Great Review, informative, precise and to the point. I have been going back and forth for some time now researching for a simple printer that's not going to cost me a fortune with the Ink Replacement. You sold me on this one. Thank you ReviewLamp.
Fantastically concise and specific review... Great touch with the tape measure.! Appreciate your insights and will be purchasing one thru your link. Many thanks.
Just bought this after immense research between one other printer (HP DeskJet 2636) which is currently on sale at my nearest Walmart. Not only did I find the Envy 5055 to be a superior product by features alone-but the price was just too good to pass up. Thanks for helping me, a Freshman in college make an informed purchase. : )
I used it on my android no problem. Can send files from your phone through email, wifi direct, and also if the printer is connected through the same wifi connection as your phone. If you turn on wifi on your phone, it connects to the printer wifi output signal, but it's no internet connection. It just connects by wifi and sends the prints.
ReviewLamp - totally amazing review - mine is on the way thought I would get ahead of the game (you are so easy to understand & cover the item remarkable well - I've subscribed to your video (both 2 I watch) pretty impressed A+
@@busog97641 argos and curry both run out of this type of printers, no luck at all since everyone are home office, where did you get urs from? and why are you not pleased with it? Thanks!
EXCELLENT JOB. I own this printer and while the setup directions were not great, the printer is easy and sleek, it’s on my kitchen counter no problems.
It's 2021, Envy 5055 is about 5 years old and I cannot figure out how to connect a phone wire to the printer. There is no outlet (on the printer) for a phone connection to enable the fax components of this all-in-one. Please respond with helpful info.
Hi, I have had my printer over a year and had great success until I had a computer hack and had to reset everything. I have replaced ink several times and though I still have ink in the cartridges it will not print in colour. In fact the last attempt to print a photo came out blank! I have reset it to factory and still have trouble.
I purchased this not too long ago because of your nice review. Thank you. One question. I tried to print out some pictures with glossy photo paper by epson i had lying around. Some of them came out with these subtle horizontal lines in the photo. It just didn't look that good close up. Is it because I used the wrong paper? If so, what kind of photo paper do I need for this for perfect pictures? Thank you again
Thank you for the review. I have this printer. It works ok however yesterday I tried to print a document that was done in Nupital script but it came out looking barely readable. Works ok if you use a normal font like ariel. Do you know what the problem might be?
You can leave the printer on all the time. When not being used, it goes into sleep mode which consumes very little power. As soon as you print to it, it wakes itself from sleep and prints your file.
Thanks for your video! It got right to the point and was extremely helpful. I am considering buying the HP ENVY 5052 Wireless All-in-One Printer. Do you have any experience with that model?
How on earth do you load legal sized paper to the tray?????? I changed the size in the settings but I cannot figure out how to load the tray! I have looked till I am blue in the face but I cannot find how to do it!!!!
I have only owned HP printers for 30+ years. Never had a problem with set up...I have been reading reviews for over a week now and there seems to be some issue with that. I am an 80 year old with extended electronic use, but I do have my limitations. What is your experience with setting up, please? Thank you. I would like to make my purchase within the next 24 hours.
Thanks for the review, very helpful. However, I need to know if this printer has to be hooked to a computer in order to work? I want to use it with my IPad and IPhone.
If you are lucky enough to actually get it to work wirelessly. It's pretty hard especially to get your network to see it. After about 50 tries and installing and uninstalling finally by some miracle it randomly saw my printer on the network it's a shot it the dark to get it to work.
Thank you for the answer! I just received another answer from BestBuy; it says "The scanning quality is up to 1200 x 1200 dpi." Could you share with us your knowledge on this? This seems to be high resolution. Does high resolution take more time to scan?
Hi. Thanks for the reply. it was easy to send my question to Bestbuy, so I did. I was going to buy one from the ReviewLamp's link to support this channel. When I called HP to ask another question, I was talked into buying from them because they gave me better offer. After I ordered it I remembered that I wanted to buy from Amazon... Oh well. too late. Good luck with Bestbuy's printer!
Sorry but I am not anything savvy... Are you saying that if I connect usp plug from my laptop to my printer it will work like my old printer and not be on wifi???? I am hoping so. Thank you, Ann
My pictures are not printing as good as everyone else. I brought the printer back in March, but just used it tonight. Can you offer any help to why? Thanks
Very serious question! Will this printer work well with my note8? And will I be able to scan photos and safe them on my phone? And if so how would I do so? Thinking about getting this printer just to get old photos scanned into digital format for easier storage and reprinting
The model is still being sold but maybe out of stock, because of the surge of demand due to coronavirus. The link to this printer is right below the video
Thinking of getting this for my mom for mother's day as she is looking for something to use with her iPad. It's running iOS 10, so she should be able to utilize the airprint feature- correct? Or would she just download the hp app you mentioned in the set up video? I have very little apple knowledge, but she does not have a computer and I want to make sure she is able to use this printer with no issues given she only has the iPad!
I used it on my android no problem. Can send files from your phone through email, wifi direct, and also if the printer is connected through the same wifi connection as your phone. If you turn on wifi on your phone, it connects to the printer wifi output signal, but it's no internet connection. It just connects by wifi and sends the prints.
I purchase one a year ago & it was simple and easy to print. But as of yesterday paper kept getting jammed I tried opening and removing the deplexer cover now it won’t go back in. Can anyone help me.
Thank you for your review. However, though you mentioned it is an all-in-one printer, I wish you had covered the other features, i.e. does this printer fax and quality of the scanned and copied copies.
I wish I had seen your setup video before I tried following HP instructions..I get paper jam message every time I turn printer on.The ink cartridge carriage is jammed against the right side. I did not have paper in it.. I found site that set to reset to factory settings press RESUME when you turn it on.. Can you tell me where this word should be appearing..
I mistakenly put wrong cartridges into my HP ENVY 5055, and my Printer screen said " Indicated cartridges are not communicating correctly with the printer" . I checked the box, and realized that I had been given the wrong cartridges, so I made sure I got the correct cartridges, replaced the wrong cartridges, the computer printed on page perfectly, and then reverted to the Printer screen message that "Indicated cartridges are not communicating correctly with the printer". How can I correct this problem?
It is likely that the first set of incorrect cartridges damaged the contacts on the print head. I would recommend reaching out to HP to process a warranty repair or replacement
Does anyone know if you use a USB to hook the printer up to a desktop are you able to also print wirelessly from a tablet or cell phone while the printer is still hooked up to the desktop?
Im looking for the hp model that connects to my iphone without the use of a router. We lost out home internet and i desperately need to print shipping labels. I have researched the process and i need the hp printer that has a feature that lets me connect printer to my iphone internet using the hpdirect app. Not sure if its bluetooth or mobile printing... help, my kids cant be bothered.
This printer does have hp direct print and you can print to it directly by connecting to its own wifi network instead of your router. The wifi network starts with the word HP....
I am having a strange issue, just set it all up and I am trying to print out color, but it's not letting me. It prints color when it does the test page, but won't do it on any other web pages and images? I know there are presets , I am just confused as to why it's doing all black and white, even when it prints color? any ideas?
Hello. Is this printer good for art prints and stickers? I have small art business and I would love to print my products at home. Small batches, of course. Is this a good printer for printing on watercolor paper and vinyl?

