Our take on the HP DeskJet 4255e All-in-One Inkjet Printer

The HP DeskJet 4255e is a compact wireless inkjet all-in-one that prints, copies and scans in color. It stands out for an automatic document feeder, which is rare at this level, and for AirPrint and Mopria support that make phone printing easy. Print speeds are slow at up to 8.5 ppm mono and 5.5 ppm color, and there is no auto duplex, so double-sided pages are flipped by hand. It suits light home and student use where scanning and copying matter more than speed or volume.
