Our Verdict
The HP 9125e is good for home use. This all-in-one model offers multiple connectivity options, making it easy for every household member to access. Its ink cartridges yield a large number of prints and are relatively cheap, so you won't have to worry about high running costs. The scanner produces nice scans, and it also has an automatic feeder with duplex scanning capability to process long or double-sided documents. Printing-wise, it's excellent for document printing but not so much for photos, as its low print resolution and limited color range result in a significant loss of fine details and overly dark pictures. It's also a relatively large printer, so you may have a harder time finding space for it.
- Produces sharp documents.
- Wide connectivity options.
- ADF scanner with duplex scanning.
- High page yield, low cost-per-print.
- Narrow color range causes significant loss of fine details in photos.
- Pictures look grainy.
The HP 9125e is decent for small offices. This all-in-one printer produces sharp documents, and it features an ADF with duplex scanning, automatic double-sided printing, and Ethernet connectivity. It also features a large 250-sheet input tray and utilizes ink cartridges with high page yields, minimizing the need for frequent maintenance. It can print up to 18 black-and-white document pages per minute, but only when connected via USB, which is inconvenient if you don't have space to place the printer near the computer or share it with multiple people in your office. Unfortunately, it's slow to print color documents, and its ADF causes scans to come out crooked.
- Produces sharp documents.
- Wide connectivity options.
- High page yield, low cost-per-print.
- Automatic duplex printing.
- Requires wired connection for fast black-text document print speed.
- ADF scans come out crooked.
- Slow to print color documents.
The HP 9125e is a mediocre choice if you're looking for a printer that's always ready to go whenever you need it. This is an inkjet printer; as such, it can clog if not used frequently. If this happens, you'll only have a limited amount of ink per cartridge to try and solve the issue using the built-in maintenance tasks. The printheads are integrated into the printer, but they are user-replaceable, which provides a good fallback solution if nothing else resolves the issue. Page yield is impressive, allowing you to print hundreds of pages per cartridge. However, this printer is on the slower side, as it can only process eight pages per minute.

- Requires wired connection for fast black-text document print speed.
- ADF scans come out crooked.
- Slow to print color documents.
The HP 9125e is decent for photo printing. It yields a large number of color prints, and replacement ink is relatively inexpensive, so you don't have to worry about high ownership costs, even if you print frequently. However, its print quality isn't very good, as its low print resolution and limited color cause significant loss of fine details. Printed pictures also look overly warm and grainy.
- Supports borderless printing and various photo paper sizes up to 8.5" x 11".
- Narrow color range causes significant loss of fine details in photos.
- Pictures look grainy.
The HP 9125e has a great page yield. A set of ink cartridges produces a high number of prints, so replacements are infrequent unless you print heavily. You'll be able to print approximately 1,400 black-and-white pages and around half that amount in color pages before needing to change your cartridges.
- High page yield, low cost-per-print.
The HP 9125e has a disappointing printing speed, especially over a wireless connection, where it manages only seven black-and-white pages per minute. Connecting via a USB cable (sold separately) boosts the speed significantly to 18 pages per minute.
- Requires wired connection for fast black-text document print speed.
- Slow to print color documents.
The HP 9125e's document print quality is excellent, with sharp text and clearly visible fine details. Colored areas, however, appear slightly faded, making white text within them harder to read. That said, this is not the case when printing in high-quality mode.
- Produces sharp documents.
The scanner on the HP 9125e is excellent. It has a wide range of capabilities, including an ADF with duplex scanning and a software-based OCR. Scan quality is great with detailed text and good-looking colors. That said, the processing can be a bit too aggressive in removing finer details. Also, during our testing, the automatic document feeder (ADF) consistently produced crooked scans, regardless of the settings used.

- ADF scans come out crooked.

The Epson EcoTank Pro ET-5850 is much better than the HP OfficeJet Pro 9125e for most uses. The Epson produces nicer documents and photos, prints faster, and yields significantly more prints. It also has a larger 550-sheet input tray capacity, so you won't have to refill the tray as often.
The HP OfficeJet Pro 9025e is better than the HP OfficeJet Pro 9125e for most uses. The 9025e produces nicer documents and photos, and it prints faster overall. It doesn't yield as many black prints as the 9125e, but its ink cartridges are cheaper, making its cost-per-print slightly lower.
The HP OfficeJet Pro 9015e and the HP OfficeJet Pro 9125e are similar printers, but the 9105e performs slightly better overall. The 9015e has a faster print speed and marginally quicker scan speed, and it produces nicer-looking photos as it does a better job reproducing small details. Although print quality is comparable, the 9125e does have a slightly higher page yield.
