My thanks to BestBuy for arranging for my receiving this equipment for my trial of the machine. In exchange I wish to provide my hands on experience and opinions of the printer. Having experience with a similar HP printer beginning only 6 months ago with very similar features, gives me the chance to compare and note any improvements and differences in these two models. My initial impressions is that they are almost indistinguishable machines with only some tweaks in the styling and location of some of the controls. The response, speed, output quality, and additional features of these multifunction machines is identical. My first realization was the substantial weight of this printer, weighing 45 lbs, by the labeling on the box. Compared to ink jet printers, the laser engine is profoundly heavier. The value of the laser in speed of output, large capacity for larger work loads, and much cheaper price per page of output make the laser printer worth the extra weight. It is designated as appropriate for a small to medium business, with output of up to 50,000 pages a month. Printer output is quite brisk, rated at 35 pages/minute for both color and B&W. The is a convenient front load 50 sheet loading paper slot for printing onto an occasional stock, such as letterhead, color paper, heavier stock for photos, etc. The second 250 sheet bulk tray is at the base, accepting all normal bulk stock such as 8.5” x 11” and A5. The tray accepts 8.5” x 14”, but the trays then sticks out in the front to accommodate the extra 3” of length for the legal page stock. The printer is compatible to the most common operating systems, including Windows, MacOS, Linux, ChromeOS, iOS and Android for mobile devices, Linux, and Citrix. I found it worked seamlessly with AirPrint on my iPhone 13; no hoops to jump through. It just worked. It arrived via a commercial carrier in excellent condition, well packaged. Alas, a couple of large chunks of styrofoam came in the box, one of the least ecological plastics available and not accepted in the majority of municipal curbside recycling programs. Other bulky items I have received recently have been much more ecologically padded with use of molded cardboard to protect the equipment. This molded heavy cardboard was sufficient protection for the equipment, which has all arrived in excellent shape, and avoids new plastics traveling for centuries of life in the landfill or oceans. The printer itself was a departure from the starkness of most recent HP printers in their plain white motif. With a blue facade, it was actually quite stylish in comparison, and a welcome change for me. Other aspects of how the machine was organized was also showing some improvements of access and convenience, such as the USB port in an easier access, behind a little flip up door, rather than tucked The touchscreen which is about 4.3” diagonal screen is very conveniently located up front. It prompted you for all the steps to setup your printer, without a hitch. Logging in to the WiFi was simple and flawless in execution. It then automatically checked for any firmware updates, and gave me the options for future updates whether I wished to check on my own, receive notifications of updates, or allow such updates to be automatically installed. My first pass on the firmware update gave me an error screen (see photo) but the second pass was flawless. There is also Ethernet connectivity, which would offer advantages of speed, and stability of the network even if the WiFi “went down”, and offers security by no vulnerability to hacking into the WiFi network. The machine arrived with all 4 color toner cartridges installed. The black cartridge was a regular size, rated at around 1800 pages of output, whereas the color cartridges were “introductory” cartridges, offering around 800-1000 pages of output (varies with your usage of color output). HP notes in the firmware disclosure that the machine is programed to accept only HP brand cartridges, and recognizes the embedded computer chips in HP brand cartridges. HP stated in this disclosure that future updates in the firmware will function to detect and thwart future any third party toner cartridges that have been designed to bypass HP’s restriction to only HP branded toner products. The customer cost of the 4 regular fill cartridges at retail is $425, but various vendors offer “rewards” for customers, which lowers the final cost. The various office supply stores charge essentially the same prices at retail. Printer Duplex printing, which can be toggled easily on the print dialog screen, as well as standard choices of color or B&W printing, number of copies, whether you want the whole document or just certain pages of it to print, etc. Very fast output, stated to be 35 pages/minute, color or B&W. This small to medium office machine is likely faster than “home use” rated machines, which have output in the 20-25 pages/minute range. The photo output is actually quite good. Generally, for fully op
