HP ENVY Inspire 7958e Wireless Inkjet Printer (327A7A)

HP has gone from a leader in printers to junk dealer from the physical printer itself, to the install, to the tech support, to the entire spectrum of what they could do wrong. If I had simply ignored all their instructions and help, especially the “HP SMART” software, I would have likely had this setup and working within 30 minutes. However, the setup guide said “install the REQUIRED HP Smart software” (it was in bold in the instructions). It was a confusing, complicated, install that was mostly a hard hard sell for instant ink and kept requiring me to give info. It never gave me any opportunity to give my own name to the printer, my own IP address, turn off feature such as Wi-Fi direct. When I called the HP support it went from an automated voice insisting I give my serial number and not finding it thus dropping me. Going online and entering my just activated serial number from a package I received today to something that has already lost two months of warranty? WTF? And now I supposed to provide evidence that I just got it? Doesnt the fact the serial number was just activated prove that. I was dropped not once but twice after calling tech support. After going thru at least 4 separate phone calls, I finally got a tech who said I didnt need to install the allegedly required HP SMART and could have set it up from the screen, download he few drivers, used the embedded web service, and did it all easily. So after cleaning it all off, reconfiguring to my needs, and thinking I am all done, the HP Support goes down so now I cant even download drivers. I have an HP Laserjet 4 built in 1995 (yes 1995) that still works fine. I had a Office Jet Pro that lasted 10 years (which you couldnt even get a repair manual for). I then bought another Office Jet Pro that worked fine for 5 years and then the printhead died and they dont make the part for it. Now I have this one which I cant even get to work. All HP wants to do is sell cheap printers and expensive ink. I will never purchase another HP product

PS: Even after an additional half dozen phone calls, my hardware warranty was put to the proper place but inexplicably is now set back to original incorrect date. I have returned the product and am now using an old canon printer

Print quality and scanning documents is pretty good. The quality on photos is lacking. I have to take the paper out of the paper tray and put just one sheet of photo paper in the tray at a time to print a photo otherwise it pulls the paper through with the photo leading to the photo on part paper and part photo paper wasting paper and print to redo. Photo print not the best quality, lines or breaks show on the photo. It was difficult to figure out how to use, no manual or tutorial. I had difficulty getting it to recognize print comand via Wi-Fi. I did not call/email tech support so I have no comment there. The touch screen is easy to use. This printer replaced an HPEnvy that quit working, that was a top notch printer. It takes time to learn how it works but overall it does what a printer is supposed to do. It does have the capability of feeding a stack of papers/documents through to print and that is a pretty good feature. I recommend this printer if printing documents is what you want it for. I bought this printer for the photo capability and I was somewhat dissappointed with the photo quality and added adjustments to print a photo.

This is a serious upgrade from my previous HP printer. It has the second tray so you can print 4×6 or 5×7 photos, you don’t have to cut paper after printing. Very professional results.

I bought this printer primarily to scan documents. The document feeder is useless. HP sent me a replacement printer. Same document feeder problems, but this printer wouldn’t print MS word documents properly. Support suggest I pay for support to fix this!! STAY AWAY FROM THIS PIECE OF JUNK!!!! No wonder Consumer Reports rates HP printer lowest!!!

I recently started using the HP Envy Inspire 7955e All-in-One Printer, and I’m delighted with its performance. This printer not only meets but surpasses my expectations with its high-quality output and versatile functionality.

Setting up the printer was a breeze, and the print quality is excellent, whether I’m printing documents, photos, or creative projects. The addition of the HP+ Instant Ink bonus for three months is a fantastic perk, ensuring I never run out of ink unexpectedly and saving on printing costs.

The all-in-one capabilities are incredibly convenient; the printer handles scanning, copying, and printing with ease, making it a valuable addition to my home office. The wireless connectivity is reliable, and the mobile printing options make it easy to send documents from anywhere.

Overall, the HP Envy Inspire 7955e has proven to be a reliable and efficient printer, offering great value with the Instant Ink subscription. It’s an excellent choice for anyone looking for a high-performance, multifunction printer. Highly recommended!

Great printer , sign up for the instant ink , saves me money
