H-P covered the bases with this printer. I have used H-P at my office for years but bought this one for home use. It has printed abut 5,000 copies, flawlessly, so far. It is very easy to set up and operate. The controls are clear and easy to work--if you want to abort a printing job, it can be done by pressing one orange button--act of Congress not required. So far it has not ruined a print--not one. Thanks H-P for this product. (No, I don't work for Hewlett-Packard.)

I recently purchased the 4050 from Amazon and couldn't be more pleased with the quality, ease of installation and use of this printer. The 1200 dpi is spectacular and halftones look great. The built-in Postscript capability is a godsend and I can't believe the speed with which the 4050 delivers copies! Although a printed manual would have been an asset, I haven't needed to look at the documentation disk. I highly recommend this printer for those who need a high-volume, top quality machine.

I've had the opportunity to use this printer (home use) for the past 2 years (it was my roommate's). The thing is so fantastic and dependable I forget it's even there; I think that's the true measure of an excellent product - when using it becomes completely transparent. I've come to expect this top-notch quality and dependablility; I have no idea what I'm going to buy to try and replace it now that I'm moving out.

Changing the toner cartridge is a walk in the park. It takes longer to fill an ice cube tray. There are so many flaps and doors on the thing that clearing a paperjam (of which we had one over the past 2 years, and it was my fault for loading the paper crooked) was simple and quick. I especially like the separate loader tray that easily accepts envelopes, cards and (my favorite) CD labels. After you're done with the loader tray, it folds up into the unit.

We also have the 4050 TN's (has an additional paper tray) at work - I can attest that these puppies can handle a seriously high volume of print jobs - flawlessly. I don't know what the pages-per-minute number is, but I can't imagine you needing anything to be much faster.

Purchased printer approx. two months ago. Super fast and easy setup. One small downside: unable to print more than one sheet of paper or envelope at a time with drawer one (single sheets only) but does a great job with large capacity printing (drawer 2/holds up to 600 sheets) which is what I need the most. Ink quality is great and found a super deal for a 6000 print capacity toner cartride/$26.00 w/o tax and shipping on web! And since I print lots of forms over a given month, I love the speed and simplicity. Saves me time, energy and money. No longer have to run to a print shop for copies. Whew, so glad I purchased - would do again in a heart beat!

Wanted to give everyone an update about my printer and to let you know that it is still going strong after all this time and a whole lot of pages (WHEW!) Deduced how to print more than one envelope and continued sheets at a time from drawer one (had to refigure a few things in the printer settings) and now its working like a top. Have had no smears, no paper snags and still on my second cartridge (of 6000 sheets) since my first review. Folks, I'm still smiling and thankful that I had purchased this printer when I did. It has really been a blessing to me in more ways than you can imagine from scanning and printing, to making large groups of copy and from those simple "hurry up" sheets that I need to print at the very last minute. When my printer is not in use it goes into powersave mode (sleep). But not to worry, at a slight click to print, it awakens quickly and steps right into gear. Thanks again Amazon for this great offer. I don't miss my former Xerox one bit!

This is one of the best laser printers I have ever used. Highly
recommended.

I bought this as a refurbished product but it's built like a tank and has been running without a hitch since I purchased it. Well worth the price, shipping and packaging were outstanding. Would buy again in an instant.

This printer is worth every penny, we bought it when they came out with this model, so we paid full price. I do not regret it in the least. We have over 90,000 prints and it still works great. Its still in our office and thats all we use.

I have at least one to two of this model printer in the offices I work at because they are so reliable, and need minimal maintenence. The toner last for many sheets of printing (never counted, but I know I probably go more than 1000 sheets at least). The printer rarely jams (except when I used really cheap thin paper), and the secretaries love the sheet feed selection if having to use overhead paper for a letter. The quality of the print (i believe up to 1200dpi) is great for black and white. Highly recommended investment, quite likely one of the last printers your office will need.

The printer came in and the print quality was terrible. We cleaned the rollers and have to replace the toner cartridge that was delivered with the machine. This printer should be a workhorse, however, if the print quality is bad you can't use it. Hopefully when the new toner cartridges arrive the machine could be used.
