HP Envy 6455e Wireless Color All-in-One Printer with 6 Months Free Ink (223R1A) (Renewed Premium), white

I agree with previous users. While i had no problem setting this printer up and printing. As soon as I cancelled my account when the free time period was up my printer would no longer print. I resigned up and it prints like a charm. I cancelled it again a month ago and bang same thing. I cannot print no matter what I do. Signed up again for the 0.99/ month plan and was instantly able to print again . I do not want to be held captive by this company. As soon as I can I will buy another printer. I am not going to pay even 0.99 a month just to keep a printer active and support something that is such a rip off!Update on this —- after much research you can use this printer after you cancel your instant ink or paper membership. You do need to set up an account to set up printer. What they do not make clear is that the ink cartridges included in the box are special.(they say instant ink on them). Once your free 6 months is up you need to either sign up for one of their plans to continue using these cartridges. They communicate with HP as to when to send you more ink. If you cancel the plan the communication stops immediately and the ink cartridges will not print. Its not the printer its the cartridges. If you decide to not pay for an ink membership you must take out the original ink cartridges (throw them out) and replace with regular HP ink cartridges for your specific printer. This was not originally made clear when I bought this printer, but this last time when I cancelled the plan they asked me to confirm that I understood the instant ink cartridges would not work and I would not be able to print with out replacing the cartridges etc. I am no longer on their plan and I am printing fine with this printer.

This is a good home printer for the price. It prints a nice page in black and white which is what I wanted. Color printing is decent. Fairly quiet, but slow. Very easy to set up. I like the subscription for ink.

So, let’s start with the pros.1: it came the next day, so crazy fast shipping.2: The printing speed is insanely fast as well.3: The print quality is the best I’ve seen on a home printer, and is even better than many office printers I’ve used.4: I love scanning a picture and being able to see it on my computer screen to make sure everything is lined up right before I waste ink printing, only to find something looks off. It’s also convenient for when I need to email a document, as opposed to printing.Now, the reasons I can’t recommend it.1: it won’t stay online, and support said something along the lines of it’s because my router needs to be tuned down, or I’m not close enough to it for the printer to stay online.I have no idea how to slow down the router, and considering I pay good money for fast, reliable internet, why would I?? Second, the printer is literally right next to the router. When it advertises that I can remote print, but it won’t print when I’m three inches away....I researched it, and this appears to be a fairly common problem for this printer. Unplugging it works to wake it up, but that’s getting really annoying, really fast.2: It drinks ink. I’m not kidding. I’ve had tons of printers over the years, and I understand an ink cartridge never lasts long, but I printed 15 colored pages, and it’s already out of ink. And ten of them weren’t even blue, which is the main color it was supposed to be. They came out pink because my brand new ink cartridge only had enough cyan for five pages. That’s insane to me, as the image only filled half the page. I did sign up for the HP ink program, and I’m seriously hoping I don’t get burned on it because my printer won’t stay online, which is one of the conditions to get the ink. I can’t afford to buy full priced ink cartridges for this thing, so if they refuse to honor the subscription, I just wasted $160.Considering the price, I definitely don’t think I got my money’s worth. I’m going to keep it, as shipping it back would be a nightmare, and I do love some of the features, but when this printer inevitably breaks down, I don’t think I’ll be getting another one.Edit one month laterIt doesn’t print 90% of the time, and there’s absolutely no reason given why it doesn’t. What should take me seconds to print requires a minimum of three hours of hitting print over and over and over!! I’ve never been so frustrated with a product in my life.If it’s not filled to the top with paper, it considers it low, and even if there are 50 pages in the drawer and you only need to print one, sorry kid, quit being lazy and fill it up. Again.It constantly goes off line, and I have to unplug it and plug it in to get it back online.And forget about remote printing! 6 feet away from the physical printer is considered remote!! And that’s apparently an issue, so I literally have to sit directly in front of the printer, and have my HP laptop touching it.PRINTING IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THIS FLIPPING HARD!Do yourself a favor and purchase a printer that can actually print the first time. Wish I had. Gotta start saving money for one that actually works. Thanks HP!!

My previous HP printer finally broke after almost 10 years. I did my research on new HP printers to find one that worked well but didn't break the bank for my home use. I settled on the ENVY 6455e. I read reviews that the setup was difficult. However, I had absolutely no problem setting it up. I used the app on my iPhone 12 to set it up and it went very smoothly. From there I was able to easily add the printer to my Mac and my iPad to print wirelessly. My big complaint, however, is the lack of instruction on how to actually use the printer features. For example, how to load photo paper to print photos. I cannot find any information on this at all. The printer has been working fine for basic printing and scanning documents, but I feel as though I could be getting more value from it by printing photos, etc. But I can't figure out how to do it without some basic instruction.

works well, nice print easy to use, but the initial configuration is a bit harsh, but with a bit of time and reading i finally got it straighti recommend it

I don’t do a lot of print but this printer fits my needs- especially glad it does 2 sided copies

When my hp 7640 developed a paper jam I couldn't find, I decided to replace it. After days of reading reviews, taking cost and shipping in mind, I decided on the 6455. When I unpacked I was impressed on it being smaller and lighter then the 7640. Hp have been my printer of choice for decades but if this current tech continues, I'll be finding a different brand name. Instead of a good menu this one had buttons lit in different colors and a light around the bottom. The color light around the bottom flashes in different colors specifying different function working properly. I spent hours trying to get it connected, the ink registered and at the end the printer would not print. Luckily after watching U-Tube Hp fix video's, I watched a fix paper jam of a different make of printer where it was suggested to shake the printer when it was upside down.

I was 50/50 on purchasing this printer since the reviews were mixed. The print quality and ease of use is pretty good. The set up on the otherhand is this. 1. Online will tell you that the set up is best done with a mobile phone. Well, it was not for me (iPhone user). I guess it depends what type of phone you have. Took me several tries on my phone and gave up after 30mins to an hour or so. I was determined to have this printer set up so I tried the desktop option. Within 10-15mins, everything was set up, and done. By the way, if you happen to reach the point where you need a "password", it's a whole other process to get that. So I suggest to look on YouTube, and there is a gentleman who will walk you through it. In the end, I didn't need it after trying to set up the printer via desktop instead of mobile phone. I am pretty happy with the printer and quality so far. Not sure how long the ink will last, pending on each customers usage. And for those who said that the light stays on, yes it does - but there is a power button at the back of the printer that will shut down the light and power if it bothers you so much.

Excellent - can print from any room
