## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it have a manual feeder tray?**
A: Yes, this printer does have a multipurpose tray that you can use.  The tray is located above the regular paper tray where the HP logo is.  Here are some instructions on how to load the paper into that tray: https://support.hp.com/ie-en/product/hp-laserjet-pro-m404-m405-series/19203833/model/19202542/document/c06396236

**Q: Am i able to assign an ip address to this printer on the home network and turn the printer on and off without the printer loosing that ip address?**
A: Yes, you'll be assigning a static IP address.

**Q: Will this cut you off when it thinks the toner is low, or can you keep printing until your pages are too faded to be of any use?**
A: I can't speak for this printer directly because I haven't had it long enough yet to run out of toner.  However, I can say that with several prior HP LaserJet printers that I've owned - they don't stop printing with low toner.  The print starts fading some or streaking on the printout where the toner is low.   In those cases, I pull the cartridge out and shake it and put it back in - then can print a few more pages.  Hope this helps.

**Q: Will this work with macos high sierra where it will print an adobe pdf document with both letter and legal pages on the correct size paper?**
A: Yes, this printer is compatible with Mac OS High Sierra. You can print documents, including PDF, up to legal size.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ GREAT printer!
*by B***T on June 2, 2025*

This is the BEST little black and white laser printer, and at a very reasonable price! It handlles letterhead, labels, graphics and nomal office documents--all with great print quality. It's easy to use. The wireless hookup was a snap. I couldn't be more satisfied.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great printer but sucks toner dry pretty quickly
*by J***R on March 3, 2025*

Great easy to use printer. The only thing is that the toner cartridges are expensive and go out FAST! Great printer though!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sharp, fast, two-sided printing with business-class & security features. Pricey replacement toners
*by Y***X on July 29, 2019*

I have worked in the IT industry for over 17 years (and even longer as the "family computer guy") and have come across a multitude of printers: Canon, Lexmark, Epson, Brother, Konica, HP, Ricoh, and all have their Pros and Cons. One thing is common, however: HP is the most widely used in the business world and for good reasons!So, how does this monochrome (black and white-only printing) HP LJ Pro M404dw fare? Pretty well!IN A NUTSHELLThe latest addition to the LaserJet Pro line of printers produces sharp, fast, two-sided printing with business-class features and security. The cost of replacement toners is high but has the capacity to output a large number of pages. It is a well-made, compact, professional-looking printer that I have no hesitations to recommend for the home or small office.PROS- Crisp, sharp print quality for text and graphics- Fast print speed (up to 40 ppm)- Compact, sturdy, and professional looking- Printing options: WiFi, WiFi Direct (device directly connected to printer), Ethernet wired network, USB cable printing, or email--- M404dn model lacks the WiFi/WiFi Direct options--- An email address is provided through the HP Smart app to which you can forward emails to for printing- Can print directly from mobile devices (both Android and Apple iOS) either through the HP Smart app or from other apps that support mobile printing- Easy WiFi configuration by downloading the HP Smart app (Apple iOS/Android/Windows 10)--- HP Smart app effortlessly detected the printer, guiding you through configuration, usage, and provides statistical data--- Windows 10 app through the Microsoft App Store works very well- Email notification of events, such as out-of-paper or hack attempts- Duplex printing (prints on both sides) for supported sizes (letter, legal, executive, etc)- Advanced network and security configuration available (through the HP Smart app and a web browser interface)--- See "Security" section below for more details- Tray 1 opens on the front for checks/envelopes/manual feeding- Tray 2 holds paper for 250-sheet feeding, and a Tray 3 can be purchased- Works with HP 550-sheet feeder tray D9P29A- Came with USB cable- AirPrint: Apple Mac compatible- Google Cloud Print compatible--- To set up, the printer will waste 2 sheets: one with instructions and another to confirm setup was completed- Extended replacement toner available for VERY high capacity printing--- Included starter toner can print about 2,000 pages- Quiet mode (prints more quietly at the expense of speed), though I did not find the normal mode to be noisy- Configurable, automatic power on/off/sleep modes--- Defaults: Sleep Mode of 1 minute, Shutdown of 4 hours- Fairly light weight at 19 lbs- Additional, advanced, business-class features include--- SNMP, WINS, SLP, LPD, LLMNR, Syslog, NTP time sync--- Usage and Job reports--- Backup/Restore of settings and Firmware updatesCONS- Replacement toners are EXPENSIVE (HP 58A 3,000-pg capacity and HP 58X 10,000-pg capacity)- Did not include a network/Ethernet cableTIPS- The software to download for Windows and Mac OS is "HP Easy Start" which you can grab from HP's website- The software to use on mobile devices (Apple iOS/Android) is "HP Smart"- You can access the full, complete printer configuration by finding the IP address on the printer (or through the HP apps) and typing it into your web browser- The HP Smart app includes a free trial to Mobile Fax--- Allows you to fax print jobs from the app--- Requires you to have a valid fax number (per regulation), but does not need a phone landline--- I did not check what the service's cost is after the 1 month trialSECURITYIn today's environment, information security has become more important than ever. I thoroughly appreciate HP's inclusion of features and settings to help protect one's network. Here are some of them.- Removal of Web Services--- Although the printer conveniently allows you to print from the web or via email, any route a hacker can enter from presents a vulnerability.--- The HP Smart app allows you to turn off those web services to minimize the attack footprint--- The default admin password should be changed for additional security- Network Connectivity Options--- The printer allows you to turn on/off any unused printing options, including: wired ethernet, Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, Bluetooth, AirPrint, Google Cloud Print, and the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP, IPPS)------ The IPP/ IPPS methods allow you to assign user access for printing from mobile devices- Certificates--- This topic is a BIG one on its own, and to many, a very confusing one------ In short, Certificates are like passports issued by an authority both parties trust. They help secure communication between the printer and the sender--- The HP M404dw uses a self-signed, pre-installed certificate and supports CA-signed ones that are PEM/Base64 encoded- Email Alerts--- You can be notified when a specific threshold is met (default: 1 minute)------ Cartridge missing, empty, or low------ Door open, media mismatch, paper jam, out of paper------ Job storage memory problems, such as USB device disconnected and out of memory- Firewall Rules--- Built-in firewall, complete with configuration of rule priority, address and service templates, service list--- Failsafe option where HTTPS remains accessible even if it is blocked by a firewall policy (so an admin doesn't accidentally get locked out)- Secure Communication--- Cipher suites, SSL/TLS protocols, and HTTPS redirection can be enabled/disabled- SNMP options include v1/v2 and v3- ACL: An IPv4-only access control list is available to control access to the printer- 802.1x Authentication: PEAP, EAP-TLS protocols are supported- Cartridge Protection to lock a toner to a specific printer to prevent theft--- Using a protected cartridge on another printer will not work--- The lock cannot be undone on that cartridge. It is permanentOverall, as with most HP printers, this is a quality, business-class product with the speed and sharpness the LaserJet Pro series is known for. The security features are a welcome sight! I do prefer the HP M404dw (WiFi) model (which costs $50 - $100 more) over the HP M404dn (USB/wired network) for its versatility of not having to be wired to the network, but the HP M404dn (USB/wired network) model is still a good purchase, especially at the current $219 price.If you found this review helpful, please click the "Helpful" button below to encourage me to write more.
