Customer Review: Good features and value, works perfectly with Mac and iPhone
Summary: 4 Stars
There's no substitute for an actual network printer for sharing with multiple computers and for locating the printer at some remove from your computer or laptop. I got this to replace a USB laser printer which I had plugged into a USB port on my router-- always an unreliable way to do it, it would stop working every couple of months and I'd have to reboot stuff or reinstall it. And there's no substitute for a good old solid b&w laser printer. The ink doesn't have to dry like with inkjet, nozzles don't clog, and text quality is better and it's faster and cheaper per page than a color laser. It just works, all the time.
Double-sided printing should be a requirement for anyone who prints documents. And you get a built-in scanner with document feeder, and copier.
This is the only b&w laser printer of any kind that supports AirPrint, which lets you print directly from an iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad, without any computer involved. The printer appeared automatically on my iPod Touch, I chose if I wanted to print double-sided and how many copies, and that's it-- worked perfectly without any configuration. Handy for printing articles or maps when you don't feel like booting up your computer, or for using your iPod Touch or iPad at home and leaving your laptop at the office. The printouts look pretty much exactly like printouts from a normal Mac.
You do have to upgrade the printer's firmware once to add the AirPrint feature. You download that upgrade from HP's website. The upgrade can be done painlessly from a Mac, and works over the network.
In addition to being the only b&w laser with AirPrint, there are also not too many b&w laser all-in-ones out there, and not too many laser all-in-ones that can print double-sided.
Printing from the Mac, including double-sided printing, also works perfectly without any software installation-- you can skip the included CD. It's a PostScript printer, which even nowadays helps some fonts print more correctly under some circumstances.
You can also scan from the Mac without installing any software, using Apple's Preview or Image Capture applications. Both the automatic document feeder and the flatbed work perfectly. Note: This applies to Snow Leopard, the latest version of OS X. On my roommate's older Mac with Leopard, we had to download the HP printer driver and scanning software, which was easy enough and worked fine.
A networked scanner is also convenient because you can share it among multiple computers, and it doesn't have to be near your computer.
This all-in-one's only functional shortcoming is that you can't press a button on the scanner to scan directly to some computer, like you can with some Brother all-in-one's, for example. That feature is only really a time-saver when you're scanning multiple pages of a book, since you can't use the automatic document feeder so you'd have to go back and forth to the computer for every page. Or potentially with any object that you need to hold flat, if you've located the scanner at a distance from your computer. Making a copy on the printer and then scanning the copy with the document feeder could be a workaround, but wastes paper. Or put your computer near the scanner/printer.
Scan quality is not necessarily top-notch, but it seems fine for documents and it's fast enough. Especially with the document feeder, scanning a multi-page document at 300dpi in grayscale to a PDF is very fast.
Since this is a b&w laser, copying really works just like a copy machine. It's very fast.
Compared to the slightly more professional b&w LaserJet P2015dn we have at the office, this printer is a little louder printing, but maybe a touch softer and faster at duplexing. Unlike the 2015, this printer doesn't have expandable memory. Also unlike the 2015, this printer doesn't have a fully enclosed input paper tray, or an optional straight paper path out the back. Print quality seems more or less similar.
Warm-up times, both for scanning and printing, are fast. The first page comes out quickly and subsequent pages are fast too.
I find the industrial design pretty ugly, but its footprint is small for the features, especially the depth. It is pretty tall and maybe a couple inches wider than it really needs to be. In general HP has a lot of experience with this stuff, and even if all the parts don't look luxurious, they work well. Overall this printer is a great value for the essential features you get.
