This is an amazing product. Simple instructions.
I used the literature and CD that came with the product and the printer was up and running in a matter of minutes. The iphone and ipad print to it wirelessly and the office computers print though the network connection.

Color quality of photos prints too dark!
When printing anything with photos ALL pictures are too dark, to the point I need to utilize my old printer and cannot print brochures or presentation materials.

Printer destroyed itsefl
The printer destroyed the plastic belt that feeds paper over the toner rollers after only two years. The part costs nearly $450 to replace, nearly the price of a new printer. Total loss. Print quality issues also with black streaks appearing across each page periodically.

Pricey toner undermines this otherwise excellent single-function LaserJet, which is competitively fast and prints well (surprisingly so, with photos).
Pros:
- Fast print speed
- Excellent print quality
- especially with small fonts
- Multiple expansion options
- Stylish and well-built
Cons:
- A bit pricey
- Full set of four high-yield cartridges is more than $1,000
- Wi-Fi module costs extra
- Many mobile options unavailable without Wi-Fi upgrade
- Cost per page too high

HP Color LaserJet Enterprise M553x Review
The HP Color LaserJet Enterprise M553x is fast, with features galore, a high paper capacity, and very good output quality. But some businesses might not want to pay the high price for more features than they need. As the flagship model in Hewlett-Packard's 500 series of workgroup color laser printers, the HP Color LaserJet Enterprise M553x ($1,199) is a formidable machine. Among its virtues are very good speed, voluminous standard paper capacity, Wi-Fi Direct and NFC connectivity, and above-average output quality. This goodness comes at a high price, though. If you don't need all the M553x's features, you may be better off getting a more economical variant that eschews what for many businesses may be overkill. Design and Features The M553x measures 22.9 by 18 by 18.9 inches (HWD), so you'll want to put it on a table of its own, and it weighs 73 pounds, so you'll need two people to move it. One of its two large paper trays is packaged separately, and you have to set the tray down first and then delicately align the printer on top of it until the printer snaps into place. The standard paper capacity for the M553x is an immense 1,200 sheets, split between two 550-sheet trays and a 100-shee...
Pros:
- Fast
- Above-average output quality across the board
- Excellent graphics
- 1,200-sheet standard paper capacity
- Wireless Direct and NFC connectivity
- PCL and PostScript drivers
Cons:
- Pricey
- Lacks 802.11 Wi-Fi and Bluetooth

"Enterprise," of course, means busy, or relatively high-volume-a whole lot of printing going on. When I wrote this, the M553dn was on sale for $200 off, or $599.99. In either case, a single-function printer would need to be special in one way or another to justify either price, but of course it's a...
