Our Verdict

HP OfficeJet 5255

HP ENVY Photo 7155

The HP ENVY Photo 7155 and the HP OfficeJet 5255 are two home printers that perform relatively similarly. The ENVY is slightly better for families since has better color accuracy and photo printing quality. Its cost-per-print is also a little bit lower. On the other hand, the OfficeJet has much better scanning features, providing a flatbed and a sheetfed scanner, which is great for people wanting to process many pages at once.
