This is a great printer/scanner for a small office. Purchased this for the scanner functionality of double sided scanning in a single pass. We've been using this for a week and it works great so far and love the small footprint. Printing has been smooth, great quality and duplexing works well. Ordered the large capacity tray (worth it). Label and envelope printing works well too! We mostly print usual office items: documents/presentations, labels and envelopes. Nothing requiring high resolution/graphic level output.
Some things to note: Scanning - slightly slower pick up speed than our B&W HP MFP, but that isn't critical. The lower receiving tray for ADF could be a little bigger (as larger, multiple page documents fly off the end). I really like being able to program Quick sets for those frequently used scan settings! However, I think 8.5 x 14 should be a standard scanning size without having to program a Quick Set to do this. Would also like to be able to customize the display page, so we could orient more frequently used apps toward the beginning. (Especially since the display screen is small and icons are a tad large. Good for seeing/but they don't all fit at one time on the display area.)
Haven't set up the fax portion yet, so I can't comment on that.
Even with the small inconveniences, for the price, this MFP is very worthy and can't be beat! Durability will only come with time. Our other HP Color LaserJet (printer only) lasted 15 years...
I would recommend this to a friend!

Excellent printer our only problem was getting it to understand CIFS (Samba). We can email scanned documents. That works fine - or we can save them to a thumb drive.
I would recommend this to a friend!

One of the first things I needed to do was copy legal forms for my husband's business. I have yet to figure out how to do so!!! How can you not make a copy of a legal size form?!
Eventually I scanned and printed it. Otherwise, I am very happy with it; but really!!!!! And I bought it after reading all the reviews and because of all the excellent reviews!!

HP doesn't tell you this machine won't work with anything other than an old-fashioned land line. It doesn't work with VOIP phone lines, which most people have now.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi there.
I’m sorry to hear that your printer experienced a paper jam only a month after you bought it. I can certainly see why that would be a dubious start to owning a new printer, so I’ll try to offer some helpful suggestions.
I’ve looked over the troubleshooting documents on paper jams for this model, and numerous possibilities exist. I recommend that you follow the link below and then select “Jams & Feed Problems” from the pulldown menu. You can choose the option that best fits what happened with your printer:
- support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-color-laserjet-pro-mfp-m478-m479-series/19202514/model/19202521/troubleshooting
If the problem persists, I recommend that you contact us directly at +1 800-474-6836 so we can help you assess the situation and guide you through any applicable troubleshooting. (Please note that because of restrictions on personal movement and workplace attendance associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, wait times for agents are longer than normal. Thanks in advance for your understanding.) To expedite the process, I recommend gathering the following information before the call:
- Model number
- Serial number
- Your location
- Case number (from any previous contact with HP support)
I'll also mention that HP printers have a one-year warranty from their purchase date that covers hardware as well as ink supplies, so if it comes to that, you might consider making use of it. You can verify the warranty using the following link: support.hp.com/us-en/checkwarranty

THis is horrible to set up and still having trouble. Would probably be great if the set up were easy.
