The HP OfficeJet Pro 9015e is a great printer for small businesses or home offices. It's a replacement to the HP OfficeJet Pro 9015 and comes with HP+, which includes a two-year warranty and a six-month subscription to HP's Instant Ink service. It has a high page yield, allowing you to print many pages before needing to replace the cartridges, and the cost of printing remains low over time because of that. It has both a sheetfed scanner that supports duplex scanning, so you don't have to manually flip each side of a long document, and a flatbed scanner. The printer has good color accuracy if you want to add a splash of color to your documents, but the photo printing quality is just decent as photos look grainy.

Test Results
The build quality is great, as it feels well-built with a solid plastic body. The ink cartridges are held in a moveable cartridge bay that feels a bit sluggish to move, but the lid to the bay feels well-made. Paper jams are easily accessible by moving the cartridge bay. Sadly, the printer needs to be on to replace the ink cartridges.
The HP OfficeJet Pro 9015e is on the bulky side, but should still fit on most home desks.
The HP 9015e has a great display screen. It has a responsive touch display, the menu is easy to navigate, and there's audible feedback. There are also virtual navigation buttons on the bottom when the screen is on. You can tilt the screen to make it easier to see when standing as well.

The HP 9015e has a great cartridge system. Whether you're printing in black and white or color, it prints a great number of pages before running out of ink. It yields fewer black pages than the HP OfficeJet Pro 9015, but more color pages. There are also high-yield cartridges you can purchase.
The HP 9015e has incredible scanning features. It has a high-resolution flatbed and an automatic document feeder that supports duplex scanning, meaning you don't have to manually flip double-sided documents.
The HP 9015e's cost-per-print is incredibly low. With its high page yield, you won't have to replace the cartridges often, and the overall cost of printing remains low over time. This printer comes with a six-month subscription to HP's Instant Ink service, which automatically mails new cartridges when you run out.
Keep in mind that even if you only print in black, most inkjet printers continue using the color cartridge for servicing tasks, so you may still need to replace it eventually.
The HP 9015e's printing speed is great. It prints color pages fast compared to other printers, and it takes a very short time to print a photo. The input tray holds 250 sheets, but there's an HP OfficeJet Pro 9025e variant with a secondary tray that holds 250 more.
The HP 9015e's color accuracy is good. It should be fine enough for adding a splash of color to work or school documents, but may not be good enough for those requiring perfect color accuracy.
The photo printing quality is decent, but it's not as good as the HP OfficeJet Pro 9015. The colors look fairly vibrant, but the images look grainy, causing details to be lost in the shadows. There's no dedicated photo tray, but you can print on 4"x6" paper by removing the standard paper and adjusting the slider in the input tray to the photo size.
These results are based on the actual physical photo, not the scanned image provided for reference above, which may not be representative of the printer's photo print quality.
The HP 9015e supports most common paper formats up to legal size. There's a slider in the input tray to adjust to the paper's size.
The HP 9015e has outstanding connectivity options. You can connect to it either wirelessly via Wi-Fi or wired with an Ethernet cable. It supports both Apple AirPrint and Mopria Print Service so you can print directly from your phone. There's a USB port so you can print files directly off a USB thumb drive. It supports Bluetooth, but it only works during the initial setup and doesn't work after.
The HP Smart app has decent features. You can order new cartridges, scan directly from your phone, and print PDF and JPEG files, but you can't print Microsoft Office, TXT, and HTML files from the app.

However, the M234sdwe yields more black pages and has a slightly lower cost-per-print, so it may be a better choice if you only need to print monochrome documents and don't want to replace the cartridge as often.
