I bought this printer to replace my one year old(!) HP CP4025n which had many problems and I was really hoping this printer would have all those problems resolved since it's a newer model. Unfortunately, all the problems the CP4025n has, this printer has too - and some.

Fast warm-up time; fast printing; adjustable paper type settings

Terrible color reproduction; prints too big or slanted on special media (like cardstock); too many problems with toners

Just purchased this printer. It works great, I would recommend it to anyone looking for a color laserjet. The price is a real bargin (see discussion below). However, I'm going to be picky picky. The drivers for the Mac (OX 10.6.x) are wanting.

The HP LaserJet Enterprise 500 Color Printer M551dn ($899 direct) printed out our business applications suite at a near-record clip for a color laser, and its output quality is above average, making it suitable for any standard business need, including printing out basic marketing materials.

Very fast; Above-par graphics; Slightly above-par photos.

Limited paper-handling options

Setup was very easy. Very good looking machine. The quality of color prints is excellent. Color photos, are okay, but not great. We are still working with different settings and papers to try to improve the photo quality. Also noticed some of the prints were not aligned properly.

Compact Design; Easy To Set Up; Easy To Use

Dull tones & colors, Photo Quality

The first color laser I owned that prints fairly good photos, comparable to many pelvic printers with HP's mat or shiny "Photo Paper 200g" also has a "Adobe RGB" mode. After calibrated it with "ColorMunki" and printed calendars (for family & friends) with images for 2 years now, I am still impressed...

This printer is WONDERFUL. I had a 4500 HP Color Laser Jet that I bought in 1999 and it worked great until this year. I kept getting power cycle errors and could not depend on it. This printer is FASTER, the colors are 'true', it is easier to clean/change cartridges. I LOVE it.

Fantastic printer. Amazingly fast, does about 18-20ppm in duplex mode which is faster than my canon MFC8380 did in single-sided mode. Immaculate quality text, beautiful quality graphics, very good quality photographs, with hp-eprint you can email jobs to this printer from anywhere in the world and...

We use this printer for a small church to make the bulletins for each Sunday. Outstanding quality and easy to use even for a beginner.

HP has always provided me and my family with quality printers. It is the only brand that I trust.

fast print speed and quality

should have bought the one with duplex capability

This printer is really living up to its name. I takes the heavier paper and prints quickly and quietly. Hope it lasts as long the the previous Hp we had.

Doesn't Jam; Good Value; Easy to Use; Fast; Quality; Easy to Set Up; Performance
