartridges. With the 8600 there is a tactile feel to the cartridges clicking into place, letting you know they seated properly. With the 9025 I found myself checking the cartridge a couple times to make sure it was in all the way. They also made squeaky sounds when I inserted and removed them, and though that might go away with time, it has not yet.
They also sacrificed on the screen size with this model, opting for a smaller screen that is just over 1.5" tall and 2" wide, where the 8600 was about double the width. With all the features and apps being added to these printers, the screen size is really important, and I think this one is just too small for it's purpose. They also have a swipe down from the top feature to access settings and information, similar to a smart phone, and this menu is more challenging to read on the smaller screen. I do like the new mechanics for adjusting the screen angle, which doesn't require a button pinch of press, like my 8600, but I also believe this might be the reason for a little bit of movement when interacting with the screen. At first I thought there was a slight click action or sound when pressing a button on the screen, but it appears to just be the screen moving a bit under pressure.
Moving beyond the look and feel of the new printer, from a performance perspective it does very well. Setting it up out of the box was really easy, thanks to the HP Smart software guiding through setup. Additionally, you can use the HP Smart app on your phone to setup the printer via bluetooth. I did run into issues connecting to the printer from just under 6 feet away, and found it woked best standing 2 feet or less in front of it.
Once ink is inserted, the printer primes the cartridges, and I noticed it to be a bit quieter than the 8600 Plus, but also a bit higher pitched. My 8600 had a more mechanical sound to it when priming new cartridges, but I don't think this indicates any issues or performance problems.
What was indicative of a change, though, was the sound and action when the printer wakes to print. The 8600 makes a loud, mechanical sound when it wakes to warm up, and takes a noticeably longer amount of time than the 9025. In contrast, the 9025 is quick and relatively quiet when waking to copy or print. Additionally, the 9025 is quieter during normal operation as well, whether printing, scanning, or copying, even on the document feeder.
I found the print quality of the 9025 to be really good as well, providing crisp and clean colors, as well as sharp text, which my photo printer does not do so well with. I would still use my photo printer for high quality photo prints, since the color depth and quality of photos is great than the OfficeJet printers produce. That said, I have always found the OfficeJet printers to handle text prints very well, and the 9025 continues that trend. Running through a copy test, however, revealed some areas for improvement with the 9025. Using the standard HP test print, I copied on both the 8600 and 9025, and the 8600 seemed to provide a cleaner copy, producing sharper edges and slightly better color. Both printers struggled with the grey text at the base of the sheet, though, with the 8600 barely able to present something identifiable as text, and the 9025 providing only marginally better results. With the higher contrasting text both did fine, so it seems to be a struggle point with the lower contrast of the grey. 2 sided printing was also easy and clean, though speed of that did not seem noticeably faster than the 8600. I tried to capture some of the differences in print quality in one of the images I added, but it might be difficult to completely see them.
One BIG thing I have been avoiding with the HP printers is the subscription ink plan. My fluctuation in usage means it won't really benefit me, and I am also not a fan of subscription services tied to my daily business needs. The ink being delivered as needed with Instant Ink is a cool idea, but I don't like the idea of HP tracking what I print, or making it more difficult for me to print if I decide to use a 3rd party cartridge. I have also read some issues with customer service around the subscription, with people having difficulty canceling, or getting potentially overcharged due to peak printing periods. I did decide to sign up for a trial of it through the website, and while I can see my usage and plan info, I haven't used it enough in the past 2 weeks to be able to review the service yet.
Overall, I like this printer very much and am going to give it a shot as a daily replacement for my 8600 PLus, which is a big step for me. The compact size is a HUGE benefit for my office space, especially with it still including 2-sided printing, a doc feed, and the 2 paper trays. I wish the screen were about double the size, and I wish the feel of the plastic on it didn't feel as flexible or flimsy as it does. Because of those issues I want to drop half a star off the rating, but I still think this is a fine machine for someone who has a home business or work-from-home office that needs these features. Because I can't drop a half star, and I don't think it warrants 4 stars, I am leaving it as 5. It's fast, quiet, compact, light, and very functional, and I think it's definitely worth strong consideration.
Mar 01, 2019 16:42Printer came in to which I measure a 19x15x19 inch box, well padded and everything so the printer inside stays safe during transport.
Of course the printer outside the box itself, the footprint is 17” x 13”, and about 12” high I believe.
This printer is best if it’s sat on its own small table or perhaps on a dresser, or average nightstand. I have mines on the far left of my corner desk where my desktop computer is on and it barely fits; the upper shelving of my desk will get in the way when it comes to opening the scanner lid. I can remove the shelving or, set this elsewhere where there is room (like it’s own small table). Just be sure to have enough space. This is not your usual short or compact desk jet printer.
Of course I followed the instructions in the correct order; installing the ink was tricky. When opening the compartment door, and installing the ink, I made sure I pressed everything all the way in, and by the diagram there illustrates a click icon.
There wasn’t much of a noticeable click, but a soft one. Closed the compartment door, then I get an error of a “print head” missing and to correct or reinstall the ink.
I uninstalled and reinstalled twice, and finally got it to work.
I did all the setting up of the printer through the HP smart app, and everything works well and printed out a test page, and other stuff (resumes and coupons). Fine print quality and impressive overall over the previous older deskjet printer I have (which is also HP).
And I’m all printing wirelessly over WiFi. It’s visible on my phone, tablet, and desktop and laptop computer.
The paper loading tray is easy to use to reload paper, and I’m sure the ink will last longer through more printing until comes the time to replace.
I believe this HP printer is a great investment and, from a standpoint this looks to be an office machine, either good for work in an office setting or casual work done from home (homework, photos, etc).
Feb 21, 2019 21:49With a few exceptions, the Pro9025e is an excellent choice for printing, scanning, and copying. Except for one important function, it is the best OfficeJet I have seen from HP in quite a while. The merits and demerits are:
*SETUP: Once you have loaded the app onto your computer, setup should only take a few minutes. My experience, however, was not a positive one, and I believe it was due to a glitch in the software. Every time the setup process got to the point of connecting to my mesh wi-fi, setup failed because there was no place to enter my network password. No matter what I tried, the same result was experienced. About to lose my religion, I shut it down and walked away. The next day I tried again and had two failures. On the third attempt, the password entry page opened and then quickly went away. Another attempt got to the entry page and, thankfully, stayed on screen so I could enter the password. The ink cartridges loaded easily, and all was a go.
*PRINTING: Document printing is a breeze! Set your parameters, press print, and your document is ready in seconds. Quality is clear and clean. In addition, if you need two-sided printing, the Pro9025e handles that job like a champ. Ink is quick-dried, as it should be. In fact, it can print 2 sides in the time some other printers take to print one.
