It might as well be pleasant to view.Although there are many different photo printers out there, finding one that is compatible with a Mac, and that works well, needs a bit more research. Obviously, function matters way more than form for office machines, but unless you’re squirreling your printer away under your desk, you’re going to be looking at it every day for years to come.
Printers that offer single-pass duplex print, scan, and copy are the holy grail.
The 9015e replaces our former pick, the OfficeJet Pro 9015, but it’s identical from a hardware perspective the only differences are the longer warranty, the longer Instant Ink trial, and some added software features that are bundled into the new HP+ printing ecosystem. It looks great in any office, thanks to a clean, compact design, and it comes with a two-year warranty that’s twice as long as what you’d get with most competing printers. If you print a lot of photos, you can opt for HP’s Instant Ink program (a six-month trial is included with your initial purchase), which brings the cost of each color page to as little as 2.9¢, including glossies.
But it also prints beautifully (and quickly), scans well, has great apps for PCs and mobile devices, and prints for an affordable 2.2¢ per page in black or 8.9¢ per page in color.
The HP OfficeJet Pro 9015e is likely to be the easiest printer you’ve ever had to set up, and that alone is enough to recommend it.
