Wonderful Multifunction Printer for Mac Users at Home,

Great multifunction machine! Let me break up this review in the positives and negatives:
Positives:
1) Excellent compatibility with OS X. I'm currently using 10.6.5 and right out of the box the OS recognizes the printer. But I installed the driver from the CD anyway because it comes with the scanning software.
2) The scanning software is awesome! No-frills... it just works! You can scan into tiff, jpg, pdf, etc., and customize the settings in a very brainless way. I imagine that the scanning software will be great for anyone who isn't entirely computer-savvy. You can queue up pages to scan via software, as opposed to pressing buttons on the machine itself, in hopes that your computer understands what you're trying to do. This may seem like a silly "positive"; I put it here because other machines (like some Canon's) require you to do exactly that, consequently suffering from network communication inconsistencies/incompatibilities.

Fast Printer but the ADF is not durable at all,
September 26, 2011 Joplin (Greenville, SC) - See all my reviews

I'm a printer technician and support over 1000 company offices, most of which use an HP multifunction printer for copies, faxing, etc. We purchased approx. 120 of these printers over a 6 month period. The failure rate of these printers is 30% and rising. If you buy this printer and make even a few copies through the automatic document feeder sooner or later you will get the dreaded "Document Feeder Mispick > Press OK to continue" message. It is caused by a defective part inside the printer which HP has supposedly fixed on the newest ones off the production line. The catch is that if you buy one of these printers and the ADF fails then you are stuck getting a refurbished printer and guess what - odds are it will have the same problem within a month or two. I have documented cases where one of these printers or the refurbished replacement has lasted only 2-3 months. You would think the printer is being overused and that is simply not the case. Usage in the example that was replaced...Read more

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

Went on the search for an all-in-one laser printer, scanner, fax, copier. Considered HP, Samsung & Brother. I bumped into the Samsung (SCX-4826FN) at the office of a facility I was working at a couple weeks ago - they were not crazy about the reliability other than printing (auto-document feeder jams, paper jams every once and a while, software issues with scanning). Then I bumped into the Brother I was looking at (MFC-7840W) at a hotel business center - it was not printing properly. I thought that was a bad sign. So I bought the HP M1536dnf - and LOVE it. After 5 days of heavy printing, a bit of scanning, a sent fax and several copies made I can tell this thing is a work horse. The construction is solid, the software worked first time across a local area network (installed it on Mac OS 10.5.8 without a USB cable attached). Duplex printing works really well, scanning software is SIMPLE and easy to use. I'd highly recommend this unit! I'll repost if I find any negative...Read more