Photo printing is a different story. I have yet to find an All-in-One HP that prints photos well, and this one is awful. Prints are not sharp, there are broken white lines across photo, and very wet ink. I intended to scan and attach examples, but, after 24 hours, they are still wet. So, the attachments are photos of the printed wet photos. If, however, you have no plan to print photos, don’t let this issue deter you from considering this excellent printer for documents only.
*SCANNING: One of my peeves with HP all-in-ones previously is no duplex scanning, but the 9020e not only can duplex, but it is also much quicker than others that I have experience with. The first scan was a WOW moment. Great improvement HP!
*COPYING: Copies fast and well. Easy duplexing is another plus.
Apart from the awful photo printing, the 9025e is an excellent machine. With that caveat, I would recommend it.
Apr 26, 2021 15:49This HP printer is better than those tri color cartridges. More ink and faster printing. Double sided scan and print and also has fax. Bulk ink tank printers are great if you print constantly but most home users will experience clogged print heads.
For me this is the best choice for home and small office use
Oct 22, 2021 16:18This purchase (OfficeJet Pro) fulfills my needs for quality printing and scanning. The blue-tooth technology not only provides ease of use but the convenience of printing from multiple devices.
Nov 05, 2021 15:42We already have a 90 series HP printer but we wanted one with more features as ours didn’t have automatic dual sided printing and scanning. Once we saw that HP had the 9025e with all the features we wanted we had to grab one.
Unboxing:
The printer comes really well boxed sitting in cradled in Styrofoam corners. Once the top ones were removed it was simple to grab the two handles of the protective bag the printer was in and lift it out of the box. About the simplest larger sized printer unboxing I’ve done. Inside the box is the printer, cartridges, power cable and documentation. The printer itself is pretty large “a good bit over our old one” and you’ll need a good spot to set it up.
Setting up:
Like our other HPs we’ve had before we just placed the printer where we wanted it, plugged in the power cord. I wanted this to be hardwired on our network and there’s a switch right next to it that’s connected to our router. There’s an orange plastic plug in the Ethernet port located on the back below the phone jacks. You have to remove that plug to connect your Ethernet connection. I use a Obi VOIP box for our phone and fax so I hooked the main line from the Obi to the Tel line in on the back also.
After hooking up power the printer was powered up and gave instructions about inserting the ink cartridges so we did that. Inserting the cartridges is very straight forward, each is color coded and you just push them in till they click into place. The printer, after going through the new cartridge setup asked to print an alignment page which I let it do and then placed that page in the scanner and let it scan the page and finish the alignment.
The printer has a small LCD full color touch screen just like our old model and can be tilted for a better viewing angle, it’s used to manually preform scans/faxing/copying and adjust all the settings. There are a lot of options in the menus on the screen and you’ll want to familiarize yourself with those functions and settings but for the most part you can set up everything from the apps.
All our computers are Windows based and phones are Android so well be referencing only those operating systems. I already had the HP Smart app installed on our computers so it was easy enough to go into that and have it set up a new printer. If you don’t currently have the HP Smart app installed then you will need to use the Windows Play store to download and install it. The Windows app is pretty straight forward and has a simple interface for what you want to do.
This printer also has Wi-Fi built in but since we’ve placed it near a router that option probably won’t be used, at least not yet.
Use:
I have to say this is one fast inkjet printer, printing documents is lightning fast and there’s barely any warm up time. Text is crisp and clear and colors turn out very vibrant even when using cheap 20lb paper “that’s the paper used in the attached picture”. I also wanted to try out the scanner to check out copy quality and was amazed how fast it copied a color magazine cover. I set the detail on high and from start to finish it scanned and printed a full color copy in 28seconds, “that’s fast for a color inkjet”. The copy of the magazine in some areas came out clearer and in the original cover, especially the motorcycle helmet and how the colors stand out.
We’ve printed multiple documents and some photos and the most noticeable difference from our older 1st gen 90 series model is this one is way faster. The 9025e also has two paper trays so you can either double up your paper stock or have two different types “copy paper/photo paper, or copy paper/envelopes”. The upper tray “#2” already has the guides set up for envelopes which makes it very convenient if you are printing letters and want to include the envelope printing at the same time.
I’ve also installed the HP Smart app on our phones, and after setting up the HP account so the printer can be accessed anywhere I tried printing a couple PDF documents, “worked perfectly” and a picture of a Hibiscus plant in our back yard, well the picture looks like it was professionally printed and you can’t make out any lines in the print from the inkjet process. I even used non HP brand generic glossy photo paper “loaded into the top tray” for this and the results were excellent, “you can see the attached photo of the magazine cover and flower” although you really have to see in person how well these came out.
We don’t send or receive many faxes but it’s a nice option to have when needed. I did a test fax to a friend of ours fax machine and it worked perfect even with using a VOIP box “which can be tricky at times” and he was able to send it back without a hitch.
Conclusion:
With HP+ and the automatic ink refills for 6 months I know we are going to be doing a lot more printing than normal. Their plans start reasonably cheap “around $5 a month” you get 100 pages a month “more than we usually print”, and there are plans that get down to $0.99 a month if you are a light printer. The maximum plan for $25 gets you 700 pages per month, which should be enough for a SOHO or everyday small office. And in the end, instead of a cartridge running out during an important print, the printer will have HP sent out cartridges as soon as they start to get low, “can’t beat that if you are like me and always forget to order cartridges”
With the speed this printer prints at and the convenience of being able to print/scan both sides automatically this printer has filled in all the gaps that were missing “and features we wanted” from our old printer. So if you are looking for a full featured printer that can print, scan, copy, and fax this is going to be the AIO printer for you.
Apr 23, 2021 23:58I have been using HP Inkjet printers for years and have been fairly satisfied with the performance and quality of their printers. I currently own a Officejet Pro 8710 printer and love it. Having never seen the HP OfficeJet Pro 9025 All-in One printer as it was sent to me as a pre-release item to be reviewed, I was expecting to see another version of my 8710, but this printer was altogether different looking. I has a much more business like appearance similar to the HP Officejet Pro 7740.
Setup was fairly straightforward. After removing the packing materials and powering on the printer, I opened the front and installed the ink cartridges. I downloaded the HP Smart app to my phone following the included instructions. Evidently this printer is so new that you have to download a new, yet to be released version of the smart app. From the software you select add a printer and the app walks you through the process. Within 10 minutes, the printer was up and running. The display asked me to do a scanner alignment which first prints an alignment document which you place on the scanning bed. The small screen prompts you to continue and quickly performs it’s alignment.
