Hi there.
I’m sorry to hear that the ink cartridges that came with your printer ran out so soon. I can certainly see why that would be an unwelcome surprise, so I’ll offer some information and resources that I hope will help.
First, some printers come with what are known as setup cartridges, which have a lower capacity than regular or XL cartridges, and less yet than ones in our Instant Ink program. Another possibility is the printer is not reading the cartridges correctly and is giving an inaccurate reading.
Regardless, I suggest that you contact us directly at +1 800-474-6836 so we can help you assess the situation and guide you through any applicable troubleshooting. (Please note that because of restrictions on personal movement and workplace attendance associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, wait times for agents are longer than normal. Thanks in advance for your understanding.) To expedite the process, I recommend gathering the following information before the call:
- Model number - Serial number - Your location - Case number (from any previous contact with HP support)
I'll also mention that HP printers have a one-year warranty from their purchase date that covers hardware as well as ink supplies, so if it comes to that, you might consider making use of it. You can verify the warranty using the following link: support.hp.com/us-en/checkwarranty
I've had this printer for almost three weeks and I'm disappointed. I emailed hp and this was the recommendation-suppose to be compatible with my Chromebook. I tried for a week to get it connected and I haven't had any success. At this point I'm wondering is it really compatible? I was going to try again and then write my review but decided against it because it shouldn't be this hard! For now I'm using a usb cable because I have to get things done but I'm not happy about it! I also agree with others-it's too loud and takes to long to boot up.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi there.
I’m sorry to hear that your printer has not connected wirelessly to your Chromebook. I can understand why that would be quite frustrating as well as disappointing, so I’ll offer some resources and information that I hope helps.
First, I reached out to a person who oversees this product line, and he recommended a couple of things for your Chromebook. He said you might try the HP Print for Chrome app. This works on Chromebooks as well as any operating system when using the Chrome browser. You can find a guide to using the app here: - support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04683559
Other remedies might exist, so I suggest you contact us directly at +1 800-474-6836 so we can help you assess the situation and guide you through any applicable troubleshooting. (Please note that because of restrictions on personal movement and workplace attendance associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, wait times for agents are longer than normal.

I found this printer to be very nicely built and compact. I was not a fan of the icons instead of language on the control panel. After several attempts to hook up to WiFi without a USB cable I gave up. We only bought this to replace our Envy 4500 which jammed. When preparing to recycle the 4500, I checked to see if I could remove the ink cartridges and it unjammed. I am planning to see how well it holds up and if it does I will give the 6455 another try.
