HP LaserJet Pro 400 M401dn

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....

HP LaserJet Pro 400 M401dn

The HP LaserJet Pro 400 M401dn monochrome laser printer offers better than par output quality and paper handling. But it's slow.

High-quality text. Ethernet. Built-in duplexer and 300-sheet capacity standard. 800-sheet maximum.

Slow.

Expert Review

Although, HP`s printer M401dn is available with many enchanting features, it lacks in few points. Yes, the device lacks on Wi-Fi connectivity. Accompanied by this, the cartridges for this printer are quite expensive (pricier than average toner)

All in all, the M401dn Printer is perfect for the business that relies heavily on the concept of the paper office, yet still demands high quality and speed. The sleek interface is easy to understand and navigate! Ushered by this, it can be concluded...

Nice medium load office printer

So far, these little 401's have worked out great for us. We've deployed about 6, and we haven't encountered any issues. And you can't beat the price on the refurbished models!

decent printer

Comes with the HP web print service turned on by default. As soon as you plug the printer in to the network and power it on it starts talking to HP's servers over the net. Not something I'm interested in having in our office so had to take time to...

fast, has auto duplex feature, network ready, reasonable high-capacity toner cartridges available

The touch screen "appendage" seems odd, but works fine. I could see it getting bumped into frequently depending where the printer was located. It's just a little strange, but didn't prevent me from still liking the printer

Not bad

4 eggs since there was some negative, we will see how they fair after 100,000 pages.

I bought 3 of these so far. I've got at least 80 of the P2055dn. These duplex which is good and with the HP universal driver can be puched out easy over a printserver in server 2008. So far these are reliable printers. It has a touch screen which is a...

It has a huge touch screen. Why HP? Its not needed, keep things simple. It is also much louder than it's predecessor. The software that it came with too for ever to install. I ended up throwing it on a server to speed things up. Good thing it had a...
