I had a HP 2300 and an older Xerox color laser. The color laser was a larger machine and the HP was still working perfectly after many, many years of use. I decided to replace both with one printer, basically to make room on my desk. We have a small business and I print checks and reports on a regular basis. I absolutely love this printer! It's fast and prints beautifully, nor is it extremely large. It's the perfect fit for me and my purposes. I can't believe how extremely happy I am with this printer!

.. how can HP continue to produce printers where the cost to replace the ink cartridges is more than the cost of the printer. It seems it's cheaper to throw out the printer and get a new one rather than replace the cartridges.
Don't get me wrong, this printer is many time better than the 2605DN I replaced.

I was tired of having two printers, one B&W laser and a color inkjet (that I didn't use too much because I didn't want to use up the cartridges!). At work they had an HP color LaserJet and I really got to like having everything printed in color. So I bought the M451nw and have never regretted it. The manual form feed is really great, much better than the "slot" I had on the prior printer. The first page is reasonably fast to print and any remaining pages after that are very fast. I thought the size of this color LaserJet was also very good (meaning small) especially when you aren't getting the automatic duplex mode. I don't use duplex too much and when I need it the printer dialog walks you through it each time and really makes it easy. Using the printer menu options allows most everything to be programmed such as sleep mode, power down mode, etc. allowing you to customize the settings to your liking. I also like the ability to easily clear jams, although I have only had one so far, so this is not a big problem. I would recommend reading the whole manual up front - it makes everything easier, especially for a printer that does this much.

This was by far the easiest wireless network printer on the market. I paid a lot more on other wireless printers and HP was far the best. I love the way you can print from practually anywhere in the world. Nice job HP!

I did my homework. I looked at virtually every company and read probably 100 or so reviews of different laser printers. I scored a deal on this printer with a coupon and I could not have been happier. I upgraded to this from a HP inkjet that finally broke on me after 7 years of continual use. After reading all the reviews, this machine was by far the best deal, best performance, best reviews, and was geared for personal/ small business use for the money I wanted to spend. I did not want a huge machine, but I also did not want something that printed in only black and lagged performance.
The network connection worked perfectly with my router and IMAC.
**Be careful of the model you buy. This model, M451NW comes with wireless connectivity, but lacks automatic duplexing. It allows for manual duplexing, which is fine with me, but other people have made buying mistakes. The M451DN gives duplexing, but lacks wireless connectivity. The M451DW is the third and most expensive, because it incorporates automatic duplexing plus the wireless feature. Be careful which model you buy and read all the specs clearly**
The toner cartridges are more expensive than inkjet at first, but you get more pages out of them than inkjet. Also, you do not need to worry about print-heads drying out on the laser printer. You may fork out a little more in the beginning, but over time you will not be wasting money on cartridges that dry out because you were away for a couple of weeks...
Overall, I am extremely happy with my HP machine and I will never go back to inkjet. I recommend it to anyone.

Needed a replacement for the 2605dn. The 451dn does the job, with a number of improvements and only one negative.
Much quicker. Excellent color. Paper comes out nice and "flat" - the older printer would "bend" the paper, no matter which side was printed on. The 451 does not print letters quite as crisp, but you have to use a font with really fine serifs in order to notice. Excellent coverage / margins. Shipment was quick, arrived in two days.
Best surprise: Set up with both USB to printer and Ethernet to Apple AirPort and even after turning the computer off, when I returned home from work an attachment sent to my HP Eprint address was printed and waiting for review. And when close enough for your home network, many programs on my Apple iPod have a "print" option and I can print direct from the program to the printer without having to download or even turn the computer on.
Only small problem is that it is a bit noisy during printing (have it just a few feet from my keyboard), making a whirring noise and a "beep" as it prints each page. Worth it for the high value of this model.

Printer was set up by our IT folks as a wireless device only. A few uses so far have been positive with good quality printing. Able to use with our terminal server via the wireless setup and then also able to print via iPad.

Had to replace my HP2300 when it took a dive finally, and the inkjet was acting like, well, an inkjet. Decided to toss em both and go for color laser. I wanted wireless so I could just plug it in somewhere in my house without the need to run cables (other than power). Fits great, looks great, prints great. Can't seem to turn off color on a per print basis, but that's not a significant issue. Setup was a breeze but I am an IT professional so ymmv.

This is by far the best printer I have ever owned. The print quality is excellent and it is pretty fast when printing multiple pages. When only printing one single page it is probably no faster than my inkjet, but multiple pages is much faster. The wireless printing is very nice, I can print from my laptop or smartphone from anywhere in the house. My only complaint about the printer is the paper tray. If you always use letter size paper it works fine, however if you want to use legal size paper the paper tray sticks out a couple inches. There is then a chance of snagging the tray with something, as well as it just doesn't look that neat and tidy.

Was not disappointed at all with this printer. It prints very quickly and the color quality is very good. I have this connected to my wireless network, setup was very easy. I have used HP laser printers for years at work both black and white as well as color and they were higher end printers than this one. Bottom line is that I can't see a difference in print quality. If you are thinking about purchasing this printer, buy it. You won't be sorry that you did. I'm not.

I absolutely love my new printer. It prints in wonderful quality and I don't have to wait to get the print out... it starts printing almost instantly. Calibration has never interrupted me needing to print something... and I think I only noticed it calibrating once. It is an incredible printer. I haven't had to switch the toner yet, so I am happy with that also.