Now for the specs:
Much like any decent all-in-one, the HP Officejet Pro 9025 can print, copy, scan and FAX. It prints up to 24 ppm black, up to 20 PPM Color. This beats my Officejet Pro 8710 by 2 pages per minute. It can do 2 sided copy and scan and has optical character recognition capability. It also has two 250-sheet input trays which is excellent (my 8710 only has 1. The output tray can hold up to 100 sheets. Based on these specs, it seems more equipped for heavy duty office work rather than occasional home office use. My one gripe is the 2.75” screen (I had to measure it diagonally since the spec wasn’t listed in the printer setup materials or on the box). The screen seems small and it is a little hard to read at certain angles.
Performance wise it did very well. I know it is only 2 PPM faster than my current printer, but it seemed a lot faster. It also seemed a lot mor sturdy while printing without the swaying my 8710 seems to do when printing lines of text. As expected, the print quality is excellent, both in black and white and color. Litter to know bleeding occurred even when printing a photo on regular printer paper.
This printer is also “Instant Ink” ready. HP Instant ink is a plan you can sign up for that charges a fee based on the number of pages you print each month. The printer sends ink level information to HP, and when the printer runs low on ink, replacement ink cartridges are shipped to you. You do not need to purchase replacement ink cartridges from retail stores when you are enrolled in HP Instant Ink. I have never signed up for this service, but I can see it being good if you do a lot of printing.
I am very impressed with the quality and performance of the HP Officejet Pro 9025. Since it is not a released product as of this review I have no idea what it costs, so I can’t give an opinion on it’s value proposition is, but it is a solid performer.
Feb 28, 2019 21:16HP has always been a strong competitor in the AIO market and the OfficeJet Pro has always been near the top of the line.
Its a larger unit but still small enough to fit on a printer hutch, in a corner of a small home office, but large enough to handle a solid amount of auto-feed scanning, a full A4 on the scanning glass, and half a ream of paper in the printer tray.
A few years ago HP made their printers Smart enabled literally with their HP Smart app. This has been good and bad in my opinion. For mobile devices on the same wireless SSID it makes printing simple, but for wired devices or multiple mesh network SSIDs (ISP and home mesh) or connected to different routers, this can be a bit of a nightmare if you don't know how to port forward or bridge different IP ranges across multiple routers. Anyways, that's a different story to tackle.
Overall an AIO is an amazing device, it will make previously tedious paperwork, printing, scanning, documenting much less tedious. Its amazing for anyone running a Small Office or Home Office, anyone who does a lot of online sales and shipping, and it is an absolute lifesaver when it comes to major life transactions like buying a house. The combination of being able to scan, print and upload directly documents directly from your computer is an amazing time saver and probably a big reason places like Kinkos no longer exist.
In terms of set-up, I highly recommend using the wireless setup. I wasn't able to get the printer detected using the LAN. Make sure whatever device you use to set-up is on the same SSID and VLAN if you have multiple. Also, for any windows based devices like laptops and desktops, once you've setup with your phone and the mobile HP Smart App, you can very easily just add the printer via IP.
I previously had the HP OfficeJet Pro 9025 and the 9025e looks to be an incremental improvement with slightly faster printing and scanning. The touchscreen also seems to be more responsive, but otherwise the two units look identical. I will end up moving the 9025 upstairs and connecting it to a different wireless SSID so we have better coverage and flexibility in the house. Great to see the 962 is the same cartridge system being used.
Lastly, this printer includes 6 months of HP+ which is a subscription ink program that offers free ink in the first 6 months and 1 year additional warranty. You really want to see how much you actually print, but for our household we typically don't print that much, especially in color, so we probably won't keep the subscription. If you print a lot however, this could be a really handy feature.
Overall, you can't go wrong with these HP AIO and this is best-in-class and does not burn through ink as fast as previous lower-end units I owned did. Definitely recommend at this price point for the features, performance, and ease of use!
Apr 25, 2021 23:17The HP ENVY 6055e makes it easy to print, scan and copy creative projects, borderless photos and homework with automatic 2-sided printing. It includes the optional HP+ Smart Printing System that keeps itself up to date and ready to print from virtually anywhere at any time. Optional HP+ system requires an HP account, internet connection, and use of only Original HP Ink for the life of the printer.
PROs:
- Compact, low-profile all-in-one with minimalist design tucks away unassumingly in a corner of your desk/home office--ideal for students/family light-duty printing
- Simple, fast, almost idiot-proof setup--PC-based app (HP Smart) provided full-screen, animated graphical guides for loading paper, installing ink cartridges, aligning print heads--everything was up and running inside of 5 minutes
- Despite being a budget inkjet with no fancy full-color display, the printer still manages to offer informative and "family-friendly" status updates via various LED indicators across the front (purple--network setup, orange--maintenance/printer open, green--power up cycle, white--ready to print) and printer tones/jingles to indicate things like power-up/down, print job finished, successful setup, etc.
- Despite its low profile, HP managed to squeeze duplex printing capability into the ENVY 6055e so you don't EVER have to futz with figuring out which side and which end goes up to get perfectly-aligned, high-quality printing on both sides of the page
- Text quality is especially good; lettering is crisp and well-defined even on mid-tier quality settings
- Includes 6 months of free HP+ ink service--great for people who like to do all their printing in full-color at high quality; automatically orders/delivers replacement black and tri-color ink cartridges based on usage--after 6 months, costs vary between $0.99 per month (15 pages/mo. with 45 pages of rollover) up to $50 per month (1500 pages/mo. w/4500 pages of rollover)--$4.99 monthly for 100 pages is supposedly the sweet spot for most typical small family use providing hassle-free ink replacement that never requires a trip to the store
- HP Smart app allows printing from smartphone regardless of location; there's even an option to delay the output until the printer senses your phone is within Bluetooth range if you want to keep your printing jobs away from prying eyes
- Thoughtful usability design for ink cartridge maintenance; color-coded ink cartridge slot lids (light-purple and black) help ensure you don't accidentally load the black cartridge into the color cartridge slot
- Finally, a budget flatbed scanner that provides decent optical resolution without needing software interpolation: 1200x1200 dpi hardware optical resolution natively matches printing resolution as well (although color resolution can go all the way up to 4800x1200 depending on the source file's resolution and paper loaded in the tray)
- Copy quality from the scanner glass was surprisingly good--copied output of an inkjet photo page was virtually indistinguishable from the original
- HP Smart app provides a large, easy-to-read and easy-to-navigate tiles and menu pages for accessing and adjusting functions like scanning, photo printing, creating arts & crafts templates/pages, creating "Shortcuts" to automate repetitive tasks (like scanning receipts and uploading them to Dropbox), and settings adjustments for resolution, color, paper type, etc.--it's a nice, "family friendly" interface that is easy and relatively intuitive to use, much more so than Windows own settings pages
- Although there is a USB port on the back if you want to go with a wired solution, this printer can be set up and remain in operation without EVER connecting any wires to a PC...definitely a plus if you plan on placing this printer in a central location away from a host computer
- Swing-out paper collector at the end of the paper output tray was a neat design touch--allows the guide to tuck away when not in use to keep the printer's footprint down to a minimum
