HP LaserJet Pro M402dn Laser Printer with Built-in Ethernet & Double-Sided Printing, Amazon Dash Replenishment Ready (C5F94A), A4

I purchased this thing to replace a M401 dn that worked flawlessly for years until the duplexer broke on using some heavy stock paper. I bought this thing, set it up on the Ethernet network, and it is connected as are a Brother mulitpurpose laser scan-fax-printer, an Epson wide-format inkjet printer, and a Cannon six-cartridge ink-jet printer. However, unlike the M401dn this LaserJet M402dn will go into sleep mode if not used and you absolutely cannot wake it up out of it unless you (1) use the menu on the printer and select a configuration report which causes it to come out of sleep mode and start printing again for a while or (2) you manually unplug the 110V cord and plug it in again which also makes it available again. The On/Off button on the front of the M402dn will not take it out of sleep mode. I am thinking of returning it tomorrow, I called HP support tonight with no results. Only thing to show for me consulting HP support on this product is an Email. No help available -- it should be. Prints nice, probably cost effective, but this Econo Mode might be good for polar bears but not for productivity!

Works great! Although this model, M402n, does not have wireless capabilities built in, i can print wirelessly from laptops easily thru Wi-fi. Set up was so easy. First, connected the printer to my Wi-Fi router with a USB cable. Then turned on the printer. Then opened my Mac's System Preferences, "Printers and Scanners". Just clicked " " to add a printer. The printer shows up , I selected it and ticked the box, "Share this printer on a network".Now, as long as my laptops are connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the Wi-Fi router, the printer shows up. I had an antiquated non-network printer. I had it connected to my desktop via USB. For or other computers, like our laptops, to print, they had to go thru a computer to computer network, so the desktop computer where the printer was connected had to be on, and the first page took a long time. Now, connecting this printer to the router, our MacBook and Chromebook can print without the desktop being on, and the first page is out super fast.

I would not recommend this printer for envelopes or labels because it does not have a straight-path feed-through. If you open the door on the back, it displays an error message, Door Open. So that lack of feature is disappointing. It curves the paper around severely which is just fine for regular paper, however not a good situation for labels. It is OK for envelopes, if you only print a few of them now and then. It printed on Card Stock very well, once the parameter was changed to the thick paper setting. Otherwise it will leave residual toner behind which contaminates subsequent sheets, and the toner will not adhere properly. Once it is set correctly, it works very well. The print quality is very impressive. I went between line art, gray scale, photos, line drawings, and it auto-corrected for optimal graphics quality. Print quality is very impressive and surprising fast in both single sided mode and duplex mode, which by the way is very easy to setup. Overall, it’s a very easy printer to use. I like that. Some people complain that the toner costs 3 times as much, however it also prints 3 times as much, so the cost per sheet isn’t that expensive after all. Some of the problems others had reported were apparently corrected, because I didn’t have any problems at all. It has worked flawless right from the start.

Fantastic! Operating systems printing on this printer: 2 Chromebook Laptops, 1 Kindle Fire, 2 Android Phones, and 1 Windows 7 computer. No issues. Fastest install ever. The 2 Chromebooks need an extension call HP Print to Chrome and after that fast addition with the printers IP address, we were in business. Wow. WOW!! You will find something useful in this printer guaranteed. I have struggled with print issues for years and have always wanted a laser printer with and ethernet card that provides a simple IP address to direct my printing traffic similar to printers at work but the past few years most printers were very expensive that included an ethernet card. I even tried a printer with wireless wifi connections and google print, BIG MISTAKE. Try this very affordable laser printer, jack in the ethernet connection to your router/switch, and watch you print worries go away. The damn printer even decided to print on its own at one point to remind me that it (the printer) had a specific email address I could email it to with any print stuff. Wouldn't you know it? IT PRINTS when you EMAIL IT as well!! I would be surprised if you could not find a method to simply get your print on with this thing. Well worth the money. HP nailed it with this one. Regarding pricing on print cartridges: GET THE REFILL BOTTLE AND LEARN HOW TO REFILL THE TONER from youtube and you will save $$$. Example, for $8 you could get a bottle of toner on amazon and learn how to empty the used ink/toner cartridge and refill (twice with one bottle) with some fresh toner. OR you could spend $100 and get a new one. YOU DO THE MATH. Print, print some more, PRINT LIKE CRAZY. Get some baby.
