Rated 4 out of 5 by CRJ4 from Have not used very much, so not sure of rating to Putting it at a 4 star at present because I haven't used it much yet. Sometimes, the printer says it's offline, which prevents me from making prints. Lately, it's been working. If I see "printer offline" anymore, I'll plan to contact HP support to get their help.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Da Old Shamrock from Like this printer I really like the printer, especially the 2nd (upper) tray. This is similar to one I had several years ago that died after several years of use. I am a bit leery about buying refurbished items but this came with the usual HP 1 year warranty so we'll see how things work out.

Rated 5 out of 5 by D Byington from Can’t Go Wrong w HP LaserJet Pro 404dw I was replacing a older HP laser printer that is still in excellent condition but wasn’t compatible with new operating systems. This new one was so simple to set up and prints so fast! I’m hopeful it will last as long as my old one which was 20+ years. I would only buy HP printers. Their products and customer support are the best!

Wired printing provides reliable connectivity to multiple PCs on a home network, whilst mobile devices can use it conveniently as well. The HP software on iOS even allows you to scan and print items, which is a great feature given I deliberately selected a model that didn't come with an ADF.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Print at home from Solid, dependable, and fast. I bought this printer as well as the previous model which went to college with my son. The drums last a long time and the speed is great. One thing is that there is no wireless or Bluetooth connection and the printer didn’t come equipped with a print-USB cable. I had to purchase one for both printers. It’s seems it should really be standard since that’s the only way you can print from your computer.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from Quiet, efficient and reliable. Easy to operate It fits beautifully in the small space we have, prints quickly, can do envelopes and cardstock and is quiet. The only downside seems to be that envelopes can not be printed in multiple because the ink smudges after printing one or two. After a brief rest, you can keep printing. This can work out fine if you don't have a lot of them to print in a hurry. I do love being able to have two trays for duplex printing because we have a lot of forms we use. All in all, I am very pleased.
