We had some trouble getting the printer set up initially and it was unclear whether this was a software issue, os issue, or other issue. Once we got through that though, it seems to do a good job. One major complaint though is that if you do a multi-page scanned document it is a huge file. I wish it would scan to PDF.

In general this is a nice little all-in-one machine... fast operation, compact, etc. However, the toner runs out very quickly. The "low ink" indicator comes on after about 500 sheets (1 ream) of printing with the machine set for "econo" printing and medium low contrast/darkness. So each toner lasts about a week and a half to two weeks for us. Each toner costs about $70 (with tax). So our printing cost is expected to be about $140 per month or $1680 per year.

    Comments about HP® LaserJet Pro M1212nf Multifunction Printer:

    I needed an inexpensive printer that provided high quality copies. This is the best value multifunctional printer that has laser. I have a large color laserjet for big printing projects, but this is sufficient for an everyday printer at a small business or home office. BTW: I own a new media company that focuses on Internet business so I know tech.

    Comments about HP® LaserJet Pro M1212nf Multifunction Printer:

    The set up was kind of simple. This machine somehow used up a toner (85A) in less than one week. We used to have the Laserjet 3055 (lasted 1 years), and a single toner (12A) lasted for about 3-4 weeks. It is kind to noisy when we fax and print documents. The steps it take to fax through the speed-dial is kind of tedious. It takes about 7 buttons to access the speed-dial and fax something, comparing to only 2-3 buttons on the Laserjet 3055.

    Cons

    Comments about HP® LaserJet Pro M1212nf Multifunction Printer:

    I have only had it for a day so I can't say a lot.
    The initial setup instructions are of little value. I couldn't find anything that told me to remove some platic frames inside. I was afraid they were necessary (They didn't look like shipping retainers). I finally gave up in frustration and removed them. That was the problem and it then worked fine. Now I have to wait until the ink mess works it's way out.
    The overall look and feel gives the appearance of being cheaply made but that can be misleading.
    It did setup easily without using a Disk. At least I don't have to worry about finding the setup disk in a few years when I have to re-install it.

      1 answer

      • A:

        This printer will work with Windows 8, though it may need drivers updated. These are available on HP website. It does not have wireless printing, so you would need to hook your phone up to it with cables.

        A:

        No, the Multifunction Printer will not scan to word documents. The printer scan file formats are: JPEG, TIF (compressed and uncompressed), PDF, GIF and BMP.

        Answered on 3/2/2012 by Cara B from Staples
      • A:

        With the HP® LaserJet Pro M1212nf Multifunction Printer you can use OCR software as a scanning alternative when you cannot scan with HP drivers. The OCR software imports scanned text into your preferred word-processing program such as a Word file for editing. You can use the Readiris software that ships with some LaserJet products or other third-party OCR software.

      Does the HP LaserJet Pro M1212nf have an alert when the ink is low or empty. I have a HP LaserJet 3050 now that does not alert when the ink is low or empty and it is very frustrating when making copies thinking you have ink and you don't.

        A:

        When a print cartridge reaches the end of its estimated useful life, the product turns on the toner light on the control panel. You do not need to replace the supply at this time unless print quality is no longer acceptable. For pricing and availability please contact Customer Service. They will be glad to help with your question. You may contact them at http://www.staples.com/sbd/content/help/contact/index.html or by phone at 800-333-3330. Thank you for your inquiry.
