HP LaserJet Pro M501dn Review

The HP LaserJet Pro M501dn is a feature-rich mono laser that provides good speed, generous standard paper capacity, and above-average output quality. The HP LaserJet Pro M501dn ($549.98) is a good choice as a mono laser printer to anchor a small or micro office. It has a strong feature set, good speed, high standard paper capacity, and above-par output quality, and is built to print in volume. It adds security features like password-protected printing from a keypad on the printer itself. The M501dn lacks the optional paper capacity of the Editors' Choice Dell B3460dn ($1,205.00 at Amazon) but has better output quality, and earns an Editors' Choice award in its own right. Design and FeaturesFairly compact for a mono laser, the M501dn measures 11.4 by 16.5 by 14.8 inches (HWD) and weighs 25.6 pounds—it would be at home on a spacious desk. The front panel has a two-line monochrome LCD, a two-way controller (up and down arrows with an OK button between them), and a numeric keypad for secure printing. A port in the back of the printer fits a USB thumb drive for storing print jobs that an authorized user can access by entering a pas...

Not reliable

Have had this printer for 4 months and had 8 service calls on it already. Boards have been replaced and yet it cannot reliably work for a week without developing a new issue. HP has not been supportive when called or emailed, so we're eating the cost and getting something else.

Its ok

I've owned this printer for about a day and its already jammed 3 times. It jams very easily when legal sized paper or label paper is placed in the tray, very irritating. The manual feed grabs the paper too fast and then it jams Other than that its an ok printer.

Printer sukcs!

I have got this thing fixed for more than 5 times in last two months and still is not working fine.

Overall this printer and fax component are great. Unfortunately scanning is horrible. It doesn't matter if you have a couple pages or 50 pages it will constantly jam and take you 25 minutes to successfully scan a couple pages.

Fax

Printer, setup, quality and speed of print is great but to fax documents paperless from PC horrible!

Awful!

Beware this machine is LOUD! It sounds like propellers starting up. My office is approximately 16x20 and this machine is too loud for my space. They scanning feature is incredibly slow. It seems the machine needs time to calibrate each time you perform an action. It does not get better or faster.
