HP ENVY Pro 6455 / 6055 Color Ink Jet Printer & Scanner Review

[@pamelanurse2024]

So helpful! I bought mine two months ago and have regretted it ever since. I'm 65 years old and not tech savvy so I miss the push button panel of my old Epson. You are so right. The color prints are horrible. I would return it if I could to get something that's better suited for older people like me. I bought it at Best Buy and it's outside the return window unfortunately. but I never really understood how it worked until today so thank you. I won't throw it in the trash yet. 😉

[@Karinalarasart]

You can sell it on Mercari

[@garettsuperloser804]

"Who's Mercari?" (in my best lil ol lady voice)

[@shawnpa]

I agree. This is needlessly complicated. Just push a button is five minutes and a lot of brain usage saved. HP just wants a revenue stream.

[@MsFoof]

Hmm. Well, it requires relearning, nothing to do with age! It looks good. Very quiet. Print is good. But SLOW.

[@ariemulchand]

True.

Your videos are INCREDIBLY helpful and thorough! They give me a better idea of what it will be like to actually use the thing than other videos or reviews I've seen & you mention things that are overlooked elsewhere

[@RonaldWolchesky]

It their dame product and you should not have to waste your time trying to fix something that should never been broken in the first place

[@rollieravert8954]

i didn't learn until my printer was set up that it is controlled with your phone. Had I known this I would have never bought it.

[@ap2760]

I have this printer and decided to start making warning reviews, every time I have to restart it or fix a paper jam, (which is every time I use it) It's never just worked without fussing with it. I have never hated a product so much in my life.

You are a rare gem. Your feedback is spot on for answering all my questions & concerns, and provided knowledge for their instant ink I would never known to be concerned with. I have sent two emails making inquiries and still have not receive a response. This is why I love my premium @KZbin subscription. You need to contract with HP for providing feedback seriously. Outstanding, Remarkable, and absolutely loved your direct approach to provide superb feedback.

Thanks, you’re one of the bests analysts and easy to understand reviews videos, god bless you

[@susanneedle3330]

Don't set it up according to the directions. Find the software online and install it like a normal printer after that it works really well. (I installed it like they suggested and then had to uninstall it all because I couldn't do anything with the printer from my computer - useless for a teacher.)

[@voidisyinyangvoidisyinyang885]

That's what I'm going to do - just bought a USB cable.

[@chaznsc]

I will be buying this printer, WELL DONE REVIEW. I happen to love the HP instant ink program. Yes, you can refill them yourself, but if one ever vomits on you, your printer is toast. The HP program is very very reasonable.

[@josephcoscarelly9130]

Just bought this. Very useful video thanks for posting.

[@sherrydakin834]

Thanks a million. Very helpful and clear information!

[@dstorm7752]

The assumption that everybody is obsessed with a cell phone and wants to set up a printer using one is absurd. For a printer, you should also have a simple printer cable and some controls on the printer to operate it.

[@personalitymanager1580]

The more important info I needed was price of ink and how many copies you can make on blk and white.

[@ZazaIndulger]

How do you change photo print quality and speed

[@prosperity.]

Interesting, HSN Showed beautiful Photo Prints. Which was a high selling point

[@GiftHorse123]

Trying to set up the 6055 with a Chromebook is a royal pain in the ass. You download the HP Smart app on your phone and when you go to the menu to find the HP 6000 series, you get a big surprise. IT'S NOT THERE. The 6200 series is there. Whatever happened to plug and play? If I can't get this printer to print on the Chromebook, both are going back to Best Buy and they can sell them as open box items. I'm done with this combo. I'll haul my 24" monitor, my desktop and my bulky HP all in one printer out of storage. At least I know they like each other. UPDATE: Bought an Epson Workforce 3820 and it works with the Chromebook without having to go thru WiFi. Maybe those eggheads at HP need to stop screwing around with features that have worked for decades. I really loved the pretty colored lights and the touch pad that you could see what function you were selecting.

[@LAP1050]

Nice. So you cannot setup the printer with your Windows 10 PC?

[@fisherman7633]

Thanks for sharing. Very comprehensive and informative. Nice that Lon is providing a Video Index. The channel deserves more subscribers in my opinion. God Bless. I forgot to ask. How do you make the UI of your phone to appear on the screen? Thanks again.

[@cuteswan]

“Alexa, Print out the nuclear launch codes.” 15:21 It knows you well enough to make sure you get Dilbert, but also no surprise it thinks you'd like Phoebe and Her Unicorn (aka Heavenly Nostrils). Thanks for another cool review. I rarely print anything once or twice a month, so not paying for the cleaning ink would be a nice change. Then again, they may not be happy if I don't print enough to make it worth their while. (Some company, later bought out by Xerox, had a resin printer with a program like that.)

[@bobbiethomas5137]

I have a question, when I print I noticed that the arm will not extend, so all my papers ended up on the floor. What am I missing? ,

[@thomasalias8492]

If you cancel the subscription, even if your printer is off line, it'll still stop working with the ink cartridge?

[@Onew92]

I think so cause the connection between this printer and your phone is likely to be an unwanted “trojan horse” since most of the controlling need to be done through it.

[@hardyb0074]

The ink cartridge won't work if u cancel subscription and if ur printer is offline then u obviously can't print wirelessly

[@barbarapowers5269]

Very informational but one incorrect piece of info: If you quit the Instant Ink Plan, you can NOT use your left over cartridges until you join it again. Once you are off the plan, you have to use cartridges you buy directly from a retail store. Read this carefully because it indicates it's cheaper to stay on the plan even if you don't print a high volume.

[@Chaz_Mahoney]

I have an hp envy with a screen which I like because I scan documents to a flash drive and make copies from time to time. Not sure if I would want to have to use my cellphone to set up the printer to do that

[@NopWorks]

This is one very nice looking printer! Nicest I've ever seen even. I have a number of questions though: Does it require setup only via the mobile app, or can I set up the printer with its desktop software like I used to? Are there absolutely no physical buttons and indicators and absolutely everything have to be done or checked via the mobile app? I imagine having to pull out my phone every time my printer screams an error would be slow and cumbersome. But still, this wouldn't suit my needs. This but with ink tank and the drawer paper storage switched for something else like upright feeding tray would make this buyable for me.

I wouldn't print a lot of photos on any new printer I would buy but which new HP printer model on the market today prints better photos than this model in the video I've watched tonight? What's the document feeder option for? I probably could do without one since I wouldn't feed 20 pages at once to be copied or scanned.

Don't understand why I would have to load an app on a phone to set a printer up that's primary use is with a computer! Why should I need another device to do the work of one I've already got? If I want the app at some point, I would download it. I hope this isn't a trend of printer manufacturers wanting me to subscribe to purchase ink. What a complete disaster. None of my ink printers have ever given me an accurate read of remaining ink. They always urge me to buy more now when I have plenty remaining. How will a printer be able to accurately gauge my true usage anyhow? If I find myself with an excess of ink and unsubscribe I'll be stuck with ink I can't use. Couple all this with the one cartridge for all colors and I will waste gallons of ink and money. Oh, I can print the comics. That's a unique way to get me to spend more money on ink. Buyer beware!
