This is WiFi only. No HMDI connection. You need to use the HP+ app on any device to use the printer. I found that it won’t print correctly when on a VPN for work, so I work around that.It’s not super fast but not super slow either. Set up with the app was easy and scanning worked well with an editor before saving the scan, which is helpful if you load it wrong on the glass.

I needed a wireless printer and this HP works great, it takes a little bit longer to print, good quality for it’s value, so far it is working good.

I had to replace my very old Canon Pixma and I couldn’t pass up this deal especially with the 3 month Free Ink replacement.I have a 2017 MacAir and once I went to 123.hp.com to connect the printer to my Mac I received a “pop-up” stating I needed Big Sur Upgrade in order to proceed & connect this printer but my Mac is not compatible with that program. After 3 hours of wasted time condensing, deleting files, etc. I decided to just connect my mobile device since everything I would possibly use the printer for was also on my cell as well. It took MAYBE 10 minutes at the most to connect via 123.hp.com and I was also able to receive the trial ink cartridges for 3 months. After finally testing the printer and loving it I took a break from my phone, etc to give my eyes a break. Once I had a clear head I remembered System Preferences has a “Printer/Scanner” icon. I went back to my Mac, clicked on that (if this is your first printer remember to turn off any Firewalls FIRST otherwise you will not be able to connect the printer. You can turn it back on once the Printer is in your system) and after adding the HP Deskjet 4255e with location (my home address), etc I had the printer connected and working with my Mac within a few minutes.That is everything in a nutshell and I hope this review helps anybody else in the future with their setup.You will definitely LOVE this Printer and the ease of operating it.

I know some reviewers had issues setting this up so I was a little worried. But it was super easy! I’m old fashioned and I guess you can’t get a printer that isn’t wireless very easy anymore. I was worried about it being wireless…we’ve all had issues with internet, wifi, or phone issues since back when it it all began. I was hesitant expecting issues with signal, communication between printer and phone, iPad,etc.WOW! I am VERY happy with this printer/scanner!! I cross stitch and buy a lot of PDF patterns. I can just download to my phone and print! Also, the patterns in my magazines, I can scan and print only the patterns i want, and keep my magazines on the shelf. When I buy a paper chart/pattern, I can scan it for my working copy (so I can use a highlighter or pen to mark on it), and sell the original, or give it away and not have to ruin the original by marking it up or bending it with lots of use. I use the XL ink cartriges and print in ‘draft’ mode which saves ink, but prints just as good as normal mode. If you’re printing photos you would want the better quality print mode of course. The app is super easy to use! I’ve had no issues with internet or communication from any device. The ink that comes with it prints quite a bit depending on the settings you choose for draft or quality print, and if you’re printing a lot of color pages, the ink does go quickly. I put a new color and black XL cartridges in and printed 70 pages that were full pages of dark browns and dark colors filling each whole page. My ink levels are low but still printing all colors and black with no lines or fade looking color like it will when you are at the end of your ink and keep printing till its so faded its time to change ink. Yeah, I get my moneys worth out of my ink…I first print what needs to be clear and perfect and when ink starts looking light, I print what isn’t so colorful, and doesn’t have to be perfect just able to actually see it or read it until it prints that page that is a ‘I can’t tell what’s what on the page’ or it starts getting really light and makes weird line breaks in the color.Over all, this is a great printer/scanner!I am very happy with it.Take your time setting it up and do every step properly as you go.One tip I learned a couple days ago: if you change your wifi password, you will have to remove the printer from your app, and reset it up as you did out of the box…but it only takes a couple minutes. The most frustrating part of that was the time I spent trying to just go into the app and change my wifi settings for a password change. I couldn’t find anything for that, and I’m not too fond of ‘tech support’ no matter what item,brand,service,etc. So there may be a way to do that without removing it and resetting it up, but that worked for me without having to deal with tech support.

This really is a great option for a all in 1 printer. It does all I need it to do and I have zero complaints. I love hp products and I’m happy with this product. Only thing that I can say was the setup black ink didn’t work, the color did so right now it only prints in color. Sucks I have to go buy black since it was supposed to come with working ones. But that has nothing to do with the printer itself. So honestly I would absolutely repurchase and I definitely recommend this to everyone. It prints perfectly and is fast.

This seems like a good printer so far. I like that it is wireless. At first it had an issue printing when I set it up. It only wanted to print the first page repeatedly. I cancelled all the print jobs and tried to reset things. Works great now and haven’t had the problem since. It was a good price and the print quality seems good for a basic printer.

I actually bought this for some one else in a different state so I have no idea of its operational particulars. I know it is wireless, except for the power plug of course, but that’s all I know.

We are using this printer and a remote commercial job site. So far it is worked great for the amount of work that is being done. I would highly recommend it for light office work.

Took a few trys to set up but after that this printer is very impressive and love all the features. It has never dropped the wifi connection for me

Easy setup, simple resources to answer questions and concerns, convenient as it does everything I needed and the print quality is great.
