Driver HP LaserJet Pro M275 MFP
HP TopShot LaserJet Pro M275 MFP does the latter. Think of it as a multifunction color laser printer, but with a 3D scanner rather than a traditional flatbed scanner. It isn’t 3D in the sense that the scans will require funny glasses, and it won't create 3D models you can rotate. Rather, it’s 3D in that you can scan or copy three-dimensional objects, such as coins or matchboxes, as well as the usual paper-based documents, without trying to sandwich them under the lid of a traditional scanner. The M275 is an all-in-one printer with a difference. And that difference brings both advantages and disadvantages.

Setting aside the 3D scanner for a moment, the M275 is a highly capable color laser printer. We were impressed by its ability to print color graphics, especially photos. Too often, you have to sacrifice graphics print quality if you want the superior-looking text printing of a laser printer. On the other hand, this model’s 50-sheet paper-output bin, higher-than-average per-page costs, and lack of support (either built-in or optional) for automatic double-sided printing make it less attractive for business use as a primary printer, as opposed to an add-on printer.
And because of its unusual scanning mechanism, the M275 is something of a niche product. It’s close to ideal if you regularly scan objects or delicate documents and need a consistent, relatively fast method for reproducing those objects either in print or on the Web. In theory, you might do a better job capturing these objects with a high-quality digital camera and careful lighting, but that could be more trouble and time than it’s worth.
