Rated 5 out of 5 by from WORSE PRINTER EVER!!! Scan to email does NOT work. I get an error once I setup the email settings, "Error. Test failed due to a printer error. Try again after sometime." What does "Try again after sometime" mean???!!! I've tried for 2 weeks now, still not able to scan to email. It took a few days to figure out why it wasn't scanning at all. Why does a MFP not scan or scan to email??? What's the point?

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great performance, easy set up I have been using this printer for a couple of weeks now, and I am very impressed. My 13 year old son unboxed and set it all up for me. He didn’t have any issues and it works perfectly. Compared to my last printer, I’m happy with the design and functions of this printer. It is fast and the print outs are high quality. The scanning feature was seamless with my Mac, and even did double sided scans with ease. I’m a very happy customer.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Printer-Hands down Purchased this printer becuase it had all the features we were looking for - duplex print and scan were the top two. We were also tired of having to throw out printers because the print heads dried out with inkjet. I was really able to put this printer to the test over the last 5 weeks when I had to work from home. Everything worked great...except one flaw...the print driver does not allow for you to change the print quality! Over the 5 weeks of working from home I ran through an entire set of toner, to the tun of almost $450.00!...this seems like a huge expensive issue with the driver! I have never had a printer where I was unable to adjust the print quality; I have always owned HP printers; again, this has never been an issue! Albeit, the prints are extremely nice and on par. The ONLY thing holding this review back from a 5 star is the lack of being able to change the print quality! HP PLEASE FIX THIS DRIVER!!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Scan to computer feature is not available in mac. Just brought this printer today and got it set up. few things really caught my attention. 1. The set up doesn't have auto detective. For example, setting up fax. it will ask you do you use modern, voice phone, distinctive tone, or DSL or dail up, etc... while other company do auto setup. It will be very difficult for people who doesn't have knowledge on fax. 2. This printer doesn't support scan to computer on mac, which will cause user have to scan it manually from the computer. It is time consuming and back and force from computer to printer. But this function is available on windows, I don't understand why they do that. It is not they don't have the technology, they have this technology on other printers. I have HP inject 8610 printer which I can scan to my computer (mac). This really bring this high end printer to the bottom. I am thinking about returning it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Quality Printer! I’m very happy with this printer! I’ve been using it for my home office for two months now and it has worked seamlessly. Setup was simple and took around 25 minutes. Fast user friendly touchscreen Is great. Great performance while printing and scanning. Handles 2 sided scanning like a champ. My only gripe is with the cooling fan. The fan can run a little loud, but it’s easily fixed by putting the printer on sleep mode. Overall A++ printer!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Routine printing, but not on thick paper. This is a polite suggestion to any user of a laser printer. Be skeptical of the alleged abilities to duplex print, or print on thicker paper such as post cards or glossy paper. Any belt (roller) driven printer will jam! I owned the HP Pro 500: I was forced to literally take it apart many times to retrieve jammed paper, and manually clean the belt and roller. So I switched to the Dell C3765, but I was naive to believe that I could print on glossy paper, and of course, it jammed. Now, operating the HP Pro 479, I will NEVER risk doing anything more than routine printing.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fast printing, more than enough for college! I am both a college student and a Real Estate agent on the side. I have to constantly print out unique sizes of paper, such as notecards, envelopes, A4, and legal. This printer allows me to do both at a moment's notice, and the print quality has set apart my resumes. I would recommend this over an ink printer and the value for both the printer and toner is very convenient.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Beautiful Images I have been wanting a laser printer a long time. This one by HP has surpassed everything I expected. This has many capabilities. Holds lots of paper, has easy to understand instructions. The setup was super easy and has been working perfectly. Its a heavy machine, but sturdy and seems to be made to last. I was very surprised at how quick it can print and scan. Has a compartment that makes it really easy to change toner. My favorite is how great the images are with this machine. Beautiful detailed images that are of great quality and bright. Very clear pictures. Perfect for office needs, crafts where I need a printer or just printing quality pictures. Best printer I have ever had.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Laser jets have come a long way Multi functional is the right way to describe this as it does everything. It’s pretty fast compared to our old inkjet. Hoping the ink last longer than ink jets. Quality of the printouts are such much better than inkjets.

