HP Officejet Pro X476/576/451/551 - anyone got them in use?

[localzuk]

So, I'm looking at the HP Officejet Pro X476/576/454/551 MFP/Printers, with an eye to getting one to put into one of our offices (and if they are as good as they say, potentially be the replacement for all our colour printers around the school, standardising our entire fleet).

 

Anyone used them? They any good? They as cheap to run as they say? As fast as they say? Reliability?

We've had the X476DW in a small office for around 6 months and had absolutely no troubles. Prints really fast (after the first slow print). I'm looking to implement some of the other officejets around school too. Can't comment on the cheap to run, but I've had no complaints.

We have 3 of these now (x551 non mfd), not a single issue so far, running costs are pretty much as expected, 2 still on their starter ink (only a month old) the other one went about 3000 pages on the starter ink (nearly all letters), this one has now printer over 7000 pages with no jams.

 

One of our new ones is on 250 pages printed, zero paper jams and has between 80 - 89% ink remaining, this will include some full page posters.

Had one of these office jets die a week before warranty expired. Contacted Hp online and had a replacement the next day, old printer was picked up the following day with no charge to the school.

We've got a 576 here in the office and have been pretty happy with it. There was a problem with it a few weeks ago, but they just swapped it out for a brand new one. Was only then I realised we were still on the original cartridges for all the colours! Annoyingly I couldn't print out the page count, but it is the main printer for the business manager and the fax for the whole school.
