Connectivity options include Wi-Fi, USB, and Ethernet, and it can also print directly off a USB flash drive. It's compatible with the HP Smart app, which lets you perform tasks like printing and scanning and adds additional functionality, like mobile fax.

This model is part of the HP OfficeJet Pro 9130e series of all-in-one printers, which includes many variants. These regional variants have identical performance and features. See the Differences Between Variants section below for more details.

Our Verdict

0.0
Home 

The HP OfficeJet Pro 9135e is decent for home use. This all-in-one model produces sharp documents, prints quickly at up to 23 black and 15 color pages per minute, and supports automatic double-sided printing. Additionally, it is cost-effective to maintain over time, thanks to its high page yield and affordable cartridges. Unfortunately, photo printing isn't its strongest suit, as its low print resolution and limited color range result in the loss of fine details and overly dark pictures. However, thanks to its numerous connectivity options, it's easy for the entire household to access.

Pros
  • Produces sharp documents.
  • High page yield; low cost-per-print.
  • Extendable scanner lid hinges to accommodate thicker items like textbooks.
  • Numerous connectivity options.
Cons
  • Ink subscription offer blocks use of third-party cartridges.
  • Low print resolution reduces fine details in photos.

Small Office 

The HP OfficeJet Pro 9135e is a great small office printer. It produces sharp documents, prints quickly, and supports automatic duplex printing. It also yields a large number of prints, which helps reduce maintenance frequency and cost. There are many connectivity options, including Ethernet, and its design allows easy access to the sheet rollers in case of paper jams. The scanner is feature-rich, sporting an automatic feeder and automatic single-pass duplex scanning capability, though it's a little slow and causes scans to come out crooked.

Pros
  • Produces sharp documents.
  • High page yield; low cost-per-print.
  • ADF-equipped scanner with single-pass duplex scanning.
  • Fast printing speeds.
  • Numerous connectivity options.
Cons
  • Ink subscription offer blocks use of third-party cartridges.
  • ADF is slow and causes tilted scans.

Set-And-Forget 

The HP OfficeJet Pro 9135e is a reasonable option for this use case. It’s an inkjet printer, so it can clog if left unused, which isn't ideal if you only print sporadically. Thankfully, the printheads are user-replaceable, providing a solid backup in case of a stubborn clog that can't be resolved by regular maintenance tasks. The cartridges also deliver impressive page yields. Print speeds are fast once the printer reaches a solid 23 black and white pages per minute. The OfficeJet Pro 9135 also offers a wide range of connectivity options, allowing you to print from almost any device.

Pros
  • High page yield; low cost-per-print.
  • Fast printing speeds.
  • User replaceable printheads.

Cons
  • ADF is slow and causes tilted scans.
  • Can clog if it's left unused.

Photo 

The HP OfficeJet Pro 9135e is decent for photo printing. It yields a large number of color prints, and replacement ink is relatively inexpensive, so you don't have to worry about high ownership costs, even if you print frequently. However, its print quality isn't very good, as its low print resolution and limited color cause significant loss of fine details. Printed pictures also look overly dark and grainy.

Pros
  • High page yield; low cost-per-print.
  • Supports borderless printing.
Cons
  • Ink subscription offer blocks use of third-party cartridges.
  • Low print resolution reduces fine details in photos.
  • Color accuracy not suitable for professional work.

0.0
Page Yield 

The HP OfficeJet Pro 9135e delivers excellent page yields. You can print over 1,400 black-and-white pages and roughly half as many color pages before you need to replace the cartridges.

Pros
  • High page yield; low cost-per-print.
Cons
None
0.0
Printing Speed 

The HP OfficeJet Pro 9135e prints quickly. It can push 23 black and 15 pages per minute and gets the first page out in a respectable 12 seconds. Photo printing is decent, though nothing special; a 4" x 6" takes around 56 seconds to print.

Pros
  • Fast printing speeds.
Cons
None
0.0
Document Quality 

The HP OfficeJet Pro 9135e produces excellent black-and-white documents. Text is sharp, and fine elements, like lines on a graph, are clear. There's some visible banding, although printing in high-quality mode remedies this issue. Just know this comes at the cost of using more ink.

Pros
  • Produces sharp documents.
Cons
None
0.0
Scanning 

The HP OfficeJet Pro 9135e has a feature-rich scanner. The ADF can perform single-pass duplex scanning, although it's on the slower side and tends to produce crooked scans. The flatbed hinge is slightly adjustable to accommodate thicker items like textbooks or magazines. Scan quality is decent, but the image processing is too aggressive in removing artifacts and paper grain. It also removes background and fine elements like watermarks or lines on a graph.

Pros
  • ADF-equipped scanner with single-pass duplex scanning.
  • Extendable scanner lid hinges to accommodate thicker items like textbooks.
Cons
  • ADF is slow and causes tilted scans.

    Popular Printer Comparisons

    The HP OfficeJet Pro 9135e is a great all-in-one inkjet printer that's well-suited for office use. It produces high-quality documents, prints quickly, and yields a large number of prints. However, its print resolution is lower than most printers in its class, resulting in less detailed photos, and its ADF causes tilted scans. Also, its included ink subscription trial can be a hassle, as subscribing to the service forces the printer to maintain a constant internet connection to function and prevents you from using third-party cartridges in the future, even if you cancel your subscription.

    HP OfficeJet Pro 8135e

    Track

    The HP OfficeJet Pro 9135e is better than the HP OfficeJet Pro 8135e for most uses. The 9135e has a larger display, extendable scanner lid hinges, and automatic single-pass duplex scanning. It also has better print quality and faster printing speeds. Its cartridges are more expensive; however, they yield a larger number of prints, so you won't have to replace them as often as on the 8135e, resulting in lower ownership costs.

    HP OfficeJet Pro 9125e

    Track

    The HP OfficeJet Pro 9125e and the HP OfficeJet Pro 9135e have near-identical print quality and yield. They only differ in features. The 9135e is a higher-end device with single-pass duplex scanning (instead of dual-pass), an additional 250-sheet input tray, and faster printing speeds.

    HP OfficeJet Pro 9025e

    Track

    The HP OfficeJet Pro 9135e and the HP OfficeJet Pro 9025e have nearly identical features; the only differences are that the 9135e has a larger display and extendable scanner lid hinges. Performance-wise, the 9025e produces higher-quality documents and photos, and it doesn't cost as much to maintain over time because the cartridges are cheaper. However, the 9135e has faster printing speeds and slightly higher page yields.

    HP Smart Tank 7602

    Track

    The HP Smart Tank 7602 and HP OfficeJet Pro 9135e printers perform similarly despite targeting different use cases. Both printers produce great black and color prints and high-quality scans; however, only the 9135e offers duplex scanning. The 7602 offers vastly superior cost-per-print with its ink tank system, printing almost six times the number of black pages and more than eight times the number of color pages before needing a refill. By contrast, the HP OfficeJet  9135e has a faster printing speed for black and color prints. Neither printer produces great photos, as they are overly warm and grainy.