This thing is amazing. The print quality is absolutely stunning. I've been using it for a few weeks now and have had zero issues. It's very easy to use and I'm so happy I bought it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Scanner Feature Does Not Install! I bought this Multi Function Printer (MFP) 3 weeks ago and no matter what I tried, including an OS factory restore/recovery of my laptop (Spectre x360, Product #4HG39AV_1), the scanning feature will NOT install. I have 2 of these (identical) laptops purchased in January 2019. Both laptops have the EXACT SAME scanning problems. My Spectre laptops are running Win-10 Home, v1903 (OS build 18362.295). As a former IT and network integration consultant for over 15 yrs (and a former authorized HP reseller), I know quite a bit about troubleshooting. I have tried everything to meet the challenge and beat the problem. I lost! It cost me wasting over 60+ hrs of my life! I have even posted a problem report on HP's support forum. I got the canned response to uninstall, then re-install. Scan function still does not work! I then posted back on the forum specific error messages and even gave them a link to my PDF file which contained installation screen shots. No one from HP (or anyone else, for that matter) ever followed up. My support posting remains unresolved as of this date. This is a brand new product from HP, released in July 2019. It was an upgrade/update to the M477 MFP version printer. I've downloaded and installed the latest/updated driver: CLJM478f-M479f_UWWL_Full_WebPack_48.2.4526.exe No luck.! When I launch the desktop icon for the HP Scan, then click the action button to scan, I get the error dialog box that says "The scanner failed to complete the scan. Verify that the scan feature is enabled on the device." When I try to scan using the printer's Embedded Web Server (EWS), I get the error message "You cannot use this function because it has been disabled. For more information, contact the person who setup the printer." I am the IT TekHead who did the installation! I then ran the HP Print and Scan Doctor v5.2.1. It reported: "Out of Paper." "Please load the paper into the input tray to print." The paper tray was full!!! This printer & its installation software has failed on so many levels including proper and comprehensive testing and quality control! My conclusion is that this HP printer scanning feature absolutely will not properly install on my new HP laptops and that this device is not ready for market. The print function does work and I can use the printer's control panel to copy a document from the flatbed or the automatic document feeder. Now about the FAX feature... during the software/driver installation routine, I opted to Skip the FAX setup wizard as I don't have a landline. Guess what!!! There is a Fax device icon in: Control Panel => Devices and Printers The icon's text reads: Fax - HP Color LaserJet Pro M478f-9f . Regarding the device's touch LCD panel... I came across instructions how to remove (drag-drop) an unwanted icon (in my case, Fax) off of the display. Guess what doesn't happen? Can't remove the Fax icon. Then I came across a web site notation that to remove an icon from the LCD panel, use the Embedded Web Server. But they didn't mention how to do it. Guess what I cannot locate on the EWS how to do this, and the printer's documentation has no mention about this icon removal feature.? I don't want or need the visual pollution of a Fax icon on the LCD panel. This is a business class LaserJet. I finally threw in the towel and decided that, after 60+ hrs of troubleshooting, it's time to give up and let HP solve the problems it created in this product development. Today, being Saturday, the LaserJet tech supt phone line is closed! Everything reported above is factual with no exaggeration or subjective observations. And HP is lucky that I kept my emotional sentiments & statements out of this review. - TekHead Howie -

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Three in One From Box to Printing in under 15 Min!! I am so impressed with how easy this printer was to set up. Took it out, plugged it in, and it downloaded quickly to my computer. The ink is already Installed so no extra work needed. 1) We own a business and have used different scanners in the past and this is so much quicker. From scan to download is almost instantaneous. 2) Print quality is great. 3) Can be accessed through my desktop or mobile device. Only been a couple days so far but I can tell this is going to be a great addition to my home office!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great print quality - when it can print. Purchased this for our business to replace a 6yo HP LaserJet printer that had served diligently the entire time without issue. In two weeks of operation, it has locked down with an error code on three different occasions. One of those times there was a paper jam in the back of the device and the issue was quickly corrected. The other two times it just refused to leave Error Mode even after multiple reboots. No jams were located, nothing was changed - it just decided to not work for half an hour.