This new MFP from HP looked promising, but falls short due to their terrible software and driver bundle and lack of proper network scanning.
Replaced a Brother inkjet MFP that was half the price. The print quality on this laser is quite good, though the toner cartridges are puny and expensive, it may end up costing about the same to run as the brother inkjet.
Biggest issue is you have to install hundreds of megabytes of software just to use the printer. With the brother, it was a 16 megabyte driver that included network TWAIN scanning, and the rest was optional.
Typically business marketed network MFP's in this price range have network scanning (dell/brother/kyocera, where one can simply walk up to the device and send your scan by email, FTP, or server file share. This is not possible with this model. The only way to scan is to run the HP toolbox on your PC and then walk over to where the printer is, then load your document and walk back. Anyone trying to use this with more than a few employees is going to go nuts.
You can scan to a USB key, which is nice, but you can't even pick your PC from the screen. I don't see the point of the 3" color touchscreen when you can't really use it for anything but setting number of copies and other basic settings you never really change.
It won't go on a wireless and wired network at the same time, which is typical, though I would have liked to make it available on the public wifi for guests to use.
The first print is pretty quick, only about 10 seconds, though the pages per minute are a bit slow, printing long 100+ page documents will take a while.
I'd recommend this unit for home use only where it'll likely be used occasionally and by a few people. It'll be great for that since the ink can't dry out like inkjets, and the software is easy to use once you get it loaded. Businesses should look elsewhere.

I purchased this item directly from HP's small-medium business (SMB) center. I was looking for a printer to replace my Brother MFC-9840CDW, which is a color/wireless all-in-one (AIO). Brother had not come out with a newer model that bettered this AIO that I have had for a couple of years. Since I was going to have to buy multiple new Brother toner cartridges for color, which would be 1/2 the price of a completely new model, I was in the market for a new AIO. My reqirements were AIO, laser, color, wireless networking and good user feedback. My Brother repair center told me that they can definitely tell the difference in HP color printers versus the other guys. Since my Brother gave out weak/light color prints, and the color accuracy was pretty bad, I wanted to like the HP LaserJet Pro CM1415fnw, which just came out and did not have any user comments.
I purchased from HP's SMB with a 30-day return policy. If you go through another center, your return period may be shorter. When I opened the box, only the main unit and an installation guide were inside. The box said I should get power/USB/phone cables and an installation CD, but they were missing. Due to a backorder delay, I was advised to order a new unit and ship the old one back. I got the drivers online and used a spare 3-prong computer-type power cable to test out the unit. Based on my findings in the rest of this review, I will be returning the HP for my money back.
I wanted wireless to minimize the cables going into my Apple Mac mini (mid-2010) which also has built-in wireless networking. I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit via Boot Camp. You initially need the USB cable so the installation software can configure the unit to your computer and router. Once that was done, the computer was able to see the HP right away. This was much easier than the Brother, which required me to manually configure both the computer and AIO, and I had to call Brother's customer service, even though I am computer savvy.
I don't need much color, since I mostly print documents, nevertheless I would only consider laser for black or color. The color is definitely better than Brother. However, the color on the HP is a little too saturated and printing color is not quite as sharp as printing black. I made a color copy of a color copy, and the saturation increased, further distorting the original image. You get starter toner cartridges that are about 60% full. HP is not the only manufacturer doing that these days.
The paper tray is a puny 150 pages. The Brother has a 250-sheet tray and I purchased a 500 sheet 2nd tray. You cannot add a second tray to the HP. Also, the HP does not have a manual feed tray for envelopes or other paper. The Brother nicely holds 3 envelopes at a time in its manual feed tray. The HP claims to have a manual feed for envelopes, but all it does is pause printing until you pull out the tray, pull out your paper, slide the guides to envelope size, insert your envelopes, close the tray, and then you may have to tell it to print the envelope (I never bothered to print an envelope from the HP after discovering how convoluted the process is). I would have likely kept the HP if it had a manual feed for envelopes, and I only had to pull out the tray to add fancy bond paper. This AIO is not made for any office work in which you print letters, unless you only print envelopes in batches. So why would any home or small office buy one?
