This Laser Printers give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Excellent SOHO Printer
I bought this HP M475dn all-in-one printer/copier/scanner/fax directly from HP after doing some, but not an exhaustive research. If you are looking for an all-in-one, there are several available options by Dell, Canon, Epson, Brother, OKI, and even by HP. However, most of these printers on the market are much cheaper and do not belong to this class. The difference is better construction quality and built for a much higher duty-cycle using high yield cartridges (more on this later). I looked at two additional printers in this class- Brother MFC-9970 CDW that did not measure up in quality of output, and Dell 2155cn which is a close contender. Dell's print quality is good, but my bad experience with my old Dell's continuous toner demand made me choose HP.
There are several variations of this printer- M375nw (economical option if you want wireless but do not care for duplex), M475dn (the one reviewed which has duplex and network), and M475dw (slightly more expensive if you...
2. HP Got it Right this time
This is a great printer for the home office. It does everything I need it to do including double sided scanning and printing. The color is excellent and the detail of the print is 10 times better than my old office jet printer. I could care less about the fax because e-mail coverers that requirement besides who uses a fax anymore. The set up was one of the easiest applications I have ever installed. Just follow the instructions on the initial set up page by typing in the URL in your browser and you will be off and running in no time. Setup took about 15 minutes and that included a break to get another cup of tea. One bit of caution; be sure to following the unpacking instructions to get all the packing blocks out. I got mine okay but it could be easy to miss one by looking at the vague unpacking pictures.

Works well, printing in black and white only requires extra steps
This printer while it prints kind of slow works well for us. We haven't had any issues with scanning and the print quality is good. Setting it up on the network was easy. It also updates the bios when first installed so that's good.
My reason for not giving it five starts is that the product requires multiple steps to print in black and white. First you have to go to printer properties, select color, choose gray scale, uncheck auto color management and then choose none for the color options. The defaults don't get saved so these steps are required every time. Forget any of these steps and the color toner is used. HP should definitely make the black and white option available as a default.
If anyone has found a way around this I'd be very interested.
