HP Color LaserJet Pro M454dn Printer, Double-Sided Printing & Built-in Ethernet (W1Y44A) White

I got this for 180 from amazon resale. it came in the original box with everything but the paper samples. the starter toners were already installed but registered at 100% upon removal and reinsertion and HP still let me register it for the full 1 year warranty. its fast and quiet, the only thing i dont like is how long it takes for printer properties to come up since it's networked and has to use IPP to get them (dont ask me why i dont know) but other than that, the prints are great, and for over 50% off i'm very pleased. I dont need the sample paper, I have enough photo/high grade/normal paper and they all work, the photo prints aren't bad since this takes the thick HP 4x6 glossy paper in the pull out tray, and they come out nice. It did come with the 800 page starter toners for all 4 but the printer registered 2 pages printed and the toners at 100% so I'm probably going to keep it. I dont need wifi (my whole house is wired for 10G) and i dont need fax or scanning (25 5 year old inkjet i have that scans and faxes can still do that if the nozzles clog) but, yeah, i cant say anything bad about amazon resale and this printer. it works perfect and the firmware on the one i have lets you turn the toner chip/authentication off so you can use the 130 210XL toner kits from 3rd party places. again, its fast, quiet, came with everything but the paper samples, security was the default code (which i changed through the jet direct web interface) and quality is great. For the price its awesome for one person or a small office. Just turn automatic firmware check/update off and you're good. HP will honor the warranty of these even though amazon says they wont

DO NOT BUY THIS PRINTER!!! I have been an HP fan for 30 years and always had great luck. This machine couldn’t be made more cheaply - rickety plastic that breaks, absolute garbage. Print quality is horrible. Very expensive toner doesn’t last long at all. So disappointed. I will NEVER buy an HP again.

I purchased this printer to replace an HP3600N color laser printer that can't be fixed anymore. It died a horrible death.I had originally intended to connect the printer to a Windows 7 Dell Optiplex 970 but found this to be impossible. The drivers from HP refused (failed) to work so I hooked it to a Dell XPS laptop with Windows 11. The printer automatically updated its firmware, the proper drivers were installed, and I printed a beautiful image as a test, all in a little over two minutes.The printer is fast, far quieter than its predecessor, and the images are much nicer. I don't yet know about toner use rates. The *pages* they tell you probably not be the same as what you experience.One thing, make absolutely sure you register the printer online. Verify the warranty start date is the date you're registering it and not some time in the past. FYI.If this printer lasts the 20 years like the last one did, I'll be happy (and old). I'll update this when I get some idea on the toner usage.The toner cartridges are nestled behind the drop down manual paper feed door. This is the top door on the front you can hinge down. You have to press a button on the left side to access the toner cartridges. This area is where the product SERIAL NUMBER and PRODUCT NUMBER label is located. You may need a photo of this label in the future. That's a hint.The ON/OFF button is a small rectangular LED lit button on the top right of the front the printer. I may have missed it in the manual but had a problem finding it. It's not anywhere near the line cord. Not that it was hidden, but it matched so well it as almost stealth. Sometimes it's the simple things...

Delivery was very fast - the next day! The box got wet, but the contents were fine. It's a heavy printer. I downloaded the initial firmware to a Mac, and connected the Mac to the printer with a USB cable (using the USB-B port on the printer), but the installer couldn't find a connection to the printer. (The printer was out of range of the WiFi, and too heavy to move conveniently.) But the old diagnosis was right - "the problem is probably with the connector" - and a different USB cable worked fine. Then I connected it via Ethernet to a router. Assigning a static IP address could have been simpler. That done, the Mac was able to print - color and double-sided and fast!However, the main machine for this printer runs Linux. I installed it with CUPS "Defaults: job-sheets=none, none media=na_letter_8.5x11in sides=two-sided-long-edge", but it insisted on printing single-sided -- using evince with "page setup = two sided, long edge", or acroread or atril with the same. Or "lp -o sides=two-sided-long-edge". Eventually I visited the printer's own web page, and on the "Print" tab, under "Duplex Settings", I found "Duplex Disable". I changed that to "Enable", and the Linux apps could print double-sided. I don't understand how the Mac succeeded, or how duplex printing got disabled, but I'm glad it's working now.

This was really easy for our IT team to set up. The only thing that was new for us was that the password for the admin page is on a sticker inside the area where the toner cartridge goes. All of that is clear in the instructions -- but you know how IT guys don't necessarily read the instructions first. LOLThe office has been happy with the easy of use and the print quality, and we haven't had issues -- so we give it an A+

I bought a reconditioned unit that ran good, however, ran low of toner after 200 color copies.

If you liked your i-pod you'll love the controller, if not you're going to hate it.
