![HP DeskJet 2755e [2723e, 2742e, 2752e]](https://i.rtings.com/assets/products/JT0My9BK/hp-deskjet-2755e-2723e-2742e-2752e/design-medium.jpg?format=auto)
The HP DeskJet 2755e is a budget all-in-one inkjet printer designed for home use. It's part of HP's 2700e all-in-one series and the same printer as the HP DeskJet 2755, except that it comes with a six-month subscription to HP Instant Ink, a service that sends you ink whenever your printer detects that the cartridges are running low. It has Wi-Fi and USB connectivity, supports Apple AirPrint and Mopria Print Service, and is compatible with HP's Smart mobile app. It only has a flatbed scanner with no automatic document feeder or fax functionality and uses a two-cartridge system with a black and tri-color ink cartridge.
There are many variants in HP's DeskJet 2700e all-in-one printer series. All of the variants have the same features and performance as the DeskJet 2755e we tested; 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
The HP 2755e is inadequate for family use. Its ink cartridges yield very few pages, resulting in a lot of maintenance and a high cost-per-print for both black and color prints. It also prints very slowly and can't automatically print double-sided. The quality of printed black documents is only passable as it has trouble reproducing fine details, and printed photos look grainy with inaccurate colors. It has a scanner but lacks an automatic document feeder, and the scan quality is disappointing, so it isn't ideal for digitizing photos. On the upside, it has a decent number of connectivity options, including Wi-Fi and USB, and it supports Apple AirPrint and Mopria Print Service.

- Feature-rich mobile app.
- Poor color accuracy.
- Can't automatically print double-sided.
- Very low page yield.
- High maintenance cost.
- No automatic document feeder.

The HP 2755e is inadequate for students. It's a fairly compact model that fits easily into tight spaces and has a decent number of connectivity options, including Wi-Fi and USB. However, you need to replace the cartridges often because they run out quickly, resulting in high maintenance costs. It also prints slowly, can't automatically print double-sided sheets, and the quality of printed documents isn't good as it has trouble reproducing fine details. The scanner produces low-quality scans, and its lid hinges can't extend for thick items, making it hard to scan textbooks.

The HP DeskJet 2755e is a poor option for black-and-white printing. It has a low black page yield, resulting in a very high cost-per-print, and there's no automatic document feeder to process multi-page scans. Also, it's very slow at printing and can't automatically print double-sided documents, so you need to manually flip over each page before the other side can print.

Popular Printer Comparisons
The HP 2755e printer is a budget model with the same features and performance as the HP DeskJet 2755. It has a very low page yield compared to most printers in its price range, and it also produces lower-quality photos due to its narrow color range and poor color accuracy.
For other options, see our recommendations for the best inkjet printers, the best all-in-one printers, and the best home printers.
The Canon PIXMA MG3620 is much better than the HP DeskJet 2755e for most uses. The Canon has a higher page yield, a much lower cost-per-print, and a faster printing speed. It can also print borderless photos and automatically print double-sided sheets, while the HP requires you to flip over pages manually. The Canon prints higher-quality documents and photos, and its scanner picks up significantly more fine details.
The HP DeskJet 2755e and the HP DeskJet 4155e are both all-in-one inkjet printers with nearly identical features and performance. The only difference is that the 4155e has an automatic document feeder to process multi-page documents faster.
The HP ENVY 6055e and the HP DeskJet 2755e are all-in-one inkjet printers that perform very similarly, The ENVY 6055e is a little better in terms of document printing quality and speed, but only marginally. Feature-wise, the DeskJet 2755e supports automatic duplex printing and borderless printing, which the 2755e lacks. The 2755e has a display, but it's very small and doesn't significantly improve the user experience.
The Epson Expression Home XP-4100 is much better than the HP DeskJet 2755e for most uses because it produces higher-quality documents and photos, prints faster, and its ink cartridges yield more pages, resulting in a lower cost-per-print. However, the Epson requires more maintenance as its printheads clog very quickly, even if you print regularly.
