HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M477 Review 

Its a little ironic how some folks get mad when we don't state that something is sponsored, then the other group of folks get mad when you do sponsored videos. Bottomline, anything I can do that allows me to still make a living while doing these videos, and doesn't mean I have to rely 100% on RU-vid (and their constant attempts to screw us over) Im all for it. This video was sponsored, yes. And yes I worked in IT for a LONG time dealing with printer problems on a corporate level...and it sucked! So taking a look at a Printer that promises to be much better experience is interesting to me. If it isnt interesting to you....why did you even click on it? I hope it wasnt just to complain.... because you know where that leads.

I don't know why I saud Hubbub in the beginning... guess I'm just getting old

I've been using an older model of this (M277) at work for the past 6 months and am happy with it. I print about 50 pages a day and it's been reliable. The thing that stood out to me after upgrading was how fine and sharp it prints text and tables. I don't pay for toner, so I can't comment on value. Assuming this is an improved version of mine, it should hold up well.

FINALLY A PRINTER REVIEW THAT DOESN"T SUCK....a review is a review... if you don't like it, skip it or go somewhere else no need to rant about it... I'm sure your hands and mind works. Nice work Jay... Keep it up... and by the way, If you like Tech... it doesn't matter if its a printer or a video card...

I've setup about ten of these printers at work, mostly for administration... They are a superb device.

... I randomly was looking for a video for work to show a user how to find a serial number... I find a JayzTwoCents video on the printer as a review.... I am dead set amazed. Thanks for brightening my day as I normally watch you vids for Modding stuff....

Did he say cayenne as in like cayenne pepper instead of Cyan?

Got a few of these for one of the schools I support. My old printer in my office was horrible - had to reboot before and between every job. Having a great experience with the M477.

yes yes, but can you do a printer watercooling guide? make sure to use 4 reservoirs so they all get a different shade over time like your normal builds.

I watched this vid just to see how far hp has come with this tech and I am impressed with what I seen hope they keep up the good work

Thank you for this video. We have had this printer for several years and I just now had to replace the black ink. I learned several things about our printer from your video. I printed out a checklist and notebook paper from the set up>quick forms menu.

So happy this video is here. I was literally just looking at this printer and was on the fence about buying it yesterday. This video just helped me decide.

I almost ordered the M277DW last week, but now I might consider the M477!

Thanks Jay. Our office owns one of these and I was able to teach my coworkers a few cool things about it after watching your review.

Have been looking for the right printer for work and you just chose for me... Thanks and, like always an awesome review

I have a Gun Club that I opened last year, and have gone through 2 'home printers' and decided to buy this exact same printer. WOW...so impressive......printer is amazing in colors, fast, easy to use and the features are amazing. YOu can also hook up your google drive to the printer via remote and scroll thru your docs on the screen without the need for your laptop, phone, etc and print whatever you have on your google drive RIGHT TO THE PRINTER! I just can't say enough about this printer. I think anyone that buys this will be super happy!!

Thanks for the review. Does this printer do double sided coping and printing? I noticed you said it can do double sided coping, but I've read other reviews yhat said it does Not do double sided coping/printing. Also, have you had to replace the toner yet? thanks.

Not sure I'd ever use this information or care about that type of printer but I love that you are branching out a little!

I've been looking for reviews of lasers printers cause I want to bring one to college so thank you for doing this video I'm convinced I want this one.

Thanks for the review, I have been wanting a new all-in-one printer, but have gotten tired of ink jets. Looks like a winner to me. Keep up the good work Jay.

I'm not an IT employee but this printer is definitely drawing some of my attention. I'm currently kicking off my own business and this seems like a very practical solution for startups. Seems like it does everything I'm gonna need it to do and more.

wow im amazed on how quiet it was when it was printing, been shopping for a laser printer, just wished i could afford this beauty

thanks @JaysTwoCents for a Detailed view on the wireless printer this has really helped me make my decision on the right printer for me. p.s. also love your tech videos

Haha, funny thing is I received delivery of one of these a week ago, and now you're reviewing it. :) Awesome printer; love it.

Thank you for taking the time to share this information with us!

I am researching color multi-function laser printers for my daughter's new business. She is managing a fitness center and will be printing her brochures with her logo and client contracts. She will probably include some photos on her information sheets as well. This printer looks like it might be a good fit. Her office is small and there will be others who will use the printer as well. Thank you for a thorough walk-through.

I have the older version of this printer and it is wonderful. I get the refurbished cartridges and they work great.

I really learned a lot with you explanation about how to used HP Color LaserJet Printer. Thanks!!!

Always a great job Jay! I like to be informed as my wife runs a small business from home and we use a laser printer :)

great in depth review. thank you

I actually really appreciate this video, Jay. Printers are still very important to any business and indeed to anyone's home network. I'll be in the market for a new one pretty soon so it's good to see the quality that is out there for such a reasonable price. I think I'll definitely be going with a LaserJet next as opposed to an inkjet. So thanks for the video, and ignore all the buttheads in the comments complaining. Keep up the good work!

