HP levels of scummy business practices

Not worth the plastic it was built with. This model forces you to replace the toner cartridges after an arbitrary period, with no method for bypassing this, as in previous models. It WILL stop printing prior to your toner being empty, and there is literally nothing you can do other than purchase a new cartridge.

Great Little Printer

This printer was very easy to set up and we were printing text and color documents from our computers plus iPads and iPhones quickly. The color quality is very good and the text crisp and sharp.

Not that user friendly

It's a nice printer overall but, is way to maintenance intensive and has a lot of "old school" printing techniques. Setting up to print an envelope is absolutely nuts! Quiet mode is still noisy, takes quite awhile to "wakeup" from being idle for an hour or more.

Had to return It!!

Bought this to replace an old HP. Bought it because I really enjoy my Brother 3300 Scanner. This unit never worked properly from day 1. Would never work in the wireless mode. Could never get it to work properly. Went back to an HP and all is well again!

Great Printer

Great printer, easy setup, and quality output. Was tired of inkjet quality, and the issues that come with them.

Good, but doesn’t stay connected.

I switched to Brother to get some better productivity out of our printers. The brother printer is great when It works. It does not stay connected to WIFI and requires a log in every use. The software and control interface is more about getting recurring ink sales than helping with issues. My son wanted to scan some documents a couple days ago, after connection issues, firmware updates, web interface, we were ultimate unable to get a scan to work.

Paper tray issues

I bought this to replace the HL-L370CDW which had lasted several years, but died on me. This one, almost from the beginning, has issues where it tells me the paper tray is empty, when it isn't. I have to fiddle with it many times to get it to work. It has gone offline as well. But the main problem is that it can't detect the stack of paper in the unit.
