HP Laserjet CM1415FNW

Bought it a while back .... just opened it up yesterday when I finally needed it. Put new print cartridges in and tried to close the door but the hinge was broken on one side. Finally got it closed. EXTREMELY unhappy but it is too late to return it. Prints OK but not as well as the one I originally bought that I was replacing with this one. This was not a new unit, but refurbished ... I guess they didn't actually do it or "missed something".

I normally don't write reviews, but in this case I will make an exception. This printer is expensive, but I knew that going in. It comes in a BIG box, about 3 feet cubed. Unboxing is easy and removing the protective film was a snap. It takes up a pretty good piece of cabinet space. I have NO patience for tech things that are a pain to install and deploy. I have even LESS patience for expensive tech things that are a pain to install and deploy. The good news is that this HP printer was easy to set up and begin using. I have a home wireless network and we use 2 laptops. I downloaded and installed the latest driver from HP onto each laptop and was instantly able to use the printer. The only thing I was unsure about was the PCL version to download, not a big deal. Well done HP! You can wirelessly print from your iPhone too. From unboxing to printing was 30 minutes at a casual coffee-drinking pace. Color replication is not good enough for photographs, but plenty good for work presentations. Print speed is plenty fast. The copy function works intuitively without even referring to the manual. It would be nice if the icon to show you which way to place your original (face up or down) was more readable, but that is very nit-picky, I made a small label. I have not tried the FAX, but that technology is very mature, my confidence is high that it will work as well as other functions. I would buy another one. It replaced a small Samsung wireless printer that would hiccup and not print from one or both of our laptops.

Purchased this Laserjet CM1415fnw multifunction printer 3 weeks ago. Worked fine out of the box for 1 week, and then the WiFi went dead. The radio module was stuck in OFF mode. Finding HP support is nearly impossible ...HP telephone lines gateway you thru various stations in India, v-m boxes and call hang-ups. After over a dozen attempted calls, e-m, chat line, etc to HP Support Desk, I finally got an HP tech to confirm the radio module was defective and "authorize a replacement exchange". But he said somebody would call back a few days later...more downtime for me the customer! So, a few days later, they call me back to make arrangments and the deal would be to get a "refurbished" model. I refused this offer inasmuch as I paid for a new model and will not accept anything of less quality. The HP rep (in India) then said the model is coming from HP factory direct and is better tested than what Amazon.com ships ...wow, sounds like Amazon may have a beef with that allegation. At this point, I am now planning to return the printer to Amazon for full refund. Will never buy an HP product again....clearly, HP has a defective business model for quality & service.

This new MFP from HP looked promising, but falls short due to their terrible software and driver bundle and lack of proper network scanning. Replaced a Brother inkjet MFP that was half the price. The print quality on this laser is quite good, though the toner cartridges are puny and expensive, it may end up costing about the same to run as the brother inkjet. Biggest issue is you have to install hundreds of megabytes of software just to use the printer. With the brother, it was a 16 megabyte driver that included network TWAIN scanning, and the rest was optional. Typically business marketed network MFP's in this price range have network scanning (dell/brother/kyocera, where one can simply walk up to the device and send your scan by email, FTP, or server file share. This is not possible with this model. The only way to scan is to run the HP toolbox on your PC and then walk over to where the printer is, then load your document and walk back. Anyone trying to use this with more than a few employees is going to go nuts. You can scan to a USB key, which is nice, but you can't even pick your PC from the screen. I don't see the point of the 3" color touchscreen when you can't really use it for anything but setting number of copies and other basic settings you never really change. It won't go on a wireless and wired network at the same time, which is typical, though I would have liked to make it available on the public wifi for guests to use. The first print is pretty quick, only about 10 seconds, though the pages per minute are a bit slow, printing long 100+ page documents will take a while. I'd recommend this unit for home use only where it'll likely be used occasionally and by a few people. It'll be great for that since the ink can't dry out like inkjets, and the software is easy to use once you get it loaded. Businesses should look elsewhere.

I have had several problems with this printer. 1. The paper alignment seems poor. The printed area seems shifted downward, so the the bottom of text that is close to the edge of the page is cut off while there is extra space at the top. 2. The printer does not handle envelopes of odd sizes. I cannot find a way to use a 6.5" by 4.75" envelope without the printer either jamming for failing to print, so matter how I configure my software or align the envelope (vertically or horizontally). 3. The software barely supports Mac OS 10.7 (Lion). There is NO software to use the scanner, though it can be accessed with some difficulty through the bare-bones printer driver. I have been pleased by HP products in the past, and I had hoped that the follies in their corporate suites had not affected production. But I am afraid this sad case of corporate suicide has gone from alienating investors and driving away customers. But don't trust me on that comment on HP as a company. Do trust me when I say that this printer simply don't work very well.

Printer is awsome. fast,easy to set up. great for E-print and networking printing. great print qulity. would recomend for anyone

I'm using the HP LaserJet CM1415FNW primarily with my new iMac but also use it with my Dell laptop PC. The set up is not as easy as it should be but I did get it working with both computers wirelessly but only with the printer connected by cable to my wireless router. I followed all of the instructions on wireless setup with my Mac and could not connect. Same problem with the PC. As for performance it is good. A little slow but okay for my purposes. I also think it is a bit loud but I don't have it working all day long so that does not bother me. Print quality is very good. It serves my purposes well and gave it only four stars because I think the setup should be better explained and for the noise. I would recommend.

It makes a lot of noise but it won't print. It will not connect to wifi. It came with no instructions, no manual. All we could do was unbox it and plug it in. Work with what with had. We tried getting help online. NOTHING! I can't even return it because I need a barcode printed. HELLO, no printer! So I have a major problem on my hands! If I could I give this whole transaction a (0) I would! As for the seller, he should be in jail!
