I've used a M252dw for many years now. It's a couple generations old
and I don't have much to say because I never have to think about it.
It's just always worked. Reliable, reasonably fast, and zero
worry/maintenance/problems. Would buy another HP color laser above all
else if something happened to this one. I just wish there were good
options for 11"x17" color laser printing under $1K.
I would look for something that has a wire network port in addition to
other connectivity. It's just less hassle when wifi has issues. Also
the duplexer in mine has been a nice convenience.