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from BEWARE: Not fully compatible with Mac I bought this a few weeks ago when it was on sale and was told it was fully compatible with Mac. Most of the features work if you are operation from your computer, but if you try to scan from the machine and save to the computer, it does not work. I spoke to both HP and Apple about it and no solution :( If anyone can help me, I am all ears! Hopefully an update will fix it as I will most likely keep the machine as it works for 90% of what I do. It is just an annoyance.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from WOW What an upgrade So first I have to say WOW! This is one heck of a printer! This printer has it all! Very very sturdy, Easy to learn, and just all in all great! Once I hooked it up the first thing I did was hooked it up to both of my computers and both hooked up sooo easy! I had a little issues with the drivers downloading on my laptop but once I did the manual setup I had no issues at all. The set up was such a breeze! This does have a little weight to it so if you have back issues or any other kind of issues, I would suggest having someone else moving it for you. Honestly I can see this one lasting a long time! I will be referring everyone into getting this printer! GREAT ALL AROUND. Pros: Very sturdy Prints very fast once warmed up Connects to phones easy Holds a lot of paper The pictures/letters print very nicely the colors are very true to color you put see in the picture/letter you are printing Ink is very easy to get to Easy to move if you need to Cons: Does take a little time to wake up and warm up A little loud but nothing to unbearable

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A Solid and Well-Designed MFP We had three machines. We had one for scanning, one for making copies and another to do our general printing. Our new MFP replaces them all.

Buying directly through HP was also a great experience. The salesperson was friendly and knowledgeable. She made sure this new MFP would be compatible with our older Apple OS. We got a great price due to the sale. Shipping was also free through UPS. We had it in only four days.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from crisp print! Just installed this week. I had concerns from hooking up printer/scanners in the past, but downloading the HP drivers was a snap. To my amazement the scanner even works! The printed docs come out crisp and clean. I do not have a landline so I cannot rate the FAX feature.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from MFP M479fdw is the worst printer/scanner ever made I have not found a computer that is compatible with this printer. After several days I was able to get the printer installed and working. The scanner still is unusable. There does not appear to be any way to make the scanner work correctly. None of the HP software provided or on the HP website works correctly.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A hint for easy set up I've only had this wireless laser a little over a week but I'm very pleased with the ease of use so far. I couldn't get it set up properly the first couple days due to my poor internet service which has nothing to do with the laser printer. So my advice is be sure your internet connection is good BEFORE you attempt the online set up. Once that was corrected the initial printer set up on a Mac was a piece of cake.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very nice printer My old Color LaserJet broke after many years of service. With HP's 50th anniversary sale, this printer was less expensive that repair and toner for the old printer. It also has enough functionality that I could retire my multifunction inkjet. Installation was easy and everything works as expected. I test printed a photo on some glossy laser paper and also on some glossy photo paper on my inkjet. The printout from the laser printer was OK, but not as good as the printout from the inkjet printer. I will keep the inkjet for occasional photo prints but use the new laser printer for other things.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Full featured MFP with a compact price Have had the printer for less than a week, but setup was a snap after I followed the directions on the display. I would have preferred not to have had to download the massive software/driver bundle, but I read about others having difficulty with drivers/installation, so I just did the full setup. Most of the negative reviews I read prior to purchase were related to installation after that, many commented how expensive toner was. Toner replacements cost more than the printer. It will literally be cheaper to buy a new printer when toner is needed. Having used more expensive printers, I would prefer the display functions to be more robust. They are very limited in that you cannot control a lot from the display & you have to adjust settings from the software on your PC of which there are so many different applications, it is difficult to know where to go. At last count, I have 5 shortcuts on my desktop just for this printer's software and there are numerous redundancies & overlap. One strange issue is the system differentiates between scan to network folder vs scan to computer, but I see no capability to setup a network folder. Full setup puts this printer on the cloud which is a really useful feature, but if you change the printer's email address & permissions, it takes ~24 hours for the changes to take effect.