Nice compact printer
Michael J Benedict✓ Verified Purchase•September 23, 2023
It prints great, it's a little bit noisy, but dont use tech support. That ended up costing $150 dollars extra, because I had "Viruses". Its funny I didnt have any trouble before I bought this printer, and the did remotely work on my computer for a few hours, but I have no idea what they did.
Bang for the buck compared to ink jet
Techiedude✓ Verified Purchase•September 19, 2023
Coming from a $50 Brother inkjet, this HP is a Godsend.
Is the HP more expensive? Yes.
Are the toner cartridges more expensive than the inkjet refills? Yes.
Then why is it a bigger-bang-for the-buck? Because it works - and it works **really well**.
I've only had the Brother inkjet for maybe six months and I've constantly had to clean the heads before printing (once I had to clean them 6x before it would print two pages). Then when my son needed to print his school assignment, it wouldn't. I went through all of the troubleshooting steps for the "Unable to Print 50" error. And when I got to the end of their online steps, it said "Your machine will require service. Contact support for warranty options".
Better yet, I'll just buy a printer that works...
I'm *not* an HP fan - far from it; but this printer works.
As for setup, the WiFi config process was a bit convoluted but I got it working and I was printing within 30 minutes of unboxing/installing the drivers.
Most importantly, and this **CANNOT** be understated: I'm no longer getting cold stares from the family or yelled at from across the house for a printer that doesn't work.
When it prints within seconds of sending a print job - .
When my son smiled happily that it printed on both sides of the paper without him doing anything (auto-duplexing) - .
When I don't have to waste my time troubleshooting a printer: .
You can't put a price on the above...
Of course with all technology, YEMV (Your Experience May Vary) - but so far, I'm a happy camper.

Works well with Linux. Just three tiny complaints, but on the whole I love this printer ....
Burundian✓ Verified Purchase•September 11, 2023
This printer is working very well for me. I use linux and it works pretty good! I just have three minor complaints: 1) I am a little dissappointed in that the prints with the standard fonts I use (in LibreOffice) are not as darkly printed as when used with a canon inkjet printer .... in other words printouts with my old inket stood out more and were more appealing. 2) This is very infrequent but it may not wake up out of sleep mode and you have to press a button and then reprint the doc. But I consider this to be minor. 3) I like to print on used paper ... and sometimes the toner doesn't want to apply well to some of the really old paper I have been using. Inkkets don't have this problem. //// Having said all of this, again, I am pretty darn happy with this printer. It is my first laser print. The laserjets are the most economical in the long run I have read .... I am happy with it and would definitely purchase it again ... !!
Mostly great
David Rar✓ Verified Purchase•August 17, 2023
Summary: mostly, a terrific printer. Three minor issues encountered.
I'll get the issues out of the way first. Complaint #1: the WiFi set up was awful. I tried three times to get my password in. I finally got the printer on my home network, after a lot of annoyance. I was not able to get the printer registered into the "HP Smart" software system. I carefully deleted every bit of the "HP Smart" software. Complaint #2: the LED display panel on top of the printer has a small visible flaw, a black line that will not go away. The display is quite small and hard to read already, and this flaw is not helping. Complaint #3: it appears that the toner cartridge has an electronic chip in it. This prevents third parties from selling replacements, you have to buy the HP cartridge. Around $105 at this writing.
Otherwise, a fabulous printer. After enduring two defective printers (Brother and Lexmark) I am very pleased. The print quality is terrific. In a week of use, I have not experienced any paper jams. I have printed lots of double-sided and legal size. No issues. The printer if fast. Unlike every other printer I have used, this one has a 5 GHz WiFI radio. In my home, the 5 GHz network is very much faster than the 2.4 GHz network.
This is not a cheap printer, so I have to hope that it will last a few years at least. Looking at and squeezing the various plastic parts of the printer, it all seems like average quality consumer electronics to me. Thin, cheap plastic for the most part, but certainly not out of the ordinary. I am cautiously optimistic.

Good laser printer
Douglas Smith✓ Verified Purchase•June 30, 2023
This is a good b/w laser printer with duplexing and network connectivity. This replaced my M402 which had network issues (bad NIC?) after 7 years.
