I upgraded to this printer for my home office from an earlier HP inkjet printer. The performance and cost/efficiency of laser were the main drivers, as well as better network access and duplex scanning via a document feeder. The printer is very fast for a home printer, printing faster than the warm-up cycle I've experienced in other laser printers.
Networking support is excellent, as long as you aren't looking for Wifi from this particular model. For my Macintosh printers, it works without any drivers, and the Bonjour support provides easy access to guests on my wireless network.
I was surprised at how well the colors turned out when I printed two somewhat difficult test photos from my albums onto plain paper. An inkjet will still beat the quality, especially with darker areas, but it was substantially better than I anticipated. I don't anticipate any problem with color graphics on business documents.
This printer can scan either via the document feeder or via the bed. The document feeder does fairly good document quality at up to 300 dpi, but the bed scanner is significantly better at 1200 dpi. After configuration, you can scan directly from the printer to USB or to a number of other configured network sources including directly to network storage.
The network security features are otherwise difficult to speak to, since they scale well beyond my home office needs.
All in all, I am very happy with this printer. It performs better than every previous printer I've used except in photo printing, which inkjets are somewhat purpose-built for.

My family and I had been using an black and white laser and a color inkjet combo for the longest time. The laser was for fast economical, high quality prints and got the highest use. The inkjet was used sparingly and the ink was uauallyndry when in I needed to print a picture or two. This printer completely changed my workflow and output mechanism. Now I can print reliably in color or black and white anytime and all the time. The lack of wireless printing was a real bummer and I hope a software update down the line fixes that. Overall, we are very happy with the purchase and loved the saved space, ease of setup and printing and best of all the quality is amazing.

Wonderful printer. Love the bright colors for photos and printing greeting cards. Quiet printing and it is fast. Easy to setup wirelessly to my laptop.

Off to a bad start. While setup was easy, the starter ink (said to give 2k copies) gave me about 10 copies before 2 of the 4 tanks were empty. the 4 new once came to 900 bucks, hopefully they last long enough to be worth it. Secondly it cycles every 5-10 minutes and so far I haven't gotten an explanation if this is normal or not... which I doubt it is. Print quality is nice though....
