We have used this printer for a few weeks now, all good and no complains so far.

The HP LaserJet Pro 400 M401dn monochrome laser printer is slow, but it?s a decent fit for micro and small offices that care more output quality than speed.

High-quality text; Ethernet; Built-in duplexer and 300-sheet capacity standard; 800-sheet maximum

Slow

The $399 HP LaserJet Pro 400 M401dw bundles all of HP's latest technologies into a tight package; you get Smart Install that eliminates the hassle of installing off a driver disc, ePrint remote access, and walk-up printing through the USB port on the front, but the 3.5-inch touch-screen display...

The HP LaserJet Pro 400 M401dw's direct USB port; wireless connectivity; and remote printing features offer a variety of ways to interact with the printer

HP Smart Install only works with Windows; and the flimsy touch-screen display impedes usability

Being a purchaser of HP products for the majority of my life, i must say that this printer is a big improvement on my old model, a Laserjet 4000. I was after a model spec for my small office which provided me with speed (i get around 27-30 pages per minute), yet was efficient and had a really good...

Fast; Efficient; very good new wireless features..

Maybe the size; but not too bad

HP LaserJet printers are generally solid printers and this unit is as well, with a couple caveats: Make sure you use HP toner if you want good quality prints; Make sure you get the thing configured properly if you have an enterprise environment and need it to be user-autonomous.

While it won't win any speed records, this auto-duplexing laser offers superior print quality at a reasonable price. (The per-page cost is decent, but less so if you print a lot of pages.)

Excellent print quality; Color touch screen; Auto-duplexing ADF; Large paper-input capacity; EPrint and AirPrint support

Relatively slow for its class; No Wi-Fi connectivity

The M401 is the successor to the LaserJet P2055 – which, according to HP was the world's best-selling laser printer last year – so you can probably expect it to find a home in quite a few offices in the coming months.

fast; affordable laser printer with good network connectivity and AirPrint support

bulky; single-function printer with no scanner

Exactly what I wanted, and it does more than I knew ! I have a good inkjet for photography, but 75% of my needs do not need color at all. This is fast, wireless and duplex, just right . To be able to get it locally at the Walmart just put the frosting on the cake !

So far it seems like a decent, basic printer that will work well. Just be willing to accept the blinking power light or plan to cover the power button somehow to make it stop.

Small footprint; simple setup; prints fast

When the printer goes into sleep mode the power light on the front of the printer blinks every 3-seconds; It's very bright and it cannot be disabled; HP Support staff (in the product forums) have been unhelpful basically saying this is a "feature" than cannot be disabled.
