Purchasing Bought a HP 5700dn with storage stand for home use but got some questions
I bought a 5700dn that was on sale for 1049 which for what you are getting seems like a nice deal, added a printer stand that has wheels and a nice paper/etc.. bought premium 32 paper to print with for reports, documents, occasional photos. So far really impressed with this printer its damn fast and the quality real nice, surprisingly photos come out nice.
This printer Says made in Japan but then I read concerns regarding reliability since HP bought Samsung but those are made in China.
I seem a bit confused with that, is it some models are. made in Japan(Canon?) and others made in China(Samsung) I also notice a warning on the website that This printer is not for residential use?
I did not have to install any intrusive drivers etc my Mac found it and just installed an "AirPrint" driver. Its really is nice using an "Enterprise" printer so for my home use etc.. I would imagine it should last quite a while. And this price is it because its being discontinued because it seems like a lot of printer for the money.
It just prints when I need to print so far no hassles and it's damn quick so far I like it. Anything I should concern myself with reliability. I do have it on a large UPS to protect it from brownouts etc..
