Review: Great to Setup and Get Printing - Took the LJ Pro 400M401dw printer out of the box, powered it up, and connected it via RJ45 cable to my wireless router. It pulled an IP address automatically with no problem. Then I went to my desktop, an older Dell XP box and added it as a printer. This box is cable-connected to my wireless router. I used the "local printer attached to this computer" option with "automatically detect and install my PNP printer". Worked great. Told it I had the disk. Gave it the disk drive letter and it quickly installed. I installed it as "shared" on my network. First test page was fast and accurate. Then I went to my iPad, went into my word processing program, opened a file and selected print. The iPad saw the printer, I selected it, and again a nice fast print. Wife did the same thing with her Mac laptop. Lastly, I tried it with a Win 8 laptop. It found the printer immediately and didn't need to download a driver for it. Worked great. The iPad, Mac laptop, and Win 8 Laptop all connect to my home network using wireless. I am very impressed with how easy this went. Follow up Review: I've had this printer for a year now. I'm very happy with it. Put about 5 reams of paper through it and am still on the original cartridge. Prints clear and crisp images. I really love the quick start up time. I've replaced my old WinXP box with a Mac Desktop. It picked the printer right up with no problem. It handles envelopes much better than my inkjet printer ever did. I've had no problems doing double-sided print either. What's really nice is that when visitors come over, they can pick it up on my home network and use it. HP may not know how to run a PC business but they sure do know how to make printers.
Review: Fraudulant Product Listing - When I finally received the printer, I immediately noticed that the serial number on the rear machine tag had been obliterated (both the alphanumeric string and the Code_39 bar code). Additionally, I saw that the product code (advertised as being a CF285A) was also obliterated, although there was enough of the Code_39 barcode left to reconstruct the bar code and read the data from it. I was able to find additional serial number evidence in the machine to use, on the HP web site, along with the true product code, to discover that this printer started life, in 2012, as an HP Laserjet Pro M401dn (CF278A), and showed a service incident at some 38000 impressions. How odd, since the impression count maintained in the printer memory showed only 2 impressions. It is obvious to me that either the main PC Board has been replaced on this printer, or the impressions count has been cleared, to make this printer appear to be virtually unused. In addition, the printer has been re-configured from a 401dn to a 401dw compliment. In aggregate, this is a substantial misrepresentation of the printer, as a saleable unit, and merits consideration for prosecution as a case of interstate mail fraud. While the machine is clean, functions well (at least at this moment), and is representative of a competent re-cert process,, I do note that the 256MB memory DIMM card was held-back from inclusion in the machine--something that will be very difficult to source on todays market; and assert that there was no need to misrepresent the product in the blatant way that has been done with this product listing--although, a true representation of the total impressions that have been handled by this chassis would have pushed the sale price downward significantly. All in all, this is unethical conduct on the part of the seller, and should never be permitted on the desertcart sales platform. I continue my search for a memory module for this printer, and count this as a lesson learned at a time when money is a scarcity in my home, yet printing is a necessity.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this printer have a rear feed that sends paper straight through? I'd like to know so I can print card stock without the 'curl'.**
A: Yes it has a door on the back that has a visual indicator that shows straight through. I have not used it. I have no complaints about this printer.

**Q: Has anyone used this printer with Google Cloud Print? How well does it work? 
Update (23 Dec 12): It seems as if ePrint does not support duplex printing including with Google Cloud Print. Very unfortunate. Though non-duplex Google Cloud Print set-up was pretty easy.**
A: I've set up this printer at my work (hooked up via ethernet), and have successfully printed to it several times from home. I'd say it works pretty well, and if you're thinking of pairing it with a PC or Mac with Google Chrome installed, a Chromebook, or an android tablet using a third cloud print app such as "Cloud Print" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pauloslf.cloudprint - it'll suit you just fine.

**Q: How many PPM ?**
A: Hi - I dont remember what the rating was but compared to some other very decent printers I have had its fast - probably in the mid 20's PPM

**Q: Will this printer work with a laptop via usb port?**
A: This printer does have a USB port on the lower left front of the printer. I assume it is there for a purpose. I have never used it as the printer works excellently with a wireless connection to my laptop. Hope this helps. You may want to contact HP directly or a local store that carries the printer.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ So Far, So Good
*by E***N on January 14, 2013*

We bought a couple of these to replace our 2055dn HP Printers, which were discontinued. Refurbished 2055's were selling for almost $700, and the 3015dn Enterprise lasers (which looked identical to the 2055's) were selling for even more new. These were under $300, which allowed us to buy two for less than one new 3015 enterprise (which seemed to receive poor reviews). That being said, these printers look much nicer, have the same features, and seem to work very well. They're as quiet as the 2055's and much quieter than the 4050's and 2015's we had previously. They start up and print very fast. Only gripe is that windows 7 doesn't recognize the driver, and HP won't just provide the driver without the 43mb software pack. Makes setup more difficult than need be, we ended up using the 2050 driver which is working so far, even with the duplexer. Print quality is excellent and these seem better built than the 2055's. The screen is adequate for setup, working better than the one line screens on other HP printers. The size is more compact than any of our hp printers we've had so far, and even with the screen up, fits well in a deep shelving unit, or cart. Haven't used the wireless, but wired networking was a cinch, and the online interface works like a breeze. We were even able to customize the form length and default font which is an issue other brand printers have with our billing system. Bottom line: for the price, there isn't a better printer out there.