I've got the HP LaserJet Pro MFP M476 and it is a workhorse. Print quality is superb and even with next to no toner it doesn't refuse to print - unlike my last Epson inkjet!!!

Keep doing HP Printer/MFP Laserjet reviews, Nice job!!

Thanks Mr. Jayz for that informative info

I think that hp has done a great job with creating such a innovative and revolutionary ink jet printer which could work with colors.

thank you for the tutorial. I have a small side business and some times it would be great to have an all-in-one printer.

We are using Minolta multifunctions are work and they are great (mostly due to the support that Konica Minolta gives us). I've got a similar HP laserjet at home and have largely had no problems with it. Occasionally, I have had issues with the printer drivers being wonky (and it may have been wonky due to the new rollout of windows 10 at the time) but otherwise has been very stable. I have the printer connected through wireless with no issue and while considering buying my wife a chromebook set up eprinting with no issues.

I'm an IT Director at Dart Container Corp and my location just got 4 of them and cant wait to get them out and start testing them. we have bunch of mixed and match printers here ranging from canon to hp to the big office sized biz-hubs and it'll be nice to have a all in one for a bunch of offices.

I have an MFP476 and it's been brilliant. Printing from Android is cool. Scan to NFS/SMB shares on my Synology NAS is used by my daughter for her school work all the time. The HP Drivers work on Linux, Windows and Mac, which is very good as we use all 3 :) Nice video !!!

Last time I supported printers in an office it was Kyocera, and the toner was $$$$. I have a Brother HL-2270DW (black & white only) at home for school work, and it works great for that. If I need to print something in color, I have an ancient HP 940c Deskjet to use for that.

does it come with toner? with the price of those cartridges thats important when judging price. Looks impressive though!

When does the overclocking guide come out?

I've been looking at the M477fnw, M477fdw and the M477fdn. What Jay was saying at 12:37 about the double sided copies (being detected) would mean you would need the M477fdn or fdw as that has the duplex scanning and printing. Is that correct? You wouldn't be able to do the duplex scanning on the fnw?

I really like that dimmed lighting!

If you do not print for an extended amount of time (say 6 months) do the ink cartridges dry up or clog? Like my old HP did. Thanks.

I know your review was posted in April 2016 but I wanted to say that I bought one of these printers a year ago for my office (I run a small IT business) and I like the printer so much that I did a review of the printer on my channel in September 2017 and then a year later in 2018 I bought another of the same model printer for our house. We don't print a ton and scan more than anything but I've had zero problems on the printer I bought a year ago and it's very easy to set up and web interface makes it easy to hook up to network storage so you can easily and quickly with a couple pressed of buttons on the LCD screen scan pages directly to a mapped drive. and hopefully the same will be true for the one I bought for inside my house. For owners of this printer make sure you update to the latest firmware as it fixes a few bugs which I never experienced but still good to have the latest firmware! Cheers! :)

I know HP and we have them at work. the industrial printer that we use are Konica Minolta. At home I have said that no printer will ever come into my house again. with all the scanning you can do on a phone today I do think for the common user a printer is not necessarily anymore. I actually setup a printer for my friend who just started a small business him self and it was also a HP. They have come a long way. I think this one is a little big but it does look like it does great quality. great video as always

I was wondering when this was coming out, Awesome!

Cool. Thanx a lot. It helped my buying the Printer tomorrow.

Trying to help a friend set up her printer. She's having an issue getting it to print from her computer. I'm tiinking she might not have printed the terms and conditions, which you showed that needs to be done. Thank you so much.

hey, good video, thanks for the honesty. we primarily print from our note book computers on the network. i'll probably buy this shortly. we have the option of setting this up wireless or via ethernet, as the router will sit right next to the printer, my question is will the print speed, particularly the 1st page - be faster if we set this up via ethernet as opposed to wireless? tia.

Thanks for the great review! I bought one myself!

Thanks for helping TJ find his new car!

Hi my printing colours are very dense, please can you tell us how to reduce that density?

hi, your video helped me make up my mind and not get a mono multifunction but the m477, it has all the features I enjoy such as auto duplex , great video very informative , thank you .

What is the office chair you use? Thanks for the video. I will get one

I wonder if your can compare this printer with the Brother MFC9340CDW All-In-One. How would you compare them both.

Hi Jay, how to print double-sided and not using manual flip over? Is this one that can only do manual flip over?

Simple and fast. Good review. Subscribed!

just bought mine and very fantastic

Great review on this printer. I actually understood everything you said and did. I have this printer.

Hey I know you had a lot of people complain about this video but I'm considering buying this printer and I just wanted to say that it helped me out a lot and I'm closer to making a decision. Thanks!

im a IT apprentice at a school atm, i liked the review. we uses HP 4250dtn. and alot of random differents HP printers. i dont even remember the name of those, its so many o.o

Does this printer do steganography on you? Does it print the small yellow tracking dots? seeingyellow

Thank you, Sponsored or not. I enjoyed your video and can't wait to pick up my printer tomorrow and get started.

