HP DeskJet Plus 4155 Printer Review

The HP DeskJet Plus 4155 has poor build quality. Even though the plastic body feels solid, its overall design isn't good. It doesn't have a paper tray, but instead has a rear feeder that holds up to 60 pages, which feels flimsy to pull out and put back in. You need to make sure the output tray is pulled out all the way when printing, otherwise your paper may get crumbled. You can only access paper jams from the print head compartment, which can be somewhat tight for larger hands. Also, the scan lid doesn't raise high enough to place thicker items like books. Lastly, the power cable is removable in case it gets damaged and you have to replace it.

The HP DeskJet 4155 isn't as compact as the HP DeskJet 3755, but it's still a fairly small printer and won't take up too much space.

This printer has a bad display screen. It's an LCD with a few icons and symbols on it, but it's easy to see whether you're standing or sitting down in front of it. There are seven physical buttons on the printer to control different actions, such as copy, resume, and cancel, to name a few.

• User manual
• Power cable
• 1x HP 67 Black ink cartridge
• 1x HP 67 Tri-Color ink cartridge

Update 02/08/21: We had incorrectly listed the color cartridge as the HP 65 Tri-Color, when it really uses the HP 67 Tri-Color. We updated the review to correct this error.

Terrible cartridge system. The HP DeskJet Plus 4155 uses the same HP 67 cartridges as the HP ENVY 6055 and has a fairly similar page yield. Whether you're printing in black and white or in color, the cartridges don't last long, and you have to replace them quickly. There are high-yield cartridges you can buy if you want a higher page yield.

The printer accepts third-party cartridges, but using them may void the warranty.

The HP 4155 has good scanning features. It has a sheetfed scanner, and unlike the HP DeskJet 3755, it also has a flatbed scanner. Sadly, the sheetfed scanner doesn't support duplex scanning, so you need to flip double-sided documents manually. The automatic document feeder holds up to 35 pages.

The HP DeskJet Plus 4155 all-in-one printer has a disappointing cost-per-print. The cartridges are cheap, but because of the printer's low page yield, you'll often need to buy new cartridges if you print regularly. If you sign up for HP's Instant Ink subscription, you receive new cartridges when you run out of ink.

Keep in mind that even if you print only 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 4155 has a very slow printing speed. Whether you're printing color or black and white documents, it takes a while to print each page. It prints photos faster than the HP DeskJet 3755, but it's still not fast. Unfortunately, it doesn't print double-sided pages. The output tray holds up to 25 pages.

The HP DeskJet 4155 has excellent color accuracy, and it's better than the HP ENVY Photo 6255. It's good enough for printing presentations or projects, but may not be good for work that requires perfect color accuracy.

The HP DeskJet 4155 has okay photo printing quality. There's banding and color in the grayscale and the faces look gray. The overall picture has a flat tone.

This printer has a rear input feeder that supports most common paper sizes up to legal size.

The HP DeskJet 4155 has the same connectivity options as the HP DeskJet 3755. You can't print from an external storage device like a USB or SD card. It doesn't support Bluetooth, but you can still connect to it wirelessly through Wi-Fi. You can connect it directly to your computer through a USB connection.

This printer is compatible with the HP Smart app, which offers decent features. You can scan with your phone's camera or print PDF and photo files directly from the app. You can also buy new ink cartridges and perform maintenance tasks on the printer.
