Automatic duplexer. Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct. Prints through the cloud. Photo tray for 4-by-6-inch photo paper. Fast photo printing in our tests.

No Ethernet or fax. Lacks an automatic document feeder. Slow for business applications. Installation software and front-panel LCD push hard to sell HP's Instant Ink Program.

Conclusion If you need a printer for a home office, or for the dual role of home and home-office printer, take a look at the Brother MFC-J470DW, which is not only faster than the HP Envy 5540 All-in-One Printer for business applications, but includes...

Lots of features including smartphone support ; Easy to install, configure and use ; Quiet operation

A little on the slow side ; Quite expensive for mono printing

The Envy 5540 is a good budget buy if colour is your priority, but it isn't designed for demanding workplaces.

The Envy 5540 is good value for people who need to produce a lot of colour documents or photo prints, and provides good quality for such a low-cost printer. However, simple mono text documents remain relatively expensive and there are cheaper options...

Excellent print quality; Stylish design;

Tri-colour cartridge design leads to wasted ink; Slow print speeds;

On paper, the HP Envy 5540 looks like a stylish and capable printer for a fantastic price. But print quality and speed don’t match the confidence of the design, and the value proposition gets worse and worse the more you print.

This printer produced some of the best-quality documents in our testing.

An inconvenient three-in-one ink cartridge means you need to replace all of your color inks when only one runs out.

The HP Envy 5540 All-in-One prints documents with category-leading quality, but missing connectivity features and expensive inks keep it from ranking higher.

Very-high-quality prints and scans ; Prints graphics quickly ; Fast to scan PDFs ; Ink subscription lowers printing costs ; Touch screen works well

2.2-inch touch screen is small ; Photo paper tray is fixed at 4 x 6 inches

High image quality, attractive copies and fast scanning to PDF make the HP Envy 5540 a versatile all-in-one.

Built-in Wi-Fi ; Respectable black / white print speeds ; Low price for a printer of this standard ; Separate paper trays for regular and photo printing ; Instant Ink ready

Rather large ; No USB cable included

All in all, the HP Envy 5540 is the perfect option for students or home office users on a budget. The double-sided print option, which isn’t normally a feature on printers of this price range, works extremely well. With the ability to also produce...

Low initial price ; High-quality output ; Easy to set up and use ; Reasonable cost per page (if you subscribe to Instant Ink) ; Wide cloud and mobile-device support ; Duplex printing

Very high cost per page if you don’t opt for Instant Ink ; Comparatively slow ; Uses two-cartridge ink system ; Small input and output trays, with flimsy paper tray ; No ADF, SD-card slot, or USB flash-drive port ; Mono-only LCD
