So far, so good! 2 years of usage, there have been no major failures or issues with it, other than a few paper jams and the substandard colors that it produces out of the box. I usually go through printers every two or three years, as I do a ton of color proofing for clients in my sign shop.

I was a little concerned since this was an open box, but it turned out that it had only printed 5 pages, and I couldn't resist the $275 price. Judging by the paper settings, I'm guessing the previous owner had a problem with printing envelopes.

Excellent colour rendition for graphics

Had a little alignment issue (blurry colour lines) at first, but doing a calibration fixed it; It's bigger than my prev; Samsung ML2851; Prints a bit slow for duplex (compared to my B&W Samsung laser)

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 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.

HP's LaserJet Pro M451dn is a lesson in inoffensive product design. Its white front and top panel integrate nicely with the black base and sides, with a few curves thrown in just to soften things up.

It's a competent colour laser, but due to high print costs, HP's sluggish M451dn doesn't exactly set the heart pounding

Prints color images a lot clearer then I had expected. I have the printer setup as a network printer and the installation was pretty straight forward for me, just set the IP I wanted the printer to use on the printer before attaching to the network and everything fell into place.

I bought two of these printers for work, having been a fan of HP lasers for the last 25 years. They don't fail to impress - fast and quiet, easy to set up, support AirPrint for the office iPads, excellent print quality, and look good! Toner cartridges super easy to swap out, no downside so far!

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.

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
