I bought this printer a couple months or so ago and have barely been able to use it. It refuses to connect to the internet in my house at times and refuses to connect to the device that I'm trying to print from other times. I have probably successfully printed about 10 pages of printouts since I've started using it. I don't have any issues connecting to the wifi on other devices in the same room as the printer. I even went out and bought a wifi extender to see if that would work. Nope. The only thing I've actually observed working is re-setting up the printer in the HP smart app, the printer worked that day...then a few days later try to print something again and it just fails to print. I then reset the thing and it came back up and the internet light/button never lit back up and haven't been able to get it to connect to our wifi ever since. I can try re-setting up the printer in the app to see if that would work again (it has twice previously), but it's pretty terrible that I have to go through setting up the printer from the beginning every time I want to use it. As of right now it's a useless, oversized brick sitting on my desk.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi there.
I’m sorry you’ve encountered so much difficulty with your printer. It’s easy to understand why connectivity trouble that results in the need to reinstall the device and now seems like a permanent wireless freezeout would be exasperating over the course of two months of ownership. I want to help you resolve this situation, so I’ll provide a resource and some information I hope will reach that goal.
I recommend that you contact us directly so we can help you assess the situation and determine the best course of action. HP+ printers such as yours come with exclusive concierge support. To call and reach live HP+ experts, visit the following URL and enter your HP+ serial number: - hp.com/plus-help
I'll also mention that HP printers have a one-year warranty from their purchase date that covers hardware as well as ink supplies – and that warranty extends to two years with an HP+ account – 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 found the HP 6455 e just a little difficult to load; but not too bad. The instructions on paper could have been a tad clearer and the graphics on screen had a tendency for critical spots to slide outside my screen bottom. But once I realized this it went smoothly. I have been very impressed with machines versatility and ease of use once loaded.
I was so impressed I recommended this printer to my neighbor. Then I had to come over and help her load. Unfortunately no matter what I did I could not get her computer to connect wirelessly to the printer. It could not find the printer. Eventually as a stopgap I used a printer wire and connected that way. There is nothing wrong with her computer as I was able to wirelessly connect to an expensive Xerox printer she had. She bought new printer because connection to Xerox was not working. Now she has two printers, one wireless. Some day when I have more enthusiasm I may try and connect her Hp again She Is 79 and unless her son connects it she isn’t going to. When she wants to read articles on internet she prints them.
Have had for several weeks. Low end unit with a poorly designed paper tray that is loaded from the front and is difficult to load. I have had problems with the unit not staying connected to internet.
