Full disclosure: I didnt buy this printer through amazon. But I DO own one and I have had it for four years. So I thought you might be interested in an opinion from a long-term owner. I do computer and network support for a living, so Id like to think I can evaluate a printer well. That being said, I LOVE this printer! I use mine in my home/office. For four years its been printing like a champ. Two years ago I bought the optional HP wireless print server designed for this model printer. Its basically a USB printer server that is controlled by the printer firmware. That too works fantastic. I simply have NO problems with this printer. The print quality is just fine. And this printer consistently prints fast. The manf. rating is 45PPM and thats what I get. And its not very noisy when it prints. For such a fast printer, it prints quietly. When I bought this printer, I was wanting to avoid Brother brand laser printers. They work quite well, but they last 3-5 years. I was longing for the "good old days" when an HP printer would last 1 to 2 DECADES. And I honestly expect this printer to have such a lifetime. At four years old it shows absolutely no signs of wear or age. Also, I have had no issues using quality aftermarket (Non-HP) toner cartridges in this printer.
