The HP LaserJet Enterprise M507dn, as the name suggests, is an enterprise-grade monochrome printer that's intended for small businesses. It's well-built, it has a large input tray, and like most laser printers, it churns out pages at an exceptional speed. Its cartridge can yield an astounding number of pages, which leads to fewer cartridge replacements over time. Unfortunately, it's somewhat of a one-trick pony as it can only print in black and its photo printing quality is just terrible. Additionally, it doesn't have a scanner, it has poor connectivity options, and its mobile app is difficult to use, to say the least. That said, if you only need a monochrome printer that can handle big print jobs, this printer is an excellent choice.
Our Verdict
The HP LaserJet Enterprise M507dn is a terrible printer for family use. It can only print in black and it doesn't print photos very well. It may be a good option if you only need to print black and white documents, but the lack of any wireless connectivity makes it difficult to recommend for a household with multiple people sharing the printer. Furthermore, it doesn't have a scanner, and the mobile app is difficult to use, as it's intended for small businesses with complex network setups.

Although the HP LaserJet Enterprise M507dn and the Brother HL-L3270CDW are both laser printers, they're made for different purposes. The Brother is a lot more versatile, as it has a scanner and it can print in color. The Brother also has better connectivity options and mobile app support, but the HP is a better printer for printing black and white documents as it prints faster and its toner cartridge can yield a lot more pages.
If you only need to print black and white documents and nothing else, then the HP LaserJet Enterprise M507dn is a better choice than the Epson WorkForce WF-7720, as the HP prints a lot faster and it has a significantly higher black page yield. However, for everything else, the Epson is better. The Epson has a scanner, it has wider connectivity options, and it has mobile app support. Also, it can print in color and it prints good-looking photos.
Overall, the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M4789fdw is a much better printer than the HP LaserJet Enterprise M507dn. The M4789fdw can print in color, it has a scanner, and it has significantly better connectivity options. However, the Enterprise M507dn is a better choice for printing black and white documents, as it has faster printing speed and its black toner cartridge can yield a lot more pages.
For most uses, the Epson EcoTank ET-4760 is a better printer than the HP LaserJet Enterprise M507dn. The Epson is more versatile since it's an inkjet printer that can also print in color. It also comes with a scanner that has an automatic document feeder, and it has much wider connectivity options. Surprisingly, the Epson has a higher black page yield, but it comes nowhere near the HP when it comes to printing speed.
