Beware of replacement reconditioned units from HP.,

I purchased this printer because its size is ideal for my limited office space. But I must caution buyers who receive a defective unit to immediately return it to the seller rather than involving HP Tech Support. In my case, the printer had a major print quality problem, so HP shipped a reconditioned replacement very promptly. That unit didn't initialize properly and failed to recognize the toner cartridges from the original one. After another call to another Tech Support representative, a second reconditioned unit arrived that had the same problem. After a final call to Tech support when the representative suggested that I purchase new cartridges to try (they would waive expedited shipping charges!) I decided to return the original printer to the seller for exchange with a new unit.
The replacement unit had no print quality problems but the HP Smart Install software that should be present in the printer had not been installed so I couldn't configure wireless networking...Read more

Excellent & Easy,

I bought this as a Christmas present after doing much research. I was looking for a laserjet vs. inkjet, required wireless networking support, a decent sized paper input tray, (ideally a full ream, but negotiable), and of course, it had to be multi-function.
I purchased this one as a Christmas gift, and have had it setup & running for a few days now. Setup was very easy and took less than 15 minutes. It found my wireless network and I was able to configure it easily. I did get momentarily confused during setup as the process directed you to update the firmware to get the latest/greatest functionality and to enable ePrint. But the printer wasn't listed in the printers supporting ePrint, which led me to a brief online chat session with HP's support. Essentially they directed me to ignore that step, and I was able to confirm that ePrinting was functional, (the ePrint logo on the control panel clearly indicates the printer supports ePrint - so the website is simply...Read more

Excellent Quality and Features,

After tiring of lower quality mechanisms often found in cheap inkjets, we decided to get a laser printer. After plugging in the printer to the hardwired ethernet port, it acquired an IP through DHCP from the router and I was able to access the excellent web interface of the printer. I noticed the firmware was out of date so I updated it using WindowsXP running on VirtualBox on my Fedora 16 system without any issues.
The Linux HPLIP software automatically configured the drivers and printing functionality was enabled in just a couple minutes after plugging in the USB cable. Scanning using XSANE works great including the auto-document feeder as well as the flatbed. No HP-specific software was needed to get everything working other than having to install the drivers on the WinXP VirtualBox machine so the firmware could be updated.
It works great with Apple's AirPrint and we are able to print directly to the printer using iPhone/iPad.
