Rated 2 out of 5 by Legal Assistant1 from Work horse but stubborn at "printing" While the refurb printer is working like a horse, the lag between the time my computer tells my printer to "print" is excruciatingly l-o-n-g.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Anonymous from Not happy Product isn't good at all. I have to print "heavy" to get it print viewable good text and that makes printer slower. The xtra sheet tray add-on....not even sure it works. Not happy at all.

Rated 2 out of 5 by FritzFL from Good quality printer but only prints two sided Even with duplex printing disabled, this printer only prints two sided. If you need a printer that prints one sided, this isn’t for you.

A Google search says that a HP87X toner cartridge will work with this printer. Is this correct? We may be replacing our HP M506 printer shortly, but have 87X cartridges with a lot of ink left in them

Asked by: Bagby
Hello and thank you for your question! The HP LaserJet Pro M404dn uses the 58X toner and not the 87X toner.

Do this print photos 

Asked by: Himm
Hello. Thanks for your question. This HP LaserJet Pro M404dn printer is a black-and-white laser printer. The laser printer has larger dots which are better for documents. If you do photos, you will notice that they look grainy due to the larger dots. The inkjet printers have smaller dots which create better photos and documents.

What does the ! inside the triangle mean?

Asked by: Paintboy
Thank you for your question regarding the LaserJet Pro M404dn (W1A53A). If the exclamation is lit up, it means that there is a problem. If you have the HP Smart app installed on a device connected to the printer, you can use the app to see what the issue might be and how to troubleshoot it.
