HP printers - the best…

I received the Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4301fdn at the perfect time. I'm a CPA, and tax season is just starting. I needed a reliable printer, and in the past, HP has always delivered the best. It's no different in this case.
This particular model's connectivity is ethernet only as compared to the 4301fdw which has wifi/bluetooth. In my case I only needed it to be wired/connected to my network. I always feel wired is the fastest and most reliable connection. Setup was simple and fast. I personally did not require the instructions as I have set up many HP printers before. I plugged it in, connected it to the network, and downloaded the HP software.
I really like the blue accents which makes the printer stand out. That may not be the most important thing, but a client came in and mentioned it, so it does get some attention. The display panel is easy to read, and makes maneuvering through the printer settings a breeze. I can also adjust settings from the PC. It prints fairly fast, but I did not time it against the up to 35ppm as advertised. It takes around 10 seconds for the first page to print, and then its off to the races. For my office needs, the 600x600dpi is more than adequate. If you are relying on photos and other more demanding color printing, it may not be good enough for your particular needs. It's rated for up to 50,000 pages per month which is great since I print out a lot of tax returns, although it's recommended to print between 750 to 4,000 pages (I did not research the why to this compared to the monthly duty cycle. HP does disclaim that this printer is designed for HP toner that has a built-in chip for authentication, so I would think if you use 3rd party toner you may want to think about it.
At this early stage, I am very happy with this printer as I always am with HP printers. The real test will come in the heart of tax season. Regardless, I would recommend this printer.
