HP Laserjet M1522NF Printer

 (64 customer reviews)

Please note: In order to post this review, I HAD to give this printer one star. This printer deserves NO STARS.

The HP1522nf had everything I was looking for--Fax, Scan, laser printing, feeder, PPM requirements--and what I thought was HP quality. Although we purchased it from Amazon.com on 4/17, the printer was not placed into use until 5/1 because we were still in construction mode on our business. On May 1, I spent several hours on the phone with HP tech support...in India...and I couldn't understand most of what they said. Worse, they couldn't understand *me.* And I speak very clearly.

I was told that the printer could not be plugged into a surge protector--has to be plugged straight into the wall, and they eventually decided that I needed to download the printer software from HP's website to cure the fact that the printer simply would not operate after printing one page.

HP M1522nf LaserJet Multifunction Printer with Fax Bundle

Note: I'm not sure if I should attach this review to the second product--"with Fax Bundle"--as mine said it FAXed, but did not say anything about a "FAX Bundle." However, the model number is the same for both. Perhaps the "Bundle" is something added to help resolve the FAX problems. I don't know.

Overall nice design. Easy access to the insides. Repeated button pressing to change settings is a bit cumbersome, but not unreasonable for a small, reasonably-priced unit. The flatbed lid stays upright if you open it all the way, which is nice. It opens along the...Read more

The copy and scan functions are outstanding -- quick, quiet, and easy to use. Scanning to Adobe files is remarkably simple. Faxing, though, is another story. The fax wizard will not install on Vista 64 bit systems, so fax send functions are limited to what you can do manually. More frustrating, it is impossible to receive faxes with an answering machine connected. I have spent many hours speaking with technicians in India to solve the problem. They diagnose the problem being the answering machine, but changing the answering machine did not help. This was not an issue with my five year old HP Office Jet. And the 1522 is not covered by HP on-line help. So my advice is to think about your needs before buying. If you have Vista 64 bit or use this on anything other than a dedicated fax line, beware.
