HP DeskJet 3755 Compact All-in-One Wireless Printer, Instant Ink, Works with Alexa - Seagrass Accent (J9V92A)

First off, the "What's in the Box" blurb on the page that I ordered from was incorrect: the printer does not come with a CD or a USB cable. It does come with the two necessary ink cartridges: one for color and one for black. That said, the CD is really not necessary, and I purchased a USB cable from Amazon for $8.99 which was delivered the next day. Setup was simple, following the very clear and easy instructions. Going online to 123.hp.com gets you to the software download, accomplished quickly in simple steps. I opted out of the automatic ink option, since this is a printer that will not be used frequently. After the connections and setup were done, the single test page printed, in color, very quickly. I also printed a page that was simply text - it printed very quickly (less than 5 seconds from hitting the "print" option on the app). There is a recent review as of this writing that complains that the printing is very slow, but I would guess that is a local software or connection problem, and not a problem with the printer, unless the unit is defective in some way. All in all very pleased with the footprint (it sits with room to spare on a 20" X 10" side table top), ease of use, functionality, quality, and value. Update 7-18-2023: Still a good, compact, reliable printer for light use and basic tasks. But I have it directly connected and dedicated to a single desktop computer, so I can't comment on the WiFi issues. I must modify my initial statement about how quickly it prints text - my first pages were MS-Word documents, and it worked flawlessly and fast. Printing text from PDF files is much slower, about 45 to 60 seconds per page. So not a printer I would recommend for high volume PDF file printing.

This is our third deskjet all in one. We have one for our home office, one for our second home and one for work. By far our favorite. We have had our first one for five years. These are so darn cute. Not the fastest or high quality but it’s darn close. Love the Alexa feature, print from phone and space saver. Does not require you to subscribe to expensive monthly service like the new printers. Please start making these models again. I had to search everywhere to find this one.

If you are about to make the same mistake I did by purchasing this printer b/c it's the least expensive one available for same-day delivery via Prime, then save yourself time and money by reading this first. I literally spent 5 hours working on setting this up today and finally ended up having to call HP Support for assistance. They took 45 minutes to troubleshoot over the phone. 1. This printer ONLY connects to 2.4ghz wi-fi, and not all wi-fi routers are "manually" switchable. So if you have a non-manually-switchable 5ghz router (like I have through Spectrum, model sac2v2s), then you have to call HP Support to get 5ghz drivers by letting them remote-in to your computer because the drivers aren't easy to find. The person I spoke with at HP Support even installed the wrong driver pak on my computer initially. So if you fall into the category of having a router that auto-switches between 2.4ghz to 5ghz without the option to manually switch, then getting the right drivers installed is the ONLY way you'll be able to connect to wi-fi. 2. If you can't connect to wi-fi, then you have to connect via a SPECIAL USB cable... not just any old USB cable. And this printer DOES NOT COME WITH THE CABLE! You must purchase a USB-A to USB-B cable separately (one end is a normal USB connection but the other end is a big old fat square shape with a slightly curved top). It's an "old" printer style cable. 3. But I couldn't even connect via USB, so had to call HP Support for assistance. After the technician remoted-in to my computer, installed the wrong drivers, installed the right drivers, tried figuring out why the printer was showing an error for the ink cartridge (after it super-slowly auto-printed 2 pages of wi-fi setup instructions TWICE, for a total printing of 4 pages overall), then they made me "watch" a video on how to remove the ink cartridges b/c they couldn't tell me how to do it (and there were no instructions included about it), they finally determined there was an issue with the black ink cartridge. She said it happens periodically where the cartridges arrive already "dried up." - This normally wouldn't be that big of an issue since you can print using the multi-color cartridge, but since it's 5 days before Christmas and I just bought the printer this morning on a Prime same-day delivery rush to print shipping labels since my big printer died last night, I'm going to end up using a lot of the color cartridge to get the job done and HP said they were ONLY going to send me a new black cartridge. I had to protest MULTIPLE times since their "defective" black cartridge is going to cost me money because I'll have to replace the color cartridge sooner than normal. The Tech finally got approval from a Supervisor to send me a color and black cartridge - and I'm supposed to receive them in 17 days. SEVENTEEN DAYS! *** Do your homework before buying this printer. When I think about how much time I wasted today and all the hassle I went through just to print labels to ship Christmas packages, I truly wish I had spent $100 more and bought a "decent" printer. This one is AWFUL and the setup experience was beyond horrendous. *** Your only safety net for ensuring you'll be able to print quickly upon delivery is to buy backup ink cartridges and a USB-A to USB-B cable (if your router isn't "manually" switchable or if you're unsure). And even with all that, it will still probably take you a while to setup so it's usable. And you'll still end up with an old model printer with poor print quality that requires you to download the HP Smart software through the HP website before you can do one darn thing! Trust me, keep shopping.