When I print a letter to my Brother, my Word document has the first page(s) formatted as an envelope(s) and the remaining pages letter-size. The documents also have Word's Page Setup defined to pull paper from the designated tray: manual feed for envelopes, 250-sheet Tray 1 for letter-size bond paper for correspondence, and 500-sheet Default Tray (Tray 2) for regular letter-size paper for everything else.
I liked the fact that the HP has a color touchpad as its user interface. But in real use in making copies, you have to touch the screen to wake it up and then hit the print button. Dedicated print buttons would have been preferred, one for black and one for color like the Brother.
The unit stays pretty quiet and printing noise is not excessive. I do not notice the fan running as loud as the Brother after a print or copy job. It occasionally self-calibrates, but infrequent enough to not be excessively annoying. The HP's first page out when printing comes out in one-third or one-quarter the time as the Brother, which takes about 1-minute from sleep mode and acts like it is printing 3-pages before it actually prints the first page. The HP is smaller than the Brother, but I would gladly trade a little height to get a bigger tray and options for a manual feed or an additional tray.

This all-in-one printer is good at some things, but not good at others.
Printing black and white documents. Rating: 4 stars
Very clear, crisp black text like you'd expect from a laser. Its only problem is it doesn't produce very good grays. The grays sometimes have some ugly line or grain patterns in them, even though the same document prints fine on my inkjets. Running the printer's color calibration didn't improve anything.
Copying black and white documents. Rating: 4 stars
Copies of black text are indistinguishable from the original. However, some grays in black and white documents either don't show up or are faded with uneven print and are hard to see. Adjusting the darkness and other settings doesn't cure the problem.
Printing documents with 12pt colored text in many different colors. Rating: 3 stars
Although the majority of the colors look good and are a good match to what is on screen, some of the colors have ugly line patterns in them. Running the printer's color calibration didn't improve anything. Neither did updating the firmware, adjusting settings, and making sure I had the latest drivers. The same documents do not have this problem when printed on my inkjet connected to the same system.
Copying color documents with 12pt colored text in many different colors. Rating: 2 stars
This is one of the big reasons I decided to return the unit. Although many of the colors do look good and are a good match to the original, some look smudgy, even though they are clear in the original. Other colors look faded with uneven print. Adjusting the darkness and other settings, running the color calibration, etc., did not improve anything. The same documents copied on a couple of Canon all-in-one inkjets look MUCH better.
Copying the same 12pt colored text document in black and white copy mode. Rating: 1 star
Much of the text is unreadable. Much of the rest is grainy. Although problems like this when trying to copy a color document in black and white mode are common on consumer grade all-in-ones.
I normally don't print photos, so I didn't test this ability. However, lasers are not a good choice for printing photos.
I did scan a color picture and got good results. Color matching wasn't perfect but was decent. Flesh tones were good.
I didn't use the fax, wireless, ethernet, or document feeder on the scanner, so I can't comment on those.
Hooking up the unit by USB and installing the software on Vista 32 bit was easy. However, the software installed some autostarting bloatware junk. The software does give the option of just installing print and scan drivers or the HP Toolbox and other stuff as well. I probably should have just installed the scan/print drivers, as this might have eliminated that problem.
This printer also draws less power than some other brands of laser printers, according to its specs. I've read that some brands of laser printers will actually dim the room lights on startup. This was not a problem on this model.
There is one important thing to note about this printer if you ever intend to conserve color toner by printing color documents in grayscale (black and white). The printer may still consume color toner by mixing all 4 colors to produce different shades of gray or black. You need to specify in the print driver settings to use black toner only for grayscale if you want to conserve color toner when printing in grayscale. This setting is mentioned in Chapter 8, Table 1 of the electronic version of the manual.
