HP 5539 e-All-in-One Printer Review

Given the low price tag of the HP ENVY 5539 e-All-in-One inkjet printer, buyers might not expect features like automatic duplexing or a touchscreen display. Nevertheless, this model includes these features and more, along with quick ISO speeds of up to 8.8 pages per minute. HP 5539 printer ink prices can be a bit high, but high-capacity versions are available.

Although the 5539 could function as a very light-duty office machine, it is primarily designed for the home. This is most evident in the lack of an automatic document feeder, with only a flatbed scanning surface included. This makes scanning multi-page documents a long and tedious process that would frustrate office users.

Where the 5539 really shines, however, is in its wireless networking support. Not only is the device quick and easy to set up on a wireless network, but it integrates with mobile devices with support for ePrint and AirPrint protocols. Also included in the ePrint services are several templates such as graph paper music staff paper, and more.

The paper capacity leaves a bit to be desired, at only 100 sheets. Given the compact size and a weight of only a little over 12 pounds, even with the ENVY 5539 printer ink installed, this tradeoff is easy to understand. Reviewers noted that photo quality is above average for its class, and text documents are average.

As with many home inkjet printers, the cost of HP 5539 ink cartridges can be a big part of expenses. High-capacity ENVY 5539 ink cartridges are available to help keep the cost per page down, and users can even find remanufactured HP 5539 ink supplies from several third-party sellers, at a lower cost than OEM supplies.

While it's a bit too limited for small office work, the ENVY 5539 is a nearly perfect choice for a home user with light-duty office needs. With features like duplexing and mobile printing, it is an excellent value for its low purchase price.
