I love the HP MFP M479 printer. It was super easy to install, I’m so proud of myself. We are baby boomers & not born during the computer age but didn’t need special skills for the setup. HP is a name we trust, we have one at our home & this one was for our beach house. If we have a need in the future we will not hesitate to purchase another HP!
Plug-and-play set up, good graphics (for my small business applications), quieter than the HP printer it replaced. The ink will be less expensive than the HP printer it replaced (unheard of, right?). We're pleased.
I love this printer it was the perfect choice for me. This is my second HP printer I still use the first one for smaller jobs but this new one is just what I needed.
Would not recommend for office use. Printing 300 pages and it stopped half way thru and gave a warning that the printer was too hot and it would finish my print job later…poorly designed and manufactured.
HP has evolved over the years, and I no longer find them the value I used to. They used to have spectacular print quality. I have a 15 year old color LaserJet that does better than this. I switched because the mirrors got dirty causing the print to look faded and I needed an all-in-one to replace my inkjet and reduce the footprint on my desk. For the price I expect more. Getting this hooked up was a pain. The terminology in the description led me to believe this printer was wireless. Getting a direct Lan cable to the printer has been impossible due to the house design. I ran a temporary cable to the printer, and everything hooked up fine though you have to go find which software you want to install (I remember the good days when it came with a CD), Now the problem ... One day I was in a hurry to print a document and didn't want to run the temporary cable through the house, so I decided to quickly install the USB driver. It looked correct. The printer properly detected the printer and the accessories, but no matter what I tried, the printer would only install the monochrome driver and I really needed to print a color document. While trying to fix it a tragedy of events took place and I ended up rebuilding my computer. I never had this much trouble getting a printer to work. HP has complicated things too much and has started relying on generic print drivers instead of developing their own and it shows in the quality.
