Neither Hp LaserJet Pro M402n nor HP LaserJet Pro M404n were recommended by experts this month

On 10 Dec 2024 (16 days ago) we went through 60 Laser Printer expert endorsements , however neither Hp LaserJet Pro M402n nor HP LaserJet Pro M404n were included in any of those recommendations. Since neither Laser Printer received a single endorsement, as far as expert recommendations go, it's technically a tie. We do, however, recommend taking a look at Canon imageClass MF743Cdw or other critically acclaimed Laser Printers of this month.

For reference, Canon imageClass MF743Cdw received 3 endorsements this month, from Tom's Guide (22 Nov 2024), TechRadar (31 Oct 2024) and Laptop Mag (31 Jan 2024).

The HP LaserJet Pro M402n is a specialized black and white text printing machine that produces near perfect text and is the fastest model in its test, churning out 25 pages per minute. It forgoes WiFi connectivity for a simplified USB connection, making it a reliable and hassle-free option for those who mainly print text-heavy documents.
+ pros
  • Specializes in black and white text printing, producing near perfect text and being the fastest model in the test.
  • Simplified USB connection instead of WiFi printing, which can be more of a hassle than it's worth.
  • Low estimated lifetime cost, making it a great value for those who mainly print text-heavy documents.
- cons
  • Lacks double-sided printing, but the M402dn is essentially the same printer with that feature.
  • Simple design and lack of wireless printing may make it less convenient for some users.
  • Poor graphics and photo printing quality, as the printer is specialized for text printing.

Scan, Fax, Photocopy

The four main functions of printers are: printing, scanning, photocopying, and faxing. Either your device will be print only, print/scan/copy, or an all-in-one printer that does printing, scanning, copying, and faxing. Note that scanning and copying almost always come together, since the hardware for these features overlaps significantly. Generally speaking, all-in-one printers are larger, so those with space constraints may find this to be an inconvenience. Additionally, printers with a fax feature are typically more expensive. It would be wise to only consider this feature if you plan to fax often. If not, you’ll be satisfied with a print/scan/copy device.

Scanning Does this printer include a scanner?

LCD

Printers with an LCD screen/display give you the option to control some settings directly on the printer, such as a one-touch print, scan, copy, or fax. You may also be able to adjust print quality, preview the print job, and/or view connection settings. Some screens are programmed to offer setup instructions for easy installation. For those who are not particularly tech savvy, this could be helpful.

LCD screens can be color or black and white, touchscreen or not, and vary in size across brands and models. The larger the touch screen, usually the easier it is to use the controls.