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A great printer - maybe... I bought the HP printer as a replacement for an older Okidata MFP printer. This printer has outstanding print quality both for text and pictures. And even though it is not listed as a photo printer, in a pinch I have printed a few and it provided very, very good results. And, it is surprising how fast it delivers the first page and the following pages. . OK, that's all the good stuff. Now, for the 'not so good'... and HP is not going to like this assessment. Toner cartridges are actually outrageously priced. The printer comes with 'starter cartridges' good for, I think, a few thousand prints. If they were to all run out at the same time, and you had to buy new ones from the HP site, you would spend upwards of $877.00 for high capacity cartridges. Granted the high capacity cartridges are good for 6,000 to 7,000 pages, but still, it would seem to be less expensive to buy a new printer and then scrap it when it needs cartridges. And at almost $900.00 for 6,000 prints, each page costs you close to $0.15. If you want 'Standard' cartridges, good for 2,100-2,400 pages, they will cost you $415.00. I don't know about you, but to me that's a LOT of money. And, like most laser printer toner cartridges, they have a 'chip' in them that counts the pages, etc. Except in the case of this printer (which may be common these days, I don't know) it must be a proprietary chip of some sort as the user guide says that if it detects a non-HP cartridge it won't print, or some words like that. As a result, at the time I write this (08/2019) there are NO compatible cartridges available. So, in the end, I'm not sure how to give this printer a rating. As a printer, it's great, but as a purchase, I'm not so sure.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Laser printer I bought this printer a few weeks ago to replace an older Hp laser printer that had stopped picking up paper from the tray. The cost to repair would of been close to $200 so it made sense to buy new. The printer started out working fine but after printing a few labels I started to get black streaks intermittently. I hope this is not a diffuser problem. I will be calling ho support today or tomorrow. The paper is correct and I ran all the checks. The best thing about this printer so far is the easy set up. I downloaded the drivers turned on the printer used the printer display to connect to my WiFi and bam it connects. I can print from my iPhone easily as well. I hope the black streaks is nothing serious. Maybe it’s just the black toner cartridge that came with the unit.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy to set up, great performance! The HP Color LaserJet Pro is the first laser printer I have ever owned. So far, I am very impressed. It was easy to set up and connect to wirelessly from our computers. The print quality is outstanding, and the document is printed by the time I walk over to the machine, so it is quick. There are no smudges, the colors are vibrant and blacks are clean and dark. The printer weighs almost 60 lbs, so if you're unable to lift that amount safely, have a buddy help you unbox it. It is larger and bulkier than the inkjet printers we have used in the past, but the real estate it takes up is worth it. Before, we would have to replace toner in our other printers quite frequently. This laserjet printer looks like it will print around 2000 prints per cartridge, which is amazing. It may be years before we need to replace them. This printer is perfect for small to medium business, and home office use. documents are printed well, resolution is great, and the printer is quick and quiet. I highly recommend this printer for those on the market for a new one. It's very easy to set up and use right out of the box. We didn't run into any glitches at all, and again, the quality of the prints is fantastic!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from No Quality Control on Production I actually returned the machine 3 times and on the 3rd time I told them I wanted my money back. The first one kept cherping as if buttons were being pressed when no one was using the machine. The second on you would press scan and get half way through the scan process and the meching would go back to the home screen. The thrid one would not line up with the drivers. After having an HP2320 for 9 years and a MFP476dn for 4 years this is a big let down. Customer service was so poor that issues got worse so I had to hit the reset factory settings. they should have paid me for all the hassel, lost time and wasted paper.