Fabulous Color Laser Printer - Small and Efficient
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.

HP - Small printer for business
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.

Impressed
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.

What happened to HP's Quality?
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 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

The price is close enough to new, don't take a chance.
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.

Same ol, same ol, reliable printer!
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!?!?

Just what was required.
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.

Very pleased with this purchase.
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.

Nice for the Price
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???

I am absolutely thrilled with my new printer! I had the pleasure of purchasing it directly from HP and was impressed with the speed of their shipping. The printer arrived in perfect condition and has been working flawlessly since. In the past, I have had some negative experiences ordering HP printers through Amazon, so I would highly recommend purchasing directly from HP to ensure a smooth and satisfactory experience.

Nice print quality for the price. Haven't had it long enough to see cost of supplies/toner and how many pages you really get per unit of toner, but it seems reliable and gives a nice result. Good price point for a color laser

Wireless trouble
Prints clean, sharp text and pictures. However, you are forced to use the HP app if you want easy setup; without it, AirPrint and other advertised wireless printing features do not work well, if at all.

Very easy setup
Very easy to set up! That includes the wireless printing. We have a Mac desktop and MacBook Air laptop, and I used the software at 123.hp.com to connect them wirelessly to the printer. It worked very smoothly. The only remaining thing to do on each computer was to go the the Printers option in System Preferences, have the computer find the new printer (I think I used the little + sign to start that process) and then set the new printer as the default printer (if that's what you want). This last part of having the computer recognize the new printer is alluded to in the HP instructions, but of course there aren't specific directions because they would depend on the type of computer operating system (iOS, Windows, etc.). The color print quality is also wonderful to my eyes, but I am switching from a black and white computer so I don't have another comparison for a color printer.

Solid Printer, weird printing frequency
It is a good printer and prints at a good speed. It is not a quite as was suggested. And the actual sound it makes comes in at a really annoying frequency to me. But, that only happens when it is printing, first turned on, etc. The colors are sharp and very well done. Overall, I would recommend it.

Printer great; documentation horrible
I am actually very happy with the printer; it is the documentation that has dropped the rating. I read the documentation that came with the printer along with all the on-line documentation. I then watched the videos which were for Windows 7. Really?? I am a former IT professional, and I can guarantee that most people would be lost trying to set this printer up. My installation was simple; a USB connection to one printer and then wireless connections to a couple more. I tried to follow the directions which didn't really address a USB connection and kept pushing you towards an HP app that didn't help.
I then just went old school and allowed the computer to discover the printer, ignoring all the HP documentation, and the installation went fine. The HP documentation on a wireless connection were horrible and simply didn't work. So I ignored them and just allowed the other computers to discover the printer on the wireless network. That worked fine.
Bottom line was that if all I knew was to follow the documentation provided, I never would have gotten the printer working on any of the computers. In reality, the installation was verry simple, but the instructions were horrible and seemed more concerned about getting the user to sign up for automatic toner replacement.
As for the printer, I have been very happy with it. It is quiet and the print quality is fine for what I need.
In summary, I would give the printer a 5-star rating but the documentation zero stars.

I knew toner would be very expensive but it appears risky to use non-OEM based on HP’s admonitions on warranty.

Very nice printer for the price!
I really like having a nice laser jet printer. This one is easy to set up and easy to use. It can even print on thicker cardstock.
4 stars because I can not change the quality of the print. It only allows for one setting. The setting is clean, but I was hoping to make it extra crisp.
Colors are a bit off compared to my designs on the computer, but not too crazy.
I also found that when printing from design programs it boxes colors weird. Please rasterize a copy before printing to keep that away!
