Gets the job done. Working from hime needed something that would last. So far very nice quick quiet machine.

My inkjet printer seemed to need new cartridges about every 20 or 30 pages, since it wasn't being used frequently. Because of the ink costs, I avoided printing. The new M454dw will hopefully be much less expensive to use. The setup was quite easy. There was one screen where I waited for a long time for a step to complete, and finally I scrolled and found a button that needed to be clicked to get to the next step. I was very happy discovering how easy it was to print from my android tablet and phone. I haven't yet discovered a printer driver to get it to print from my Arch Linux laptop without using a usb cable connection. The setup to print from my wife's Windoze computer was also easy.

PROS Take a picture on your smartphone, HP Smart print it directly on your printer. Email your printer things to print. Very fast startup from sleeping. This model has both WiFi and Internet connections. Has four colors (CMYK), so you can print black (K) and not form from color toners. Low emissions so safe for use at home. CONS Not fun to set up. 600dpi is not great for printing photos. Big so not easy to hide away. Heavy so not portable.

I was looking to upgrade my laser printer and chose this one because of all of the great reviews. This is the most problematic printer that I have ever owned. I had an HP Laserjet Pro M283cdw before this and had no serious issues. I purchased this m454dw a couple of weeks ago. The color quality is excellent and it is easy to install. The numerous errors and issues however are overwhelming. Every time I try to print, I get an error message that it is out of paper even though it is not out of paper. The only way I can print is to restart the spooler. It will not print a cleaning page; it freezes every time it is on the cleaning screen. It also is very very slow to print even if you are only printing black text. It cleans after every single page. It also will pop up in window and tell me that there is no driver found. I have now had to reinstall it three times. I needed a reliable printer for full color labels. While the color is much better than my M283cdw, this printer is everything that is wrong with HP hardware. All of the time I am spending troubleshooting errors is not worth the low price.

I replaced my 12-year-old HP color laser with this, and I could not be happier. It is very fast, from the first page out to multiple pages. The color and black and white print quality is great. It is smaller and quieter. It was very easy to set up. I highly recommend this printer.
