Is the HP ENVY 6055e good for a home office?

For occasional documents, yes. It is slow in color and not built for high monthly volumes, so a busy office will want a faster unit.

Can I use non-HP ink cartridges?

No. The printer is designed to work only with cartridges that have original HP chips or circuitry, and firmware updates keep that restriction in place.

What can I do from the HP Smart app?

You can set up the printer, print, scan and copy from your phone, and with HP+ you also get mobile fax and advanced scanning such as multi-item recognition.

Does it print in color and scan?

Yes. It prints, copies and scans in color, and connects over dual-band Wi-Fi or USB 2.0.

How fast does it print?

Up to 8.5 pages per minute in black and up to 5 pages per minute in color.
