Q: Is this printer an ink jet or laser printer? Can you print on vellum with this printer?

submitted by AH - 11 months ago
  • A: Can you print an index card 3x5

    submitted byD - 8 months ago
  • A: Hello and thank you for asking. The HP DeskJet 4255e printer can print on ink jet rated vellum. There’s no guarantee that the printer will print on the vellum you choose or yield satisfactory results since HP can’t test every paper on every printer. You may need to use a carrier sheet to feed the vellum. We have successfully printed on 30 lb. (44 gm2) vellum paper with an HP OfficeJet Pro printer.

    Brand expert
  • A: Hi AH, thanks for reaching out about HP DeskJet 4255e Wireless All-in-One Color Printer Scanner Copier with Instant Ink and HP+. The HP DeskJet 4255e is an inkjet printer. Printing on Vellum: While inkjet printers can generally print on a variety of paper types, including vellum, there are a few things to consider: Vellum Thickness: If the vellum is too thick, it may cause paper jams. Ink Absorption: Vellum may not absorb ink as well as regular paper, which could result in smudging or bleeding. Printer Compatibility: Some inkjet printers may not be designed to handle the thickness or texture of vellum. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

Q: Can I use stencil paper on this printer? Like a thermal printer

submitted by Daved - 6 months ago
  • A: Hi Daved, thanks for reaching out about HP DeskJet 4255e Wireless All-in-One Color Printer Scanner Copier with Instant Ink and HP+ (588S6A) Stencil paper is not supported on this printer.

    Target expert support
  • A: Hello and thank you for asking. The HP DeskJet 4255e printer is an ink jet printer. If you wish to print on stencil paper rated for use with an ink jet printer, and the paper is within the weight range of the printer, then you can use it to print on stencil paper. Please note the DeskJet 4255e printer is not compatible with thermal paper, as it does not use heat to print on such paper. It is also not capable of making an impression on the print, such as for use with carbon paper to make multiple copies, or on most transfer paper.

Q: Do I need a home phone line to use or send a fax

submitted by Suggamamma - 6 months ago
  • A: Thank you for your question about this HP DeskJet all-in-one inkjet printer! It does not have fax built into it. The HP Smart app has outbound internet fax and there are some apps that handle bidirectional fax through the internet. The OfficeJet Pro series machines all have fax built into those and those require a land line. Target sells those in-store and online.

    No more hp printers

    It was easy to setup, but it has terrible printing and scanning quality. I can’t get things to print in the middle of the page. Buttons have weird functions. You need about 3 different apps to work the printer. And most off all, to scan you have to do press the scan button from the computer. And to print double sides you have to take the page, flip it and put it back in! And the apps are not user friendly. Terrible terrible! I’ll be returning.

    Buy any other printer

    If I could leave 0 stars, I would. I only resort to this printer at home whenever I have to do some quick work and it always gives me trouble. I either have to restart or troubleshoot every single time I try to print. It’s so frustrating using this thing and such a waste of time! What should be quick and efficient always has me for at least an hour trying to get it to work.

    done with HP

    returned, self feed scan did not work. Also, I found out through set up HP is now not allowing other ink cartridges and their policy states their updates can detect when other cartridges are being used and it will not update if you aren't using their cartridges... will not be purchasing another HP. My last HP lasted 10 years ... I don't think they make them like that anymore.

    Waste of money

    I am technically advanced and can troubleshoot most issues without assistance. That said, I bought this printer in October as an upgrade to an old $40 model that I had for 7 years. Bought it in October. It is now December, and it no longer prints unless I unplug every time. I’ve tried printing via WiFi network, via direct WiFi connection, and via Bluetooth with no success unless the machine fully reboots. Sleep mode does not exist. My old machine could sleep for days and print when I needed a 2-page document printed on the fly from any device. I also thought this was auto-double-sided, but no. My old one was. I’m so frustrated that it’s outside the return window, because I definitely want my money back. I honestly don’t even want another HP. Oh and the Instant Ink and Paper ads are incessant!

    If I could leave 0 stars I would. This printer is a disaster.. something that should be so simple has been a nightmare anytime it has to be used.. and as a business owner it is unfortunately very regularly. I’ve had to resort to pay to print out of my house a couple times just because it refuses to print with no resolve. I’ve considered smashing it in the street. 0/5 stars would not recommend.

    Do not buy

    Our last HP printer worked without issue for years - this printer has "glitched" and deemed 5+ brand new ink cartridges unusable. It keeps trying to force us to sign up for an ink subscription, and you have to operate the printer through an absolutely terrible desktop app. Do not buy this printer seriously you will waste your time, money, and ink.

    I definitely regret purchasing this printer. I previously had an HP that I loved. This one is never connected. I have to constantly go into the app to reconnect it. It is so frustrating not to be able to just simply print from a wireless computer or phone.
