HP DeskJet 3755 Compact All-in-One Wireless Printer, Instant Ink, Works with Alexa - Blue Accent (J9V90A)

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.

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!!!!

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 purchased this printer and it works just fine. Some reviews on amazon and a few other websites claim that the setup for this printer is "impossible". Either these people are completely inept at computers or they have a defective item. Many claim the instructions are too hard so I will do my best to explain it here. First off It requires you to install from the CD, so it's not plug and play. Once you have plugged the printer into your computer and turned it on, you will then need to install the ink cartridges. Open up the front panel that has the HP logo on it. The ink cartridge head should automatically reposition itself for you so you can install the cartridges. (Make sure the printer is turned ON when you do this). After you have done that you will need to install the drivers from the CD that is included. (or you can download the software online) Once you do that you're almost done. It will ask to install not really necessary software like to make calender's and other things. you can choose to not install that. I recommend then opening up the HP deskjet 3700 series software and click on "Manage Your Printer" and print a diagnostic page. If everything is aligned and there is no streaks on the page as the test say's then you're done. You can now start using your printer. I did a diagnostic print myself and everything was perfect nothing else was needed on my part. Printer prints fine and it prints pretty fast over all. The only "con" of this machine is that the paper feeder is at the top of the printer. It would save more room with people who have full on computer desks if the paper feeder was on the bottom in a slot.

Perfect printer! It’s so easy to use and it’s compact so doesn’t take up too much space. I was worried about set up as some of the reviews mentioned it was hard, but I had nothing to worry about it was super easy! As long as you’re decent with technology you shouldn’t have a problem. The scanning was easy too. Also I love that you can print and scan documents directly from your phone as well. 10/10 would recommend this printer to anyone I don’t have a bad thing to say about it.

Let me preface this by saying I'm a pretty tech-savvy person. I don't usually need to use manuals when it comes to things like printers or other computer peripheral devices, because usually they're very simple and easy to sort out on their own. But setting up the wireless connection on this printer (as well as the HP Instant Ink feature) was a lot more painful than it should have been. I think most of my issues were a result of this printer only being able to connect to 2.4GHz wifi networks - it cannot connect to 5GHz wifi networks. Luckily I have a router that broadcasts both types. Next, none of the connection instructions worked for me - following the instructions in the manual did not work. I had to watch several videos and even then, those instructions didn't seem to work either. Finally, I had to download some sort of "Printer Doctor" software from the HP website and I had to plug the printer into my computer with a printer cable, and only then could I connect to the printer. On top of all this, the next time I turned on the printer, I had to go through the ENTIRE PROCESS all over again because it was like my computer forgot the printer - it was still listed in my printer devices section, but had the "Offline" status and was not able to print. So now I just leave the printer on (I think it goes into a power-saving/standby mode after awhile) so that hopefully I don't have to repeat all this again. But aside from these issues, the printer itself works well when connected and the print quality is great. Hopefully you have better luck connecting it than I did, because it really is a great printer!

While I can appreciate how lightweight and compact this unit is, this is literally the WORST printer I've ever bought. Printing takes forever and scanning can only be done one page at a time. Connecting the printer to WIFI was an absolute atrocity and it just barely worked when connecting it to my computer directly via USB. I thought I might just not be able to figure out technology (cue midlife crisis), but the tech support that remoted into my laptop couldn't even figure it out. The printer was showing as ready, but the drivers would always show as unavailable, despite uninstalling and reinstalling both driver and printer on my laptop MULTIPLE times and having it connected to my laptop via USB (we'd given up on wireless connection completely by that point). I ended up fighting with it for an entire two days before caving and buying a Canon Pixma all-in-one. It took me all of two minutes and zero aspirin to set up. I have returned this product and will likely never buy another HP printer again. Don't let the price fool you; this printer is absolute trash.

Great little printer. We have an HP8720 which is great for scanning, and has all the features. I just need one by my work table to print out patterns and notes. I almost didn't buy it because of the reports about set up problems, plus my aggravating experience setting up the HP8720. The price was too good to pass up. Set Up took 3 minutes and I am happily printing away. It is perfect for my needs. I declined the "so called" 4 month "instant ink" offer, which turned out to be 2 months. There is no free ink as some people seem to think. The prices quoted are for 10 sheets a month. Read the fine print!! Opting out is dicey! Once again, read the fine print!
