Addendum 29 November 2020 (purchased in February 2020). The first several months with this printer were serendipity, printed great, but I only needed it a couple times a month. HP sent a spare set of ink cartridges early on as my first refill under its Instant Ink program.Went to print after a couple months of non-use in October 2020, photo colors were washed out and striped, like the heads had lost all control (more on this in Addendum at bottom). After several attempts to remedy it, printing test pages that all counted toward my Instant Ink quota, I gave up and installed the new ink cartridges, all was good again. Now, a month after that, went to print a letter with photos, back to the same problem.This printer unfortunately is no longer worth the pain and suffering to work through it. It was great at first, but then it let me down, bigly. My guess, someone who uses it regularly would have better results, as others reported the inkjet heads dry up if not used often.And a word about the Instant Ink Program. A reason for having this small compact printer is the ability to stow it away when not in use. However, HP sent frequent reminders to plug it in and get it on line so it could report on the 0 pages it was printing. I tried to do so for a day here and there to suit them, but the communications got more aggressive. Plus…the program of free monthly quotas up to 15 pages now has a nominal charge. And more, once I sent in the old inkjet cartridges I was hoping for HP to send replacements. Did not happen, apparently I have to print their target threshold of pages, which isn’t going to happen with bad printing issues.Summing up, I had high hopes for this for my minimal use, but those hopes were for naught.If you are a potential buyer, here’s some longer term experience, but if you are a frequent user, I encourage you to read below at what I found out of the box after a couple weeks of use. It’s not all bad, just didn’t work for me.——————-My 8 year old HP OfficeJet 6700 finally gave up the fight — would not load paper. It was originally purchased to print from iPhones and iPads, but gave way to a mono LaserJet Pro M227fdw, which is a workhorse (if you want a reliable mid-level all-in-one). Both excell(ed) at duplexing, which was a main requirement for my printing at the time each was purchased. As I defaulted to the LaserJet, I used the 6700 for color printing only, which was done in spurts, probably not averaging more than 10 pages a month, plus expensive cartridge replacement.Once I lost the color printer, I did an exhaustive, paralyzing search for a replacement, since the need was essentially just for simple color printing. The DeskJet 3755 was attractive in compactness, style/color, and price, but came with so many negative comments on multiple facets and no duplexing. Yet, no matter what I looked at in the less-than $200 variety, everything had similar faults, almost as if the same group of reviewers wrote the same reviews for every HP, Epson, Brother, and Canon printer out there.I eventually decided a $50 cost was worth the risk, even with reported slow performance, scanning issues, connectivity issues, and an ink-guzzler. I was also turned off by the reported “must provide credit card to set up” reports. No, you don’t, I did without it. But I later provided a credit card to join the HP Instant Ink program, which once you do the math, is a no-brainer at low volume…or actually any volume, with the flexibility to change or back out at any time.After a week or so, I can report it is not slow (in general) at normal quality, and the print is crisp, even with photos embedded in documents. Scans are crooked if you put them in loosely, as opposed to square against the right-side guide, and then the scan is as you would expect a proper scan to appear. No, it doesn’t have a flatbed to scan books, ID cards, etc. I don’t care that you can only feed one page at at time, since I’m using my LaserJet for scanning. If you are copying voluminous ledgers or reports, anything other than loose pages, don’t buy this all-in-one. I have not and don’t intend to do color nor B&W copying, so maybe folks are right that it’s not great on this printer, though with a little patience, it probably isn’t that bad as reported.As for connectivity issues on initial setup, I was prepared for a mess, but was delighted by the simplicity, which I accomplished while on eternal hold with another company needing customer support; you could call it “distracted setup.” Perhaps the confusion for some users comes in the variety of ways HP offers for setup…through a downloaded mobile platform app, direct cable, or internet connection to your main computer, in my case a Mac OS. I opted for the mobile platform app. It was not always intuitive, but with few little hiccups, it connected well. I would offer to be sure your main computer downloads needed drivers, and once I did, I had no problems. I didn’t realize that until I went to the downloaded app for my Mac, that drivers still needed to be loaded, which took less than 5 seconds to do.For the record, those reporting they had to print 11 or more pages in setup…you pushed too many buttons that can give you status, etc, but really didn’t need to be printed with setup. With initial setup I only printed three pages, one being the print alignment tool, which was optional (it was pretty much okay without doing that).I can only surmise that those reporting connection problems either had a network system that was tweaked for their purposes beyond normal configurations, leading to compatibility issues at first attempt to connect to this printer, or they possibly tried to mix steps of the options for setup if they encountered what might have seemed like non-response, in which case I discovered give it time. There are occasional blank screens that don’t show loading/setup action, which was working in the background. That’s one thing HP could fix.What actually scared me were reviews of poorly printed text, photos, and the like. As one or more reviewers have noted, that is likely a firmware problem. So upon initial setup I checked the firmware status and confirmed the latest was installed, likely when first connecting and registering. And as mentioned, there are a couple tools in the app to help you fix that. That said, there are no issues so far with print quality — text nor photos. It is what I was expecting, and surprisingly, not much different from the good old OfficeJet 6700, Rest In Peace.So I have a printer that I expect to meet my low-demand color print needs as well as ink resupply, that will hopefully be delivered without asking, just-in-time at low or no-cost. I decided I really don’t need auto-duplexing, I can just turn the page over to print the flip side, and I love the compact size and color styling. If it starts to let me down I will amend this review, but for now, 5-stars for a $50 unit, with pleasure!Addendum October 18, 2020: One thing another reviewer pointed out, that the inkjet heads dry out or clog up from dust over time, or a variation of that, just happened. After 8 months of very low level use, I went to print a color photo that at first printed normally but too small, resized it, reprinted, and the colors where very much washed out, almost negative-looking. Cartridge ink levels looked to be more than half on the HP app. I did a couple routine troubleshooting attempts like reducing pixel count, realignment test, and the like, but no change. I removed the inkjet cartridges, wiped the excess ink from them, and tried again, no change. So I installed the new jets the HP program had sent upon signup and everything again worked fine. I returned the old cartridges in the prepaid envelope from the ink program. Hopefully HP will send replacements automatically as they did before. But the foot-stomper here is use it more often than I have been and you should be A-OK. Still 5-stars!

