So I did some research and this HP Color LaserJet Pro looked nice and compact, it had some good reviews, and the price was right. I checked it out on some YouTube videos for setup and replacing toner cartridges and everything was so simple to do. I only use Macs and the Color LaserJet Pro was supposedly compatible with macOS. So, I took the printer out of the box, ran the initial setup, checked the toner cartridges, put in some paper, ran the print demo, connected to my 2.4 GHz WiFi Network, and printed a one-page PDF file from my 2015 MacBook Pro in another room. I didn't need to install any HP drivers or anything else. The printer was instantly recognized on my network and was ready to go after a minute or so of initialization. Now the LaserJet Pro connects and prints instantly whenever I turn it on.
I have to say this printer puts out some beautiful print and it will likely be the last printer I will ever need. I was blown away by the color-print demo. I don't know why I waited so long to buy a decent laser printer. I don't think this printer is expensive at all and as long as the toner cartridges stay working, I don't mind paying the price of genuine HP toner cartridges. It will probably take me years to use up the toner in those cartridges and I even bought a spare black toner cartridge just in case. I am honestly pleased with this Color LaserJet Pro and I highly recommend it for basic print jobs. Printing from my Mac running Mojave OS was a breeze. I don't think printing gets any easier than this. I'm going to play around with it a bit, such as printing from my smartphone or my other Macs. I basically use my MacBook Pro laptop daily to do everything, so that's all I need to print from. I really didn't need a color laser printer, but now I have one if I ever need to print something in color. For me, it's totally worth it if I'm going to use it for years. The printer came in handy right away, as I need to return a corrupted PNY SSD to Amazon, so I printed the return shipment code to give to the UPS store. I had to give this printer a 5-star rating. I don't see any cons for the short-term. If it keeps on working as it is, then it's perfect.
I bought this Color LaserJet Pro as a replacement printer for some older crappy, multi-function HP Color-Jet printer I had been using over the past few years. I rarely print anything, so on occasion (every few months), whenever I needed to print or copy something important, the ink-jet cartridge was either partially clogged or dried out. That's even after I removed the ink-jet cartridges, used the nozzle cover, and placed them in plastic ZipLoc bags. It drove me bonkers and so I decided to trash that freaking ink-jet printer. No more ink-jets for me. I wasn't trying to save money. It's just that I rarely printed documents and didn't realize there was a problem with those crappy ink-jet cartridges always getting clogged no matter how carefully I treated them. My advice is... Stay away from ink-jet printers for document printing unless you're going to use them every day.
