The HP PageWide Pro 577dw Multifunction printer uses a combination of inkjet and laser technologies. It yields a remarkable number of pages, resulting in a very low cost-per-print. It's fully equipped with a high-resolution flatbed scanner and an automatic document feeder that can perform duplex scanning. There's a wide range of connectivity options, but unfortunately, it doesn't support Bluetooth printing. Also, color accuracy is disappointing. While photo printing quality is decent, our unit leaves scratch-like lines over images.
Note that the printer is marketed as using a combination of inkjet and laser technology. While the cartridges are physically much longer than traditional inkjet cartridges, the printer seems to print per line like on inkjet printers instead of per dot like on laser printers. As such, we categorize it as an inkjet printer.

Popular Printer Comparisons
The HP PageWide Pro 577dw is an outstanding model for small or home offices. While its color accuracy isn't as good as some other similar options like the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M479fdw, its page yield and cost-per-print for black printing are exceptional for a printer that doesn't have a supertank. It has fantastic scanner features and many connectivity options to satisfy your office's needs.

The HP PageWide Pro 557dw and the Brother MFC-L3770CDW Laser are both office printers. The HP uses a combination of laser and inkjet technologies, while the Brother is a laser printer. The HP has significantly higher page yields at a much lower cost-per-print, and it takes much less time to print out its first page. However, the Brother is a better choice if you want better color accuracy and if you want a mobile app that lets you print HTML, TXT, and PDF files from your mobile device.
The HP PageWide Pro 577dw and the Brother MFC-J995DW are two different types of printers. The HP is a small or home office printer that yields more pages, automatically processes double-sided scans, and prints much faster. On the other hand, the Brother is a family printer that produces nicer-looking photos, prints with much better color accuracy, and it has a lower cost-per-print since its cartridges cost much less.
The HP PageWide Pro 577dw and the HP OfficeJet Pro 7740 are both ideal for small or home offices. If you tend to print large numbers of documents often, the 577dw is a better choice since it has a much higher page yield, has two extra-high yield cartridge sizes, and a much lower cost-per-print. It also prints much faster. However, if you print photos in color more often, the 7740 produces nicer-looking photos and prints with much better color accuracy. Also, the 7740 can print and scan 11" x17" sheets, which the 577dw can't.
The HP PageWide Pro 557dw and the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M479fdw are both fantastic office printers. The LaserJet Pro is a laser printer, while the PageWide uses a combination of laser and inkjet technologies. The PageWide yields significantly more pages at a much lower cost-per-print and its input tray holds more than half the amount of sheets the LaserJet Pro can.
