Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Sharp MX-B450P is actually for

Most printer pages just tell you what a printer does. Here's the honest version: when this machine is the right choice, when it's fine, and when you should look at something else. We sell a lot of these for a reason, but the reason is not "every office."

Best fit

Pick this if...

  • You're a small office or workgroup of 8-20 people that needs a print-only mono workhorse at 45 ppm with Wi-Fi standard and a real 500-sheet drawer.
  • You print 2,000-5,000 pages a month — letters, contracts, proposals, transactional output — and want PCL 6 plus PostScript 3 standard.
  • You print from phones and tablets — AirPrint and Sharpdesk Mobile work out of the box.
  • You walk up with a USB stick and want to drop a PDF — front USB host port handles direct print of TIFF, JPEG, PCL, PRN, TXT, PDF, and PostScript.
  • You need Blue Angel-rated environmental compliance — the MX-B450P specifically carries Blue Angel certification (the B350P does not).
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print up to 7,000 pages a month — engine handles it but plan for the optional MX-CS14N 600-sheet feed unit (max 1) to push capacity to 1,150 sheets.
  • You sometimes need legal-size duplex — supported, but max paper size is 8.5 x 14; no 11x17.
  • You want encrypted PDF direct print — supported only without password (use the driver path for password-protected PDFs).
  • You're considering whether to step up from the MX-B350P — only worth it if your monthly volume is over 2,500 pages or if you're regularly waiting on the engine.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You need scan, copy, or fax — this is print-only. The MX-B455W is the MFP version.
  • You need color — mono only.
  • You need 11x17 (ledger) — max here is 8.5 x 14 (legal).
  • You print over 7,000 pages a month — you'll outgrow the 1,150-sheet max. Move to the MX-B557P or MX-B707P, which target higher volume.
  • You need 1,200 dpi for fine text or graphics — this prints at 600 x 600 dpi only.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Sharp MX-B450P is a 45-ppm desktop monochrome laser printer for small offices and workgroups of 8-20 people that need a print-only workhorse with Wi-Fi standard and a 500-sheet drawer. It's the 10-ppm-faster sibling to the MX-B350P on the same chassis: PCL 6 and PostScript 3, 600 x 600 dpi, 500-sheet drawer plus a 50-sheet bypass for envelopes and heavy stock up to 80 lb cover. The optional MX-CS14N 600-sheet feed unit (max 1) pushes capacity to 1,150 sheets. First print drops to 5.0 seconds (vs 5.5 on the B350P), warm-up is 29 seconds, and the engine sits on a Quatro 5510 800 MHz controller with 1 GB of memory. Connectivity covers Gigabit Ethernet, 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi, USB 2.0 (front host port for direct print, rear device port), AirPrint, Google Cloud Print, and Sharpdesk Mobile for iOS and Android. The 5-line LCD handles job programs and admin without a touchscreen. Dimensions are 19.25 x 20.375 x 17.3 inches at 50.7 lb. Blue Angel certified. The thing buyers regret: paying the speed premium for volume they don't have. If you're under 2,500 pages a month, the MX-B350P is the same machine 10 ppm slower for less money. Best for offices that actually run the engine and want the extra throughput.

Supplies & consumables

Toner, yields, and what to actually reorder

The #1 question we get on this printer is "which toner do I buy?" Short answer: you have two cartridge options and a drum. Standard yield TN830 covers roughly 1,200 pages. High yield TN830XL covers roughly 4,500 pages and is the better value for most offices. Pick XL unless you print very little.

The drum unit (DR810) is separate and usually lasts 15,000 to 30,000 pages before it needs replacing. At a typical small office volume, expect to change it once every 2 to 4 years.

If you lease this printer through us, toner and drum are included. You never pay for supplies separately. That's usually the better deal once you add up real costs over 3 years.

What customers actually say

The 5-star consensus: "it just works"

Small sample size, high signal. The 4 verified reviewers picked this model to replace older inkjets or aging Sharp machines. Common threads in the feedback:

  • ★ "Been using this for our office for about two years now. The MX-B450P handles our print volume without breaking a sweat, and the copy quality is solid. Network setup was straightforward, which I appreciated since we didn't have IT support on hand."
  • ★ "We run a print shop and needed something that could keep up with moderate volume jobs. The MX-B450P does the job well, prints are consistent, and it's been low maintenance so far. Good value compared to some competitors in this range."
  • ★ "We use this for our small accounting office and it handles our volume without any issues. The print quality is consistent and the copier function saves us time on document management."
  • ★ "Does what it's supposed to do. The 45 page per minute speed is decent but not blazing. Main complaint is the manual is hard to navigate when you need to adjust settings."
