Don’t buy this product
When to replace the multicolored inc, put a new one in, it doesn’t work. Bought another one brand new multicolored. Inc doesn’t work something to do with the contacts

Reliable All-in-One Printer with Minor Drawbacks
I’ve been using the HP DeskJet 4255e for a few months now, and it’s a solid performer for home use. Here’s my take on it:Pros:Versatility: This printer does it all – print, scan, copy, and even fax. It’s a great all-in-one solution for home offices or households with multiple users.Wireless Connectivity: Setting up the wireless connection was a breeze, and it stays reliably connected. I can print from my phone or computer without any hassle. Having that feature alone makes the cost worth it for me.Print Quality: The print quality is good for everyday tasks like printing documents, photos, and even some graphics. The colors are vibrant, and the text is sharp. My wife uses the prints for her CRICUT designs and they look amazing.Compact Design: It’s compact and doesn’t take up too much space, which is perfect for smaller home offices or apartments.HP Instant Ink: The included 3 months of HP Instant Ink is a nice touch. It saves me the hassle of running out of ink unexpectedly, and the subscription is affordable.Cons:Noise Level: The printer can be a bit noisy, especially during multi-page printing or scanning. It’s not deafening, but it’s noticeable. At the end of the day, this is a minor issue…. it’s a printer.Cost of Ink: While the HP Instant Ink subscription is convenient, the cost of ink can add up if you print frequently. It’s something to keep in mind if you’re a heavy user. Also, be aware the free color ink included does not actually work if you don’t sign up for the HP service. So be sure to buy color ink separately if you don’t want to pay for a subscription.Speed: The print speed is decent, but it’s not the fastest. For large print jobs, it might take a bit longer than some higher-end models.Overall, the HP DeskJet 4255e is a reliable and versatile all-in-one printer that’s well-suited for home use. It offers good print quality and wireless connectivity but be mindful of the noise level and ink costs if you’re a heavy user.

DISGUSTED WITH HP… DO NOT BUY THIS GARBAGE PRINTER!! GO TO DELL, BROTHER, ETC INSTEAD!!
UPDATE 4/28/2024:Although this printer was beyond the return period from Amazon, after I got the replacement printer which still was not working, I told HP that I did not want anything to do with that printer model and that I was requesting either a full refund or a different model printer.They offered me a credit towards a different model but wanted me to pay the difference. At that point, I did not want to invest any extra money in a HP printer so asked for the refund.The HP Escalation Team was very reasonable and communicated with me throughout the whole process of sending me a check for the exact amount I originally paid to Amazon and then asking me to send back the original printer and just discarding the defective replacement.This took a lot of phone calls from me to get to the Escalation Team but I was so done at that point once the replacement was not even working. So, I stand by the original review to AVOID this printer but HP does have excellent customer service and, in this case, they did everything I requested to make this situation right and give me some closure.I wouldn’t write off HP as a company but maybe get a less flimsy and completely inept model. If you do get really stuck, contact HP because they did do their best to find a resolution and genuinely seemed to care after I kept insisting for a refund or different model printer.If you do contact HP with any issues, I recommend asking for a supervisor or referral for your case to the escalation team if it’s something really serious or frustrating. Typically, you have to deal with customer service via a chat platform but you can request a supervisor there.The empathy I received from HP helped to defuse the situation and restored my respect for the company. Technically, I was beyond the return window and HP didn’t have to do anything at all, but they listened t my concerns with sincerity. They first tried resolving it by sending a replacement printer and then supported my subsequent decision to get the heck out of Dodge and abandon ship.Thank you, HP! You truly do stand by your core values: “We are a technology company born of the belief that companies should do more than just make a profit. They should make the world a better place.”=================================================ORIGINAL REVIEW FROM EASTER 2024:This is the worst printer I have ever bought in my entire life! The first model had the top snap off from the tiny plastic hinge which held it, then I contacted tech support for HP and was told by the representative that they couldn’t help me since it was a “customer induced” problem!I attached pictures; you can see the one cheap plastic that is supposed to bear all of the weight of the heavy cover — feels like at least 2 pounds as it’s lifted up and down.Then I explained that was inappropriate, accusing me of basically breaking the printer on purpose and calling me a liar! Finally after another hour of insistence, the representative agreed to send me a replacement printer which I JUST GOT delivered on Friday!!!Now it is EASTER SUNDAY and was just trying to photocopy a simple document to bring with me to the family gathering and am spending it with HP support again — they want to troubleshoot why there are BLINKING RED ERROR LIGHTS and the printer keeps making humming sounds, moving around, not printing or photocopy, and now none of the buttons do anything when I press them! I contacted support, requesting a REFUND or a DIFFERENT MODEL and the representative just keeps saying they want to “troubleshoot” and do technical support!!!I never wrote a bad review on Amazon like this after almost 20 years of ordering on here. But this is RIDICULOUS, I never had so many ISSUE because of a PRINTER! No wonder why Amazon is offering it right now for 40% off, down to $60 from the $99 I paid for it!!! DO NOT GET THIS PRINTER, you will REGRET IT.. It is Easter and I am just so frustrated by this device!Why can I not click the PHOTOCOPY button like I have with every other printer I ever owned in my life and watch the printer spit out a simple black and white page?Even the PIXMA which I had for over 5 years never did this, and that seemed pretty cheaply made too! But the cover never broke off, and it never let me down! I’ve had DELL, BROTHER, CANON, EPSON.. none of them had the cover bust off just from trying to scan a document! Now I just get a replacement and then I can’t even make a basic one-page photocopy? And then I have to spend HOURS trying to get support, entering my phone number 5 times to finally get to a live agent?YOU WILL RUE THE DAY YOU BUY THIS PRINTER!! DO NOT MAKE THE MISTAKE I DID! I am on the verge of just throwing this printer into the DUMPSTER for the satisfaction of being FINISHED with it this complete waste of $100 if HP does not give me a refund or send a different model!!I WISH I BELIEVED THE POOR REVIEWS ON HERE.. they are TRUE! I wish I had listened… please save yourself this complete mental stress and feeling of BETRAYAL that what I thought was a reputable brand, would let me down in SO MANY WAYS!!If you do choose to ignore my warning — and again I have never left a review like this and do not think I even have left any negative reviews — then when it BREAKS on you and you realize what a total piece of JUNK this is with its CHEAP lightweight PLASTIC and apparent electronic issues… then just remember this review.. and then you’ll be in my position, leaving a negative review.. saying to yourself, “Darn, I really should have listened to that guy… he was RIGHT!”I’ve had a BROTHER laser printer for five years… it never let me down.. HP has let me down twice now in the space of FIVE MONTHS!Good luck.

Ok printer
I bought this printer to replace an older hp model. It is lightweight. It was difficult to set up even following the instructions on the paper and QR code. It took hours and it should have been quick and easy. The print quality is ok but I wish you did not have to manually flip the paper for dual sided printing. Overall it isn’t expensive and you get what you pay for.

Easy to set up WiFi printer, functions perfectly
Easy WiFi setup to computer, your phone will not accept it running off any VPN which you may need to turn off temporarily to install. Software works quickly and as expected, was compatible with my home system and iPhone. Ink capacity seems typical of the brand and at-home printers generally. Color was accurate and vibrant. Holds quite a bit of paper as I had to print off over a 30 page brochure immediately. Both black and color print quality were excellent and I have no complaints.

Super simple to set up.Works great for printing from my IPadWould recommend this printer to anyone who does home printing.Love the on line print supplies, they send ink when the printer is low, so hopefully I will never be in a situation of running out of ink.