I'm a consumer looking for a business quality printer for home office. Thank you for your video. It was informative.

My work used to have the little brother of this the m476 and the printer prints awesome however seems to have reliability problems. There is a binding issue and the only way to fix it is to pull it apart and release the gears. Regreasing it seemed to help. I am running it at home now and printed about 20 pages and so far so good. Thing only has 8000 pages printed from it.

Nice quick review. How about running costs and how much is each toner cartridge, please.

Hey Jay, thank you so much for this awesome review of the HP M477. I have been researching multi function printers for a few weeks and I narrowed my list down to 3 models from 3 different manufacturers. However, after watching your video review I made my mind up about getting the HP M477fdw. Keep up the great work (a fellow IT professional).

So what is the power draw in operation, on ready (meaning that when a print job comes in everything is already warmed up) and in standby (needs to warm up)

The one thing you neglected to mention jay is how much does the toner costs after the first cartridges runs out. It is a common practice for printer manufacturers to sell printers at a loss. And recoup those costs in the jacking up the prices of the printer/toner cartridges.

Good printer jay ! I deal alot with documentation sheets from work and being to able to print over the network using my tablet ,laptop or phone is really nice,I After working all day pulling network cables last thing I want to do is dropping off job papers at the office .Would be nice of you did a video on the degration of the prints and paperjams over time .

Outstanding review. You mention that their was 3 different models. Would of like to know the differences between the the 3. I love all the features it has and the color touch screen. But a great job Jay.

Awesome review mate. I am going to save up for this.

This was good, I like the coverage on these types of items. It's often overlooked and when your looking to buy there isn't much info out there.

I bought the baby bro (m277) and love it! a lot easier than my last all in one mono

Hello Jays. I bought the HP Laserjet Pro m477 printer, all right, but I have a question: is normal a noise in the back, something like one trac trac trac when you print ?. In your video I do not hear noise when you're printing, why? regards

how much fps did this give you in gta 5

Gonna do glass tubing in this one?

Gotta love the feel of newly printed paper.

Thanks Jay. Appreciate the tutorial. I've had my MFP M477fdn for a number of years now. Best thing I ever did to kick the ink jones. Thing is amazing absolutely amazing! Trouble is I want to use it to print the other day and I was prompted to enter what country I lived in. After that network set up. So I've gotta look for that problem. I know the cartridges were getting low. So I don't know if it's a quick fix. Just needed to print out three insurance forms, isn't that the way😏

jay you are awesome. never before someone make me interest on a printer review! hahaha. Greetings from argentina!

I work in IT, and I hate having to troubleshoot/fix printers. However, something like this seems really legit. I wouldn't mind having a printer that versatile and simple.

And I have an ancient HP LaserJet 3200. It works great, but it only prints in black and white. We event sent a couple of faxes through Vonage, and it worked absolutely fine.

Can you use both connections ? lets say have a Ethernet cable attached to the printer as well WIFI at the same time or you have to use one or the other ? i know sounds "stupid" its just a gral question.

Jay how do you enlarge/reduce on this printer model?

thank you JAY VERY VERY GOOD VIDEO HELP ME OUT A LOT

The big advantage of laser over ink is the fact that the toner doesn't dry up and clog the print head the way the ink does. I have recommended to everyone to buy laser since 2003 and I have been using them exclusively for myself since then also. I wish I had seen this review a few days earlier.

My biggest concern is about the cost of toner. Any word on that for this line of printers?

Does the top scanning bay allow for double side scan to print double sided?

Very helpful presentation. Thank you!

Hi. I have a model similar to this one. Can you please do a tutorial on double sided printing? I'm trying to do a bifold borderless booklet but I can't seem to find the right settings. I did the booklet in photoshop.

Welcome to HP printers. I use them for over many years now. My new HP printer that I bot is a HP LaserJet Enterprise 700 Color MPF M775z+

First tek syndicate now Jay, soon enough we're gonna start showing off our printers with our 4K UI display, water cooled components and 4 dimensional printing.

I need a new printer, guess I've fund the perfect one now :-) thank you Jay

Nice video jay, it amazes me people are really that against you making money. If you don't want to watch the video, don't watch it. The whole "youtubers shouldn't make money" ideology baffles me.

Jay I'm sure someone said already, but the port on the back isn't Firewire, it's USB. Looks like they've come a long ways since they made my HP 3700N (4-color). Nice to have the wifi and integrated duplex scanning. Good video. :)

How long can it be turned on in sleep mode before I must turn it on manually to print? For example, LaserJet Pro M177fw works only 8 hours and then you must turn it on physically to be able to print again.

Because my printer of the same model as the one in the video, at the time of printing it throws an occasional droplet of inks, there are times that it is black, other times those of color but it always does, the cartridges are new and it follows it doing, before using it I purge to clean the heads but keep doing the same, can you help me with this problem? thank you good afternoon....

wanted to go with Epson simply because of the paper feed (had HP with paper feeding in a slight angle no matter what adjustment I did) but I might think again... thank you ! :)
