HP DeskJet 2755 Printer Review

The HP DeskJet 2755 all-in-one printer has a disappointing build quality. The entire body is made of plastic, which feels solid and sturdy. The power cord is removable, which is great in case it ends up getting damaged. That said, the cable sticks out of the middle of the back of the printer, instead of the more common backside corner. Also, the scanner's hinges can't extend to accommodate larger books or manuals. Because of this printer's compact size, those with large hands might struggle to access paper jams or the print heads. Also, it lacks photo and paper trays, and its flimsy rear page feeder can only hold 60 pages at a time. Finally, the printer needs to be on to access the ink cartridges.

The HP DeskJet 2755 is a fairly compact printer that doesn't take up much space on a desk or shelf.

The HP DeskJet 2755 all-in-one printer has a poor display screen. It's a very small LCD screen with seven physical buttons next to it. There are no tilt or swivel functions, which means viewing angles are bad when you're seated.

The HP DeskJet 2755 has an awful cartridge system. It has only two cartridges: one black, and one tri-color. They also have a very low yield, meaning you'll have to replace them often. It does accept third-party cartridges, but using them may void the warranty.

The HP DeskJet 2755 all-in-one printer's scanning features are passable. It has a flatbed that can scan at a high resolution, which is great for copying old photos, but the lid's hinges don't extend to allow you to scan thicker items like books or manuals. Also, it lacks a sheetfed scanner, meaning you'll have to load each page individually.

The HP DeskJet 2755's cost-per-print is disappointing. While the ink cartridges are affordable, they need replacing often, which will increase costs over time. You can subscribe to optional HP Instant Ink, which automatically sends you new ink when you run out.

Keep in mind that even if you only print in black, most inkjet printers continue using the color cartridges for servicing tasks, so you'll likely still need to replace them eventually.

The HP DeskJet 2755 has poor printing speed. It's very slow regardless if you're printing black or in color, and it takes over a minute to print a photo. The output paper tray can only hold 25 sheets of plain paper, while the input tray can only hold 60, meaning you'll be refilling it often.

The HP DeskJet 2755 all-in-one printer's color accuracy is excellent for most casual printing, but there are still some noticeable differences, so it may not be accurate enough for professional environments.

The HP DeskJet 2755 has passable photo printing quality. There's a lot of banding and color in the grayscale, and there's some graininess.

This printer has one input tray that supports most paper sizes. That said, it can't print 2" x 3" photos.

This printer has decent connectivity options. You can connect to it via Wi-Fi or USB. Unfortunately, there's no Bluetooth support, and you can't use an Ethernet cable. Also, it doesn't have external storage support, meaning you can't print from an SD card or USB flash drive.

The HP 2755 is compatible with the HP Smart App. You can scan with your phone's camera or print PDFs and photos directly from your mobile device. You can also buy new ink cartridges and perform maintenance tasks from the app.