Bought one today, Prime Day special! Our current printer is over 10 years old and Windows 10 doesn't really support it.
Hello, just wanted to inform you that Best Buy has this printer today for $35 incase you paid more return it and purchase it through best buy.
great review - will do you one on the new HP-6055 Envy?
Yes. Possibly
You said there was a link to the step by step instructions but I can't find it in the description. Do you have that link?

It could be either an issue with aligning the print head or cleaning the print head. I would recommend the simple alignment procedure first.
how do I print a legal size document? and where is the " blue paper-guide release lever (1)" ?
Great review, just one thing, do I have to leave the printer on all the time or will it turn itself on when I want to print ?
You can leave the printer on all the time. When not being used, it goes into sleep mode which consumes very little power. As soon as you print to it, it wakes itself from sleep and prints your file.
Thanks for your video! It got right to the point and was extremely helpful. I am considering buying the HP ENVY 5052 Wireless All-in-One Printer. Do you have any experience with that model?
It’s almost exactly identical to this model
Same question...what is the actual difference? Which one is better...is one an updated version of the other. There's no info I can find.

it basically sets itself up. Just be patient and follow the screen.
Thanks for the review, very helpful. However, I need to know if this printer has to be hooked to a computer in order to work? I want to use it with my IPad and IPhone.
It’s fully wireless so you can use it from a phone or an iPad
Thanks you’ve convinced me.
If you are lucky enough to actually get it to work wirelessly. It's pretty hard especially to get your network to see it. After about 50 tries and installing and uninstalling finally by some miracle it randomly saw my printer on the network it's a shot it the dark to get it to work.

Do you think this is a better printer than the HP deskjet 3755?
Thank you for this review. Could you tell us about the scanning quality? Is it good?
Thanks! The scanning quality is pretty good, in my opinion. Good enough for almost all home and business needs
Thank you for the answer! It sounds like this model is what I need.
Thank you for the answer! I just received another answer from BestBuy; it says "The scanning quality is up to 1200 x 1200 dpi." Could you share with us your knowledge on this? This seems to be high resolution. Does high resolution take more time to scan?

No. It will print labels fine
Is the paper output tray supposed to swing out automatically as it does on the Envy 4510? Because it is not working.
It doesn’t swing out automatically. You have to pull it out manually

Can I connect it to my computer using Bluetooth? I can not connect devices using Wifi due to my apartment complex network settings.
I'm considering getting this printer. Is there any benefit to connecting it with a USB cable vs just using the wi-fi connection?
They both work identically. However, the wifi option allows multiple devices in your home to print to it
Ah, okay. So, since I'm setting up the wi-fi anyway, there's really no need to hook up a USB cable at all, right? Thanks!
@@cScottD Well there is if you can't get the wireless to work, and it's a nightmare to try get it to print wirelessly. It works better with usb.
I haven't had any problems with wi-fi, at least not so far.
