HP DeskJet 3755 Compact All-in-One Wireless Printer, HP Instant Ink, Works with Alexa - Seagrass Accent (J9V92A)

First off, the "What's in the Box" blurb on the page that I ordered from was incorrect: the printer does not come with a CD or a USB cable. It does come with the two necessary ink cartridges: one for color and one for black. That said, the CD is really not necessary, and I purchased a USB cable from Amazon for $8.99 which was delivered the next day.Setup was simple, following the very clear and easy instructions. Going online to 123.hp.com gets you to the software download, accomplished quickly in simple steps. I opted out of the automatic ink option, since this is a printer that will not be used frequently. After the connections and setup were done, the single test page printed, in color, very quickly. I also printed a page that was simply text - it printed very quickly (less than 5 seconds from hitting the "print" option on the app). There is a recent review as of this writing that complains that the printing is very slow, but I would guess that is a local software or connection problem, and not a problem with the printer, unless the unit is defective in some way.All in all very pleased with the footprint (it sits with room to spare on a 20" X 10" side table top), ease of use, functionality, quality, and value.Update 7-18-2023: Still a good, compact, reliable printer for light use and basic tasks. But I have it directly connected and dedicated to a single desktop computer, so I can't comment on the WiFi issues. I must modify my initial statement about how quickly it prints text - my first pages were MS-Word documents, and it worked flawlessly and fast. Printing text from PDF files is much slower, about 45 to 60 seconds per page. So not a printer I would recommend for high volume PDF file printing.

Great printer, I have 2. At $40 you can’t go wrong. The instant ink is a deal sealer. Remember you can pick the free option!!! Upgrade later if you want but do the math...Cons: does NOT print edgevto edge.No user menu/screen on printerImpossible to set up but once you’ve got it, it’s greatMOST IMPORTANT that this is a bear to set up. This is NOT a “plug and play” printer!!! You must know the IP address or navigate from confusing menu and download to another. This printer has NO info on the screen that gives you a clue as to anything.Stay away unless you’ve done the cheap HP’s before or can stand a good learning lesson on 2007 wireless printer technology :)Pros: CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP.Air printEmail to printer, printWiFi direct printIf you have one or set one up before, it’s cake and these are a steal of a deal. Do not pay more than $40.If you need a quality instant ink printer, with a flatbed scanner, nice user LED screen with menu and programming, true edge to edge printing, HP makes the envy. I think it’s currently $89. I own that one too for scanningAnd copying things. It’s far superior but again, this printer: for simple cheap printing you will love it.

The nicest thing I can say about this is that it is a more compact piece of [junk].This is the thing with new devices, right? They look so much sleeker and sexier and more futuristic than "outdated" technology. My old MFD was an ugly, hulking monstrosity. However, all I had to do to use it was plug it into a power source and plug it into my computer and off we go on our merry way. It. Worked.This takes up possibly less than a quarter of the desk space and looks much nicer. You want to connect to it? Use the wireless direct network. Once you're connected, it will launch an app offering you a variety of services you never wanted, because all you want is to print a [redacted] checklist for an upcoming trip. You want to print, you have to connect to the internet. You connect to the internet, you are disconnected from your printer. Go ahead, try using the virtual assistant. Half an hour later, you will still be staring at the "One moment while I get read to chat" message. What is it exactly that a chatbot has to prepare for remains a mystery. It's okay, though, because you can also connect with your cell phone! All you have to do is download another app. Create another account. Give HP that sweet, sweet lucrative personal data. Get pressured yet. again. to sign up for their ink subscription service.Jesus, I miss my old monstrosity. Ugly, simple, and functional. Like that one type of person each of us has dated at some point, the HP DeskJet 3755 Compact All-in-One Wireless Printer is an attractive, useless disaster. It exists to make the things in your life that once were simple into an unending nightmare, while simultaneously trying to maximize the value it can leech out of you. I have not yet succeeded in printing a single thing.It's like the sleeker companies make the product design, the more of a nightmare the UX is.Edit: Finally ordered a cable--separately (remember when printers actually came with the cables you need to connect them to a computer?). Got the printer to work.Print quality is low and you can print maybe fifteen pages on each fresh toner cartridges. Apparently, HP's zeal for manipulating you into their ink subscription service is so avid that they're more than happy to maximize the amount of hazardous waste generated by an endless series of ridiculously undersized toner cartridges. WHAT IS THIS, A TONER CARTRIDGE FOR ANTS?
