Should You Buy the HP DeskJet 4155e?
What Other Printers Should You Consider?

Our Verdict
The HP Deskjet 4155e is a mixed bag. On the one hand, it performs pretty well across the board and even surprised us with its excellent photo and graphic print abilities. On the other hand, it has extremely high operating costs, and it is one of the most expensive models to own over time. It is also confined by HP's proprietary ink service, making possible workarounds obsolete. Overall, this printer makes sense for those whose priority is the low initial purchase price and want a high-quality printer capable of producing solid photo prints but don't use their printer very often.
REASONS TO BUY
Small size
Good graphic and photo quality for its price class
REASONS TO AVOID
Expensive operating cost
No duplex printing
Inconsistent quality for print jobs
HP ink cartridges only

The HP DeskJet 4155e is an all-in-one inkjet printer designed for home use. It's identical to the HP DeskJet Plus 4155 but comes with a six-month supply of free ink through HP+, HP's ink subscription service. It uses a two-cartridge system with one black and one tri-color cartridge, and it's compatible with the HP 67, 67XL, and 67XXL cartridges. It has USB and Wi-Fi connectivity, supports Apple AirPrint and Mopria Print Service, and works with HP's Smart mobile app. Its scanner has an automatic feeder but doesn't support duplex scanning.

This printer is part of the HP DeskJet 4100e all-in-one series, which includes many variants. All of the variants are identical in feature and performance; the model number simply changes slightly depending on the region and retailer. You can see all the variants in the Differences Between Variants section below.

Our Verdict
N/A Family
The HP DeskJet 4155e is sub-par for family use. Its print quality isn't very good for documents and photos, and it's expensive to maintain because the ink cartridges run out quickly. It also prints very slowly, which might be a problem if you're in a household with many people sharing the printer. The scanner has an automatic feeder, but unfortunately, it's slow and produces mediocre-quality scans that lack fine detail, which isn't ideal for digitizing photos.
