It has an ADF-equipped scanner with automatic dual-pass duplex scanning capability and software-based optical character recognition. This printer is part of the HP OfficeJet 9010e series of all-in-ones, which includes many regional and retailer-specific variants.

It produces sharp documents and prints quickly at up to 15 black or 14 color pages per minute. As for photo printing, printed pictures look detailed and reasonably color-accurate but quite grainy.

You only need to worry about typical inkjet maintenance routines like printhead cleaning. It produces sharp documents, prints quickly at up to 15 black or 14 color pages per minute, and supports automatic double-sided printing.

It produces sharp documents, prints quickly at up to 15 black or 14 color pages per minute, and doesn't cost much to maintain due to its high page yield.

The black page yield is very good, and the ink cartridge is cheap, so you don't have to worry about spending too much on replacement ink. You can also get an XL ink cartridge that'll yield even more prints. It produces sharp documents, prints up to 15 pages per minute, and supports automatic duplex printing.

The HP OfficeJet Pro 9015e is a great printer for home offices. It's similar to the HP OfficeJet Pro 9015 and the HP OfficeJet Pro 9025, with a high page yield and fast printing speeds. However, cheaper options are available with an even higher page yield, like the Brother MFC-J4335DW.

The HP OfficeJet Pro 9015e and the HP OfficeJet Pro 9125e are similar printers, but the 9105e performs slightly better overall. The 9015e has a faster print speed and marginally quicker scan speed, and it produces nicer-looking photos as it does a better job reproducing small details. Although print quality is comparable, the 9125e does have a slightly higher page yield.
The HP OfficeJet Pro 9015e is better than the HP OfficeJet Pro 8025e. The 9015e has a much higher page yield and a lower cost-per-print. It also prints faster and can process double-sided scans. On the other hand, the 8025e produces higher quality black and color documents, and its scanner picks up finer details.
The HP OfficeJet Pro 9015e is better than the Epson EcoTank ET-2850. The HP feels better built, has a larger touch-sensitive display, and is capable of printing sharper, more detailed documents substantially faster. The HP is also a faster scanner capable of automatically processing double-sided documents. On the other hand, the Epson is the better buy for value-conscious consumers, as its supertank design allows for a much greater page yield. Combined with the relatively inexpensive ink refills, the cost-per-print is significantly less than the HP.
The HP OfficeJet Pro 9015e is much better than the HP ENVY Inspire 7955e. The OfficeJet 9015e yields significantly more pages at a much cheaper cost-per-print, prints much faster, and prints better-looking photos. Also, it has an Ethernet port and can print directly from USB flash drives. Although both printers have an ADF, the 9015e processes sheets faster and supports automatic dual-pass duplex scanning.
The HP OfficeJet Pro 7740 and the HP OfficeJet Pro 9015e are both all-in-one color inkjet printers meant for small or home offices, but the 7740 has a larger flatbed scanner and can print on wide, tabloid-format paper. Also, the 7740 produces higher-quality documents, and its ADF can duplex scan in one pass, whereas the 9015e needs two passes. However, the 9015e has much faster print speeds as well as a slightly better color page yield and cost-per-print.
The HP OfficeJet Pro 9015e and the HP OfficeJet Pro 9025e are very similar inkjet printers. They have nearly identical page yields and cost-per-prints, as well as the same connectivity options and scanner features. However, the 9025e holds double the amount of paper thanks to its second input tray. It also takes less time to warm up and produces higher-quality black and color documents. Both models are HP+ printers and come with six months of free ink through the HP Instant Ink service.
The HP OfficeJet Pro 9015e is a higher-end version of the HP OfficeJet 8015e with better performance and more features. The 9015e has a sturdier build, a nicer display, Ethernet connectivity, and duplex scanning. It prints and scans faster than the 8015e, and its ink cartridges yield significantly more prints, resulting in less frequent maintenance and lower recurring costs.
This printer requires a fair amount of maintenance, as, like most inkjet printers, the printheads can clog if left unused for an extended period. If you experience clogging, it has a few built-in maintenance functions to help resolve the issue, like printhead cleaning, printhead alignment, and smear cleaning. The ink cartridges yield a large number of prints, so you won't need to replace them often. When you do, you can easily access the cartridges through the front panel, though the printer needs to be on for the process. You can also access the sheet rollers via the front panel and move the cartridge carriage to the side to get to paper jams, but we don't expect jams to be a frequent issue.

The display is great. It's touch-sensitive and has an easy-to-navigate settings menu with audible feedback. There are also capacitive navigation buttons at the bottom when the screen is on. You can tilt the screen to make it easier to see when standing.
The HP 9015e has an excellent cartridge system. Whether you're printing in black and white or color, it prints a great number of pages before running out of ink. It's compatible with HP 962XL high-yield cartridges for better page yields, as well as third-party cartridges. For a similarly-priced printer that yields even more pages, check out the Brother MFC-J4535DW.
The HP 9018e has outstanding scanning features. The automatic document feeder automatically processes double-sided sheets, albeit only in two passes, meaning you need to flip the pages manually when prompted. Its OCR (optical character recognition) feature lets you save scanned documents as PDF files so you can easily search for keywords. It makes mistakes occasionally, but mostly when special characters are in the text. Unfortunately, the flatbed's lid hinges don't extend, making it hard to close the lid over thicker items like textbooks.
This printer's cost-per-print is remarkably low. Thanks to their high page yield, you won't have to replace the ink cartridges often, so printing costs remain low over time. This printer comes with a six-month subscription to HP's ink subscription service, which automatically mails new cartridges to you whenever the printer is low on ink. However, subscribing to the service will prevent you from using third-party cartridges, even if you cancel your subscription.
The printing speed is great. It prints color pages very quickly, so it can easily get color-coded graphs and reports out in no time. It also takes a very short time to print photos. It has a single input tray that holds 250 pages, but its output tray can only hold 60 sheets at a time, so you'll need to clear it if you have a very large print job. If you want a similar printer with a larger tray capacity, check out the HP OfficeJet Pro 9025e. It has a second input tray that also holds 250 sheets, while its output tray holds up to 100 sheets.
The HP OfficeJet Pro 9018e has a mediocre color gamut. Bright greens look darker than they ought to, while blacks have a reddish tint. Additionally, very light color tints come out looking almost completely white. There's a lot of grain in gradients between colors that can be noticeable in some photos.
The HP Smart mobile app is superb. You can print photos and documents, scan the flatbed remotely or scan using your phone camera, send mobile faxes, and manage your HP Instant Ink subscription. You can't print Microsoft Office files, text files, and webpages directly from the app on Android devices, so you'll have to print them from whichever app you use to view those files.
Although this printer is fully compatible with all operating systems, you may need to install the app to get full functionality, depending on the OS. The HP Smart app isn't necessary on Windows, but it makes it easier to access some functions. On Chrome OS, you need to add the printer manually using its IP address if you aren't using the HP Smart app, and even then, you'd only be able to print. The HP Smart app (from the Google Play Store) allows you to set up the printer easily and use its features. You can print and scan without installing any apps or drivers on Macs.
