    HP’s entry-level Enterprise-class printer with speeds up to 42 ppm[8] and strongest security.[1]
    Workteams excel with HP’s black-and-white office LaserJet printers, which pack extra punch with high-quality results, extra power, and more features.

    The operating code (BIOS) is automatically checked during startup and repairs itself if compromised. Common Criteria certified[4] to continually monitor memory activity to detect and stop attacks in real time. Firmware is automatically checked during startup to determine if it’s authentic code—digitally signed by HP. The printer’s outgoing network connections are inspected to stop suspicious requests and thwart malware.

Two-sided (duplex) printing is set at default for automatic savings.[7] Help reduce wasted paper and toner by only printing jobs that are truly needed, using HP Secure Print.[8] Save energy without sacrificing performance—this printer is ENERGY STAR® and Blue Angel certified. Remove barriers and help meet compliance and accessibility standards with the HP Accessibility Kit (which includes Braille overlay and tactile adhesives, an HP Access Handle, and BigKeys LX Keyboard) and compatibility with HP Accessibility Assistant.

These printers use dynamic security measures to block cartridges using a non-HP chip or electronic circuitry. Periodic firmware updates will maintain the effectiveness of these measures and block cartridges that previously worked. Reused HP chips and electronic circuitry enable the use of reused, remanufactured, and refilled cartridges.

    Rated 2 out of 5 by Acct office from difficulty setting up printer This printer is incredibly difficult to set up. It goes through the drivers and setup but will not print. Used the tools to troubleshoot, spoke to support and it took forever to fix the issue.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by Ronald Remmel from HP Laser M406dn printer works just great! I am a scientist and writer. I use my HP printers to produce statistical graphs and drawings using the GL/2 graphics language, as well as scans, photographs, and .pdf and .odt documents and books for publishing, newspaper articles, and email blogs. Often I run off dozens of double-sided articles for mass mailings. I also use my M406dn to print out interesting newspaper articles. For 20 years I have used HP printers in my engineering business and my writing. The M406dn is by far the fastest, best one so far!

    Rated 2 out of 5 by Anonymous from Set up and operating instructions needed. The over 160 page User Guide for the HP LaserJet Enterprise M406, M407 has no information on how to set up or operate the printer. Trying to get that information on line from HP Support was an exercise in futility. I spent $120.00 to have a computer specialist come to my home to complete the set up.

    Rated 1 out of 5 by Kwalyti from Never Again! I have never had such issues with a printer series. We have purchased a 404n and 406dn in the last couple of months and from the beginning, neither of them has worked correctly. I have spent upwards of 3 hours on the phone with HP. It seems there is some incompatability with the firmware and driver that HP has loaded on this series. Now it is hit and miss trying to find a driver to work with the new firmware upgrade. No one has time for this! HP get your act together!! These little desktop printers should be a no brainer.

    One of my clients is an accounting firm. Printing large tax returns, the printer will pause for long periods of time. That printer has 512mb and is not upgradable. I see that this printer has 1gb. How many pages can this printer hold at one time?

    Asked by: CSCINC
    Hello. Thanks for your question. This HP LaserJet Enterprise M406dn printer can hold 100 sheets in tray 1 and 250 sheets in input tray 2. You do have the option to add a 550-sheet paper tray to this printer. The part number for the 550 sheet paper tray is D9P29A.
