Description says the output is color -- confusing. Is this a color or black and white laser printer? Thanks. Ron

This one is black and white. No color. Is meant for people that need a fast laser printer.

Unfortunately HP uses the same term "HP LaserJet Pro 400" to refer to a whole line of printers, some B&W; and some color. The M401dne is a Black and white printer. On some Amazon pages it's erroneously listed as a color printer, which has not corrected in over a year. You can also check this out on the HP website, which will have them listed correctly... pay special attention to the model number (M401dne). You can also tell by the price... an HP color laser printer is not going to sell for under $450 or $500.

You should go to the HP site and put in the model number for the correct specs. Mine is B & W

The one I have is black/white. LaserJet 400 M401 PCL6. I did not want to pay frequently for expensive color cartridges. A black toner cartridge seems to last forever. Also, output is very fast.

I have a HP 200 Laserjet printer 251---prints, black & white and colored photos.

if you tell your printer to print in black and white the black cartrdge is all it will use

Great question . . . on my previous inkjet printer, I could turn off the color ink and print only in black and white, but on this one I can't figure out how to turn off the color ink, and although I normally print only black and white, it still uses up the color ink somehow.

It is a color priter, but if you set your computer settings to black and white or grayscale it will print that way.

It does not print in color. It only has a black toner cartridge. It's why the manufacturer refers to it as monochrome. Mono means one or single.

So, does this come with black and color cartridges? Can you adjust the amount of ink used in printing? Do I have to have special paper for a laser printer? Thanks you.

No color, black and white only (greyscale also) this is a great printer if you are printing lots of pages w/o color, toner last a ling time as it starts to run our take the cartridge out of printer shake it and put back in printer you will get a lot more use out of the cartridge.

Nope. None. Nada.I'm saving up for a black only laserjet instead and I haven't used this thing in over a year other than for excellent scanning. Refuse to buy magenta and yellow ink just to print a 1 page word doc in black.

Otherwise it will try to mix the colors to produce black. I am not sure how long it will allow this before requiring you to replace the color cartridges though, because it still requires enough color ink to perform the print head cleaning operations.

I am not able to print in B&W; if any of the colors are out, it is probably the most frustrating aspect of this printer. I've tried specifying black and white, I've tried removing the empty color cartridge, etc. it refuses to print and just shows an error that the cyan (or whatever color it may be) is out of ink.

This is a black and white (B&W;) printer that I have it set up as a single function printer. I use it for routine and high volume B & W printing, no copying or scanning jobs. I have another HR Color all-in that I use for less routine scanning/copying/color printing. I do not have need for high volume scanning/copying/color printing on a daily/weekly basis. Hope this helps.

No color, it is a thermal printer. Doesn't use ink, uses heat to transfer the data to the paper. You need special paper for it.

Jodi, the imageCLASS MF8580Cdw will still be able to print in black and white even if one of the color cartridges is empty. In order to do this, you would need to adjust the driver settings.

It's white. The result is durable. The bad news is that once your laser printer warms up, the vinyl sticks to the inside of the printer and jams very very badly. I actually broke a plastic roller on my printer while trying to get the jammed vinyl out (mine is Samsung). It's possible that larger size printers don't get as hot and would work ok. Beware.
