Expert review by : James Hutchinson (goodgearguide.com.au)

HP LaserJet M1522n

Big, bulky and problematic

Ethernet connectivity, good build quality, fast print speeds

Poor scanning results, no secure print function, slightly inaccurate text, expensive, no fax

Although the only major issue with the LaserJet M1522n is its scanning functionality, there are numerous small niggles that make it a largely unimpressive device. Print speeds are some of the fastest in its class, but an expensive price point is...

HP LaserJet M1522n MFP

A well-priced, speedy, multifunction, mono laser for the small or home office. Sounds good, but does it pass everything with flying colours?

The worst printers ever

HP won't even support the newly purchased parts from their part store because the printer is out of warrant by a month. They expect $40 an hour to trouble shoot over the phone even though they know the problems that we have had in the past. Firmware...

None

We bought 5 of these MFC printers for our company and we replaced 5 of these printers under warranty. The new ones constantly have to be restarted to regain fax function. The ADF malfunctioned on 3, so far. Ordered a roller kit ($40w/shipping) to...

Death printer after a year with very light usage

"We bought this printer for a year and a half. Now it is totally death. I can't even turn it on. What a piece of junk. My previous laserjet4L worked great for the last 15 years. It broke during moving to different house. I think new hp printers are not...

Worst printer ever owned

This is very unfortunate. I spec'ed and evaluated HP printers for many years while working in IT for a global company. How far this company has fallen. While I don't expect this to be a workhorse printer given the price and category, I would expect it...

None

Software is terrible - scan to PC never worked. Formatter board went out twice. Found out from local HP tech that they had a recall. HP Tech Support told me the problem was due to printer plugged into surge protector. Terrible, terrible customer/tech...

I would consider a different printer

I understand that this printer has a one year warranty, and I am over it by 2 months. But for a printer to function for this short of time for this high price I will look elsewhere. I have printer less than 200 pages. Also, I contacted HP about the...

Fast printing, large tray for paper, scanning is above average

After 14 months and VERY low usage (I am basically paperless) this printer began to have issues with quick feeding paper through it. It will happen if my laptop is or is not connected. Sends a single line of wingdings on each page ; Very flimsy plastic...

Printer life not good

"I only had the printer for a year and half and it died. Took it to repairman and he informed me not only did not main board go but so did the scanner board. Recommended not replacing boards as too much money and better off to buy new one; ."
