Our Verdict

HP DeskJet 4155e [4133e, 4152e, 4158e]​

HP DeskJet 4255e/4252e

The HP Deskjet 4255e/4252e is the newer version of the HP DeskJet 4155e. They're almost identical printers, although the new version performs slightly worse overall as its cartridges yield fewer prints. Moreover, HP has removed the ability to produce text-searchable PDFs from scanned documents on the newer version, which is a shame. Both printers come with a free ink supply through HP+, HP's ink subscription service.
