Rated 4 out of 5 by Good product but slow at scanning I downsized to this printer as a cost effective replacement for my older HP model. It takes a full ream of paper which is good since I go through a couple of reams a week, at minimum. However, for an office that scans to email many times a day and which sends out multiple faxes, there probably are options that scan faster and have easier to use fax options. April 28, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5 by Should be easier to set up It is difficult to set up many of the features of this printer. To set up the unit on my WiFi network, II should have been able to turn it on, choose a WiFi network, enter the network password and go. Instead, I had to call tech support to figure out how to change the IP address, etc. The same was true for the "scan to folder" feature. The HP Utility doesn't have a "Browse" feature to pick the folder on my computer I wanted to download scans to. Instead, I had to enter the folder name with the entire path. If I entered a incorrect "/" or "\" the connection didn't work. Since the instructions are written for a PC rather than a Mac, there were no help to me. I am pretty tech saavy; so, if I had a hard time making all of the features work, I can imagine how difficult it would be for someone less technically oriented to install it. It was also very difficult to find anything of help on the HP web site since almost all of the help was written for a PC. The product does print great. If it weren't so hard to set up, I would have given it a 5 star rating. April 28, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by Runs well but loud. Good features and easy to use, but loud when running in small office space. Wish there was a way it would keep track of copies or printed pages for specific clients/users. August 6, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Satisfied so far. Some initial condition problems were fixed w/ help of customer service. Website listed wrong wireless card -- resulting in delay and extra $80. Not sure customer service had adequate info on this product, resulting in long phone times. February 16, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by This product has great features Features perfect for MFP. I advise customers to purchase it for a great office use June 4, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Mostly pros Everything about this printer is great. The only con that I would say is it is a little louder than I was expecting. May 17, 2013
