The HP ENVY 6155e is an all-in-one inkjet printer. It uses a basic two-cartridge ink system that's compatible with HP 68 Black and HP 68 Tri-Color cartridges, as well as the HP 68 EvoMore Black high-yield cartridge; there's no high-yield tri-color option available. It has a simple flatbed scanner. Connectivity options include USB, Wi-Fi, and Wi-Fi Direct, as well as support for Apple AirPrint and Mopria Print Service. It's compatible with the HP Smart app, which lets you perform various tasks and adds more functionality, like mobile fax and optical character recognition.
This printer is part of the HP ENVY 6100e series of all-in-one printers. There are many variants; they all offer the same functionality and performance, but the model names differ according to the region, retailer, and color. See the Differences Between Variants section for more information.
Our Verdict
The HP ENVY 6155e is okay as a home printer. It prints acceptable documents even if they look faint. Printed photos also look detailed, although the printer tends to over-brighten them, resulting in vivid, albeit inaccurate, images. Nevertheless, the photo quality is fine for casual, at-home use. It's also quite small and easy to store. The major issue with this printer is its high cost-per-print; its low page yields mean you'll need to replace the ink cartridges often if you print frequently. Otherwise, the flatbed scanner produces detailed scans, and its hinges are adjustable, making it easier to scan thicker items like textbooks. As for connectivity, there's a decent range of wired and wireless options, so this printer is easily accessible from various devices.

The HP ENVY 6155e is middling for small office use. Though it produces sharp enough documents, the print speed is slow, and the ink cartridges have very low page yields. This results in long wait times, very high recurring costs, and excessive maintenance requirements for an office with high-volume printing needs. The 100-sheet input tray capacity doesn't help in this regard, as you'll need to add more sheets regularly if you print a lot. Finally, the basic flatbed scanner produces excellent-quality scans but lacks features like an ADF that are useful for many offices.

The HP ENVY 6155e is a bad choice as a printer that you would simply set and expect to work whenever you need it. It's an inkjet printer, which means it can clog. However, while its cartridges are on the smaller size when it comes to capacity, they include the printheads, which give you a simple and reliable way to solve the more severe clogging situations. Otherwise, this printer is very slow, only printing up to eight document pages per minute, and it has very low page yields, resulting in high recurring costs and maintenance requirements if you print a lot. Thankfully, there's a high-yield cartridge that'll last longer.
Decent connectivity options.
Feature-rich mobile app.
Cartridges with integrated printheads make it easy to fix severe clogs.
High maintenance requirements if you print a lot.
Slow print speeds.
Low page yields.
Can clog if it's left unused.
The HP ENVY 6155e is satisfactory for photo printing. It produces detailed photos and excels at resolving small details. While it can reproduce a fairly wide range of bright hues, darker shades don't fare as well, resulting in a vivid, over-brightened image and the loss of some detail from color contrast. Similarly, it has poor color accuracy. The photo print quality is fine for casual or at-home use, but won't cut it for professional or enthusiast environments. Finally, ink yields are very low, resulting in high recurring costs; you'll have to replace the cartridges often if you print a lot.
Produces detailed photos.
Resolves small details well.
Supports a wide range of photo paper sizes.
Very high cost-per-print.
Poor color accuracy.
The HP ENVY 6155e has awful page yields. Cartridges will only last you for a bit more than 100 black and white pages, and even fewer color ones. High-yield cartridges are available, which somewhat alleviates this issue; however, this printer is clearly not the best choice for printing in large quantities.
Low page yields.
The HP ENVY 6155e is slow. It only prints up to eight black-and-white or four color document pages per minute, and it takes well over a minute to print a single 4" x 6" photo. Thankfully, it supports automatic duplex printing, so you don't have to flip the pages manually when printing double-sided.
Slow print speeds.
The document print quality on the HP ENVY 6155e is not bad. It produces sharp enough documents with minimal artifacts. However, the overall render is quite faint and grainy, which diminishes the clarity.
Prints high-quality documents.
The HP ENVY 6155e's scanner produces excellent scans that are clear, detailed, and with neutral colors. That said, it's a basic flatbed scanner, so it lacks features like an ADF, duplex scanning, and so on.

No ADF.

Popular Printer Comparisons
The HP ENVY 6155e is an adequate all-in-one inkjet printer. Though its document print quality and scan quality are excellent, sub-par page yields diminish the printer's appeal. This results in high recurring costs and excessive maintenance requirements if you print frequently or in high volume. It's also very slow at printing, and its simple flatbed scanner isn't particularly feature-rich. Many printers from brands like Canon produce more detailed and color-accurate photos at this price point.

The HP ENVY 6155e and Canon PIXMA MG3620 are both budget all-in-one inkjet printers. While the two printers trade blows in terms of performance, the Canon offers much better value overall. This is because it yields significantly more color pages, cutting down on recurring costs and maintenance requirements if you print a lot. Otherwise, it's a toss-up. Photos look overly bright from the HP but overly dark from the Canon; they are more color-accurate on the latter, though. Similarly, both printers produce sharp and detailed scans, although the Canon's look slightly over-exposed. One feature that the HP offers is a great touchscreen; it makes it easy to use the printer and receive important status updates.
The HP ENVY 6155e is the new iteration of the HP ENVY 6055e. While both are basic all-in-one inkjet printers, the 6155e is much better for every use case. It produces much better quality documents, photos, and scans, and is also better built overall. Both printers suffer from low page yields, though, resulting in high recurring costs if you print a lot.
The HP ENVY 6155e and Brother MFC-J1010DW are both all-in-one inkjet printers, but the Brother is better for almost every use. It produces sharper documents and more detailed scans, yields significantly more pages, and prints faster. The HP produces more detailed photos, but the photos are more color-accurate on the Brother; as neither is appropriate for professional photo printing, the right choice comes down to personal preference for casual use.
The HP ENVY 6155e and HP ENVY 6555e are two very similar all-in-one inkjet printers. The major difference is that the 6555e comes with an ADF-equipped scanner, while the 6155e only has a flatbed scanner. Otherwise, both produce sharp enough documents, detailed photos, and excellent scans. Their major issue is low page yields, which results in high recurring costs and maintenance requirements.
