HP ENVY 6055e Wireless Color Inkjet Printer, Print, scan, copy, Easy setup, Mobile printing, Best-for-home, 3 months of Instant Ink included,white

This HP’s had no issues so far. I was reluctant to get another HP after the last one I had a couple years ago, which had a really clunky and frustrating software package, combined with poor print quality. But then I replaced that with a Canon that couldn’t get though five print jobs without jamming, and finally an Epson that had even worse print quality. After the Epson locked up because I dared to use non-Epson ink cartridges, I decided to give HP another chance. Glad I did.

So far, I love this printer. It was fairly easy to set up, but did take some figuring to do it without installing all of HP’s software, which was my primary issue with the last HP I had. I eventually found HP’s EasyStart installer on their website, and from there it was easy to select the options and software I wanted to use. I went with a very basic install and haven’t had any problems with the software other than having to delete a few random new desktop icons.

After setup, it was like…having a normal printer! Refreshing. No jams, no stripy print jobs, no weird apps with a bunch of essentially useless features popping up when you just want to print something. I haven’t had a printer that worked to an acceptable basic standard in years. The first thing I printed with it was a shipping label and was like “Whoa, a normal printout!” The second thing I printed was some instructions, and the text is comparable to a laser printer. It’s also fast.

There are a couple other features that I like, starting with the icy-blue output tray light. It’s calming and makes me feel like this printer’s got it handled. Between that and the pleasant sound effects it makes for various functions, it feels like getting a little something extra. It doesn’t have a touchscreen, but it does have a lighted icon-pad, which in my opinion is all a printer really needs. Lastly, though the printer has a wider footprint, the paper tray is contained and concealed; you pull it out from the output tray deck, insert paper, and push it back in. No awkward paper tray extensions or paper sticking out of the top.

I finally had to buy a new printer because my trusty old HP printer (over 11 years of use!) finally started having issues. After much research and wading through several bad reviews on every printer I looked at, I decided to go with this one and crossed my fingers that it would be a good experience.

Everything started out fine, going through the process, but when it reached the step to connect to my wifi, it just would not, no matter what I tried, no matter what device I tried it on. I’m not new to technology and this type of thing should have been an easy process for me. Instead it was 6 hours of nothing working and complete frustration! Finally, I decided to just connect it with USB (USB cord doesn’t come with the printer btw), grabbed the USB cord from my old printer and gave it a go. After another hour of downloading the driver from HP’s website, and going through the lengthy installation, and it was connected via USB. Yay, time to print right? THINK AGAIN.

When I put the ink cartridges in, I instantly got an error message stating that the color cartridge was not communicating with the printer and no matter what I did, it would not work. I read page after page of other similar issues (many of those to be found with this printer!!) and finally realized that my brand new cartridge or the cartridge compartment in the brand new printer was defective. Seriously!? So I ordered another ink cartridge from HP for $25 to see if it would work in the ink compartment.

With time constraints on needing a working printer ASAP, I then decided to just send the defective printer back and have it replaced with the same model replacement. I was actually still hopeful I could make it work. Thankfully, I read the reviews on the actual ink cartridges for this printer and found out that they run out after 30 to 40 pages, though stating they will print 100 pages (still too low anyway). Since I can’t connect to the subscription program through HP, and receive ink monthly, and would need to order my cartridges on an as needed basis, this was the straw that broke the camel’s back.

I ordered a completely different printer that hopefully will suit my printing needs better and will not arrive defective and unable to connect wirelessly!

Would NEVER recommend this printer. Its too costly on ink and not user friendly at all. Don’t bother, trust me. Horrible experience.

Facile à installer! Prends peu d’espace, scannage facile à utiliser.
Nous devons télécharger l’app hp printer pour l’utiliser, permet la facilité la connexion wifi personel (iphone, imac) et bluetooth (imac) !

Firstly, I love the look of it. All of the funky different coloured lights are so cool. It’s nice and slim and not bulky. I couldn’t believe how easy it was to set up to my WiFi and to my iPhone. It didn’t need my router password or anything. Super easy to install the paper and ink. It’s really quiet and prints fast with great quality printouts. The instant ink feature is great and so convenient. It has many other wonderful features! Great app and support. Amazing printer especially for the price. I had a Canon Pixma before this one and it was an absolute piece of junk! I got so frustrated with it that I just recycled it. I think HP printers are the best. I’m so glad I chose this printer.
