Rated 1 out of 5 by deanphil from Perfect except when it powers down to save energy The printer is fantastic except for the ridiculous feature that puts it to sleep and then disconnects from the wireless network. Once that happens I can’t print to it without turning it off then on again. It’s a boat anchor.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Addabella from Excellent Choice of Printer Plug-and-play set up, good graphics (for my small business applications), quieter than the HP printer it replaced. The ink will be less expensive than the HP printer it replaced (unheard of, right?). We're pleased.

Rated 5 out of 5 by JAXGAL from Purchase of printer I love the HP MFP M479 printer. It was super easy to install, I’m so proud of myself. We are baby boomers & not born during the computer age but didn’t need special skills for the setup. HP is a name we trust, we have one at our home & this one was for our beach house. If we have a need in the future we will not hesitate to purchase another HP!

Rated 5 out of 5 by JillMag from Quality office printer! Nice copier for our office! We needed a quality printer for a small off site office. This unit has the capabilities of printing in color and scanning which are important in our work. Unable to get it through our corporate IT office, we found the HP website user friendly and easy to navigate.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Scott102 from Poor post-purchase experience On Monday, May 16, 2022, I ordered an HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M479fdw printer through the HP web store. The printer was delivered to my home via FedEx on Saturday, May 21, 2022. When I setup the printer, I made a mistake. I removed the mylar strips on the ADF (automatic document feeder) glass. The reason I removed them is that I thought they were shipping tape. There printer has a warning sign against removal of the strips, but I mis-interpreted the sign. On Wednesday, May 25, 2022, to see if the printer's ADF issue could be repaired, I dropped it off at Lewan & Associates (an approved HP service provider) in Englewood, Colorado. As of submitting this survey (about 7:30 pm MDT on Wednesday, 6/8, 2022), I have not heard anything further from Lewan & Associates regarding the printer. It's unclear at this point what the printer's ultimate disposition will be. Regardless, I need a printer. Today, I ordered another HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M479fdw from Best Buy at around the same cost ($750) as the one ordered from the HP web store. It's unfortunate that HP and its service providers have not been responsive to my attempts to find a solution (or even communicate) regarding whether the issue with the original printer could be resolved.

Rated 5 out of 5 by AKgirl2000 from Great printer, but installation difficult. Great, reliable printer. I like the style - very simple, smooth lines - avoids a lot of dusting nooks & crannies on the printer. I work in a very dusty office. Very difficult to set up after following the easy initial instructions. Then it doesn't recognize anything you're doing. So I hired an IT specialist who got the job done.

Rated 4 out of 5 by VA Truck Dealer from Good Value - Affordable - Would Recommend I was looking for a versatile all-in-one printer/scanner/fax machine with wi-fi. It checked all the boxes. Was affordable. Was available. It was a little difficult to get fax machine to work correctly (which seemed odd). I am a self-admitted semi-techie. So, I have to call IT sometimes, but grew up on computers. And that being said, set-up could have been easier. I still have to use HP Suite for scanning. I haven't figured out how to get scan button to send PDF to my computer (maybe one day). It is quick to print and scan. Initial toner tanks: I have gotten about 1,000 pages from black and over 1200 from color and still have color toner left. The printer does "lock-up" every couple of days. I have to power it down and turn it back on and goes to working perfect. All that being said, I would buy this printer again and would recommend to a friend.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from MOBILE BUSINESS PRINTER I am very pleased with my purchase of a new MFP M479fdw HP Laser Jet printer. I called HP direct and asked the sales person his recommendation for use in my motor coach home/office. The printer is anchored to one of two office 2 drawer wood cabinets with quick release attachments for safety and service ability. The scanner is useful for saving documents to the computer server. Checks and envelopes are easily loaded and printed from the pulldown drawer1 and printing on both sides for presentation booklets from drawer 2 is with ease.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Anonymous from LOUSY PRINTER worst printer I have ever had. I have had the mother board replaced, I have had numerous chats with HP techs, now they tell me that it is my network. This stupid printer has to be turned off and on numerous times every day because it just decides not to print. Now after all the work that has been done when they took my computer over to "fix" the printer....my other HP printer suddenly is not working on the network. The message is "there is no driver". Thanks HP....oh, by the way it is also an HP all in one printer. I have tried to deal with HP about it and have gotten nowhere. It is still under warranty.
