Summary: Good Printer at a Great Price
Review: This printer is perfect for the home office. It prints clearly and at a very fast rate. I only wait about 30 seconds for the first page to print and barely 5 seconds for subsequent pages to print. The text is also dark that it doesn't look like the printer is skimping on toner. It's definitely The noise level of the printing is not any louder than the HP4000 series printers I use at work. My only complaint about this printer is that the manual paper feeder does jam a lot. It's near impossible to feed envelops through the manual feeder. With regular paper it works about 66% of the time. I just don't bother with the manual feeder.

Summary: Under-whelmed & Disappointed
Review: Two problems:
1.) Poor print quality, especially on B&W photos/graphics. The 5040 would not print a full range of tones. No black, just a weak dark gray. Plus roller marks. Un-showable results for sales kits.
2. Print controls were installed in Swedish rather than English. My tech friends and I spent hours on correcting this language issue, then we gave up. I boxed the printer and returned it.

Summary: Watch out for the squeal
Review: When I bought this printer I was initially very pleased. It gave good sharp print quality and the print speed was very quick. However, after the printer was idle for 5 minutes it entered a low power sleep mode, and then the problem began. The printer started to emit a very high-pitched whistle. It was not exactly loud, but the pitch made it extremely irritating and it soon started to give me a headache. I returned the machine for a replacement and I am glad to report that the new machine does not have this fault. However I have noticed from other reveiws of this printer that several other users have experienced the same problem, so this may be a quality control issue.
