HP Deskjet 4155e Printer Review: All in One Wireless Color Printer
Ғылым және технология
I'd say it's an ongoing debate: do you really need a printer in the house?
With so many of our documents, photos and spreadsheets online, a printer's usefulness might be questionable today. Even so, there's no doubt that a printer can be handy. When I needed one for my home office, I decided to try out the HP DeskJet 4155e All-in-One Printer. In this review, I'll tell you what you get, what the setup process is like, what the print quality is, and if I would recommend it to you.

Get one USA: amzn.to/3KPXist
Moving on to the setup, you'll need to get the printer working online and connected to your Wi-Fi. This was definitely a hurdle; I've set up a few HP printers with my MacBook Pro and in almost every case, it will not connect on its own. Eventually, I had to contact HP customer service for some help. Fortunately, that was quick and I was ready to go after around 20 minutes on the phone. Mac Users, beware! The last time I reviewed an Epson printer I had similar but resolvable compatibility issues.
How fast does HP Deskjet 4155e print?
I printed a lot of documents, and I can confirm that it prints really fast. From the time that I hit print to it activating was less than 5 seconds. A full page of black takes about 6-8 seconds, while shorter pages take far less time. HP's website says it'll print around 8.5 pages per minute.
HP DeskJet 4155e: HP Smart app
If you want a little tech-help with your printing, you can use HP's Smart App. It gives you access to some of the same features that are present on the device or on your phone, but you can also set-up the HP 'Instant Ink Program' which will deliver ink to your door when your device runs low, which is cool.
Photo printing
Though the website doesn't say that this printer is designed for printing photos, you sure can. I bought some HP photo printer paper and tested it.
You need to manually load the paper in the back, and you can load multiple sheets at once. It will only take what it needs.
Overall review of HP DeskJet 4155e
Once I finally got help with setting this printer up, the HP DeskJet 4155e worked like a dream. This is a great printer and can match the speed of other printers which are the same type and size. The printer itself is light, easy to move around, and the flexibility of having ink-tanks to store years of ink shouldn't be underestimated. I also love that you can see the ink levels in the tank at a glance.

I use it as an office printer. lol. My employees get mad because they want the biggest and best one. But I tell them I’m able to pay you so much because we don’t have extravagant office equipment. They all line up by the printer getting their documents. Overall it’s a great machine. If it breaks I’m getting another. lol.
will keep this printer in mind. thanks

Nice job Erin, your reviews are always well done. It might have been a good idea to provide the cost of the printer in Canadian dollars as well as U.S. like you usually do though.

Thank you so much Kassie. Congratulations on your upcoming wedding and thank you for the compliment. Great question about card stock. I didn’t try that and have already returned the printer. I think it could probably handle this through the manual feeder. Might be best to ask HP

When you scan an appropriate document - does it scan to PDF and is it searchable text (OCR)?

Thanks for this review. How do you think it compares to the more economical 2755? They have the same duty cycle but the 4133 has the document feeder and 3 months more free insta ink. HP chat says 4133 has better components but not sure if actually true or not.
Gracias por la información.
This is a great printer and scanner
Hello Erin, can u tell me how to use the Fa, feature on the Hp Deskjet 4155e? Please advise.
Is it possible to use only the "copy" function without having to connect to a computer? My mom wants a copier but doesn't have a computer.
Hi Erin, Thanks for the video. It is very helpful. Does HP 4155e print passport size photos?

I’m afraid it does not. But you could certainly investigate printing a small format on to a larger sheet than cutting it out
I was wondering if you can do also a video on how to use the facts part of the printer?
Good video. Where do I place a blank envelope to print one?
Good video appreciate it

Hi Marian I wish I could… But tech support is not my specialty. You are best to reach out directly to HP. Their customer service is actually quite fast and very helpful.
Nice review; thanks! I purchased one today. The only negative I read online is that it supposedly uses a lot of toner. Any input on that?

Debate??? In WHOSE house???? There is NO debate!!!!! I dont need a printer often, but when I need one, I REALLY need one. In color. HP and Adobe (no more FLASH) stopped supporting my old HP 4280C series all in one. I should have bought a new one like in the video ages ago. Bigger, but more features. Time will tell. This new HP is DIRT cheap in these times of hyper inflation. 70 bucks. SAME day delivery with Amazon!

Hi Erin, while you said it was easy to print photos, you didn't elaborate on how to do this, can you please offer some advice?
@ErinLawrenceTV

It’s as simple as loading a piece of photo paper in the rear tray then printing from my phone. The printer recognizes it is a photo and adapt accordingly. Does that help?
The auto 2 sided printing is a deal breaker, other than that it's seems like a solid printer
It was kind of a pain to connect in the beginning. I guess the days of plug and play are over. Once it was connected it worked great.

Nice review. My old printer ran out of ink. Hp 6600. Very old. Installed the ink and found out the printer was toast. Took my ink cartridges back to Staples and got a refund I paid $56 for and as I was leaving I saw this printer for $69. I scored. This printer is way better.

Does it accept an ethernet cable in addition to the wireless connection? Thank You.
Every time I change the ink the tiny orange light comes on to the right of the little screen. I have checked everything, it just wont print.
I recently bought one of these. I haven’t yet found out how to print borderless pictures. Eventually I’ll figure that out.

Hello! Question: Does it SEND and RECEIVE Faxes?

It has the capability for that, but you have to have it connected to a phone line from what I understand. Since I have no landline I was not able to test this feature.
Don't waste one penny on the 4155E, nothing but hassles and trouble. I bought it back in December and it only worked for a few months. No it will not connect to my fiber optic router. Thing is good for a door stop and nothing more.
Can you explain what your MacBook hookup problem was?

Your answer is in your question: "MacBook".
Setting up the printer and connecting to your wifi is easy peasy if you download and use the HP Smart App on your phone. Also, the HP DeskJet 4155e Wireless Printer is capable of automatic duplex printing, which means it can print on both sides of the paper without the need for manual intervention. Perhaps do a bit more research before you review a product. But an A+ for a short concise nice presentation.

does it print checks?
Does this work with chromebook?
I may be incorrect about this but it looks like if you subscribe to hp+ everything you print ends up on cloud storage somewheres at HP. I have a big problem with this. I scan personal documents often and want them stored locally in my machine. I do not trust cloud storage.
Hp computer would go great with my Hp printer right???
you are awesome
After changing ink cartridges, prints VERY lightly
I bought this printer some time ago used it a few times for some reason now its not working correctly however I think its my lack of knowledge on using it .After 20 minutes I get totally frustrated and walk away its just so so dificult

I think she meant duplex printing as in 2 sides at the same time. If it can't do the regular 2 sided printing then it's a major no for me.
