This LaserJet is even better than the last one we had. It is slightly smaller, quieter, produces great copies and was very reasonable especially with the coupon. It was also extremely easy to set up. I would recommend this to everyone.

I chose this printer because of the high reviews. However, after installing it as instructed, I can get 2-3 jobs done before the printer freezes and won't print my documents. I then have to restart my computer as it won't cancel the current jobs. This is the third HP printer we've had in our office that does this. I'm not sure why it's so had to build a printer that stays connected to the computer as it should.

I recently purchased and iMac and to print my business docs I purchased this printer. After 2 calls to HP and numerous hours trying to figure out what is wrong I'm at a dead end. This printer is advertised as printing 35 wpm. The one I have I'm lucky if it prints 5 pages per minute. I have tried all types of configurations and Adobe Acrobat, even converting the PDF files to word, then it prints maybe 10 sheets per minute. I was assured by the marketing department that this printer would work with my model iMac, they obviously don't know the limits of their products.

I was very happy with both the functionality and features this printer has. The only thing that I was somewhat disappointed in is more related to our environment. I was told this was the replacement model for the 2035n which we used for payroll printing on preprinted paperstock. The paper feed and the side the printing goes onto is different for the manual feed tray. Great printer but had that issue in our environment. I would recommend it, speed is good, not overly loud, and functions well

As a Mac using, type junkie, communications designer, I'm glad I chose this model and not a home-office model. Blacks are rich, type is crisp, and it's speedy. Although I print sparingly it's great to see this kind of professional result when needed. Like it better than my old 2420; printing quality seems more like my old 5MP which was a great machine. Only reason I didn't give it four stars is that I've had it less than a month, but so far, so fine.

Since we use the Ethernet connection I like the fact that the LCD screen shows the address in ready mode. This a great aid when doing setup. I setup and maintain the printers with the browser interface.
We use several of these for printing A5 card stock on the factory floor. They do the job OK, but we do find the paper pickup assembly wears out twice a year. I think we ask a lot from such a small printer.
Also loading the driver is easier that it used to be.
I would recommend this printer.

Good option if you don't want to spend a lot of money. Construction is not as heavy duty as I am used to, plastic feels cheap; however, this printer was considerably cheaper!

I am very pleased with the set-up/install of the printer along with the features. We upgraded from the Brother HL5370DW to this one and have not looked back since!
Thank you, HP!!

I had this printer for two weeks. The original install under Lion OS was a little rough, but worked. Then I upgraded to Mountain Lion. Unplug the printer to re-arrange some cables and all of the settings lost. OK, just re-install - right? WRONG. First the install disk starts with OS not supported. Nothing on web support in the way of software for an OS that has sold 3 million copies in a few weeks!. Then, the printer starts generating IP addresses that are not with in the router's range, will not connect even after manually setting TCP/IP parameters. HP Web support had no help for this problem and HP does not provide support for this printer over the weekend. I should not have to reconfigure my entire network to suit one printer. Problem solved - took it back to where it was purchased and got my money back. Perhaps I will try again after HP can provide adequate support for Mountain Lion. Untill then, back to my trusty HP 4000 dinosaur. I am really dissapointed with HP on this issue. You either really love HP (HP 10C, 11C, 41 CX, 48GX, LJ4000) or hate HP (this printer).

Print quality is high. Holds nice amount of paper. Prints quickly, boots up very fast on initial print. Reasonably priced, this printer is good for a small home office or even a small networked office environment. Plus I like the fact it does not have many bells and whistles -- I don't need scanning and faxing, etc. It just prints, which is what I need it to do.

I received the printer promptly. It was very easy to set up. It works extremely well. Printed pages come through with excellent defintion and the output is very speedy. This is a printer which I use in my law practice and it is a genuine asset to my work. I recommend it to anyone who needs a fast speed monochrome laser printer which performs very well.

I replaced an HP 1220 that I had for many years and worked great, but I wanted wireless and more speed. Got it with this printer. Do not like the paper trays because you have to open up the manual feed tray or the main tray to print checks/labels, etc. Instead of just placing the paper right in the tray. Just an extra step. It is also a little noisey.
