Works seamlessly with wireless with my M1 MacBook Air, errrr, that is after I thought to simply reboot after having issues connecting at first:) It is a joy to use. After years of manually printing both sides by printing even-only-reversed and then flipping to print odd only, I am relieved of that challenge with the duplex printing feature.

My HP Color LaserJet Pro M255dw is FABULOUS!!! Although at initially, I was not so sure since the front paper tray seemed a bit flimsy ... until it was full of paper, and then it slid back in like it was on ball bearings! The set-up was effortless, once i saw where to do it online ... it happened without a hitch ... EASY! As far as the color printing is concerned there was no set-up here, like I had to do with my earlier 12-year-old HP color laser printer ... this one was set up right from the start! And it already comes with ALL of the ink cartridges already inside the printer. Nothing to do but to plug it in, plug in the USB cable (or set up the Wi-Fi), go to HP online to set it up ... and print! EASY!!! And the images are fabulous, including the color photos which I also printed with it! If there is any downside, the ONLY thing that I found was that the whine of the printer, while it is printing, is a bit loud, but nothing to complain about from my perspective.

Replaced a 10 year old HP Laser Jet, So Far, So Good.

Was looking for a basic laser printer that could handle a lot of printing when needed. Color is a plus. A laser-jet would not do, and was not high quality. This prints great, and quick, and you can print from phone too. The set up was unbelievable. Literally one step, go to the website, and it found all the mac, wifi, computer, router addresses, downloaded and installed the software, (no guessing), and linked it all up, ready to print. No "add printer", no downloading software, no running install and hope if finds your printer. Excellent choice. Also, printer is NOT loud like other comments say.

Fast little printer. Impressed with the quality and easy setup. The little screen makes connecting to the network and getting started a breeze. Printer supports Apple print so I can print documents straight from my phone. It's also very quiet compared to my last laser jet that I've used for 15 years. Love the fact everything works as it should.

Nice home printer, color was not as sharp as I was expecting - it still 5 starts as it's good and the price is right.

Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES should you consider HP products! I've had NOTHING PUT PROBLEMS with this printer for the entire time I've owned it. It suddenly loses connections to the network and yet ALL of my other devices have NO PROBLEMS and it is IMPOSSIBLE to get the printer to work - even that my NEW HP computer recognizes it on the network AN the printer claims that it's connected too. Absolute GARBAGE! I've already called HP on at least FIVE different occasions. The printer works for a while and then stops.

After about 10 days the ink is fading on the right and green doesn't print right on the left. The green is on the left side of the sheet has a blue tint to it.

This printer has become a gigantic $350 paper weight because of a false paper jam error that cannot be cleared. It's unbelievable that HP cannot make a printer that can be "fixed"after a paper jam. That aside from it going offline even if connected via USB...

After 3 years I am told I need to get a new printer because HP does not allow the means to clear a false paper jam error. They don't tell you you need to turn the printer off to clear a paper jam, and then you can't clear the error after that. No reset button, no press and hold trick... Planned obsolescence at it's finest. No care for the consumer. No intention of being environmentally friendly at the slightest.

This printer prints pages very slowly, but the outcome is clean, sharp, and professional. It also is very noisy. The paper inputs are okay, but for lack of a better word, optimal

Blurry color printing. Black is OK. I think the toner cartridges got misaligned. Shouldn't ship with them in the tray. Tried recalibrating. Will try a new black cartridge.

OK, so I went down the wrong path. I bought 3rd-party toner for 7 years on my old HP Printer, an HP M252 LJ. Yes, the quality of the lower-price toners caused my print-outs to look... less than beautiful. And I ran that printer for 7 years without a hitch beyond that quality issue. I'm retired now, and I considered tearing this old printer down, cleaning it thoroughly, buying my $400+ set of legitimate toners, and resuming with a clear conscience. Then my daughter was interested in the old thing, and not picky about quality, so I gave it to her, and ordered the M255. Win - win! I like the M255, and I have REAL toner in it, and will bite the bullet and continue using same. My observations: 1. The printer is noisier than the old one 2. The time-to-start is considerably faster 3. The unit is almost exactly the same sive as the old one 4. The unit is heavier than the old one, but I don't have to carry it anywhere! 5. The manual did not take my hand and talk me thru the process of sharing the printer. The first time, I made it a wireless device on my computer, but other computers in the house did not see it. I got a techy friend to help, and he talked me thru configuring on the printer itself to make it sharable on my wireless. I am very pleased with it now, and if a guest needs to print from their phone, Kindle, laptop, whatever, They can get to it if I offer the password. It's a real kick, not now tech, but I like it. So, I should not need another, as long as I buy those high-priced toners from Father HP. Maybe they have a discount program if I PROMISE to NEVER use a third-party toner EVER!?!?

My HP inkjet died after a good long run of 8 years. Wanted a crisper print of text hence the switch to laser printer. This LaserJet Pro provides that, color and a printing speed I can live with in my home office.

I haven't had it long, but so far, it's worked like a dream. The wireless connection to my IMac was easy to set up and I'm happy with the color and saturation of the images. A million times better than the last color laser printer (by another manufacturer) that I owned (although it was a lot cheaper, it was basically a complete waste of money.) Very pleased with this purchase.

So far so good! The only thing that I can't quite understand, is the Print Options are different depending on what program you are in. Specifically a check-box for either choosing or not choosing duplex printing. When in MS Word, that option is not available and automatically prints duplex, so need to print 1 page at a time. How can I toggle on/off???

High quality color laser printer for the money
By akachler
I had not purchased a new printer in over 10 years. I had a really old one that was doing the job for the handful of prints I needed per year. I decided it was time to get a new one because I got tired of dealing with issues with the old one. I was not prepared for the quality of the prints at a lower price. I know a decade is a lifetime in the tech industry, but this excellent printer got me by surprise. Very happy I bought it. I hope it lasts many years without giving me problems.
Great results, quick
By mikerwc
Bought for home use. The printer does its job perfectly, is connected wirelessly and seamlessly prints from Mac, Windows, Android, and iOS devices. Super minor issue -- I can hear coil whining when the printer is in stand-by mode with screen off, though, I'm quite sensitive to that.
