While we're complaining about HP's software, it's unfortunate that this MFP uses the same over-simplified scan interface that we so often criticise. We guessed at self-managed and seemed to get on fine after that, although like many printers the default settings include sending usage data back to the manufacturer: we've no idea why this is so widespread, or why it's always selected by default. The M476dn is simple to set up and install, aside from an odd question where you must decide if it will be self-managed, IT-managed, or whether it will print a configuration sheet. With only an optional 250-sheet paper feed available, there's limited scope to expand this MFP.
If you're printing 50 sheets or fewer you could use the multipurpose feed that folds down from the front panel. Unfortunately, the tray itself is unimpressive, feeling thin and flexible, and with the paper orientation stamped into the bottom plate in a way that it's covered up the moment you load it with paper not great if you want to manually print on the flip side of a few pages, for example.
The 250-sheet paper cassette glides in and out smoothly rather than clattering about. The 50-page automatic document feeder (ADF) sits on strong hinges which extend up to allow the lid to close flat on thick originals such as a magazine. This is quite a smart MFP, and in areas it feels particularly well built.
