Excellent printer, works with Linux
By R. McDonald
I am using this printer over the network with machines running Ubuntu 12.04 and 12.10. It works very well (although I have not printed to fax). Printing is fast --- the first page typically takes just a few seconds --- and scanning over the network works on both machines.

My only complaint (the reason I have docked a star) is that it took me a while to figure out installation for 12.04. What ultimately worked was downloading and running the hplip install script from hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/downloads.html. This was necessary even though hplip was already installed. I do appreciate HP's Linux support, but it's disappointing that they are moving in the direction of using closed-source binary blobs. My Office Jet Pro 8600 at home (also an MFP) did not require a driver plug-in and scanning etc works fine.

You can see the level of linux support for all HP's printers at this page: hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/supported_devices/combined.html. Very informative. Thank you HP.

Very Happy!
By David G. Franklin
For new home based insurance agency, did a marathon online research on AOI printers (still have a 7 year old HP 7300 AIO for backup and color). Bought the m425dn 2 weeks ago.

Was initially swayed by some negative reviews (mostly from late 2012 before firmware release), but decided to buy this unit vs. lower cost HP 8600 Plus Inkjet AIO and other highly rated AIO Lasers because:
- did not need or want to mess with color ink cartridges
- duplex scanning
- very fast scanning (and printing)
- recommended up to 3,000 pages per mo. (50k monthly duty cycle)
- widely available non-oem toner cartridges at 25% HP toner cost for VERY LOW costs per page /
- high toner print page capacity (6700 pages with "x" toner)
- gigabit network speed nice
- ePrint / print to cloud / network
- color scanning
- 2nd tray for envelopes / other paper - 50 pages
- Expandable 250 page input tray option

So far VERY happy. Setup was a breeze! Lightning fast scan / print sped esp. for non-pdf files. It's good looking to boot! Named Black beauty. I did buy locally (read pay taxes) so could return / exchange if any problems).

The only cons I can think of is that it is not real quiet and the wattage use is quite high when printing, though I did not spec this against other printers with similar speeds / printing capacity.

If the above factors are important to you, go for it.
