Fantastic printer; it replaces my HP 4000, which I had gotten used and which then gave me about 15 years of good use. This is clearly made for the office, with a large duty cycle. The speed is phenomenal, even with color images, it does duplex automatically, it does up to 1200 dpi. You can even email a document to it, and it will print it and have it ready for you! And if you've ever had an HP printer, it's a breeze to set up (it's even a breeze if you've never had an HP). It is huge and heavy, though -- which is both a pro and a con in my book. Sturdy build, not easy to carry, so get it where you want it and leave it there.
The only other con I can think of (and you all know what I'm going to say, I'm sure) is the enormous cost of replacement ink cartridges. What's good is that the cartridges are all separate, so you can buy just the one you need when you need it, but at about $250 each, the four cartridges cost you a thousand bucks, if you were to have to replace them all at one time. The yield of the high capacity cartridges is quite good though -- I believe they are rated at about 9,000 sheets each, and the printer comes with "starter cartridges" which are not full capacity, but I suspect I won't need to change them until well into 2017. There are other HPs that are a little lower in price, but it was a no-brainer to pay the extra money to get this one. If my other HPs are any example, this baby should last me a good 15 years.

Beware USB and/or WIndows XP users...
If you plan on connecting this printer to your PC via USB, there is something you need to know that will save you a major headache (and possibly a broken back)...The USB port on this printer is internally disabled by default. Before you connect your printer to your PC, you have to go into the printer's Administration settings and enable to the USB port to work. This is NOT printed anywhere in the installation instructions! If it were, then I would not have sweated my butt off hauling a perfectly good 60-pound printer down the stairs, into the car, and over to UPS to return to Amazon because I was certain the USB port on the printer was defective. I can't imagine how many perfectly good printers are being returned to stores because of this.I am a Windows XP SP3 user. HP claims this printer is compatible with Win XP, but from my experience, it's only partially compatible. The drivers that come on the installation disk on the HP website install fine, but they don't work quite right -- jpegs print in color, but text, clip art graphics, and some other graphics formats only print in gray. Adjusting the appropriate settings in the Printer Properties and Printing Preferences doesn't help. I've spent eight hours a day for the past two days uninstalling and reinstalling the printer and drivers, including unsigned universal post script drivers from HP's website. Nothing solves the problem.The print quality is fine, though.Since I bought the printer at a decent price, I've decided to keep it and use it as a monochrome printer until I build my Windows 10 system.EDIT JULY 2020: I built my new Windows 10 system. The M553dn installed without a hitch and is working wonderfully.