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from null This printer is bigger than what we thought it would be, but its not huge by any means. Just know it takes up some desk space. The ease of connecting this to our network and using it was an amazing experience, we were up and running in about 3 min. We have it connected via eithernet connection to our wireless router. We can print docs from our phone and any computer connected to the wireless router. It also has wifi, so we can send it that way also. We absolutely love the prints this puts out and the double sided printing is so nice, major time saver. The touch screen is very responsive and is laid out very nicely, very user friendly. If this printer broke today would we buy another one the answer would be yes!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great design, but defective drivers/software. Great design for a laser printer and I may get the additional third paper tray. However, I can't really speak on the print quality. I say that because this printer has defective print drivers/software as of now. Currently, anyone who tries to use this printer is unable to select a print quality option. I reached out to HP and confirmed that this is an issue due to a poor driver. We tried installing the UPD which allowed us to select a print quality option, but the choices were limited and uncommon. Usually, you have draft, normal and best selections for example. This is disappointing for me since I now have to wait for a driver update before using my new printer. I understand this is a new release, but this product should not have been released without a fully working driver/software. That is why I can only give this printer 2 stars.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great except setup I learned the hard way that there is an M479 driver and an M478f-9f driver. For this guy you need the 8f-9f driver. Getting some of the settings right took a little bit, I ended up doing factory reset more than once, but it was probably not required, just the way I got there. Now that it is all setup the way I want it, it is working great. The ADF scanner is awesome in that it can save out to my QNAP nas (I had to specify the IP Address of the nas, not the name to make it happy, but that was easy enough).

Rated 5 out of 5 by from It wasn't exactly what I expected Generally speaking, I am a pretty tech savvy person. I have had this printer for just over a week and still have not quite figured out how to set up the scanner properly, have had issues printing different types of papers without creating paper-jams and have been thoroughly disappointing by the paper trays. In order to use the second tray included the front of the printer has to remain open. I really like printing from both standard letter as well as statement size paper for a variety of reasons so I was hoping to have 2 trays, 1 with each paper, which the printer could simply switch between depending on which I chose when printing a document, it does NOT work that easily. It will do what I need it for but it def. is not living up to my expectations.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great value at a great price! I bought the previous generation of this printer for a family member two years ago. It's worked flawlessly in its multifunction capacities—printer, scanner, fax, copier. I was at a point where I needed to replace my aging color laser printer (Samsung CLP-620ND) and standalone scanner. I didn't hesitate to order this printer knowing how well my family member's had performed. I was pleased to find HP was running a sale. So, my first delight was the $200 discount. I love the small footprint of this machine, the affordable yet modestly sized toner cartridges, and the intuitive software and controls. I plugged this machine into my network and phone line and was faxing and printing in under 5 minutes. I highly recommend this multifunction machine. It's a great value at a great price!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Does NOT stay connected to network, plus more! Toner cartridges are super EXPENSIVE - research this before purchasing. Scans are CROOKED! I bought this for the scan to network folder with multiple page per PDF feature. I can NOT connect to network every time I go to use this printer. I have contacted tech support over 10 times. They would change this setting and that setting and get it working. I go to use it again & it doesn't connect. I have reset to factory default many times. For it to work, I have to turn off and reboot the printer. Then, I have to keep hitting scan to folder at least 10 times and then it will finally miraculously connect. This is used for a business. I can't spend all this time every time I want to use the printer. I usually just scan to a USB memory stick and manually transfer the files to the computer. I use my other two laser printers for my printing. COVID happened & now I'm stuck with this expensive piece of equipment.