The HP LaserJet Pro 400 color M451nw is a wireless color laser printer for small offices that want networked color without a multifunction footprint. It prints up to 21 ppm in black and color on letter paper (20 ppm A4) at 600 x 600 dpi with HP ImageREt 3600.

A 600 MHz processor with 128 MB of memory drives it, two paper trays are standard, and Wi-Fi, Ethernet and USB connect it to the whole office. HP recommends 750 to 2,000 pages a month with a 40,000-page duty cycle.

It uses the HP 305A cartridges in black, cyan, magenta and yellow, plus the high-yield HP 305X black, all sold as genuine HP originals at GS Toner.

Standard vs high-yield

HP 305A is the standard cartridge (2,200 pages); HP 305X is the high-yield version (4,000 pages). If you print more than a few hundred pages a month, the high-yield cartridge usually has the lower cost per page.

The HP LaserJet Pro M451nw is a color printer: it needs a black cartridge plus cyan, magenta and yellow. Each color runs out at its own pace, so you can replace them one at a time or buy a set.

Why use genuine HP toner

Original HP cartridges are built and tested for the HP LaserJet Pro M451nw: the chip reports toner levels correctly, print quality and page yield match HP's ratings, and your printer warranty is not affected. Every cartridge we sell is factory-sealed original HP — never refilled, never compatible.