- The printer automatically detects when you raise the scanner cover to load an original onto the scanning glass--this illuminates the copy buttons on the touch-panel display as well as a HUGE digital copy counter; repeatedly pressing one of the copy buttons advances the counter to the number of copies you want to make
CONs:
- Like most inkjets, this printer struggled to produce large, smooth patches of black--ink banding was clearly evident even in smaller fields of solid black backgrounds (the printer did fare a bit better with multicolored backgrounds, however)
- Like most inkjets, plain paper output was only adequate with stippling pretty visible within the images--it's fine for draft copies, a quick photo on the fridge, or something that's otherwise likely to be disposable, but if you want to keep the output for the long haul and really see the colors pop, you'll need to invest in some higher quality photo paper
- Despite the claimed near laser-jet printing speeds of 10 ppm B&W and 7 ppm color, the average printing speed that most people will probably use (the printer's default or a middling "set-it-and-forget-it" print quality) was actually pretty sluggish--in our testing, mid-tier print quality for a single page of mixed text and multiple images took about 27 seconds
- Power management is a bit of a mixed bag. There is a setting that can be adjusted for reduced power consumption (sleep) after so many minutes, but if you use the printer in wireless mode, you cannot access the auto-power off function. This keeps the printer's main LED (above the paper output tray) illuminated at all times. During the day this isn't a big deal, but in a dimly lit room, the white status LED and the blue wireless icon on the touch panel display can get a little bright. If you keep this printer in the same room where you sleep, the LED might even be intrusive during the night
- The two copy buttons on the touch panel, one for color and one for black & white, are identical, save for the fact that the color button slowly changes color, while the black & white button remains lit in a single color. However, the color copy button changes colors relatively slowly, and the black & white color button looked more yellowish than white; there also are some times where the color button's LED is the same color as the black & white LED, even if just for a few moments. It's not a big deal, but it could create a little confusion over which control does what, especially for those who are less technically adept or simply don't take much time to commit the button layout to memory
- Servicing the printer/changing ink cartridges was a trickier proposition than it probably needed to be. There is a single slide hinge/support in the upper right that keeps the cover locked open while you service the components inside, but opening and closing it seemed to take quite a bit of force. There is no catch-lock or locking button to engage or disengage the hinge lock at the back; the printer simply snaps open or closed by manhandling the cover. The action is not very smooth and I was afraid at first I might actually be damaging the unit due to the force required to get it open. And because the printer is so light, it was pretty easy to slide the unit around while I was wrestling with the cover in the first place. Once you get used to the force required to open and close the lid, it's not so bad; but a smoother mechanism would be more reassuring.
Bottom line:
For a budget all-in-one, the Envy 6055e actually has a lot of nice features and user-friendly design touches that make it pretty well-suited for a typical student's or small family's light-duty printing needs. The connectivity options, physical design, and user interface feel well at home within a modern connected household, and it is doubtful many users will experience difficulties navigating and utilizing the many functions and capabilities the Envy provides. The inclusion of a 6-month trial of the HP+ automatic ink cartridge reordering program may be attractive to some people depending on how much ink they typically consume, but I imagine it will be of some value/comfort especially to those who routinely print LOTS of full-color pages while running their ink tanks down to a nub, but also detest having to go shopping for more ink (or remembering to do so in the first place). Text print quality is very nice while normal quality graphics and image reproduction are adequate, but nothing much to write home about until you step up into specialty papers and high-resolution DPI settings. So long as you're not expecting archival or showpiece-quality photo reproduction, the Envy 6055e is a solid multi-function inkjet printer for the price.
Apr 20, 2021 13:28I have had my Envy for under an hour and i'm already looking through my phone for which pictures I can print. Luckily before I got my printer I got some photo paper in case I loved this printer.
Right off the bat i'll tell you it is amazing to have a printer where I do not need to get on a computer to set it up. This set up was beautiful and simple as can be. It was pretty because the printer is basically walking you through the health of it's setup through these glowing pink, purple, blue, and finally white glowing lights. It is so futuristic looking that I was enamored with the lights and sat there just in silence.
It is probably the thinnest printer I have ever owned that will help all of the family and it comes with a scanner. The scanner lid is a bit flimsy and scares me since we have some high trafficked technology here that can be handled with tough love but we'll survive.
All you have to do is download the application, and at the click of a button the printer sets itself up, let me repeat... "the printer sets itself up"! So once you've plugged the printer in, it walks you through what it needs you to do and the printer does the rest for you.
We are living in amaizing times when I don't need to download a driver off the internet, open my desktop and set up the printer.
HP I am in total awe, and I have wondered where printers like this were for years so thanks for making this such an easy and sleek piece of technology to compliment my office.
I almost want to take everything back out of the printer and restart the setup so that I can watch the magical light show it does for you when you set it up.
Definitely going to be helpful for me and my family as we maneuver through work from home and distance learning this coming year! Oh and one final thought, take a look at the test page with all those vibrant colors. I have had printers that promote bright and vibrancy but never hold up. This was a part of the set up printer test and it is very clean, bright and crisp!
Jun 26, 2020 19:25One of the best inkjet printers that I've ever used. This is a great all in one machine to print, copy, scan, and print photos.
I really like the look of this printer on my desk as it looks like something that is modern and contemporary without looking like I work in an old office building. The white color of this printer would fit in any home office setting as it's a great unit for a household. As a home office printer I can print my work documents easily and quickly. The kids are able to print out worksheets and assignments from computers and tablets. As a family we are able to print out our photos conveniently at home and the quality is very nice.
Setup for this printer is easy to do as the HP Smart app walks you through the process with ease. One thing I like about this printer is that it can connect to the 5G wifi setting within my home, as previous printers never offered that capability. This printer can print effortlessly with wifi printing from my laptop, iPhone XR, iPad. This can be hardwired to your computer if you need, but honestly I find the wifi seems to be much more convenient for everyday situations as we have been running this printer regularly. This printer takes the HP 67 ink cartridges. I'm not a fan of the way that HP locks their proprietary ink cartridges and doesn't allow for less expensive generic cartridges to work on here.
The pages print quickly, and quietly. There is a nice soft glowing light that accentuates the printouts and serves as a monitor for what status the printer is in. It's definitely a modern day printer that would suit most homes for convenience. HP offers the instant ink subscription program which could be helpful for some, but I am not a fan of buying a device and then having to sign up for a subscription program in order to use the device. Seems like a nickel and dime move but it seems to be the way of the future unfortunately.