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Pleased so far I purchased this multi-function printer for a home office. We previoulsy used an Epson inkjet multifunction which needed to be replaced. I wanted a color laser printer and ended up selecting the HP M479. I've been using it for a week and am very pleased so far. Set up was simple. For my iMac, I followed the instructions provided to set up through the HP website. I also connected it to a PC - even easier since the computer recognized the printer and set it up by itself. I've printed from three computers as well as my phone (all wirelessly - I have not used a hardwired connection) without any issues. The printer wakes up, prints the job, and goes back into standby a short while later. I have this located in a closet to keep it out of sight. Heat buildup isn't a problem when in standby and during printing of our relatively small print jobs. Haven't used the scanner other than to test it during installation - worked fine. Noise level is good - about as expected for a laser printer.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Upgraded to Laser I bought this during the Stay-at-home because my Epson ink-jet multi-function was malfunctioning again. I got tired of buying printers every 2-3 years only to have them do something that makes them non-usable. So, I decided to spend the money on a bigger better machine that should last me the next 10 years with all the ink it holds. And color too! My family couldn't be happier that I bit the bullet and just did it! Yea me! So far so good and everyone at home can print from phone, tablet, laptop, and desktops. Still figuring out the chromebook but since that is schools, they may have some restrictions on what can be used. So far so good. I was a bit disappointed that the price I got was supposed to be discounted through our teacher website, but then I saw same unit at office depot for the same price on sale as well. Not so much of an educator discount.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Printer w/automatic 14" double-sided scannig I searched a long time for a printer with the features of the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M479fdw. All printers print; The hard to find "game changing" feature I was looking for was automatic 8 12" by 14" double-sided ADF scanning and 8 12" by 14" flat bed scanning. The former capability this printer has; the latter, it does not. It has an 8 12" by 11" flat bed scanning capability. Trying to find this out in the literature was impossible. This was the only shortfall, so I let it slide since I could get by 98% of the time with the ADF capability. . The other required printing capabilities were: laser, color, duplexing, and wireless .The faxing capability was not a requirement for me.

I purchased this because I wanted to be able to print from both my Mac and Windows laptop. HP Easy setup was not as easy as it is supposed to be. My husband could not get the printer to work and is still trying to configure his laptop to be compatible with this printer even though he downloaded the proper software, etc. I got my Mac to work but I thought the color laser would be crisp however the color on the printout is faded looking and light compared to my previous HP inkjet printer. And last but not least, it is supposed to be wireless and I have it right next to my router and yet it takes forever for the printer to receive the information and begin printing. I'm not impressed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best of the Bunch! This is by far the BEST printer I ever purchased. (Purchased directly from HP) I liked it so much that I bought the mid-range model for my home office while quarantined during the pandemic. No problems with installation as I used the USB printer cable to load the software and drivers and then connected it to wireless. The one at work is Windows 10 based and the one at home is Mac iOS. They both work flawlessly. Very happy with speed and output. I did have one minor issue with paper selection but HP support was able to correct my setting and get me going again. I have used Dell, Brother, and Canon printers in the past but I am very pleased with these HP printers and highly recommend them.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great, but M477fdw "Printer Offline" hard to fix I bought Laserjet M477fdw March 2019. Struggled with "Printer Offline" messages. Have spent many hours working on this, or I would give it a 5. HP said run Scan Doctor 5.3.0. Didn't work. HP Community said use Scan Doctor 5.0.5. That fixed it by changing a WSD port to a TCP/IP port. (And Printer & Scanner are now listed separately on devices page - who knows why- but it works.) And, separately, "very low toner" messages interfere on screen. Finally found place in manual to change that, after a hint from the HP community. If you are a sophisticated user then don't hesitate to buy this very nice machine. Or (like me) it will be an opportunity to learn about ports, and about the HP Community page.