Tuned for speed and attractive output, the HP LaserJet Pro 400 Color Printer M451dn is a small-office printer that sings - but it hits a sour note with high-priced toner and expensive memory.

We use these printers in 6 of our 9 locations and print all the tags for showrooms from 30000 to 65000 sq ft. The printer does a wonderful job and hold up very well for the use and abuse we put it through. We have been using this model of printer for over a year with little to no downtime.

I have spent a lot of money to have to get up after every 2-3 pages to clear the print jams. Glad it's under warranty and I have my receipt...

NOTHING

This printer jams like crazy

I own and operate a small invitation business and outsource MOST of my printing to large commercial print companies but I wanted something in house to small runs for things like dinner menus or place cards.

I had the laser color printer 2025 and really liked it and it did a great job until it got old and lost it's memory. Would have been nice for the cartridges to fit the new one.

Easy to Use; Meets Expectations

does not use cartridges from 2025

prints fine and fast
has issues after 10 days using it, got empty or broken pages, i called HP, asked me to open front door and remove the toners and place him back, now works great

Compact Design; Easy To Set Up; Easy To Use

We've only had it two weeks but we've been very happy with it so far. The toners are affordable though I wish that more than just the black toner came in high yield. Also wish that it could print full bleed but we are so happy with it otherwise we don't care about that.

Compact Design; Easy To Set Up; Easy To Use; Excellent Color Quality; Reliable; Varied Paper Sizes

No Color High Yield Toner; Slow Print Time

if HP is in bed with financial "insurance scam" crooks, then it's probably in my best interest to avoid HP for the forseable future. I also regret buying the HP since a much better featured, top brand, color laser - with scanner built in - came out on NewEgg at a much much better price.

The product listing was spectacular with the featured product protection plan

The insurance company is dirty, their so-called protection is an outright scam IMHO; First, they don't tell you that you're not covered unless you go out of your way to find their so-called policy form; Since you paid for it, wouldn't they just send it to you if they were not crooks

We bought this to replace the same 3-year-old model, which had almost 200,000 prints. It's a solid little workhorse. One negative for us: the toner costs. We use this in an educational environment, and (even though we used greyscale as the default) we ran around $3-4,000 per year in toner.

Fast; Performance

toner costs

Does it do its job? The main points are: are the prints high quality? Is it fast enough? Is it reliable? The print is all three. Then is it affordable. The cost of the printer itself is okay, but per- cost is relatively high since toner is expensive. Other things are good.

Reliable; fast; and quality prints

Toner is expensive
