HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M479fdw vs Brother MFC-L2750DW

If you shop around, you can find midrange and high-volume printers with slightly lower running costs. HP's own PageWide Pro 750dw, yet another inkjet-based laser alternative, delivers monochrome pages for as little as 1.1 cents. When shopping for a higher-volume printer, keep in mind that for every 100,000 pages you print, a 1-cent difference will cost you $1,000

For $9/toner, and $28 for a Linkyo Drum, I'm money ahead from Brother supplies. And if I wreak the printer, I'm already money ahead. If non-OEMs can produce supplies at this price point, and clearly they wouldn't they weren't profitable, then why can't Brother/OEMs? The printer cost was ~$200, and they charge $100 for a drum and $76/toner cart, $176 for toner/drum is nutty. As Tom Hanks said in "Big" - "I don't get it

Hey how's, it going guys Phil here, and this is a review for the HP color laserjet pro multifunction printer model, number M, 479, f DW in the box. Yo...

No more flipping pages. I don't keep paper anymore as all bills are scanned to pdf. The footprint is about the same of my old HP Deskjets but it is quite a bit taller. Make sure you have the space for it

But the loud cooling fan and high-voltage electrical buzzing on the M479 are a deal-breaker for me. Between the two, I just like the M281fdw more, it prints better colors, is a quieter and smaller unit, and feels better made.

I must reinstall drivers if I seek to change the type of connectivity. Adjusting the print or scan quality is buried in the menu and for a while I couldn’t find it. It’s noisy and clunky sounding. Don’t buy this printer

HP customer support was great and got us in touch with Amazon support to get a replacement processing. Unfortunately, the product is out of stock so we're just out of luck for a few weeks. I guess this is ultimately a cautionary tale on warehouse ordering online instead of a brick-and-mortar office store chain that may have been more capable and willing to expedite a replacement. Our business will just have to cross our fingers whenever we click print for a few weeks I guess

Don't try reaching out to Brother, no phone numbers only referral to who know where. Basic assistance could have solved the problems. No Brothers for me in my future

A wireless laser printer released in 2019 should not have this kind of fall out. Hope firmware update will fix it later. BTW, HP designed this printer with the security in mind, but it should have shipped the printer with a legitimate CA instead of trying to have user hack around the https security setting. 2

I've been playing with my firewall settings, but nothing has worked yet. I will talk to Brother's tech support and see what I might be doing wrong. Since this might be an issue on my end, I'm not willing to fault the machine itself just yet.