I bought the refurbished HP DeskJet 3755 because I needed something small, functional, and affordable—and it absolutely checks those boxes. This is one of the most compact all-in-one printers you can buy, and if space is limited (apartment, dorm, office nook, kitchen counter), it’s honestly perfect. But here’s what I learned after using it—things you won’t know just from the listing: ⭐ What I love • The size is unbeatable. It takes up almost no room. It’s sleek, lightweight, and easy to move around. • It handles scans better than expected. The Scroll Scan feature is surprisingly effective, even with stiffer paper. Great for quick documents, forms, IDs, etc. • Refurbished unit looks and works like new. Mine arrived spotless with all the accessories, cartridges, and cables—no sign that it wasn’t brand new. • Works well with phones. Once connected, printing from my iPhone is instant. The HP Smart App makes scanning and copying from your phone genuinely easy. 🛠 What shoppers need to know • The wireless setup can be picky. This is the biggest complaint, and I get it. Mine connected after a few tries, but if your Wi-Fi is finicky, it may take patience. Tip: Connect through the HP Smart App—it’s WAY easier than using the printer’s buttons. • This is not a fast printer. It prints slowly—this is for lists, recipes, forms, labels, and everyday use. Not bulk printing. • It’s great for light use, not heavy-duty jobs. Perfect for home tasks… not ideal for printing a 200-page novel. • The print quality is good, not studio-level. Crisp documents, decent color prints—exactly what most people need. ⭐ Why I still gave it 4 stars Because for the price—especially refurbished—you get an all-in-one printer, scanner, copier, and wireless device that fits anywhere. Yes, it’s slower and can be stubborn with Wi-Fi, but if you want a compact home printer for everyday tasks, this is honestly a great buy. 🧾 Bottom line If you need something powerful, fast, and office-sized, this isn’t it. If you want something affordable, tiny, easy to fit anywhere, and great for casual home printing, the HP 3755 is a solid choice. One of the biggest reasons I feel totally confident using this compact printer is the Instant Ink program. Let’s talk about what makes it great, how it works, and what to watch for (because transparency = trust!). ✅ Why I love Instant Ink Never scramble for ink again: My printer monitors the ink levels and signals HP when I’m getting low. They automatically ship the replacement cartridges so I’m never stuck. HP+2HP+2 Color = same price as black & white: Unlike traditional cartridges where color often costs more, with Instant Ink your pages—color or black and white—cost the same under your plan. HP+1 Flexible plans: Whether you print a little or a lot, you pick your monthly page-limit plan. And if your printing changes, you can switch plans any time. HP+1 Free recycling included: HP sends prepaid envelopes to recycle your used cartridges—so you’re doing better for your wallet and the environment. Inkjets.com+1 ⚠️ What you should know Your printer and Wi-Fi must stay online: The program relies on the printer sending page counts and ink-level data. If the connection goes offline, the system may not trigger a cartridge shipment in time. LD Products+1 Pages count—not how much ink: Even a page with one line of text uses up one page from your monthly allotment. It’s important if you’re watching your plan limits. LD Products If you cancel the plan, special cartridges stop working: The cartridges provided under the plan will cease working at the end of your billing period if you opt out. You’ll need to switch to standard cartridges afterward. HP 🎯 My personal verdict As someone who prints lists, letters, recipes, charts, workshop materials, and more—I breathe easier with Instant Ink in place. With the DeskJet 3755 plus the Instant Ink program, I don’t worry “Do I have enough ink?” or “Can I afford color this month?” It’s one less thing I have to mentally manage. If you’ve ever been caught mid-print only to realize your cartridge is empty, this program is a major upgrade. Combine that with the compact printer and you’ve got a home printing setup that’s simple, smart, and stress-free. If you want, I can craft a short “Instant Ink focus” version of the review (for quick shoppers) and highlight which plan I picked and why!

Just received this printer today and it was easy to set up on my phone......but I did have trouble setting it up to my new computer. I called technical support (googled their number as it wasn't on the instructions) and the technician was super!!! It took about an hour, but she got the printer set up wirelessly and it works just fine. I haven't seen a recent review and some of the old ones were quite negative. I almost didn't buy this, but glad I did. The print quality is very, very nice, and this printer isn't that loud! I don't know what people were saying that it was really loud....it's not. Just like a printer should sound. It spits out the copies very fast too. I'm happy it came with a set of full size cartridges, as most just had start up ones. It's compact and quite attractive. I don't use my printer a lot, but need it to print out recipes and various Word documents I create. I would say if you want a decent printer that has all the typical features for moderate printing use, don't hesitate. And.....if you have any trouble connecting, just call technical support and they are sharp, patient and knowledgeable. They will get you going quickly. I give this printer and technical support 10 stars!!!!

NOT THE EASIEST TO CONNECT TO MY WIFI, BUT YOUTUBE HELPED WITH THAT. THE INK ISNT SUPER EXPENSIVE WHEN YOU GET THE HP INSTANT INK. I LOVE THAT I CAN WIFI DIRECT WHAT I WANNA PRINT AND ITS SO MUCH EASIER THEN TRYING TO SGN INTO EVERYTHING. THE PICTURE QUALITY IS GREAT.

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!

Love it (and I'm a whiney complainer). I bought a Canon Pixma (NEVER MAKE THIS MISTAKE!) but soon learned that it was difficult to maintain. This is because the cartridges must go into the receiver thingy (LOL) at an angle or the print head gets damaged. This HP, like every HP I have purchased just snaps in easily. The print quality of this HP is fantastic printing color pictures onto regular copy paper! The Canon Pixma (no matter how much I tried aligning the print cartridges) prints horizontal streaks on every single color pic or diagram. All of my HP's in the past have lasted at least 2 years. The canon Pixma lasted 12 months, stopped printing, and will only flash trouble codes which translated to "TAKE THIS PO$ TO AN AUTHORIZED CANON SERVICE CENTER". One thing which doesn't bother me: the Canon printed much faster (but who cares with all of the problems?).