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great printer I'm very happy with the printer. It was easy to set up and the toner was already installed, which was nice. The feature I appreciate most (and the primary reason for buying this model) is the ability to scan and print double-sided automatically. I had an HP deskjet that was very slow, and this LaserJet is much, much faster. Toner is not cheap, but I expect that in the long term it will be much less expensive than the ink was for my old printer. It was a bit heavy to remove from the box and place next to my PC, but I was aware of that when I bought it, and I do not expect to have to move it. I bought an extended warranty (HP CarePack), which I would recommend - if a printer needs repair, this is the way to go. My only issue is that I had expected an email within 30 days from HP with instructions on registering the CarePack, and that never came. I had to call them to get that registered - you don't want to have to be dealing with that a year down the road when and if it needs service! (Finding the purchase order number, etc., can be a real hassle if you're not well-organized.) Overall, I am extremely happy with my purchase - I've been an HP fan for decades, because the make superior printers IMHO.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Loaded with Features. Still some bugs This printer is the highest rated, best feature-packed printer we could find. Air printing (works great!); automatic duplex printing and coping, four color with individual toners; fax to computer; scanning. And it is MUCH quieter than the CP4025 it replaced. However, it has bugs that keep me troubleshooting my brand-new printer! The HP support is terrific. But it takes up valuable working time to get the help. I will say that we just bought a second one, and the set up and use has been markedly easier. Hopefully HP will figure out the trouble on the first one, and we will be able to enjoy the purchases. One last note - the toner is VERY expensive. They are half the size of the CP4025, and cost just as much.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great multi function printer! Replaced an older multi function printer with the new HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M479fdw. The drivers were easy to install and as other HP function controls, the printer was easy to work to do my printing tasks such as printing documents and scanning to email in black and white or color. I am also able to use other computers in the area (including a Mac) to print when added to our small network. The paper feeder for those multi page print and scan jobs is a time saver as well. The air print function is a dream come true for doing those quick needed copies straight from my iPhone or iPad. The Fax machine portion of this MFP printer was also easy to set-up and runs smoothly.

I have used an all-in-one inkjet printer for more over 10 years, and was hesitant to try a laserjet, but the MFP M479fdw performs every function of an all-in-one printer, prints double-sided copies (a must for me), and the print quality is much better than most printers. It prints very quietly, and one of my favorite features is that the printed material remains in an inner tray rather than printing to an outside tray that can sometimes allow the documents to dispense out of order. This is a very upscale printer for a very reasonable price!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Short Life Span I bought this model a year ago (13 months) and have used it a few times a month, for small print jobs. After using it successfully last week, I attempted to use it again, but realized it was off. Upon turning it on, I realized it didn't power up. I have tried several power outlets, and even a new cord. I have gone through the trouble shooting options, and after hours on the phone with support, I have been told to call a service tech, for which I will be liable to pay for out of pocket. I need a printer for my work from home position, so I will be buying a new printer. Definitely not this one though! It did work for the 13 months I had it: hence the two stars.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Meh For starters, there are no drivers downloads from HP's site for this printer and Windows 10. I tried printing in color on Avery labels and the results were marginal; the toner bleeds to other parts of the label sheet. In other words, it doesn't print cleanly. The feeder doesn't work when you're trying to scan multiple sheets of paper, which I found out from reading online that this is a known issue that HP has yet to offer a solution. Overall, this printer is on the disappointing side.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Dissappointing This is the worst HP printer (or product, for that matter). At about 3 months, I started having issues with it. Intermittent errors. So I called tech support. They would try/change something and call back 2-4 days later. I went through that cycle few times, all the time it continued to get worse. After a couple weeks of this, they finally decided to send out a person. By this time it had failed completely. I am a business and no printer is a big problem (other business owners can relate). Fortunately, I had another, low volume printer to use. When the tech got here, he said it was so messed up he recommended a replacement. So I spent another day or so waiting for someone to call me to arrange a replacement. Then it took another week to receive it. Overall is was almost a month of time spent with tech support to get to this point. The