HP 5515 Printer Review

A photo inkjet printer is often ideal for home users, but what happens when you also need some office functionality? The HP Photosmart 5515 e-All-in-One provides an answer, as a multifunction printer that can handle printing, faxing, and scanning in a single machine. It comes with Wi-Fi built right in, and it can print at up to 11 ppm for black and 7.5 ppm for color in ISO-based ratings. Buyers won't pay too much for printer ink either, with affordable HP 5515 ink prices.

One of the highlights of the 5515 is a 2.36 inch touchscreen display that is very intuitive to use. It features large icons making it easy to navigate, allowing full control of the unit's functions. The scanner glass can handle letter-size sheets, and an interpolated resolution of 19,200 dpi is supported for producing sharp images with a lot of detail.

Many of the functions can be controlled without the need for a PC. The memory card slots provide a quick way to print photos from a digital camera, and users can even save scanned images directly to the cards. When connected to the internet through the wireless connection, the control panel can even surf the web directly and print photos and web pages with just a few taps of a finger.

This inkjet model is economical in printer ink usage. The standard HP 5515 ink cartridges have a yield of 300 pages for color and 250 for black. High-capacity Photosmart 5515 ink cartridges offer a better value, however, providing more than double the yield at only a slightly higher price. High-capacity compatible Photosmart 5515 ink is an even better alternative, at a lower cost than OEM prices.

Offering great photo features, office functions like copying and scanning, and the convenience of wireless support, the HP 5515 is an impressive entry in the consumer class of multifunction printers. Its affordable price and low-cost HP 5515 ink make it an excellent value.
