What Ink Does the HP ENVY 6458e Use?
Last Updated:Quick answer: the HP ENVY 6458e uses HP 67 ink — a black and a tri-color cartridge — with HP 67XL as the high-yield version. The XL is the only sensible buy for most people.
Two corrections worth making before you order. First, the 6458e is not the same as the newer ENVY 6155e or 6555e, which moved to HP 68 — if you own one of those, HP 67 will not fit. Second, HP 63 and HP 65 (which HP merged into a single "HP 63/65" line in 2026) belong to older DeskJet and ENVY printers and are keyed differently.

HP ENVY 6458e
| Pillar (weight) | Score | What it is based on |
|---|---|---|
| Owner ratings (28%) | — | No retailer rating with enough reviews to use. |
| Expert reviews (18%) | 70 | PCMag (6455e) 3.5/5 |
| Cost per page (24%) | 39 | About 15.2¢ per page blended (black + color) with our remanufactured 67XL (240 / 200 pages). Docked because the printer can reject cartridges without the maker's chip. |
| Reliability (13%) | 81 | Most-reported problems: HP+ activation locks the printer to Original HP cartridges and requires a constant internet connection; third-party cartridges can be rejected after firmware updates on dynamic-security HP printers |
| Features (12%) | 72 | Print, copy, scan, document feeder, auto two-sided printing, Wi-Fi. No fax, no touchscreen. |
| Value (5%) | — | Running cost and owner satisfaction |
Limited data: We could not find enough owner ratings for this printer, so that weight is spread across the other pillars.
Hard to find new. HP has effectively retired the 6458e, and it now turns up mainly as limited remarketed stock. Its successors, the ENVY 6155e and 6555e, take HP 68 instead of HP 67.

HP ENVY 6458e ink at a glance
| Cartridge | Family | Part Number | Approx. Yield |
|---|---|---|---|
| Black (standard) | HP 67 | 3YM56AN | ~120 pages |
| Tri-Color (standard) | HP 67 | 3YM55AN | ~100 pages |
| Black (high yield) | HP 67XL | 3YM57AN | ~240 pages |
| Tri-Color (high yield) | HP 67XL | 3YM58AN | ~200 pages |
Those yields are HP's own ISO figures and they are genuinely that low. A two-cartridge printer at this price is built to be cheap to buy rather than cheap to feed, which is exactly why the XL matters so much here: roughly twice the pages for nowhere near twice the price.
Read this before you buy third-party ink
The "e" in 6458e marks an HP+ eligible machine. If you accepted HP+ at setup, HP requires Original HP cartridges to operate the printer and compatibles will not work; the printer also needs an active internet connection to print. If you declined HP+, the printer still has HP dynamic security, which can reject cartridges with non-HP chips, sometimes only after a firmware update. Remanufactured cartridges that keep the original HP chip, like our 67XL, are the safer choice. Our guide to printers that do not lock you into OEM ink explains the difference, and using compatible ink does not otherwise void your warranty — that protection is written into US law.
About the HP ENVY 6458e
The 6458e is a retail-channel version of HP's ENVY 6400e series, sold through Walmart and Sam's Club rather than HP.com. Its non-HP+ twin is the ENVY Pro 6458.
Print, scan and copy, with automatic two-sided printing, a 35-sheet document feeder and a 100-sheet input tray. Rated up to 10 ppm black. Connectivity is Wi-Fi, USB and Bluetooth 4.2, with no Ethernet — and fax is send-only through the mobile app rather than a real fax modem. The control panel is an illuminated button panel, not a touchscreen.
HP has effectively retired this model and points buyers at the ENVY 6555 instead. HP 67 remains widely made, so it is a machine to keep running rather than a dead end — but note that the 6555 uses HP 68, not 67, so a replacement printer means new cartridges.
Common problems on this model
E4 paper jam, including phantom jams
HP documents that jams on this series can be real or false. Press Cancel first and let the printer try to clear itself. If that fails, check three places: the cartridge access area, the input tray and cleanout area, and the document feeder. Then reset properly — power off, unplug, wait a full 60 seconds, reconnect. See our paper jam guide.
"Out of paper" with paper in the tray
Usually the pickup rollers. Reload the stack squarely, check nothing is obstructing the path, and clean the rollers with a lint-free cloth.
Printer shows offline
Restart printer, computer and router, then confirm the printer is joined to the same network name the computer uses. HP specifically recommends plugging the printer into a wall outlet rather than a power strip. Our Wi-Fi setup guide has the full walkthrough.
Streaky or missing lines
Run one printhead cleaning from HP Smart, print a test page, and run a second only if needed. A third cleaning rarely fixes what the second did not, and each one uses ink. See faded or streaky prints.
What ENVY 6458e owners ask
These are the questions that come up most for this printer on retailer Q&A pages, HP's support forum and owner reviews, answered in our words.
Why did non-HP cartridges stop working in my 6458e?
There are two possible reasons. If HP+ was turned on at setup, the printer accepts only Original HP cartridges. Even without HP+, the 6458e has HP dynamic security, which can reject cartridges with non-HP chips after a firmware update. Remanufactured cartridges that keep the original HP chip, like our 67XL, are the safer choice.
I turned on HP+ during setup. Can I undo it?
In practice, no. HP+ can only be skipped during setup, and HP Community experts say enrollment can't be undone. Once enrolled, the printer needs Original HP ink and an internet connection.
I see "67XXL" for sale. Does HP make one for this printer?
Not in the U.S., as far as we could confirm. HP's North American cartridge list for this printer has only HP 67 and 67XL, so a "67XXL" sold here is a third-party cartridge.
Can the 6458e send a fax?
Only through HP's app or software on a phone or computer, and only outgoing. There is no fax modem or phone-line port.
Can I connect it with a network cable?
No. There is no Ethernet port. It connects by Wi-Fi, USB 2.0 or Bluetooth 4.2.
ENVY 6458e quirks worth knowing
- It has Bluetooth 4.2 as well as Wi-Fi, which most guides miss. Bluetooth is handy for first-time setup from a phone.
- A 35-sheet document feeder is unusual at this price, but the scanner is slow at about 2.8 pages a minute.
- It is rated for at most 1,000 pages a month, and prints at about 10 pages a minute in black and 7 in color (ISO).
- Its successors, the ENVY 6155e and 6555e, take HP 68, so moving to a newer ENVY means new cartridges.
FAQ
What ink does the HP ENVY 6458e use?
HP 67 black and tri-color, or the high-yield HP 67XL versions.
Does the ENVY 6458e use HP 68?
No. HP 68 belongs to the newer ENVY 6100e and 6500e series — the 6155e and 6555e. The 6458e is an ENVY 6400e machine on HP 67.
Does it use HP 65 or HP 63?
No. HP 65 fits the DeskJet 2600 and 3700 series, and HP 63 fits older models such as the DeskJet 3630 and OfficeJet 3830. HP merged the two into a single HP 63/65 line in 2026. None of them will seat in this printer.
Is the 6458e the same as the ENVY Pro 6458?
Same hardware and same HP 67 ink. The "e" version is the HP+ bundle; the Pro 6458 is not enrolled.
Why does my 6458e say the cartridge is low so quickly?
Because a standard HP 67 really is only about 120 pages. Moving to 67XL roughly doubles the pages per cartridge.
