HP Laserjet Pro M452dw Wireless Color Printer, (CF394A)

I returned a previous BW laser to order this printer because of its wireless features. I had a brief problem printing labels, not because of the printer but because the Avery software program did not permit me to adjust the printer settings back to default. Therefore I had to telephone HP and they instructed me over the phone how to reset the default settings. Avery denied the problem was caused by their software.The machine is heavy, 40 pounds of weight, so I would advise anyone not to attempt moving it from place to place without some assistance. It is about the size of a large microwave oven. You will hear it when printing but the noise level is medium. I like the envelope feed tray, I open the front door and load envelopes, very simple and they print correctly. I've used it to print postage stamps, labels, color prints, envelopes, letters and long documents. So far, everything prints great, except for the package mailing labels. The printer roller, after printing these labels transferred the ink to the next print job and I had black stripes across the pages of my document. Only does this with the Avery labels, so I do not know if it's a product problem or a printer problem. Since I rarely print labels, it is not a major headache.I use it strictly as a wireless printer and it takes about ten seconds for the job to go from PC to printer. Once it starts to print, it prints fast.Highly pleased with this printer, I did not want to purchase it due to the price, but I believe the quality is worth the price.

I got this to replace my color HP Laserjet 2500 which I bought refurbished 12 years ago (it was a fantastic printer and I almost had a memorial for it). I was hoping this one would be just a good and especially at such a great price. It's only been a few days but so far so good. I'm on Mac OS 10.8.2 and setup was super easy. I printed 160 double sided newsletters for a client's local mailing in a 1/4 the time it would take on my old printer. The printing is crisp so I'm happy about that. I have a home-based graphic design business and do a lot of printing so time will tell.UPDATE: Well I wrote too soon - right after I published my review, my new printer informs me that my toner is down to 5%! I printed 320 8.5/11 full color pages and that pretty much used up the CMY. My old printer really did print thousands of color pages before running out. Not sure what to do now, I don't really need to print for clients just myself but geeze for the cost of the cartridges, this is still going to eat up my budget. Not sure what I'm going to do yet, return it or use it very sparingly. The quality of print and time to print are excellent. So disappointed after being so elated - now my stomach hurts.FURTHER UPDATE 2/8/17: I don't think I was really paying attention to the color when I first plugged it in. I'm really disappointed in the color output. In spite of my best efforts to adjust color settings between my software apps and the printer (which I shouldn't have to do anyway) the color is dull and faded looking. In fact, no matter what I adjust it all prints out the same - bland. Areas with less than 35% color drop off completely. That's ridiculous. I got what I paid for. My HP Laserjet 2500 was excellent. What I saw on my screen is pretty much what I saw on paper and cartridges lasted a long time. I would not recommend this printer or purchase again.

I've done a lot of full color printing on HP color laser printers and this printer is by far my favorite! It's very inexpensive and was fast and easy to setup. It prints lightning fast and is much more quite than previous HP color laser printers I've had. The toner cartridges are easy to access and quick to change. I even setup an email address on this thing via hpeprint.com and I can email a file to the printer and it prints it! I like the touch screen on this dw model verses the dn which another family member has. I just printed my first in house production run of about 600 full color sheets on thicker, 100lb text paper and everything looked awesome!One thing to mention about my specific order... When I got the printer I quickly figured out that the print quality was slightly off. (Example: I printed a square box in the middle of the page and the lines were not perfectly straight. They were some what jagged or misaligned.) After some diagnosis via HP support and them checking the serial numbers on each cartridge, I found out that 2 of the toner cartridges, the black and cyan, were slightly defective. HP shipped me replacements at no charge with overnight shipping. They also followed up with me after the replacements arrived to make sure the problem was resolved and it was! Still very satisfied! HP has great support!Overall, this is a great printer and I highly recommend it! If anything changes I will update this review. But so far so good!!!