I have always bought HP printers over the years. Some have been better than others. Way back, I bought a 3745 in jet printer from Fryes for $15 that lasted 15 years. This new 3755 injet has many more features, was extemely easy to install, and has worked flawlessly for 3 months. The only area I had issues with is the whole process of getting it hooked up to the MyHP.com website. Numerous trys and not very good documentation. You don’t need this to use the printer and some people probably don’t ever get connected. I like it because of the remote printing capability which allows you to email a document the HP site and it will print on the 3755 printer. You can bypass the whole email-it-to-me-and-I’ll-print-it-here, cycle.

TL;DR: How to set up the printer1) Plug in2) Add ink cartridges – make sure that they are installed correctly and there are no error codes on the screen3) Download the HP Smart App on your phone or on your computer4) If you are on a VPN, disconnect5) Follow the instructions on the App – the printer will either be found or not. If it is not found, try the “Manual” process where you use the App to connect to the printer wifi/bluetooth (this is easier on your phone vs on your computer and I recommend doing it on your phone).6) Once the printer is on your wifi, you can connect it to your computer(s) around your home.7) At any point, hit the wifi button and the cancel button to reset the wifi pairing mode on the printer and wait for the power button to start flashing. Once it starts flashing, the wifi pairing mode has been reset and you can start the process again (if you mess up like I did).Let’s start with the obvious – I bought this printer for under $100 because I needed something simple for working from home. I don’t do photos or large jobs or anything – just things like forms that I need to sign and scan back (and I use my phone and the adobe app for all my scanning), Amazon return labels, and small jobs. The printer is perfect for all of that. An amazing price for a good quality printer that prints well for small and non-intensive use.Let’s talk about the set up – I consider myself tech savvy. I am not someone who needs help in setting up wifi tech in my house (we are pretty wired). Yet this took me over an hour to figure out. And thank goodness that I could troubleshoot on the internet when things went south.So I first followed the instructions for plugging it in/adding in the ink cartridges. After putting in the ink catridges (its one of the first parts of the set up), everything started blinking except the power button. And the screen (which is not lit very well) was flashing an E and then a 3 over and over. Had no idea what that meant (thought it had to do with it not being connected to the WIFI yet and decided to continue to set up my printer.Didn’t work.I tried using my computer and tried using my phone. Didn’t work. One hour went by as I tried everything – that included resetting my router, holding down the Wifi Button and the Cancel button to reset the wifi initiation mode (as suggested on the internet) but that wasn’t working. And finally…FINALLY – the E3 flashing made me thinking something else was wrong. And it was – I had installed the ink cartridges wrong (they really need to be pushed in until you hear a click…I didn’t do that).Once that error cleared, I pushed the wifi button and the X/cancel button and waited for the Power Button to start blinking (as the internet told me to do). This process refreshed the wifi pairing mode. Once that happened, I was able to connect the printer to the wifi using the app on my phone and once the printer was connected to the wifi, I could add it to my computer.I just needed someone (for instance, the instructions) to let me know about the error codes and making sure I was doing what I needed to do instead of wasting an hour trying to do everything.So in summary – great little printer for the price, TERRIBLE instructions and not enough information to get it set up unless you do it perfectly from the get go (which how can you when you aren’t given enough information to do it!). I gave it 4 stars because its a great printer at a great price. It lost a star due to the lack of information/troubleshooting on how to set it. Error codes and what they mean should be standard in the manual OR at least the manual should have a QR code that leads you to a place that outlines what they are.

