Disadvantages
While the HP PageWide Pro 477DW has many benefits, it is on the large side; this is fine for office use, but makes the printer cumbersome and inconvenient for homeowners and small offices. In addition to its size, some users have reported that the scan resolution could be higher, as the quality of impressions isn’t as high as it could be.