PRO:
Easy setup
Good looks
Good print quality
Print from anywhere
CON:
Ink subscription program
Jul 04, 2020 11:27I was curious to how the new Envy 6055e printer would work. The 6 months of Instant Ink was an immediate draw for me as I do have a lot of printing needs for my home office and for my kids homeschool work. That means we go through so much paper since I don’t want them looking at a screen for too long, so I would need to print their assignments and readings. The 6055e seemed like a great choice and again, the 6 months of Instant Ink was a big contributing factor for me to choose this item.
Once I removed the printer out of the box, I was struck at the overall size of it. It does seem like a scanner/printer from the late 90’s/early 2000’s. The area that this would cover is rather large compared to all the other 2-in-1 printers out there. Setting up was rather confusing as the 6055e is wireless and does not connect to your home WiFi. Instead, it has it’s own WiFi built in and you connect your device(s) through the HP Smart App. I am familiar with this app as I already have a small HP Photo printer. When powered up and following the initial steps, the printer prints out 3 pages for the Start Guide. I was a little dismayed that you would need to print 3 pages for something that I felt should have already been included in the box. Oh well, so I printed this up and it tells you how to set up with 3 methods: Mobile device, Computer, or Printer’s Control Panel with WPS. Setting this part up should not have been hard, but for some reason my iPhone was having issues with connection with the printer. I finally was able to get the app working and then a fourth page was printed up, and that had the Printer Information Repirt which included the Printer PIN # in order for me to complete the set up process. This was getting ridiculous, but after this, everything else was smooth sailing.
Using the app is a great addition as our home has become a tech hub.You can check on the status of your printer via the app, and check on various tabs to help enhance your printing experience. Instant Ink is available, as well as easy helps (Fax, Print Photos, Print Documents, Camera Scan and Printer Scan). If you run into issues with your printer, there is a Get Support feature as well. Collecting all of these features into a single app has been very helpful in de-cluttering your Home Screen.
When looking at the 6055e, you are met with this rather sleek looking device. Underneath the lid, right above the paper tray, the printer emits a glowing light similar to a Ceylon from Battlestar Galactica or the front light of KITT of Knight Rider, but changes color every second. This was a nice touch but rather annoying if you have this in your room and it’s time for bed. There is a small control panel to the lower right of the device that includes 6 icons: Information, Cancel, Resume, Copy, Power, and WiFi. Behind the printer is another power button and a WiFi select button.
Printing was a joy. You are able to print double-sided and almost to the edge of the page. I test printed a Peanuts cartoon and it left about 1cm edge on all sides. This would be rather useful if I wanted to print up pictures. The printing process was speedy and not too slow.
Despite my issues on initial set up, this printer is a joy to use. I just wished it was not so large. I am looking forward to utilizing Instant Ink in a few months.
Apr 21, 2021 00:55This is a feature rich, compact, fast printer. Print quality is awesome, sharp lines, vivid colors, especially on the special photo paper.
Printer supports a wide variety of connections - HP ePrint, AirPrint, Google Cloud Print, BLE, Internet Printing Protocol, TCP/9100. Whatever you printing source is - this device got you covered. If you are working from home and your VPN software causes you troubles - you can always use Printer's internal WiFi "Direct Print" to connect and print without disconnecting from your work VPN.
Setup is super easy, just power printer on and then use HP ePrint app on your phone, follow directions. Printer will print out a special calibration sheet that it will ask you to scan in order to adjust the printing heads perfectly. That's it! All home computers will recognize the printer automatically.
Note that there is no hardwired ethernet port so WiFi connection is mandatory.
This printer supports HP instant ink which is an interesting subscription based ink delivery model (this is totally optional, you don't have to sign up for it if you don't feel it would be beneficial). You just print what you need (and keep loading paper :) HP will automatically send you ink cartridges, you will always have a fresh set standing by. You pay for amount of pages you print monthly, starting from $2.99 per month (or about $36 annually) for 50 pages per month with up to a 100 pages rollover! No commitments - you can cancel any time. For me this is a perfect option as I don't have to remember to buy cartridges anymore.
There are, of course, more advanced settings available - just use your web browser and navigate to printer's IP address - you will be greeted with a nice web interface and a lot more advanced options such as SNMP, different Wireless settings, etc.
I would definitely recommend it for a small/home office if color print is desirable and you don't need anything bigger than letter.
Note on scanner - it's just a flatbed, there is no autofeed for the scanner.
Jul 06, 2020 16:16I'm using this while I work from home, and for the 10-15 pages I print a day, it's fine. It doesnt print super fast, and I've been going through ink cartridges quicker than expected, but I love the Bluetooth connectivity and it's low profile. Two things I wish I had paid more attention to before purchasing: The scanner is manual fed. Which means I have to physically put every individual page down to scan. Sometimes, I have a stack of 20 documents to scan and it takes forever to do it! An automatic feeder would have been great. But even worse than that is the blue light that NEVER TURNS OFF! I have this printer in my bedroom and it's really annoying. It's BRIGHT. All that being said, it fits my needs just fine and was right in my budget.
Jan 22, 2021 18:47This is a great compact printer! The footprint of this printer allows it to sit just about anywhere in my office without being noticed, and when you do notice it, it looks very minimalistic and aesthetically pleasing!
Setting up the printer was very simple. I followed the steps provided and used my Samsung Galaxy S10+ to download the HP Smart app to connect it to my Wifi network. Adding it through my Windows laptops & desktops was also a breeze as well. Able to print from my mobile devices, laptops, and desktops! The print quality is also top notch. I printed some 5x7 photos and was very happy to see the detailed quality.
Overall, i would definitely recommend this printer if anyone is in need of a small printer with great print quality!
Jul 03, 2020 23:57My HP ENVY 4520 I have had for a very long time and it finally went out on me. I sent my husband to Best Buy for a new one and I have had such good luck with the HP ENVY's so I told him to buy that. I am disabled and so I can't always walk so that is why I did no go with him. He talked to an Associate and asked for a HP ENVY and they gave him this one. I like it, it works great it's I am 63 and new technology needs to be simple. I know on the 4520 series they had a display so I could see what was happening or not happening. This one just has invisible buttons on the side. Again I just need to learn how to use it, it seems user friendly. I would of looked for one with a digital front. It is still a good printer and as I learn it it will become easier.
Jun 11, 2021 16:14The HP ENVY 6455e makes it easy to print, scan and copy creative projects, borderless photos and homework with automatic 2-sided printing and mobile fax. It includes the optional HP+ Smart Printing System that keeps itself up to date and ready to print from virtually anywhere at any time. Optional HP+ system requires an HP account, internet connection, and use of only Original HP Ink for the life of the printer.HP Instant Ink.Get ink delivered to your door for as low as $0.99 per month.

