   A very solid color laser that does what is says and without hassle
   I really like this color laser. It was easy to install and configure. I was up and running in approximately an hour. My only real issue was that the scanner defaulted to WIA when TWAIN is what my File Center software uses. Not a problem. This color laser supports both and HP had the driver I needed. Jut went out to their well organized support site and there it was.Printing from my iPhone and iPad was easy. As this is replacing an old Brother that didn’t have that capability, this is a big step up for me. I’m not getting rid of the Brother as it still works well, but it will mainly do black&white from here on.The print image is sharp. I needed to print some landscape designs that were made for large format printing and I easily read all but the smallest detail. For the super small detail, with the help of a magnifying glass, that print info was also very sharp. Maybe if I had my eyes from 40 years ago I could have seen it.The printer is quiet. In a room full of equipment that is important.Probably my only critique is removing printed pages. The holding surface needs a little dip to make it easier for those of us with sausage fingers. I got used to it quick enough but would have liked a little dip in the surface to make it easier.The printer comes with very old software and I tested both the wireless printing as well as the email to the printer option. As always, HP has a bunch of available forms and crafts. With land line phones almost obsolete, the mobile fax option is important. For me, it is important only one time per year.Overall this a a very solid color laser for home office use.

   Great printer for any home office
   This printer cost a bit more than other brands, but this was an amazing upgrade from our previous black-and-white laser printer. Amazing as in being 5 times faster, prints in color, supports printing directly from our mobile phones, and has a feeder that has not jammed to date. Print quality is simply superb.But it is not all wine and roses. This printer is considerably noisier then our previous one when printing — but only when printing (which it does very quickly!) and then it drops back to complete silence. And, while it prints double-sided, the scanner is only single-sided — even our inkjet that we got rid of when we bought this could scan double-sided. Finally, you have to “kick-start” the printer as it goes into deep sleep quickly (although we did change it) by pressing the power button on the front before printing — otherwise, it is off-line. If you print all day, then this last observation may not matter as deep sleep can be set to 4 hours and resets each time you print something.Despite the above “warts”, we love this new printer.

   Good color laser printer
   Bought this to replace my wife’s previous all-in-one printer. This has surprisingly good color photo print on plain paper. Not as good as her Pixma, of course, but quite good for a general purpose printer. The scan/fax functionality is fine, the software for scanning works without complaints. As with all printers, cartridges are expensive but not out of the normal range. Buy the HP ones though; we had too many problems when I tried the third-party ones. Glad I bought this printer. She is happy so I am happy…

   Lacking in features over older HP models
    Update August 4th 2023:The cartridges like all printer starters are small. So be prepared to replace them sooner rather than later. If you’re a home / light duty user this will be ok. With our usage we had to replace the starter black in the first three weeks of use. I order the extra large cartridges on all of our HP’s so installed an HP Original 206X Black when the starter ran out. Almost two months to the day I am here ordering another 206X. So with our medium duty usage we are averaging about 2 months in this series’ X cartridge in the black. As mentioned below, this was replacing a legacy workhorse from HP and it’s extra large cartridge lasted us 6 months on average. So again this is a light duty office / home office type printer. The print quality is spot on but with some quirks. After updating its firmware if it sits in standby for a few days (over a weekend) the COPY function reverts to “Copy Stored for Later”. It will scan what you want copied and then send to a queue I’ve been unable to find. Turn the printer off and back on and it copies normally. Again only seem to see this issue over a weekend or after a holiday where we were closed for a day. Have yet to figure this issue out and HP says “this is normal behavior”. Really? Why? I’ll update if I figure out how to turn off the store your copy. And it’s not just storing the copy like a registry it’s NOT copying the page to anew sheet. Just storing it. So again, if you see this problem after your firmware update just shut it off and back on. Also as my review below I should have sent this back but instead it’s eventually being moved to another office and being replaced with a more busy office environment worthy model.I initially gave this 3 stars but gave this 4 Stars since I assumed an HP all-in-one Laserjet Pro (professional/office environment) would have the same basic functions of its HP predecessors. We purchased this printer to replace an almost 10 year old HP all in one laser M425 black and white printer. The things mentioned below were all standard on that and two other legacy HP laser models so the ASSumption on my part was that those features were standard in a PRO model.1 – initially you cannot SCAN 2-sided docs automatically. You could scan the stack, flip and add pages to the scan but they are out of order. As in 1,3,5… then 2,4,6. Using the HP Smart app for Windows that all the documentation suggests it’s fairly useless in the business environment for scans, large document printings from PC, etc. If you download the full HP printer package (NOT mentioned in the startup sheet/guide) you can do a multi-step scan of 2-sided docs in the correct order but you must use the pc software and not the printer’s scan to file/pc function. The PC software will prompt you when and how to flip the stack and after finishing scanning the software will automatically resort the document back into the correct order. The printer itself cannot do this even after a firmware update.2 – you CANNOT copy a 2-sided document onto a 2-sided piece of blank paper. I thought I was not understanding something but after multiple HP chat sessions this is simply not an option. So if you need to copy a quick 6 page front and back document for a client it’s going to take a long moment to flip and re-enter sheets the correct direction or just go the wasteful route and only use the fronts of the new copied pages.3 – the TRAY 1 literally holds a single sheet of paper. You hand it a sheet and like a drink machine dollar taker it pulls the specialty piece of paper into the printer. There is NO documentation included to show anything about how the TRAY 1 operates. We do a lot of specialty printing on check stock, card stock and long forms. Traditional HP laserjet Pro printers TRAY 1 would allow you to load 10-50 sheets depending on thickness. My first test of this printer I stuck a stack of 5 sheets of plain copy paper into TRAY 1 slot and it pulled them in. I sent a test print to the TRAY 1 and the printer immediately jammed. It pulled the stack of 5 sheets into the document feed all at once, jamming the paper path. Searched the internet and discovered this slot – mentioned NOWHERE in the documentation – will only handle a single sheet of specialty or plain paper at a time. So now on special card stock projects someone must stand or sit by the printer and feed it one sheet at a time.For a laser printer it’s good for basic printing, etc but these missing features that all of our former HP Laserjet Pro models contained makes it not a great printer for our specific needs. If you’re mostly printing, then the color and the all black options are super crisp and true to life on colors. In printing regards it’s everything I expect an HP laser to offer in quality for printing. It’s just the act of scanning, and TRAY 1’s ability to NOT handle more than a single sheet of specialty media that’s highly annoying.So if you print a lot and the rest of the features like scanning and 2-sided copying are not that important to you, it’s a great printer. If you deal with printed contracts that have to be scanned in after being signed and sent off to other departments, companies etc or you do a lot of 2-sided scanning just remember this has a weird learning curve with additional software for some things and others it simply cannot do.We are moving this model to a different office and looking for another all-in-one that’s more PRO oriented locally so we can play with the features first.

   It’s so QUIET
   This is a great printer that does it all in a small space. You don’t even have to worry about waking up the baby if your little sweetie is napping right next to it. If II leave the room I’m questioning if it printed and it has every time. Great home printer.

   Se utiliza en un entorno de oficina, muchas impresiones de multiples computadoras todas utilizando WiFi y la impresora no se atora ni se batalla al imprimir.La calidad del equipo es muy buena, y notablemente la marca siempre me ha dado buenos resultados.Por el momento no hay ningún detalle, todo ha funcionado bien.

   I love my LaserJet colour printer. It is a little bit large, but I found a spot for it. It is beautiful and functions perfectly. All the copies are very clear and I haven’t had to replace the cartridges yet so I can’t tell you if it’s worth the money, or at least I can’t give a five until I know.
