Is this the right printer for you?

Who the HP Color LaserJet Managed MFP E87740dn is actually for

Most printer pages just tell you what a printer does. Here's the honest version: when this machine is the right choice, when it's fine, and when you should look at something else. We sell a lot of these for a reason, but the reason is not "every office."

Best fit

Pick this if...

  • You run a department of 30-100 people that needs A3/SRA3 (12x18) color in-house but doesn't need Flow workflow extras.
  • You print 8,000-20,000 pages a month, mostly basic scan-to-network and copy.
  • You already run an HP fleet on Web JetAdmin or HP Command Center and want a Managed device that drops in.
  • You need enterprise-grade security (HP Wolf, Sure Start BIOS self-heal, Common Criteria) for legal, healthcare, finance, or government work.
  • You want a lower per-page cost than the Flow E87740z by skipping features you won't use.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print 20,000-40,000 pages a month — the machine handles it; consider stepping up to the E87750dn (50 ppm) or higher.
  • You want wireless but didn't budget for it — the Jetdirect 3100w accessory adds Wi-Fi/NFC for around $200.
  • You're replacing a Konica C658 or Canon iR-ADV C5560 — operators learn the 10.1" HP touchscreen in 2-3 weeks.
  • You need finishing — the inner finisher, booklet finisher, or stapler/stacker bolt on, but plan for the footprint.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You scan stacks of mixed-size originals constantly — the dn ADF runs at 90 ppm / 180 ipm, not the 300 ipm of the Flow z model. If scanning is half your job, get the E87740z.
  • You need embedded OCR, reverse-and-retry double-feed handling, or HP Workpath — those are Flow-only features.
  • You don't need SRA3 (12x18) — the cheaper E78635dn covers 11x17 at lower cost and footprint.
  • You print under 5,000 pages a month — you're paying for a production-class A3/SRA3 color MFP and using maybe 5% of it.
  • You don't have an HP managed print contract — the W9170-W9173MC managed toner cartridges are sold through contract channels, not retail.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The HP Color LaserJet Managed MFP E87740dn is the entry-speed (40-ppm) configuration of the E877dn production series — the non-Flow A3/SRA3 (12x18) color floor-standing MFP for departments of 30-100 users that need real production color and HP enterprise security at a lower price than the equivalent Flow z model. It prints and copies at 40 ppm in both black and color (21 ppm at A3), scans at 90 ppm / 180 ipm duplex via a 200-sheet single-pass ADF, and is rated for a 180,000-page monthly duty cycle with HP recommending up to 60,000 pages/month for sane toner economics. Standard paper capacity is 1,140 sheets across three trays, expandable to 6,140 with the optional 2,000 or 3,000-sheet HCI tray. The 10.1-inch color touchscreen handles standard scan-to-network, USB, and SharePoint workflows. HP Wolf Security (Sure Start BIOS, run-time intrusion detection, Memory Shield) is the reason most of our legal, healthcare, and finance customers pick this over the Konica or Canon equivalents. The dn vs Flow z difference: the z model has 300 ipm scan, embedded OCR, reverse-and-retry double-feed handling, full keyboard, and HP Workpath. The dn skips those for a noticeably lower price. The thing buyers regret: speccing the 40-ppm dn when they actually run 30,000+ pages a month — at that volume, the speed jump to 50 or 60 ppm changes the daily experience. Don't undersize this one.

Supplies & consumables

Toner, yields, and what to actually reorder

The #1 question we get on this printer is "which toner do I buy?" Short answer: you have two cartridge options and a drum. Standard yield TN830 covers roughly 1,200 pages. High yield TN830XL covers roughly 4,500 pages and is the better value for most offices. Pick XL unless you print very little.

The drum unit (DR810) is separate and usually lasts 15,000 to 30,000 pages before it needs replacing. At a typical small office volume, expect to change it once every 2 to 4 years.

If you lease this printer through us, toner and drum are included. You never pay for supplies separately. That's usually the better deal once you add up real costs over 3 years.

What customers actually say

The 5-star consensus: "it just works"

Small sample size, high signal. The 5 verified reviewers picked this model to replace older inkjets or aging HP machines. Common threads in the feedback:

  • ★ "We use this for our small office and it handles the workload without issues. Color output is sharp and the automatic duplex printing saves us paper. The managed features make it easy for IT to monitor across our network."
  • ★ "Been running this printer for two years now in a busy design studio. Consistent quality on glossy and matte stock, and I appreciate the finishing options built in. It's a workhorse that rarely jams."
  • ★ "We upgraded our office to this MFP about a year ago and it's been solid for our print and copy needs. The color output is crisp and the scanning to email feature saves us time on document management."
  • ★ "IT department pushed back on getting this but I'm glad they did. The managed print features let us track usage across departments and it actually reduced our supply costs. Network setup was painless."
  • ★ "Been using this for about two years in our print shop. Reliable machine overall but the finishing options are kind of limited compared to our old Canon. Still gets the job done though."
