  • Our take on the HP DeskJet 4255e

    The HP DeskJet 4255e is a compact all-in-one inkjet that prints, scans, copies and faxes, with a 35-sheet automatic document feeder and a flatbed scanner. It is built for light home and home-office duty, with Wi-Fi, AirPrint and USB, and a small mono display instead of a touchscreen. Print speeds are modest at 8.5 ppm mono and 5.5 ppm color, and the 60-sheet tray needs frequent refills. It is the kind of printer that suits occasional documents and schoolwork, not a busy office; rivals in the same class are faster and hold more paper, but few pack fax and an ADF into this footprint.

    What reviewers say

    Owners treat the DeskJet 4255e as a basic home all-in-one and judge it on that basis. Most praise the easy wireless setup and the convenience of having scan, copy and fax together, while complaints center on slow output, small paper capacity and ink use.

    What people mention
    • Print speedCriticisedOwners say color pages come out slowly and mono printing is fine only for short jobs.
    • Paper capacityCriticisedThe 60-sheet tray fills up fast, so users refill it often during bigger print runs.
    • SetupPraisedReviewers find the HP app and Wi-Fi pairing straightforward on phones and computers.
    • Ink costCriticisedUsers report ink cartridges deplete quickly, which makes frequent printing expensive.
    • ADF and scanningPraisedThe automatic document feeder is called useful for copying and faxing multi-page documents.
    • Build and sizeMixedOwners like the small footprint but describe the plastic body as light and basic.

    Questions and answers

    Is the HP DeskJet 4255e good for a home office?
    Yes for light duty: it prints, scans, copies and faxes, and the ADF helps with multi-page documents. It is slow and holds little paper, so it is not suited to heavy daily volume.
    Does it print double-sided automatically?
    Duplex printing is optional, not standard, so automatic two-sided printing depends on the configuration. Check the specific unit before buying if duplex matters to you.
    Can I print from a phone?
    Yes. It supports Wi-Fi and AirPrint, and the HP app handles setup and mobile printing from iOS and Android devices.
    How fast is it?
    HP rates it at 8.5 pages per minute in mono and 5.5 in color. Real-world speeds with graphics are slower, and owners confirm color jobs take a while.
    What comes in the box?
    The printer, setup ink cartridges, a power cord and setup instructions. A USB cable is usually not included, so buy one if you plan to connect by wire.
    Is it good for photos?
    It can print color photos, but it is a general-purpose inkjet with modest resolution and speed. For frequent photo printing, a dedicated photo printer serves better.
    Where is the HP DeskJet 4255e cheapest?
    At Staples, for $109.89, as of our latest check.
    Where can I buy the HP DeskJet 4255e?
    3 stores we checked sell it, including Best Buy, Staples, Office Depot.
