I purchased this a year ago and have been highly disappointed from the beginning. Now our agency has turned off SMBv1 on our servers and Xerox will not help me. I looked at alternative HP printers and realized that everything in this price range will have the same problem.

For Documents an excellent printer. Very Fast.

Among its attributes are speed, great graphics quality, and low running costs. A higher price tag keeps it from wresting the Editors' Choice from the comparably equipped Epson WorkForce Pro WF-6590 ( at Amazon) , also a laser-class inkjet. The 577dw($899.89 at Amazon) still warrants strong consideration as a color MFP for up to heavy-duty use in a small or midsize business, especially if output quality is paramount.
