Editorial verdict
Grounded in published specifications
Summary verdict: The step that matters is the cartridge, not the speed: HP 148X holds about 9,500 pages, so at roughly $199 a cartridge this prints for about 2.1 cents a page. The 148A standard cartridge holds about 2,900 pages for around $110, which works out near 3.8 cents -- buying standard cartridges out of habit costs more than the price difference within a year. It is a Dynamic Security model, so third-party and refilled cartridges are blocked by firmware. That is a permanent constraint on running cost, not a temporary one.
Who should buy this
Workgroups printing a few thousand pages a month where cost per page dominates.
Who should avoid this
Anyone planning to use compatible cartridges, which this firmware refuses.

Posting after real use, not unboxing
Had this most of a year now, so this is not an unboxing opinion. 50-sheet reversing document feeder for two-sided scanning. Still mildly irritated by one thing: Dynamic Security firmware rejects third-party cartridges. Known trade-off rather than a fault, though, and I would buy it again.

Fine, once I adjusted my expectations
Leading with the problem, because it is what I would have wanted to read: Dynamic Security firmware rejects third-party cartridges. Fax hardware is fitted whether or not a line exists. Neither is hidden — both are listed on the page — but they matter more in daily use than they look on a spec sheet. I have kept it, for one reason: About 2.1 cents a page on the 148X high-yield cartridge. That still outweighs the rest, but only just.

Right product for the right person
The page describes who this is for, and it described me: Workgroups printing a few thousand pages a month where cost per page dominates. On that basis it has been the right call. About 2.1 cents a page on the 148X high-yield cartridge.

My mistake, but read the avoid note
Genuinely my own fault. Posting so somebody else does not repeat it. The listing says who should avoid this: Anyone planning to use compatible cartridges, which this firmware refuses. That was my situation and I ordered anyway. It does what it says on the page — it just was not the thing I needed.
