Says All in One, but not really

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Hp DeskJet printer, 4252e is an all in one or multifunctional printer that is made with at least 60% recycled plastic and promised an easy set up. Did it deliver? I would say yes.
Out of the box, the printer was breeze to set up. I love how it's only plug and play. Literally, that's all you have to do to set it up, minus the WiFi part and putting in the ink. Speaking of ink, putting in the ink was easy too. Unlike other printers where you have to open the hood so to say to reach the ink cartridges, with this one you don't have to do that. The ink cartridges are in the front! Where the paper tray is. After opening the paper tray there's another door or tray you have to open. I like how accessible the ink cartridges are. No more awkward twisting my body to reach it. Another thing that I liked about this printer was the weight. I can tell that it's made out of recycled plastic due to how light it is. Another thing that I liked about this printer was how fast it printed. I didnt even wait 2-3 minutes for it to print out. Now, there are a couple of things that I found that I did not like while testing this printer out. One, is that it says it's an all in one (website) and on the paper multifunctional. In order for it to be an all in one it should do everything, including fax, but this printer does not do that unfortunately. Another thing I disliked about this printer is the small led screen. I wish it was brighter and digital since the symbols and words that appear on the screen can be hard to read in certain lighting. I also dislike the color of the printer, white. You can see every smudge, every stain or blemish on white.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Who doesn’t love an all-in-one printer?
Making my life so much easier by being able to print, copy, and scan. I enjoy how quickly it prints, and I have made no mistakes so far with this printer. I currently have a small business, so this has been a lifesaver. I signed up for a subscription to get more ink and paper every month, and it will order automatically when more is needed, which is a lifesaver for me.

Simple Printer

from Loxahatchee
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the simplicity of this printer even though i think it is kind of slow! If possible i recommend a higher up level! I think a darker color for printer is better and on this model only the white one is available! Another thing that i don’t like is that the ink will not last as long as i expect! The HP application for me is kind of confuse, it took a bit of time to install and i don’t use it! I just press print right after whatever i have to print! The quality of the print is ok! As a simple printer we can only expect so much! If you need to print many pages and fast better look for another way to print, as this printer is not fast and quality specially color wise is not that good. But if you just need a simple printer for home use this will be ok!

Just what i needed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recieved my Printer and it is perfect. Just what i needed for my home office .
it prints fast The colors are vibrant and no smudging .
I have it hooked up the USB cord, but love the wifi option.
I did have an issue with Printing it kept wanting to save it instead of printing. I little research i found that it needs to be on Microsoft IPPClass driver to print, so once i changed this setting no further issues. Having the smart ink delivery will be a time saver and will save some money.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This HP Deskjet 4252e, printer is great. Quick and easy set up had me printing within minutes. I love the full size scanner, even made a copy of our hands to last a lifetime. Fast printing with excellent color. Wireless printing from the kitchen to the office is great feature to have. Overall I'm very happy with printer and would recommend it to family and friends. I love the 3 months of free ink via HP website. My daughter is getting into scrapbooking and this will be a money saver!

Good for some, not for all

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First impressions out of the box: sleek, lightweight and basic. The screen is very small. My wife doesn't have the best eyesight, so the screen was hard to read. The paper tray can be tucked away when not in use. After removing all the tape, set up was about 15 minutes. Did not see the step 5 in the quick set up guide for set up and animations. But since using a printer before I knew how to install ink and paper. Not a lot of paper will fit in the loading tray, just a pinch, so not ideal for big projects. Wireless printing worked great. Printing speed was efficient. Even tried to print a photo using HP glossy photo paper. It took 1 minute & 15 sec but the picture came out nice. This printer is good for printing and copying documents; small projects only. Photo printing is good for a couple of photos, not an album. But also not sure how many photos you can get before new ink cartridges are needed. Overall this printer will not work for my family. Its not fast enough and as basic as they come. The screen size is just too small.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this printer! It's replacing an almost 10 year old HP that I have, and I love how fast it prints. It was simple to set up and connect to my wifi, and the free trial of HP Ink is a plus. I like that the copier bed is a nice size, and I like that I can scan or copy multiple pages at a time. I'd highly recommend this for a basic printing needs, home office, or small business needs.
