This printer replaces my dying 20 yr old LJ-4M. it is very easy to set up on my home network, which consist of Windows XP desktop, Windows 7 desktop, Windows 7 laptop, and MB-Pro. The Mac and laptop connects wirelessly as well as my iPhone 4s. The double sided printing is fast and a welcome addition. Some people say this printer is loud. I can live with its sound because it lets me know when the print job starts and ends. I remember the old dot matrix printers. Now they were annoyingly loud printers. Good work HP. I just hope it last as long as my LJ-4M did.

This is an excellent printer!
This printer is fast and the print quality is excellent. I had been shopping for a new Laser Printer for some time. When I saw this printer included network and automatic duplexing at this price point, it was a done deal.
The first day after I purchased the printer, I printed over 500 pages double-sided and it was fast.
I would definitely recommend this printer to others.

I replaced a HP 1300 that I had been using for ca 8 years. The new printer does everything that the HP 1300 could do, and I am pleased with my recent purchase.

This replaced my aging HP 2200D. It has all the features I was interested in: duplex, LAN, quick start. In addition it was a snap to install and configure. I also found it to be easy to reconfigure for specialty jobs (e.g. printing on 4x6 card stock).

This is a great little printer. It is extremely fast, it is a little noisy, but acceptable, and the double-sided automatic printing feature is wonderful. The print quality is exceptional, for the price paid. I teach at a local community college. This printer will save me a lot of money on paper by double-printing student handouts.

Using this printer as a networked printer, it has performed flawlessly out of the box. The automatic duplexing, fast operation, sharp images and relative quietness are all positives (compared to my noisy, firmware glitch-laden Photosmart C309). The only negative that I have encountered is difficulty properly duplexing when using my Vista laptop. It works perfectly with my Windows 7 PC, however.

Terrific everyday black and white printer. HP is right-on when it states that the first page prints in 7 seconds. Auto-duplexing is great and is very flexible for printing non-consecutive pages in a document. Installation was a breeze.

Needed a LaserJet printer with built-in 10-base-t network connection. This unit fits the bill and has a nice small footprint for small office desktop use. Somewhat noisy in the fast mode, but the noise stops quickly due to the speed of the printer. The quiet mode is much quieter, but the speed is significantly reduced by more than half. At least you have the choice. Build quality is typical for this low end printer, but I suspect is will hold up okay in a small office environment.

All of our reports finally print properly! Unit is small, has some neat features we're enjoying & is easy to install & use. I only wish it were wireless. The features we like are the second paper tray and the quick, quiet printing. the download for the PCL5e was easy to find & install too.

For the past several years my working printer for text has been the HP Laserjet 1320, a ;printer that I would recommend to anyone. I was working on a set of two XP based computers, but for lots of reasons I had to buy a Windows 7 computer. The problem was that my new computer wouldn't install the 1320 either from the Disk or from the drivers I downloaded from the HP website. And thus I was caught in the Catch 22 of the technical support industry. Microsoft wouldn't help because Windows 7 was an OEM installation on my computer, Toshiba wouldn't help because the printer was a "third party" product and you couldn't help because you don't deal with others' software problems. Everybody invited me to buy help. I bought a printer instead. The 1606dn is comparable to the 1320. Think it's a little flimsier in construction and noisier in operation, But it does what I need, is fast enough for my work and has an automatic duplexer. In the world of wishes, I wish it would handle legal sized paper, but that's my only complaint. Works well.

I ordered this to replace a MFP so I miss the scanner, but I was impressed with the ease of setup. Network printers were especially simple to install. I did not buy this printer because it had eprint capabilities, but I love the feature. Much easier and cheaper than any other solution to print from my tablet

What more could I ask for? I plugged it in, it ran all the software necessary to get it running and I'm ready to go. It prints fast with nice detail and shuts off to conserve power. I use it for my business and it prints about 70 pages a day, perfectly. I cannot think of anything more I could ask for from a printer. I've never said this before but this is the perfect printer.

It is OK. But if you wish to use wireless feature, you will be disappointed. I have not configured ePrint yet. But remember it is not wireless. I was confused by the ePrint.

I upgraded from an HP 4M that was a real workhorse. Obviously better with Network capability, two sided copy and speed all being vast improvements.
