Our Verdict
The HP DeskJet 3755 is mediocre for family use. It connects via Wi-Fi or USB and supports Apple AirPrint and Mopria Print Service, making it easily accessible to every household member. However, its ink cartridges run out very quickly, resulting in more maintenance and higher running costs over time. It also prints very slowly, so you might have to wait a while if you're sharing the printer with multiple people, and there's no flatbed scanner to scan delicate items.
- Produces very detailed photos.
- Decent color accuracy.
- Feature-rich mobile app.
- Low page yields; high cost-per-print.
- No flatbed scanner.
- Requires a lot of maintenance.
The HP DeskJet 3755 is bad for small or home offices. Its overall print quality isn't bad; it's just extremely slow, as it can only print five black or three color pages per minute. Additionally, its ink cartridges run out quickly, so it requires a lot of maintenance. It has a sheetfed scanner despite its compact size, but you can scan only one page at a time.
- Feels reasonably well-built.
- Very slow printing speed.
- Low page yields; high cost-per-print.
- No flatbed scanner.
- Requires a lot of maintenance.
The HP 3755 printer is inadequate for students. It yields very few prints, so you need to replace the ink cartridges often, making it expensive to maintain over time. It's also very slow at printing documents, which may be annoying if you're in a hurry. On the upside, it's a very compact printer that fits easily into tight spaces, which is great for those living in a dorm room.
- Small and compact design.
- Feature-rich mobile app.
- Very slow printing speed.
- Low page yields; high cost-per-print.
- No flatbed scanner.
- Requires a lot of maintenance.
The HP DeskJet 3755 is inadequate for printing black-and-white documents. It's slow, and the print quality is mediocre. Also, the black ink cartridge runs out quickly, so you'll have to replace it often. While there's a higher-yield cartridge available, it's advertised to yield around 300 pages, which may still not be enough if you're constantly printing off documents.
- Feels reasonably well-built.
- Very slow printing speed.
- Low page yields; high cost-per-print.
- Requires a lot of maintenance.
The HP 3755 is okay for printing photos. Although it has a high print resolution, its limited color range causes the loss of some finer details and makes pictures look overly dark and muted. Its color accuracy is decent, though, so pictures still look relatively natural. Unfortunately, its ink cartridges run out quickly, making it expensive to maintain over time, and it's very slow, as it takes more than a minute and a half to print a single 4" x 6" photo.
- Produces very detailed photos.
- Decent color accuracy.
- Very slow printing speed.
- Low page yields; high cost-per-print.
- Requires a lot of maintenance.

Popular Printer Comparisons
The HP DeskJet 3755/3772 is a basic compact printer with limited features and performance. Compared to other printers we've tested, it yields an extremely low number of black and color pages, and consequently, it's also among the printers with the highest cost-per-print. Additionally, it prints much slower than most, whether you're printing in black-only, in color, or photos.
For more options, check out our recommendations for the best printers for students, the best photo printers, and the best home printers.
The Canon PIXMA MG3620 and the HP DeskJet 3755/3772 are both color inkjet printers. The Canon is better for most uses since it yields more pages at a lower cost-per-print, has a high-resolution flatbed scanner, and prints faster. It also produces better-quality documents and photos. However, the HP is a good choice if you want something very compact that fits into a small room.
The HP DeskJet 3755/3772 and the Canon PIXMA TR4520 are compact, all-in-one printers, but the Canon performs slightly better overall. It has a lower cost-per-print, better color page yields, and a faster print speed. It also has a flatbed scanner with an automatic document feeder. On the other hand, the HP only has a sheetfed scanner on the top; however, the HP has a higher page yield and a lower cost-per-print for black-only documents.
The HP DeskJet 3755/3772 is a bit better than the HP ENVY 5014, even though they both have a really low page yield. The 3755 is a small, compact printer that has a sheetfed scanner. Also, it has better photo printing quality. That said, the 5014 has a flatbed scanner that scans in a higher resolution, which is better if you retouch and rescale photos often.
The HP DeskJet 3755/3772 and the HP OfficeJet 250 are both compact printers with sheetfed scanners, but the OfficeJet 250 performs slightly better for most uses. It has a higher page yield, a lower cost-per-print, and a rechargeable battery. Also, it can print directly from a USB thumb drive. However, the DeskJet 3755 is better for casual photo printing since it produces better-looking pictures and more accurate colors.
