Question 1

will this printer print double sides?

Accepted Answer

Hi, there!
Assuming that you are asking if this printer has automatic double side printing function, the answer is no.
If you want to choose one with that specific function, you may wan to choose M401dn instead of M401n.
In the suffix, 'n' means network capable, and 'd' means double sided printing capable, on most of HP printer models.
Thank you!

Question 2

Does this printer come with toner (like 80A cartridge)?

Accepted Answer

IIRC, it came with a "starter" cartridge - not a full capacity cart, but since I had purchased a special MICR toner cart for check printing (the reason I had purchased the device) it didn't matter to me.

Question 3

Can it scan?

Accepted Answer

No, it's just a printer, not a multi-function device.  Prints well, though.

Question 4

Does this come with a toner cartridge if so is it 100% filled or not?

Accepted Answer

It does come with one but its a starter cartridge. You'll be lucky to get 2000 pages out of it.

Question 5

is this a wireless printer?

Accepted Answer

No this is not a wireless printer

Question 6

what type of usb cable?

Accepted Answer

We use these in a business office and connect them directly to the network from a CAT5 cable.  But I have used a standard 6 ft USB cable to connect them to individual computers.  But it has been my experience that connecting them to the network allows for the easiest installation and any computer on the network can print to it so you can place it anywhere in the office that has a network port.  Or in a home you can plug it into the back of your router.

Question 7

Is this a wireless printer?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the printer is wireless. We use this printer in our office; it is centrally located whereas several computers print from it.

Question 8

Do you have to replace the drum?

Accepted Answer

Stella, we haven't had to replace the drum yet, but have since ordered 2 more printers and have had to return them as they are defective; as soon as you connect an Ethernet cable, the printer stops working. We will not purchase these again; we have begun purchasing the p3015n series.

Question 9

Does the printer come with a toner cartridge? Is there tax?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it did come with a 'starter' cartridge of lesser yield, but I don't recall the estimated page count.

As for tax, I believe you'll find things every day which tax all of us in little ways.  The email which prompted me to answer this question, for example.  I don't see why this printer should be any different.

Question 10

Is it USB port compatible and with Windows 7?

Accepted Answer

Yes, mine is installed via USB and running on Windows 7
