Slow to wake up but prints like a champ
So i've just purchased this printer and I am still evaluating it, but so far, mostly good. I'm using it in a home office setup AirPrint connected to a bunch of Mac computers (2 desktops and 3 laptops). The box it was shipped in was rock solid and the printer was well protected, so no issues getting it shipped. The setup could not have been easier - HP has been doing this for years, so plug and play is pretty much plug and play. Paper capacity is good, but for the life of me I can't understand why the paper tray is not a few mm taller to handle an entire ream of paper (maybe my paper reams are too thick?). Print quality is sharp, colors are vibrant. Printer is a little noisy when it gets chugging. My only complaint is the warm up time from waking. The first print of the day always seems to hang and hang (minutes) - the computer says the print is complete and I am still waiting for the chugging to start. Just when I'm about to give up, out comes the print. All subsequent prints come out quickly. Not sure what it is doing from wakeup. The printer is supposed to have a feature where you add a memory stick in the back - I've not done that yet. Perhaps if I do it will speed up the first print of the day? Anyway, so far I am liking my new color laser printer from HP. Overall I am happy with the build quality, fit and finish, print quality, and so far the ink consumption has been sipping rather than guzzling.

The best part is that it works flawlessly
The HP Laserjet Pro M452dw is such a departure from the LaserJet MFP M477fdw that it's hard to believe that they have virtually the same print engine (they use the same toner). You can read my review of the all-in-one/MFP unit (spoiler alert, it is craptastic), but enough about that. Let's talk about the HP Laserjet Pro M452dw. Printouts come out fast with tremendous detail. For a single function device, it does that one thing and it does it perfectly. Is there anything else I could really ask for? Works great with AirPrint, Mac OS X, Windows 10. You can print on the Mac without any additional drivers using AirPrint, or you can install HP's half-decently integrated drivers for additional options. PDFs print fine unlike its all-in-one counterpart. I am much happier and saner having ditched the M477fdw for the M452dw and adding a Fujitsu SnapScan ix500 to my small office.

Fast printer
It's extremely fast and the color is consistent. I see what people mean with the color being different than what shows on the computer but it only seems to be with Microsoft colors when you print from the Internet it is the same color as intended or displayed.

Quiet and fast
HP is the standard for my company. This was the next model in line with what I had. Greatly improved. Very fast to print and quiet. The Ink is still too expensive. I do wish they would downsize this even more. Takes up a lot of room on desk.
