HP LaserJet Pro 400 Color Printer M451dn Review: Great Output, Pricey Toner

The $500 (as of April 2, 2012) HP LaserJet Pro 400 M451dn color laser printer produces extremely nice output--including photos--and is very speedy for a model in this price range. It also has an automatic duplexer, a feature missing from the $450...

Nice output quality ; Good performance

Pricier-than-average toner

Tuned for speed and attractive output, this small-office printer sings--but it hits a sour note with high-priced toner and absurdly expensive memory.

HP LaserJet Pro 400 Color Printer M451dn review

If you print in any sort of volume, the ongoing costs for any model in the M451 product line will hurt you eventually - especially if you print lots of colour. Alternatives in this price range include the Dell 2150cdn and Brother HL-4570CDW; the...

Dead On Arrival

Most of them are good little printers for the money

Dead on Arrival - Be careful of lemons - get them installed and tested before the return period expires for newegg.

HP M451dn

The prints come out looking good. The big plus is this printer is a duplex color and that has worked without any problems. I don't think I have has a single paper jam and I have owed it for over a year. The supplies web server built in works well.

Toners are a little small but that is to be somewhat expected considering the printer has to hold four colors and there is only so much space.

Great printer so far

bottom line is this...this printer is $289.00. a 4 pack of toner to refill it is $352.00. WHY would i not just buy a brand new printer instead of refilling it with toner for more money? if i recall, its been this price for a long time...this is not a...

crisp, clear print jobs, duplex printing is a big plus for our assembly department (printing instructions to go in product packages).

none so far, but only been using it a month

Great printer

If you have space, it's a great way to have an extra printer for occasional color printing. I wouldn't use it as a primary printer in a high volume office - that's what black/white laser printers are for.

Works like an HP. Never a problem, ever. Monitoring software keeps me up to on supply levels (toney, paper).

Toner is not cheap.
