Our Verdict
HP ENVY 6055e
HP DeskJet 4255e/4252e
The HP ENVY 6055e is slightly better overall than the HP 4255e/4252e. It prints faster, supports automatic duplex and borderless printing, produces better photos, and has a somewhat lower cost per print. The DeskJet 4255e has an automatic document feeder, which the ENVY 6055e lacks, but it's slow, as it only scans three pages per minute.
