Worked great for a year

We bought two of these. One had to be exchanged immediately for a fatal error. Then three weeks after the warranty expired the other died. The previous HP printers we purchased work great. This model not so much.

HP LaserJet Enterprise M506n

1. The response from HP regarding our need was excellent. The representative directed me to a similar machine and the accessories (extra) tray. He also anticipated that we would need a cartridge and had the ordered. 2. The printer arrived within 3 days and was easy to set up. 3. The quality is vastly improved over our old model which had about 500,000 print jobs on it. It was plugging away but could no longer handle our specialty paper which was a function we needed. Very pleased with the transaction and the product.

not as hoped

We expected this to replace our other workhorse high volume HP printer. It has a very narrow space for printed pages as they come out and it a lot less sturdy in terms or internal parts. Disappointed. Expect to enter any or your comments on this site and waste 10 minutes getting it to post.

Don't Buy

Firstly, its loud. Secondly, you can't set a default tray. Every time I switch from say letterhead to an envelope, I have to change the settings. Time consuming and aggravating. Spent hours on with HP support only to be told it can't be done.