new one was never quite right either. It has had intermittent problems, mostly with scanning: can't connect, used by another, won't work through my accounting software. Other times it has printing problems: send something to it to print and it just stays in the queue. Shut it down, restart, resubmit your printout and then it prints. Annoying things: It also just randomly "wakes up". I did talk to a tech about that and he said it does that to check the toner cartridges. Why it does this is when it isn't being used? Couldn't tell you, makes no sense to me. Somebody else mentioned that scans from the feeder are not straight. I have that problem too. HP printers use up color. This HP printer (and my previous printer) uses up the color toner when you have all the color printing turned off in the printer settings and software settings. I print mostly in B&W. And I still go through color toner. FYI: I do have another brand of printer and it doesn't use up the color. Even when the black is low, it gives you an option colors to make black or not. That would be a nice option for HP to add! Instead of using up expensive color toner. Good things about it: the by-pass tray, the optional 500 sheet paper tray and print quality. Overall, I am very disappointed with this printer. Especially considering that I am on the second one. Next printer? I always used to just look at HP only, but not sure now.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from One AWESOME Multifunctional Laser Printer/Scanner Maybe I'm just "wowed" because I came from an 9-year old HP OfficeJet 8500 Premier multifunctional inkjet printer. However, this being my first foray into owning a laser printer after dealing only with inkjet printers for years prior to this one, I am simply amazed! The technology improvements over my last printer, as well as the "pros" of laser over ink print is absolutely impressive! I was scanning some old photos (I mean really old) and did a few test prints on just plain paper and the quality was superior to what I just scanned in terms of sharpness and color. It was "eye-popping!" Doing a lot of electronic document scanning on my old multifunctional printer scanner, my experience with that was extremely slow compared to this one. My big frustration with my older printer was with the automatic two-sided scans. It was hit-and-miss with it. It was all mechanical, in that it would scan one side and then mechanically flip the page to the other side to scan it. Depending on the scanned document and the bond and type of paper, it would sometimes jam and I'd end up having to scan it using the flatbed with the manual approach. My first experience, doing a two-sided scan with this was amazing! At first, having been used to a scanner employing the old two-sided, mechanical process-based scan, I thought this printer only scanned one side, even though I selected two-sided. After all, this scanner just zipped it through incredibly fast without flipping the page! I went to my computer and opened the document on the network share that I scanned the document to and saw that it had indeed scanned both sides with just a single-pass. It scans so incredibly fast with both single- and two-sided documents it is amazing and the auto-document feed works great. Print results are fantastic as well. I would highly recommend this printer. Granted the price of the toner my cause initial "sticker shock," you have to consider also, not only the improvement in print quality, but also that a toner cartridge goes a lot further than an ink cartridge. We did comparisons of printing a page with print and color illustrations, both in color as well as in grayscale (black only) modes and compared and the results were fantastic. This printer made a color illustration look like a high quality black-and-white lithograph! To those who've been using inkjet, this is a perfect opportunity to step into a laserjet. Based on my experience with this laserjet, I never want to go back to inkjet again. For personal or small business use, I would highly recommend this printer. The price point with the current "back to school" sales promotion combined with this feature-rich, quality multifunctional printer/scanner can't be beat! I did a lot of research before purchasing this product, comparing other brands like Canon, etc. to this and this one kept standing out, so I took the leap and am glad I did!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great for Small Business This is an update to a printer I bought 4 years ago. It's great because it saves me printing costs over a professional printer on many routine forms. The features of the this model allow my staff to be more productive as we scan and store on the cloud, reducing paper storage.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy setup, great printing upgrade We were having issues with our inkjet printer and found this on a HP Black Friday sale. It arrived from HP in three days. NB - it weighs about 50 pounds. It was easy to unpack snd set up -- remove some red packing tape, insert paper, and plug it in. After that the LED control panel leads through the tests of the set up.
