HP Color LaserJet Pro Multifunction M479fdw Wireless Laser Printer with One-Year, Next-Business Day, Onsite Warranty (W1A80A), White

I have had a lot of printers over the years (IBM, Epson, HP, Canon, Lexmark, etc.), and had kind of gone away from HP a bit due to their software/driver problems (when they off-shored the development/support, the quality slipped quite a bit). However, when printing Christmas cards, my Canon died, and I had been impressed with this HP model when I was helping my sister sort out hers, so I bought one (MFP M479fdw). Software seems to work reliably so far, so I think HP has addressed that somewhat, granted it is a bit rough and crude in places, but it works. And it works from both Windows 10 and macOS 11 (Big Sur), as well as from mobile (iOS). The printer hardware seems to be very good, output arrives quite fast. One of the problems you run into with cheaper printers (including some lower end HPs) is that they do not put much horsepower into the printer CPUs, and cost-reduce the hardware to the point that they are slow and do not hold up, but this version seems well designed and made. Ratings from PC Magazine, Wirecutter, etc. generally have this printer at or towards the top, I would say that is accurate. Print quality on text is excellent, graphics from web pages and similar also excellent, scans are very good (a custom flat-bed would be a tad better, but this is for an all-in-one amongst the best I have seen). For printing high-quality pictures, you probably still want a Canon or Epson InkJet printer, but this one prints OK for a laser. HP does not ship this printer with full duty cycle cartridges, but the ones they ship with will still do a decent number of pages. Control screen is touch and good sized, gets the job done. Unit is fairly heavy and large, so if you are using this on a desk, check the dimensions some. The printer is not cheap, but it has excellent print quality and appears to be very well built, so HP has come back to where it once was, at the top.

I've had this printer for over 5 years, to print class materials, as well as things for home use. I print on both regular printer paper as well as cardstock, and I have to say I've been very happy with it so far. The one small issue I have is with the top load paper feeder when I'm making copies. The belt that feeds the paper is either misaligned or worn down so my copies and scans usually ended up lopsided. It's not a huge deal at the end of the day. The HP Smart app is horrible. Avoid using it if you can. It often doesn't detect that the printer is online, will crash in the middle of a job, makes you log in even though you've just logged in. They either need to redo this app or get rid of it entirely. This has been a great workhorse all-in-one device, and I've been very happy with it so far!

I have had this printer for the past few months and have been very pleasantly surprised. This printer is not cheap; however, it is already starting to pay itself off on reduced inkjet costs. Full review below! Setup: The printer was very easy to set up for computers and from phones/tablets. The HP Smart App was very user friendly and I experienced no issues getting it set up in just a few minutes. Speed: The printer is extremely fast at warming up and printing. It is at least twice as fast as the inkjet I was using that was only a few years old. Two sided printing for less paper use is very speedy as well. Print Quality: The printer has a variety of print quality settings, none of which you will use regularly. The standard setting is fantastic for office level print quality. For the occasional picture or flyer, it does a fantastic job on the print quality. Scanning: Openly admit that one of the features I had to have was 2 sided scanning. Why have a printer that can print on two sides if you can't scan on both sides!? This has just helped cut my paper consumption considerably. Toner: Toner lasts much much longer than any inkjet cartridge. This is such a benefit to the environment if you look at your waste stream per page. The toners from my purchase are still going strong after 428 sheets. I was going through an XL HP 62 cartridge every week prior to this purchase.

the 479 is a beast. Great printer overall. bought this way back during Covid and I've only changed the inks once. however the newer big brother the 4301 IS A POS!!! it actually has less features, is harder to use and navigate and is locked down through it's IP interface. granted it's 25% faster BUT WHO CARES!!!! i recommended the 479 for a client based upon mine and found they are only selling factory refurbs, bought the 4301 locally and was instantly disappointed. brought it back and had him order this refurb from here. in the mean while loaned him my 479 and it rocked his socks off. the Print to Fax feature blew him away. it finally came in and got mine back. HP479 5 stars - HP4301 0 stars!!!

