For years I have been using an ink jet printer, but lately the nozzles had been clogging, so I decided to move up to a laser jet printer. I originally wanted the M479fdw with the USB and wi-fi network capability. This model was out of stock and had an estimate of several weeks to replenish. I found the M479fdn was in stock, and seems the only difference is the fdn has Ethernet. All I wanted was the USB to connect directly to my computer, so I didn't care which model I had. The fdn works great for me and was a good choice.
There was some confusion setting the printer up. It set up to the M478f-9f driver, but seemed to work OK. I called support and they said my M479 was in the M478 family and was OK. Now why couldn't I have set up to my M479, or at least seen a note that they are both in the same family? My included software was supposed to be able to change the name of my printer but wouldn't. The HP tech changed the name for me and took out the confusion factor.
The printer prints beautifully, both text and photographs. The HP goes to sleep soon after printing, and quickly wakes up when called upon to print. The sleep mode can be set to start in 1, 5,15, 30, or 60 minutes. The Automatic Document Feeder is especially fast when scanning multiple documents to either save or email as PDF or JPEG, or save as Editable Text (OCR). If the documents are double sided, both sides are scanned at the same time, speeding the process.
I've had the printer 7 weeks, and the built-in Estimated Cartridge Level indicators have barely moved. The Status tells me I have printed 216 black pages, with 1,900 pages remaining. And I have printed 137 color pages, with 950 pages remaining (estimated).
I am using a Cyber Power 1350 watt UPS to protect my computer system. When using the printer to print, the UPS goes into an alarm mode with the extra power load, so I had to move the printer from the Battery protected side of the outputs to the Surge protected side.

Print quality is fine, but three cyan cartridges reported "Supply Problem" in the first four months
I've had three cyan cartridges fail with the error "Supply Problem. The indicated supplies are not communicating correctly with the printer" and the printer will not print at all when this error occurs. I had difficulty reaching "Next Business Day Support" when I first ran into the problem and ended up purchasing a new cartridge as printer reported it as empty. The purchased cartridge failed about a week later with the same error. I finally reached support and they sent out a third cartridge, although I expressed concern this might be a printer issue rather than a cartridge issue. The third cartridge failed after about 6 weeks so I am again stuck with a printer that does not print. I am hoping support will either replace the printer or send out a support person to further diagnose the issue.The printer included next-business day support and HP did send a technician out after the 3rd cartridge failed. The technician replaced a board, which did not solve the problem. After that HP support sent me a new printer and the issue is apparently with the printer and not a cartridge issue. I am bumping the overall rating from 1 star to 3, based on the service/support I received from HP for this printer. I'd strongly recommend getting a support contract if you purchase this printer.
