Rated 5 out of 5 by LNBl from Super-fast printer! Super-fast printing. Printing on both sides is really fast! But a bit loud when printing. Love that the paper tray holds 550 sheets so have to refill paper less frequently.

Rated 1 out of 5 by CCCR from Web printing sucks, I want to return this printer I cannot enable web services and I reached out multiple times for support to no avail. I would like to return this printer because the only reason I bought it was so I could print orders in the office from home.

Rated 5 out of 5 by DorrieL from Recommended Pros: Works great. Fast. Big paper tray. Fantastic upgrade from M404. Large toner will yield 18,000 copies. Cons: Expensive. Toner is very expensive.

Rated 4 out of 5 by FaithfulHPOwner from Just Another Great LaserJet This printer is a replacement for a Laserjet Enterprise M506X. It is practically the same printer, which works for me. So far, the only problem I've had with this printer is that sometimes it takes a very long time to process and print the document, each page taking a lot of processing time. Once it does get going on a print job, it prints much like the old 506, which is good for me in my office setting. All done and said, this is a another great LaserJet from HP. I've tried other brands in the past, but for great, reliable black & white printing there is nothing like a LaserJet for quality, reliable office document printing.

Rated 4 out of 5 by CynthiaM from Slow Printing It's a great printer, but it is slower than expected. I was looking for a comparable printer to our old HP 4550 printers. I was told that this printer was basically the new version, but it definitely doesn't print as fast as the 4550, which is what we really were looking for. So a little disappointed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by PDSm from M501dn does the job! This was a replacement for a worn-out ten year old HP 3015dn laser printer, which was a workhorse. The M501dn five months ago and seems to be of equal quality. It does the job!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Elena55 from I am an HP LazerJet fan since early 1990's. This is my third HP LazerJet in almost 30 yeras! Two previous printers were reliable and long lasting, served me well. I love the new one and hope it is as reliable as my 2 previous HP LazerJets.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Lisa B from M501dn Lasterjet Pro I really like this printer; I had an older HP printer that I was reluctant to give up but it finally broke down. I called HP, told them what model I had and asked for a similar printer. The salesman told me the comparable printer and in 10 minutes the deal was done. The printer arrived about a week later. It was easy to hook up to my network system and I was surprised how much better this printer was than my old HP. It prints really fast with great quality. I should not have waited as long as I did to replace my old HP.

Rated 1 out of 5 by TonyCPA from Not like previous HP printers. Don't buy Bought two model M501 to replace two other HP printers, models 4200 and 3015. These weigh half as much which tells you something. Why I wouldn't buy again is they don't print landscape. Checked everywhere on the net and these is not a practical fix. Emailed HP but have never had a response. Have used heavy duty HP printers for the last 25 years and this shortcoming is absolutely unbelievable for any printer company to allow a product out without testing or without contacting a customer immediately with an update. Feel like they are a waste of money.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Dozerdog from Recommend We are four reams in to our new printer (installed less than two weeks ago) and performance has been perfect. We needed a workhorse and it looks like we chose wisely.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Aerin from Perfect for my purposes As a self-employed writer, editor, desktop publisher, and writing teacher, I need a B&W laser printer for printing large quantities of drafts, and I hate having to add paper to the tray. When my workhorse LaserJet 4050 finally became unusable, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to find a B&W laser printer with a large tray at a reasonable price. I went with the M501, even though it's overkill for the quantity I print, because a 550-sheet tray came standard. It's also super fast. I occasionally need to print 2-sided, and the auto-duplexing is fabulous — wish I'd gotten that years ago. The footprint is exactly the same as the 4050, and it's not even as tall. I love the printer, but I knocked a point off of performance for a couple minor annoyances -- every so often, the printer thinks it's out of paper when it's not (something the 4050 never, ever did), and I have to open and close the tray. I also find it harder to load paper. And when I use the auto-duplexing, pages sometimes push other pages out of the output tray. I finally figured out that a little plastic piece that flips up at the end of the output tray is (I guess) intended to keep the pages in the tray, but that piece is not identified in the drawings of the printer and not mentioned anywhere in the manual I downloaded (since, of course, nothing comes with a manual anymore). (There's at least one other part on the printer that is not identified anywhere, and even though I apparently don't need to do anything with it, it still drives me nuts not knowing what it is or does.)

Rated 4 out of 5 by DNHF from appreciate the speed, the print quality One complaint is that it does not handle legal length paper which is a problem for many documents. My fault as I never specified that feature when consulting your people to recommend a printer. Other than that, I have to say I am well pleased, especially relieved that now after years of never printing a single sheet using color had always to buy and replace color cartridges in the thieving inkjet printers.

Rated 5 out of 5 by chascsw from Solid printer - exceptional value. If you're looking for a solid performing, black and white printer - this is it. It's easy to set up and all of our machines recognized it on the network. We have a mixed environment with PC's and Macs - no issues at all.

Rated 5 out of 5 by FncCIO from Excellent printer. Fastest time to first page. One of the quickest printers I've ever seen. Not the fastest in pages per minute, but the quickest to spit out the first page. Lovely. Low cost per page, easy maintenance, reliable. Built from thin plastic, that's the only downside.
