The HP LaserJet Pro M404dn has been a staple in offices across East Africa and beyond for good reason. It delivers fast, reliable monochrome printing at a cost that makes sense for small and medium businesses.
The M404dn prints at up to 40 pages per minute — fast enough for even the busiest office. It supports automatic duplex printing, which cuts paper usage in half. The monthly duty cycle is rated at 80,000 pages, meaning it can handle heavy workloads without complaint.
Text output is sharp and professional at 1200 dpi resolution. Documents come out crisp and readable even at small font sizes. For a monochrome laser printer in this price range, the quality is excellent.
The M404dn connects via USB and Ethernet. It does not have Wi-Fi built in, which is a limitation for wireless office setups. However the wired connection is stable and fast.
The printer uses HP 58A and 58X toner cartridges. The standard 58A yields around 3,000 pages while the high-yield 58X yields 10,000 pages. Compatible toner cartridges are widely available and significantly cheaper than OEM cartridges.
The HP LaserJet Pro M404dn is a solid workhorse for any office that needs reliable monochrome printing. Fast, durable, and cost-effective to run with compatible toners.