I haven't owned a printer for a few years since I've always been turned off by the high costs of ink cartridges and the clunky designs and performance of older printers. The HP ENVY 6455e shows just how far printer technology has come in just a few years. It has a sleek, minimalist design and does everything I need as a home user (with occasional work-from-home needs). I was skeptical of the HP+ and Instant Ink programs, but it seems like this setup will actually save me money in the long run.
=== SETUP ===
- The Envy 6455e has a pretty small footprint and fits nicely on a desk or shelf. The printer has a USB port if you prefer a wired connection to your computer, but a USB cable is not included with the printer. The preferred setup method is via wireless connection through the HP Smart app for iOS or Android.
- I set up the printer through the HP Smart app and it could not have been easier. The printer connected to my Wi-Fi network without issue and was up and running in less than 10 minutes.
- My Windows 10 computers recognized the printer instantly and automatically installed the HP Smart app. No configuration required.
- Some of the advanced settings for the printer (such as networking, Bluetooth, etc.) are burried deep within the HP Smart app, and you will need the PIN that is on a sticker on the inside of the printer to access some of these settings.
- Unfortunately, you can't adjust any settings using the buttons on the printer itself -- everything is done via the HP Smart app (including adjustments to the LED light on the front of the printer).
=== PRINTING ===
- Printing quality is very good for an inkjet printer. I'm sure there are better options out there if you need professional quality photo and graphic printing, but for standard home use, it's great. I noticed zero alignment problems and no distortion in printed text or images.
- The printer supports duplex (double-sided) printing, which I was surprised to see in such a small machine.
- The paper tray only holds about 100 pages, so you might find yourself adding paper frequently if you print more than a few pages a day.
- Only letter-sized (8.5x11) paper is supported, but you can print many sizes of envelopes (up to #10 size).
- Printing speed is pretty quick, but this is not designed for high-volume printing. Noise levels are about what you'd expect from an inkjet while printing -- not quiet, but not loud either.
- The ink cartridges seem very small (at least the included ones). My guess is that they will only last about 100-200 pages before needing to be changed. Hopefully the ones sent via the HP+ Instant Ink program will be larger.
=== SCANNING ==
- Like everything else, the scanner is perfectly adequate for home use. I've scanned several black-and-white documents while working from home as well as some old photos. Everything I've scanned looks great with no distortion. Colors in scanned photos/documents seem pretty accurate if not a bit washed out.
- I prefer to scan using the HP Smart app on Windows, which allows you to easily edit and crop scans before saving them to PDF or JPG.
- The scanner supports up to 1200 dpi, which is good for a small home printer.
- The auto feeder on top of the printer works great for scanning multi-page documents. It supports up to 35 pages and surprisingly scans pages pretty quickly.
=== HP+ / INSTANT INK ===
- I'll admit I was skeptical about this program, since it seems at first to just be another subscription to keep track of. But I was pleasantly surprised to see that the instant ink plans are actually very affordable with options for light and heavy users. For as little as 99 cents a month, you can make sure you never run out of ink or have to worry about buying expensive cartridges.
- The downside to signing up for HP+ is that you have to keep your printer connected to the Internet, and you can only use genuine HP ink cartridges going forward. That means if you cancel the instant ink subscription (which you can do at any time), you can't buy cheaper knock-off brands or refill old cartridges. Given the small cost of the instant ink subscription, I'd say it's worth the trade off.
- Signing up for HP+ also unlocks the full features of the HP Smart app, allowing you to initiate print jobs from anywhere and send "mobile faxes."
- I don't usually recommend signing up for something that requires an "always on" Internet connection or locks you into using one brand's accessories. But for something like a printer -- where I just want to set it up and forget about it -- I don't mind it.
== OVERALL ===
Is this the most fully-featured printer on the market? Not by a long stretch, but that's perfectly fine. This is more than enough for most small households. I wish the printer weren't so dependent on the HP Smart app -- they could have easily included a screen allowing you to adjust some basic settings directly on the printer. But this seems to be the direction the market is moving for home printers. Luckily, the app works great on mobile and Windows, and I have very few complaints about the performance of the printer itself. Home office or other users with large print jobs should look elsewhere, but for everyone else, this one deserves a look.
Apr 24, 2021 19:43The HP Envy Pro 6455 Wireless All In One (AIO) Inkjet Printer is great for home office productivity. You can even get Ink sent to your house automatically if you wish. Here are the features:
• Setup/App
Unfortunately this was the hard part for me. I downloaded the HP app and tried to setup the printer from HP easy setup. I couldn’t get the HP printer to setup wirelessly. I tried the networks and passwords and never came up with a match. I made sure that the HP printer was matched with the Smart phone HP app on the same network. I kept getting a message that I needed to update firmware and a missing driver. It was no small task to get these 2 things working with the HP printer. After a lot of trial and error, I was finally to setup the HP Envy Pro 6455 with a USB Type B to USB Type A cable (not included). I was happy just to be connected now. The other ways you can connect are through Dual Band WiFi, Bluetooth and USB (that is what I did).
• Printing
Printing was easy and less time consuming than the setup. The printed paper came out beautiful and sharp. The inkjet printers are known for their speed and clarity in printing. The HP Envy Pro 6455 was no different. I copied and pasted different bits of notes to a Word document. I had no issues or troubles at all. The HP printer even has an auto two sided printing feature to save on paper.
• Ink Cartridges
HP ink No. 67 black and No. 67 color are the ink cartridges that were supplied. I had to lift up the flatbed scanner and underneath for the ink to be installed. This was a very simple task of peeling off of tape and inserting the ink cartridge longer end first. There is a black top for black ink and purple top for color ink. Make sure your printer in on! ISO (International Standards Organization) rates the color per minute at 7 pages and in black at 10 pages. These speeds help you stay on task with your printing projects.
• Copy/Scan
After printing a test page, the HP printer told me to scan it. So I placed the print page (Printside down) on the scanner. It worked quickly and printed out the test page for aligning and ink saturation. Copying pages was a breeze as from printing several pages to scanning to copy a page. No problem or issues there. The flatbed scanner resolution is up to 1200 x 1200 dpi while the color resolution is up to 4800 x 4800 dpi. I scanned in a color picture and printed it off on glossy paper. It turned out really well. I have included the pics in my photos. Another feauture which is very helpful is borderless printing. There is no need to cut off the edges if there is not any!
• Auto Document Paper Feeder
At the bottom of the HP printer is located a paper tray. Slide out the tray to add 100 pages of paper to the printer. You can also add paper to the top of the HP printer. Place the paper in the upper tray and it will go through the paper feeder to be printed on.
• Control Panel
There are several ways to run the HP printer from the control panel. There are 7 icons that guide you to do what you want with the printer. The symbols are: Information, Cancel, Resume, Copy, Power, Wireless Setup and ADF Error. There are instructions on how to use the control panel in the manual on the HP website.
