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.

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.
