Advantages: Colour, compact compared to other laser and fits on desktop, laser. Disadvantages: Still quite large compared to an ink jet.
I bought one of these babies because I hate inkjets and love laser. This was the only one I could really afford which was small enough to fit on my desktop and had colour.
Laser printers are better than inkjets because they give a crisp and professional look to word documents and spreadsheets. Even with a fine quality inject it still looks home-made unless it is on hideously expensive paper. Therefore the LBP 5000 it makes my assignments look great. ... ...pictures which sends shivers down my spine with excitement.
It is generally understood that lasers are far better value for money on a long-term basis. When you replace cartridges in an injet they can cost £15 plus for each colour. A replacement toner cartridge for the LBP5000 laser printer is around £50, however they need replacing far less frequently. I have had mine for six months and have gone through at least two reams of paper and still have ...

Advantages: Value for money Disadvantages: Not the smallest or Best looking
When buying a printer,always look beyond the first ink cartridge.And when it cames to pages per £££'s you can not do better than this.A new ink cartridge will cost you for this printer arround £48 and it will print(reliably!) an amazing 6000 pages of more than reasonable quality documents! You do the maths,compare to any other laser printer and then buy this one,because if you are on a budget you won't find anything cheaper.That is the best thing ...

Advantages: cost effective, high volume printing for small office Disadvantages: Problem when trying to print double sided (duplexing)
Unfortunately, the HP OfficeJet Pro K5400dn printer features looked good on the website and I fell for it!
I ordered 2 HP OfficeJet Pro K5400dn printers for work. After setting up the first one, and testing it, it kept chewing up the paper as the print carriage was catching it when using double sided printing (duplexing), so sent it back and got a replacement.
The second one seemed to work fine except for the odd chewing of paper when double sided, ... ...so sent this back also.
The first replacement worked fine for the most part for about 4 weeks and then starting chewing again so sent it back with the second replacement which I didn't bother taking out of the box.
This is why I would not recommend this printer at all. ...