Overall this is a great HP printer for copying, scanning, printing, the HP app and high capacity paper tray. The pages print fast in color or B&W. I am overall happy with the HP ENVY Pro 6455 AIO printer, but disappointed I couldn’t get the app to run.
Jun 26, 2020 08:56Pros:
- Sleek clean design. I love how it matches our furniture.
- ADF for scanner
- Instant Ink program
- HP Smart app is easy to use and monitor
Cons:
- No screen but you can do everything else on the app
- initial set up required app download
This printer is replacing my aging HP PhotoSmart 7520. It was hands down the best printer ever made. HP Envy Pro 6455 is a good solid printer for everyday printing and a piece of technology that doesn't have to look like a sore thumb in the study room.
Jun 23, 2020 16:59You'd be hard pressed to buy a brand new home inkjet printer in this day and age that does not produce the quality output. The HP Envy 6455e is no exception: It produces high, inkjet quality prints. Consequently, your decision should probably be driven by *features* and *price*.
When selecting this printer, I was looking outside of my normal "home office" criteria as this printer ultimately is not for me. It will be handed down to my college student this fall as a basic, fallback printing/scanning option should he need it in his apartment. Thus, my criteria was "inexpensive, entry-level printer with decent ink prices with a very low (anticipated) duty cycle."
***Features: "Minimally robust."
If I am being 100% honest, HP's approach is not for me. I have worked in IT for over 25 years and have literally serviced, purchased and installed hundreds of printers. I have seen installation processes change, quality improve, features enhanced...but I feel like HP took a step backwards with their "minimalist" approach to printer interaction.
I do not like the lack of an LED display screen on this printer. Nor do I like that I cannot see what the 6 icons (oh wait, there is a 7th icon if you count the digital number display) are at all times. Nor can you touch them unless they want to be touched (i.e. if you put an object on the glass, the copy icon will light up). Call me old-fashioned, but I don't want to be forced to use my phone or laptop to configure my printer/scanner/copier actions when I am standing at the device. For example: If I want to scan a document to Google Drive from the printer, I want a touchscreen ON THE PRINTER that gives me that option--I don't want to have to pull out my phone and "beam" the instructions to the printer.
That being said, there are a LOT of features available through the app--an app can be installed on Windows, iOS and Android devices with relative ease via the 123.hp.com website or your app store. One potentially useful feature...that I have not yet mastered...is the "hold your print job" service (Private Pickup). I can see value in a feature where you can send a job to the printer but not have it print until you are standing at the device. At the same time, I question if you really need that functionality on a "home" printer. Private printing is more of a business service. [Full disclosure: I tried Private Printing a Google Photos image from my phone multiple times and failed each time. Probably my fault, but maybe not. I quit exploring the feature after 4 fails.]
***Price: "Average price for an entry-level printer."
The price of this AIO is reasonable.
Price per print is average if you are buying OEM ink at retail prices. At $30 for the black+color package with estimated 120pg yield black and 100pg yield color you should spend around 25¢/pg ($30/120pages) mixed content. To be fair, though, assessing a "per page" price to home printing is a crap shoot.
With the HP+ Instant Ink service, the price per page game changes and gets confusing. The HP+ Instant Ink service is NOT something I plan on keeping after the trial period because I just don't think the printer will get that much use in our household. Nonetheless, I signed up for the service without much of an idea of what I was doing.
I picked the 99¢ plan based on how little we print. I guess that means that if I print ~12 pages per month I will run out of ink in ~10 months. I will have spent $10 on my ink subscription. They will ship the ink to me and I saved essentially $20 over the $30 black+color bundle "off the shelf" price? Seems like a bargain, until maybe it is not on months where I go over? I don't understand the overage fees. I did see that I can "rollover" up to 45 pages of overage in my plan but again, seems confusing. I must be getting old.
***Overall Experience: "The HP Envy 6455e is an AIO printer that performs adequately but is a bit sluggish."
From the moment I broke the tape seal on the box to the moment I printed my first document from my laptop took about 20 minutes. Initially, I was confused by the lack of buttons and displays on the printer but once I realized everything about this printer starts with an app (accessible via 123.hp.com) I was able to connect the printer to wifi via the app seamlessly. Should you not have instructions handy, the printer will generate them for you once you have paper and ink loaded. Nonetheless, the app is an evil necessity of this printer...which again, is a foreign and frustrating concept to me. [Note: My instruction printout was poorly aligned. During the initial setup process the printer generates a "test pattern" that you place on the glass to clean up alignment issues via voodoo, lasers and magic. In my second image you can see that output following the alignment is fine.]
Regardless, 20 minutes after unboxing I could print from my phone or laptop.
As for the things I cannot stand aside from having to control everything via an app because HP didn't include an on-device display/control screen? The printer has "ground effect" lights that I have not figure out how to turn off. This printer is constantly glowing which I find annoying. It also "plays sounds" when jobs finish which is totally unnecessary.
***Pros:
- Small footprint
- Quiet
- Mobile printing
- ADF (auto document feeder--for scanning/copying)
- Duplex printing
- Dual band wifi
- Up to 1200dpi scanning (but only 300dpi copying)
- Scan to cloud/email (via app--again, no LED screen on printer to scan direct to cloud/email from the printer)
- "Self-healing wifi" (not sure what that means, but I assume it just means it stores settings to reconnect to wifi/devices if they go offline)
***Cons:
- Holds about 5 sheets of paper in the paper tray. (Not really, but the paper tray is only about .5" deep and HP claims up to 100 sheets of paper but I question that number)
- Maxes out at 9 copies per session
- Doesn't support "oversized" papers but accepts letter, A4, 4x6, 5x7, 8x10 and #10 envelopes
- Constantly illuminated (as shown in other review posts)
- Tri-color ink cartridge means you are undoubtedly throwing out excess of the other two colors when one color runs out
- No on-printer display screen
Notes:
- Manual duplex scanning
- Enlarge and reduce options
- Not the fastest inkjet printer I have used, but adequate for home/infrequent printing
- White devices usually turn yellow over time
If you don't mind using an app to do anything beyond simple printing, this inkjet is as good as any--especially if you prefer a subscription ink service over buying your own. Given the HP Instant Ink is essentially a "flat rate" plan (they don't appear to separate color ink from black ink in their subscription plan) I can see benefits especially if you do a lot of color printing.
If the idea of an ink subscription service annoys you...or the idea of having to use an app to control the features of your printer annoys you...then consider looking elsewhere.
Apr 22, 2021 11:23In my daily work, I work with several brands of printers. I have HP Envy 4520 for long time now with no issues at all. Its doing the job amazingly and every day. HP also doing great job on their instant ink program. Having it on all my HP printers and no complains at all. Very thoughtful and wisely priced.
