Comments about HP / Hewlett Packard LaserJet Pro M1212NF Multifunction Printer (MFP) (Monochrome):
I use the printer daily mainly in printing on both sides of the paper. The printer does everything as advertized. I have had problems with multipage faxes picking up second page.

Comments about HP / Hewlett Packard LaserJet Pro M1212NF Multifunction Printer (MFP) (Monochrome):
This printer works great. Prints very fast compared to our last inkjet printer. I like the network functionality that allows me to print from our other 2 PCs.
The only thing I didn't like so much is when it scans it takes a long time for photos if if I set the resolution to high.
We don't have a phone line so we won't be using the fax. Will probably figure out how to fax from the PC if needed.
Overall, it's a good quality printer that allows me to scan/copy documents.

Comments about HP / Hewlett Packard LaserJet Pro M1212NF Multifunction Printer (MFP) (Monochrome):
I got this Printer for un [$] on sale and it is worth every penny. I got it to replace a Canon MX330 wich is also a great color printer but is Inkjet. [...] Shiped for 1300-1600 Pages.Need Drivers? Just log into the IP of the AIO Printer and download them from there.Interestingly the Printer had an update in 2011 and in that update it included the new drivers, So I am wondering if you ever even need to get new computer drivers just keep an eye on the Printer firmware and get drivers from there.I have yet to use the ADF so this may be completly Wrong, I will play around with it tonight but the tray is flat I am curious how it keeps all the paper strait when scanning/Photocoping multiple pages.The Sharpness of the prints could be a better but this printer is in now way made to print images or anything that would require any need for that. This is a laser printer for Text wich is exactly what I use it for.

Comments about HP / Hewlett Packard LaserJet Pro M1212NF Multifunction Printer (MFP) (Monochrome):
I connected using the included cat 5 wired network connection, then installed the software on all my computers. This printer is awesome, it starts printing immediately even though it's asleep. Spec's say 8 seconds for the first page, but I'm getting it sooner. I also bought a compatible toner cart and it has worked perfectly making the toner very reasonable. It copies, prints, and faxes well. And the ADF (auto document feeder) works very well. I was a little afraid the adf would not feed well because of it's flat design, but it's great too.

Comments about HP / Hewlett Packard LaserJet Pro M1212NF Multifunction Printer (MFP) (Monochrome):
We needed a small MFP to run basic print jobs and scanning. This unit definitely is compact, easy to use, and provides solid value. Set up is very easy although I ran into a little issue attaching it to our network to allow printer for all users. That was solved very quickly. I am disappointed that my users can't scan over the network but that's not a problem with the printer itself -- or it's a problem with most MFPs, generally.
Works well out of the box, printing is quick and good quality. It's also small enough to fit on a file cabinet. I would definitely recommend this product.