Lasers have come a long way since the compact car-sized monochrome business lasers of yesteryear. And HP has been in the forefront of development of laser printing technology, with literally dozens of models for home/business applications. This model is a good example of their desktop line of lasers. Remarkably svelte for what it does (although it does weigh over 50 pounds) - ten years ago this type of printer would have been on wheels, with it's own room and IT staff. And it does everything - automatic duplex printing, scanning and copying, fax with a phone bypass, 28 ppm output, monochrome or full color (and HP has some of the best color profiles in the business), multiple paper weights (HP has a full line of light and heavy weight plain and photo laser papers), finishes and input options (accessories available for tray expansion up to 550 sheets) - truly business-friendly. It's a do-everything laser printer. Setup was relatively easy (more below), the built-in LED screen is fast and intuitive, with a galaxy of setup/input options), and it's fairly quiet for a laser. Monochrome text is crisp and high resolution, and even larger (8x10) photos print at an acceptable 600x600 dpi with perfect color matching. Not bad. It's also economical, in spite of the Bentley cost of laser toner cartridges - standard replacements are north of $100 each, and a full set (4) of high-yield cartridges will set you back, shipping and tax, on the near side of $1,000 - the standard toner cartridges are good for over 2,000 pages, and high-yield around 6,000. As a comparison, a standard business inkjet cartridge ($40) will yield 300-400 pages realistically, between clearing dry cartridges and cleaning printer heads, for a best cost of about .10 per page (it can get worse, because you may need to toss out cartridges that have dried out and are unusable - if you print full color brochures or photos with your inkjet infrequently you may pay over .25 per page). A high yield toner cartridge ($230+) will yield 6,000 pages, for a best cost of .04 per page (standard cartridges will cost per page about the same). For high volume business printing, your finance department will tell you it's a no-brainer. For home use, toner cartridges are pricey, but will require no maintenance, can be left in the printer unused for weeks and will still print perfectly, and will yield the full rated number of pages. The only thing a laser won't do compared to an inkjet is print large format, high resolution photos on graphic arts photo paper - for this you need a dedicated inkjet, warts and all. As far as the setup mentioned above, my first printer arrived DOA - two screens into the setup the onboard LED read "Printer Failure." HP online support seemed to be under the impression I had a different printer, and continually provided instructions that didn't apply to this printer, so ultimately we declared the printer bricked. Amazon shipped out a new printer ASAP, which went through the setup perfectly. Could be shipping - HP laser printers don't like their innards shaken- or could be a manufacturing defect. Stuff happens. I should also mention that HP printer construction is not quite as robust as some rivals - thinner plastic and hinges, more movable bits - but overall fine for light business or home use, and does come with onsite support from HP for a time. If you're a small business, this printer does everything you need, economically, with HP's expansive universal support network available. If you're currently a home user with an inkjet on your desk, you might take a longer look at this one if you're thinking of the switch to lasers - long-term, it will serve you as well, with less fiddling and maintenance, and even though supplies are costlier on the front end, it really is no more expensive and likely even cheaper for general printing needs, with faster and better output. Recommended.

Worked very well for 5-6 years. But soddenly almost after 6 years it stopped working

I used to use lower priced and lower quality HP printers, but always had some shortcoming for dealing with business requirements in my home. Given now that I have to more or less during COVID exclusively working from home and cannot easily run to the office to print color or print lots of pages, or needed to scan lots of pages, I decided to buyer a higher quality HP printer. I am so glad I did that in buying this printer. It was an easy setup, has great quality and very easy to print from even my iPad, which has made all the printing/scanning requirements for work and home well with the price. Although it has multiple print cartridges and they are more costly, the print cartridges are holding up well. Plus, I found if you buy recharged cartridges available on Amazon, you can save a lot of money. I have had various printers for home over the past 30 years, and this was the right choice today while working from home and well worth a few hundred dollars more in price. I have been around long enough to remember when printers like this were thousands of dollars and were not as dependable, which I know goes hand-in-hand with tech advances, however, even taking that into account, this is a good price to quality/function printer. I hope it fits your needs as much as it did mine in the world we live in today and probably will until the end of 2021.
