    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 CZcams (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.

      You have to make living somehow of course .. these kids don't understand , taxes don't pay themselves.

      +JayzTwoCents I have worked as a printer tech, and still do a bit of it but not that much anymore. HP printers are pretty good, but they are a bit plastic-y I think. They are getting cheap as well, giving me less work because folks dont want to pay to get them repaired anymore. :/
      Nice review though! Gonna use something similar if and when I get my business going. Sometimes you just need physical paper. ;)

      +JayzTwoCents "IT guy" here. As you are an ex-IT person, you should have learned two things from your time in "paradise"
      1) most people suck (not everyone, but you will always have someone who is a "keyboard warrior" and rants for no reason)
      2) printers suck
      You need to do what you need to do to support your family, but more importantly love what you are doing. Keep up the great work, I think this is one of the few channels I have left on CZcams technology wise since you have solid content that interests myself, and stay true to your roots (you know, the crappy jokes and all lol).

    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...

    @ThatOneDudeNick Před 8 lety +4

    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.

    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.

  • @julianruggiero9701
    @julianruggiero9701 Před 8 lety +1

    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!

    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....

    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.

  • @JarrodFernandes
    @JarrodFernandes Před 7 lety +2

    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?

    • @Major774
      @Major774 Před 7 lety +1

      fnw is manual duplex
      fdw and fdn are auto duplex, d = duplex

  • @bearlydave
    @bearlydave Před 8 lety

    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.

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!!

  • @miker6570
    @miker6570 Před 8 lety +1

    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.

    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.

    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).

    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! :)

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

    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.

    Can you still print in black and white even though one of your color toners are out? I really hate when that happens

      hp printers will still print even if one of the colors are empty but can not print if the toner is phyicly removed.. because it uses it to soports the paper path... you will get a message that the toner is empty and you might have to press a message to contune
