HP 5534 e-All-in-One Printer Review

Built for tight spaces, the HP ENVY 5534 e-All-in-One inkjet is still capable of handling printing, scanning, and copying. Its capacity is somewhat limited, and it lacks an ethernet port, but its color touchscreen and high-capacity ENVY 5534 e-All-in-One printer ink supplies are enough to make it worth a look.

The 5534 has a sleek design that eschews extras in favor of compactness. It is only 4.7 inches high, with a footprint of 13.2x17.5 inches. Buyers will also be glad to know it weighs just 12.3 pounds, even with the HP 5534 e-All-in-One ink supplies in place. A 2.65-inch touchscreen is featured on the control panel, giving users easy access to its many functions.

ISO print speeds are fast, at up to 8.8 pages per minute in black and 5.2 pages per minute in color. The maximum scan resolution of 1200 ppi should be more than adequate for home users, and wireless support is included for sharing. Strangely, the unit lacks a wired ethernet port, but this probably won't be much of a downside for a typical home user. The inclusion of HP's ePrint technology means that printing from smartphones and tablets will be easy, and users can even print remotely by sending print jobs to an email address.

Using only two HP 5534 e-All-in-One ink cartridges is a disadvantage, as the tricolor supply can lead to wasted printer ink. Luckily, prices for ENVY 5534 e-All-in-One ink cartridges are low enough to help overcome this hurdle. With the combination of remanufactured HP 5534 e-All-in-One ink and using the high-capacity versions, buyers can keep their cost per page down.

The 5534 inkjet printer is very clearly geared toward an average home user, rather than a small office, but it is a very capable machine in its own right. Buyers who plan to print a lot of photos or those who need mobile printing options will find a lot to like with this affordable machine.