HP is well known for their quality and this printer is also of good quality – HOWEVER – the print speed is way too slow for me! I do like the way it scans and the ink cartridges are very easy to replace. It is a great printer for simple jobs and makes a nice addition to any home computer system. I just wish the speed was better – but I should have read the ‘fine print’ before buying…. Would I buy it again? Yes, probably!

Is this the fastest printer in the world? No, but for less than a 100 bucks what do you expect? What it is: compact, efficient and quick to set up. Exactly 10 minutes to set up to my wireless, laptop and print a test page. I am not tech savvy at all and this was very user friendly. If it continues working for more than a month without be wanting to throw it against the wall, well it’ll beat my experience with Canon by a mile and a half.

Difficile à connecterJ’avais lu les commentaires qui disait qu’elle était difficile à programmer mais pas à ce point. L’application ne reconnaît pas l’imprimante malgré toutes les tentatives. Le site d’aide de HP ne permet pas non plus de régler le problème. Je réussi à imprimer en mode wifi direct seulement.Par contre elle a une bonne qualité d’impression et de scan.

Colour printer is decent, but scanning part is not good.The printer portion of it is pretty straight forward and quality is decent. The ink does dry up quite fast, so don’t count on getting the full alotted pages unless you use it consistently in a short period of time.The scanner portion of this printer is terrible, the feed is reverse from printing and often does not work properly. When it takes the feed, it does not go straight so you end up with a crooked image. Not really that great of a scanner but as a printer it is ok.

Compact, light weight, prints well.Fairly easy set up. Would prefer a paper manual. Took me a short while to figure it all out, but once you do, it works great.

Decent printer for price, setup confusing – here’s what worked for me:Ok, here’s what worked for me, on a Macbook Pro (Catalino OS, Chrome browser) + a non-WPA router setup (Nest Wifi).It’s been at least a decade since I’ve had to set up a printer, so this was – ummm – fun… hopefully this saves you folks some time & frustration!Don’t bother with the HP Smart app from the App Store, it doesn’t work on Catalina OS.- Turn on the printer, let it do its thing. Install the ink cartridges as directed.- Connect the printer to your computer via USB- Push the “Wireless” antenna button on your printer, it should begin & remain flashing.- Open “Printers & Scanners” in your Mac’s Settings- Your brand spanking new printer should* appear in the list, double-click it.- In the little printer window that opens up, click Settings- In the new window that opens up, click “Show Printer Webpage”. For me, this is http://localhost:57106/ . (It might try to forward you to an https version and then crash. Just try the same HTTP one again)- Ok, you’re almost there. This little embedded web server is really slow, so some more patience is required here.- On the main menu / printer control panel which opens up after like MINUTES (either keep re-trying the page, or re-connect the USB then try again) .. click the “NETWORK” tab.- Expand the “Wireless (802.11)” accordion menu on the left side- Click “Wireless Setup Wizard”- Begin the setup, and follow the steps. The first time it searched for my Wii networks, it didn’t work – so I had to start again. But the 2nd time, it found it no problemo.- Once it’s done, the “Wireless” button on your printer should be solid. Heck yeh, nice job!Now your printer should be findable from the HP Smart app if you install the iPhone/Android app. Go forth and print things, kill some trees!
