Rated 5 out of 5 by HPuser365 from HP, Still Known & Trusted For Reliability Of Products This printer is the ( first ) printer I purchased many* yrs. ago. To my surprise it still prints documents & pictures beautifully. I always use the USB cable instead of the e wireless as a preference. This priner works flawlessly* with my older ( firts HP ) Laptop - Pavillion dv7. Because this printer is an older model There's some printing issues with a Newer HP Laptop I have. I suspect outdated software issues. Over all , my HP ENVY 4500 all in One Priner is still functional to date.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Daisy26 from Became unreliable with no warning. I'm sure I've had this printer since 2016. It's been great. I was printing on it only 2 weeks ago. However, about a week ago it gave me a message for "Incompatible ink cartridge". Even though I had been using the ink cartridges in it for about 6 months. I spent $70 on new ink. That didn't work. I tried every troubleshoot available on HP Support. Now I'm stuck with a printer that refuses to print and I need to print stuff for school since yesterday. It would have been nice if there had been some kind of warning before I wasted all of this money on new ink. Now I'm stuck ink that is incompatible with any current models that HP offers and a really large paperweight.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Rrrrr from HP Envy 4500 belongs in the trash This HP Envy 4500 is a piece of junk. So many issues with it specifically wifi connectivity. With over 50 MPS download with a high tech Dell desktop computer, I have to continuously reboot the computer or printer or re-install the password to the printer just to print. This device will delay your work progress on a daily basis. Furthermore, the ink cartridges are very expensive. I have since ordered and Espon Eco Tank and once I get that installed, the HP Envy 4500 will meet its fate with the sledghammer. You've been warned.

Rated 1 out of 5 by DM Lee from Piece of crapola Doesn't connect consistently. Even the HP Diag tool doesn't work. Always changes its IP address. Even changing to static IP mode doesn't help it connect properly. Prints fine but extremely unreliable. Next time I will take heed when 33% of an HP product has 1/5 star ratings on Amazon. This is junk; even updates don't help.

Rated 5 out of 5 by JTJersey from A Real Work Horse I've been using this HP Envy 4500 for almost 6 years and it just keeps on working. Print quality is great for my routine daily office use. Photo quality is a bit lacking, but more than adequate for brochures, greeting cards or even the occasional photo to frame. Scan quality is great for documents, but not as good for images. Scanned images can often look less sharp than the original and image printing can use quite a bit of ink. Still very useful for non-critical pictures. Linux support is excellent and setup is a breeze. Plug it in and start using it. Windows require the usual ten minute installation procedures. Best printer I've ever purchased.

Rated 1 out of 5 by DissatisfiedCustomer10000 from I've had this printer for years and it worked well once before it kicked the bucket. My computer tells me that it still has ink, it just refuses to actually print whatever I need. It currently just sits in my closet taking up space.

Whole lines of words appear to be randomly skipped by black ink when printing text; it prints two, then skips one. After replacing both ink cartridges and printing and copying the alignment page even hard booting does not work.
