Our Verdict

HP DeskJet 2755e [2723e, 2742e, 2752e]​

HP DeskJet 2855e

The HP DeskJet 2855e is a newer version of the HP DeskJet 2755e. These two printers are nearly identical; the newer 2855e/2852e is slightly faster to print black-only documents, but only barely. If you care about optical character recognition (OCR), the newer 2855e/2852e no longer supports this feature in HP's software, so you'll need a third-party app.
