It is very fast and I sit right next to it in my office and it doesn't bother me, but my office is not a court room.

The printer is very fast, but not quiet. When the printer begins to print, there is a fairly loud buzz indicating printing has begun. That said, I am very happy with this printer's performance and would highly recommend it.

I'm a trial lawyer and I'm in court often. Even if you're using video to record the proceedings it should be quite enough to use unless you're using the front feed. It's quite noisy when it grabs the paper. It prints pages quickly.

Yes and it prints quickly. Not so fast as a laser printer might, but much, much faster than a standard inkjet.

No it is a front feed printer and it was not very good. I replaced it about 2 years ago with another hp printer. Frankly, I have not had success with hp printers.

It could be, but I wouldn't recommend it. It's not fast enough nor powerful enough and forget about printing anything other than letter size documents. It would be an ok printer for home use. I had it here at work for a short while to replace my HP LaserJet, but it just didn't cut it for me. It looks and feels really cheap and flimsy.

I have never timed the unit, but it is fairly quick. Obviously printing color print documents is faster than a large detailed bmp or jpeg file. I do lots of genealogy work which i print old pictures. Prints these pictures with no problems on two sided sheets. Hope this helps.

I have used it only minimally for copying, but it performed just fine. I was also able to make 2-sided copies which turned out to be quite handy. Mostly, I have been printing.

Should be fine for a desk area in terms of size, but does produce a wind that jets off in one direction (esp if turned on high) and can be a bit noisy for a quiet environment. You can always turn it facing away from any papers so they don't blow away. It's quite compact though and does a good job!

C. Willems - It's not whisper quiet, I don't think any are. But unless you are a light sleeper or the printer is in the same room as you sleep, I don't think you would hear it. As printers go, it's not bad at all as far as noise goes. Mine is in the alcove with big doorway to the living room where our tv is located & I do not have to turn up the tv to hear it when printing. Hope this helps you...

I agree with dclaudew. Do you really need it? I no longer have the printer, I had bought 2 of them and had been very happy with them until I replaced the belt unit and the drum along with the waste unit on the second printer which had been bought as a replacement of the first one. From that day I replaced the units, it never worked right; so finally I gave it away for free to a tech guy and bought a Samsung. It is a lighter machine but I have pretty much closed my home business so for my personal and volunteering needs it will do.

No, but it is a fantastic printer. Great photos, clear text, and uses very little ink. Also, quite quiet.

Rita, I have one of these shredders. I won't tell you it is quiet, but I think it sounds like a shredder. It does a super job of shredding documents. I have no problem with it.

I agree with Dale W. This is a great color printer for business (pictures look really good), but I would not use it as a photo printer.

Nope, just a little worker-bee of a printer. Wonderful color. Had one for our office about 6 years ago...still working. Bought a second one for adjoining office. Use it for color photography proofs. Just a real little (and quiet) dependable printer.

First of all, I have a hearing problem - so please take that into consideration. I do not find this machine loud. Will someone coming into your office hear it? Yes. But will they have to talk louder to overcome it, absolutely not. To me, the sound it makes is similar to the someone using a paper shredder, but not nearly as loud. It won't disturb the people in the office next to you, if this is your concern. This machine will relax your feet and I find a 15 minute session gives great foot relief.

Yes, this would be a good printer for a small law office. It is a laser printer, so it will not blur or streak (which is the whole reason I bought it). Hope this helps!

I'm not sure exactly but it is significantly slower than the regular page speed, the envelopes also print noticeably less vibrant compared to a laser envelope printer. I would put it in the 25 to 30 pieces per min range when it is in high quality mode. I found the lower quality modes unsuitable for most prints in general

I haven't set up the printer yet. But I have not seen anything that suggests I need a specific type of printer. I will update if I find out something different.
