The paper cartridges are extremely flimsy, I am trying to replace the HP4350n printers with the new stuff, but it is very disappointing. Hp used to be the best printer available, now they are trying to see how cheaply they can build their new units. Might just as well rename them with one of the competitors names and cut the price in half.
Thus far we are very disappointment in the printer's print quality. We are continually having unwanted lines print across the page. We have run the cleaning function multiple times. Considering returning it.
I bought this printer thinking that it would be a workhorse but instead it turned out to be a complete dud! It malfunctioned within a couple of days after I installed it…good luck getting in the phone with someone who can help you. I would find a different model or brand.
This printer does not come ready to print legal size. Another drawer must be purchased and added on. Additionally, our printer continuously jams in the drawer and fuser. To clear the fuser has to be removed. Given the importance on the fuser this seems like a really bad solution. We had HP 4014 and 600 printers for years and never had as many issues as we have had with the 610 in the few months we have had it.
I purchased this to replace an HP Laser Jet 4250 which was a fantastic machine for a good 8 years or so. It tolerated use in a manufacturing facility like a champ. HP recommended this to me as a replacement for what we are using it for. It is not as sturdy or substantial as our old printer. We have jams more frequently and overall we are not as happy with it.
We have had several M601s in service for a long time. No longer supported or available obviously.
The M608 is not a replacement for these units. It is not as robust, jams if you look at it wrong, and the output tray won't hold legal sheets - they just fall out the front.
We intended to use this as our pick ticket printer in our warehouse. It failed miserably. It will not print label stock without jamming. You can only add about 1/3 of the tray full of stock or it will jam. It failed in just about every way.
I repaired the old M601 and put it back in service. The new M608 is now sitting on a shelf.
I ended up finding a dealer that had some new old stock of M601 printers and bought a few from them.
Why the constant change? None of the components are the same. None of the replacement parts. The toner is different. Fail fail fail.
Received printer and within a week it was printing super faded jobs. Did 2 hours worth of technical support and had to return it and get a replacement. It's unfortunate, but maybe the new one will be better.
We've been very pleased with the performance of this printer. It's quick, it's quiet and the quality of the printing has been exceptional. We use it as a primary printer in our dental practice for statements and many other printing needs. We are very satisfied thus far with this purchase.
