HP LaserJet Pro 400 M401n

The HP LaserJet Pro 400 M401n monochrome laser printer offers a reasonably high paper capacity and better than par output quality.

High quality text. Ethernet. Total 300-sheet capacity standard with 50-sheet multipurpose tray. 800-sheet maximum.

No duplexer, even as an option.

HP LaserJet Pro 400 M401n

Design The LaserJet Pro M401dw's design is a new look for HP LaserJet printers as older models give way to new technology -- in this case, the latest addition is the 3.5-inch color touch-screen mounted to a plastic arm that lifts out of machine. A...

The HP LaserJet Pro 400 M401dw's direct USB port, wireless connectivity, and remote printing features offer a variety of ways to interact with the printer.

HP Smart Install only works with Windows, and the flimsy touch-screen display impedes usability.

The $399 HP LaserJet Pro 400 M401dw bundles all of HP's latest technologies into a tight package, but the 3.5-inch touch-screen display doesn't offer enough unique features to warrant the price jump to $400, especially compared with competing devices....

On its positive end, you will appreciate the high quality text, total 300-sheet capacity standard with 50-sheet multipurpose tray

You won`t find duplexer, even as an option

All in all, if HP Laser Jet Pro 400 M401n printer included a duplexer, offered a lower running cost, or both, it would be a compelling choice. As it is, if you need duplexing, you should obviously be looking at the M401dn instead. But if you don`t need...

HP LaserJet Pro 400 Printer M401n

I replaced an HP 1220 that I had for many years and worked great, but I wanted wireless and more speed. Got it with this printer. Do not like the paper trays because you have to open up the manual feed tray or the main tray to print checks/labels, etc....

Disappointed

I've been using a 1320 for years in the office so I was really excited about getting this new check printer....boo. I've installed and uninstalled and wasted more of my boss's money than if I'd purchased a bigger, color model. This printer locks up...