Back to this Envy Pro 6455: It is a newer model with the same high quality product and accurate printing. Setting it up was very easy using the phone app (I did it using iOS and repeated it with Android). iOS seems to get it easier but both did the job. After installing the printer and connecting it to the WiFi, it is ready to work...
It is fairly quite and smooth printing and scanning. HP honestly did great on that. The Envy Pro 6455 has minimalist interface which honestly not really appreciated (by me at least) I like when they have the comprehensive LCD for more access and stand alone functionalities. This printer would require the use of a smart phone device to do the job properly.
Scanner glass is well placed. Scanning paper feeder is working nice. in the 2 days usage, I never had a jam. It seems to do the job properly. I had the printer installed in a farther corner of the office (reasonably away from wifi router) and it was able to connect without issues.
Phone app interface is really easy to use and working fairly fine. I have all the HP printers linked and I can monitor them all. It even alerts about low paper before you run out.
Back to Instant Ink, HP is offering the starting program for about $3 a month for 50 pages with unused rollover up to 100 pages. After that you pay about $1 per 10 pages when you go over. All that while offering high (HP original) Ink and after sale support in case the cartridge have issues (it happened once in the 3 years).
HP offers free 24 months of mobile fax with this Envy Pro 6455. It might be something some people like to have. I tried to mess around it and it looks like you can only send faxes but can't receive. It would definitely be more useful if it works both ways. Any way, it is a service that you might need one day. Some institutes still use fax only to send documents...
I would recommend this for daily usage. Good for printing small to average quantity of pages daily. Good and fast WiFi link connection. Fast scanning to computer and relatively quite printing.
Fashionable lights and minimalist control (LCD would be better).
Jun 28, 2020 17:18Great All In One Printer for my everyday use, since the pandemic I started school online and was looking for a great printer to meet all of my needs. I must say my HP Envy Pro 6455 is the best purchase I’ve mad so far. I also love the fact that it's wireless and have an HP ink program that let's me know when I need to order more ink and I get it delivered right to my front door.
Oct 16, 2021 11:15The hardest part about the unboxing and setup of the the HP Envy 6455e All-in-One printer is getting the ink cartridges added. I’m use to the HP OfficeJet Pro lineup which use a long thin ink cartridge, usually one cartridge per color, instead of the Envy’s two short fat cartridges. On the ink cartridge holder, there’s a plastic flap that you lift while you awkwardly angle and push in the two cartridges until they kind of snap into place, at which point the plastic lid slides down creating a type of cradle to keep them in place. If you can get this part correct, the rest of the product is a breeze to setup.
The Envy is the first printer I’ve had in twenty-five years that does not come with a display screen. The Envy uses a smart control panel where buttons appear only when needed. This technology didn’t work all that well during the initial setup process, specifically during the printer alignment step. During this phase of setup a page is printed then needs to be scanned. Pressing the scan button that lit up did nothing. Eventually the printer hit some type of internal timeout and the button flashed a couple of times, I pressed the scan button a couple more times and eventually the printer figured out how to scan the document and complete the alignment setup process. Post setup, a firmware update was installed and no similar problems have occurred so make sure you get that firmware update installed.
Adobe released the 2020 Coloring Book the day before the printer arrived so I downloaded this 72-page 800MB PDF from Adobe: https://creativecloud.adobe.com/cc/discover/article/adobe-coloring-book-2020. Printing this thing two-sided on HP’s premium photo paper would be a great test case for the Envy.
I started by trying to print a single page from the Coloring Book and the result was an 8.5 X 11 full page of solid black ink. It was not what I was hoping for, but this accident illustrated that the Envy is not all that great when it comes to large solid black prints, as the printer suffers from banding see Image number 1 included.
Image number 2 of a three-eyed woman was printed on an HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M479fdw using the same paper used with the Envy. Notice the black sky is solid black with no banding. Looking at the same image printed with the Envy in image number 3, the banding presents heavily in the sky, but the remainder of the document looks crisp.
Image number 4 of the mermaids is the LaserJet, Image number 5 is the Envy. They are almost identical and the Envy does great with small patches of black. The bottom line here is that the Envy is great for everyday printing, but is not a printer I would turn to if you plan to print photos.
Note that the images you are seeing here were printed, then scanned using the Envy’s automatic document feeder and the HP Smart App for macOS with the default resolution of 300dpi
Print quality aside, the double-sided printing feature had the 72 page coloring book printed in around 15 minutes. Approximately 4 minutes of that total time was the printer giving the ink about 6-8 seconds to dry before pulling the page back over to flip on the other side. It’s not the fastest printer around but I’ll take quality of printing over speed any day of the week.
Without an LCD to display warning and errors, the printer comes with a speaker that emits all kinds of musical chimes to alert you to activity including inserting or removing paper into the 35-page automatic document feeder (ADF). The ADF is not particularly fast or slow but worked well and the speaker emits loud enough sounds to get my attention when necessary.
The last area I’ll comment on is HP Plus. HP’s subscription service to assist with automatic ink cartridges when necessary. The day after printing the 72-page coloring book, the single black page, and nothing else, I opened up the HP Smart App (version 12.6.2 (552) from my macOS and the app displayed a warning that the ink levels are low. Closing the app, rebooting the macOS and then re-opening the HP Smart app results in no warning sign about the ink levels, but Image 5 shows you the current estimated ink levels. I’m feeling ignorant as I’m not sure why printing 73 pages of black results in the color ink cartridges being used at all, but it will be interesting to see when this printer actually triggers a new cartridge to be ordered. If you do sign up for HP Plus, HP indicates that the ink cartridges you receive will include MORE ink than what you get by going to a retailer, and I hope more ink than what comes in the box as the starter set of ink.
Apr 19, 2021 12:12Easy to use. Easy to setup.
This multifunction printer is great for home use.
Ink install was easy. Just follow the program steps and you are set.
Setup on Android Pixel 3XL was a snap. Setup on my kids chrome books was easy.
The 6 months of HP+ required me to enter my payment info. Ok. Was not too fond of that but at least it will cover me for 6 months. Fyi I have another printer enrolled in HP+ and they just sent me ink for that other printer. I did not have to do anything. Pretty nice. And it was within my 6 months so it was free. Nice.
HP did finally hear my complaint which was to fix their software bugs. I just got an update on Android and it looks like the interface is much better and remembers my phone or kids chromebook when updates occur and does not make it a pain to look for the printer again and again. So thanks HP.
The printer itself is sleek. It has a nice LED light and has a modern look.
Print quality it decent for an ink jet. Based on size of inkjet cartridges you will go through ink cartridge pretty fast so be aware of this as part of your consideration.
Based on what I have seen, I would recommend this product for simple home use. Hope HP keeps up with their software interface.
Only con was that my first print out the paper jammed. It might have been operator error. After I cleared it I printed out several other items and no jam.
