LaserJet M234dw Monochrome Printer | All-in-One | Wireless | Duplex

My very old HP LaserJet Wireless Printer finally called it a day. Purchased this HP LaserJet MFP M234dw Wireless Printer as a replacement. Very pleased with this laser printer! Setup Tip: I highly advise setting up this printer from the HP Setup App downloaded onto your smartphone. I first tried setting it up with an app downloaded onto my laptop, and that app did not have the ability to set up my wi-fi connection. (I had this exact same problem when I set up a wireless backyard weather station.) I downloaded the Set Up app onto my android smartphone and the set up, including establishing the wi-fi connection, went along fine. After set up, don't forget to add the printer to any computers or other devices it will be printing from. Use: Great for both personal and home office use. Smooth paper flow through the printer when printing to avoid those frustrating paper jams. Cartridges: The 134A laser cartridge is easy to install and remove. Appearance: A sleek appearance; dimensions as advertised. Printing and Scanning: Excellent crisp printing and scanning. The scanning quality is MUCH better than on my old laser printer. Easy to scan from your desired scanning app on your computer or smartphone. Go To Sleep Time: When on and idle, the printer goes to sleep in 15 minutes as a default. This time can be adjusted. Serial Number: The serial number - which you will need to register the printer - is located on the inside printer cartridge drawer. This laser printer is a terrific value, too. I highly recommend this product.

So far this printer has worked well. Quickly prints with clear and focused printing. The printer sits two rooms away from my laptop and I have had no issues with the Wifi. I love that the footprint of the machine is smaller and does not overwhelm the space. I do not do lots of printing, maybe only a few times a week, so I cannot speak to its large capacity printing. The copying function is fine, but I have not used the scanning yet (not much need for it). I would say it is a good printer, based on my experience so far, perfect for small to average home use. The set-up was relatively easy for an amateur who follows directions well, as I would not call myself tech-savvy. Very satisfied with this purchase.

I am someone who got tired of buying expensive ink cartridges for inkjet printers that would dry out if not used regularly, especially in the winter, so I decided I could live with just a black & white printer and switched to a laser printer. After reviewing a number of them, I decided on this one, especially since it was a really good price before Christmas. Some people in their reviews said they had difficulty setting this up, which I don't understand. If you sign in to HP according to the setup instructions and follow them, I think this was the easiest setup of anything that I've ever had! (I've had computers and printers since 1998.) It does not come with a user manual, but the manual can be found online, and I saved it on my iPad. I printed some forms and was surprised that they automatically came out double sided just like the originals. I thought I would have to tell it to print on both sides if that's what I wanted. It was very fast for my home needs and isn't as noisy as the old inkjet printer was. I don't know much else about it yet, but so far I am very impressed!

Initially, I rated this as an okay printer. Now, not so much. It does not come with basic operation instructions. Today I had hoped to do a basic scanning and there were no instructions to be found. Hopefully, tomorrow I can contact their support staff for those instructions. This is tiresome! At first, I gave it three stars because it only prints black print, and I so loved my color printer before it stopped working. Also, I purchased this printer, because the majority of the reviews shared that it was an 'easy setup.' For me, it was not an easy setup. Fortunately, I found an IT specialist who was available and set it up for me ... and I paid him. Knowing that I am not very techy, I had hoped that the 'easy setup' information was accurate. Again, it was not easy for me to set up, and I spent hours trying to figure out the step in the basic instructions before reaching out to a specialist. Now that it is setup, it seemed fine. Not great, yet adequate for my basic printing needs. However, now I cannot figure out how to scan a simple document ... sigh. Yesterday, I contacted HP, talked with a person who was kind, patient, and had no idea how to help me. He actually disconnected my printing capability that I previously paid an IT specialist to set up. We worked together for maybe 30 to 45 minutes, and I finally asked for a supervisor. Eventually, the supervisor helped me, and after about maybe one and one-half hours later, I was able to print and scan. This is not an 'easy set up.'

My good friend David Miles is a big time computer tech geek, and it is thanks to him that this machine is up and connected and running. Without him I woulda either spent hours on hold with tech support or a few 100 bucks on a house call to get this set up and running. The network connectivity system is sort of a pain to set up. Now that it's set up, this machine is awesome I could not be happier with it. I thought I bought a machine that could print front and back then when I got this out of the box and saw how little it is I was sure i most have made a mistake. No way this tiny piece of equipment can do front and back. It sure can! I've done a few docs with this feature and they all come out perfect. I would love to have a feature that can copy a stack of docs front and back which this cannot do, but for me it is not a feature that I honestly NEED at all. As long as you don't need to print 500+ pages a day and don't need to auto copy stacks of front/back pages, this little guy will meet all other needs you could have for a home printer. 6 out of 5 star score 😄 Go into the purchase knowing that it's tricky to set up the network, but also know you will love it once it's set up. It prints from my laptop AND phone 24/7 doesn't matter if its been asleep for days it wakes up and is doing its job in 2 or 3 seconds without fail

The HP printer app Smart HP is awful. Be prepared to stick to it to get it set up. After an hour I got it to print double sided from my phone (be sure you are on the same WiFi as the printer. It is not an air printer). Would only print 2 sided manually from laptop, until I went into MS settings, printer, and checked - it was checked for manual there (probably from the HP app). So now it's ok. I bought through a reseller. HP now sets the warranty to begin when it's sold, so HP would not let me register my printer. Had to call HP and speak with a person (not the IA interface. Worse than voice mail hell btw), submit copies of the Amazon invoice via email, and swear the printer was in an originally packed box. Print quality is great. Connected to WiFi ok. The double sided printing will be very helpful.

Some of the reviews almost scared me off the purchase of this unit. Happy to report - none of what I read - turned out to be true for me. No issues with the WiFi (I assigned it a static IP - it always gets the same IP address from my router). No problems with printer 'sleep' settings - printer awakens nicely each time - even after sitting idle for days (Sleep settings are configurable). Printing is clean, crisp and fast (duplex - on both sides of paper if desired). Shared with both my Android (15-16) and Windows 11 devices. I was not forced or tricked into signing up for Instant Ink subscriptions. I buy HP branded toner cartridges (by choice) - whenever I need them - through Amazon. Not a high volume printer user anymore - so I'm not interested in buying 3rd party toners to save some bucks (I believe some people get into trouble - once they try to use those generic toners - the printer firmware will try to prevent you from their use). I can't be bothered with the potential aggravation with their use - I just buy HP toner and use high quality 24lb (Navigator Brand) laser or multipurpose paper. Very happy with my printer purchase. Great for student/home use. (40 Year IT professional-Retired)

Long time ink-jet user for 25 years with various printer brands. My printing needs have changed over the years and this meant dry printheads from less frequent printing lately. I rarely print pictures anymore and don't really need color printing. So the logical choice was a laser printer. I did sacrifice having a document feeder for scanning because of space constraints but this was a small price to pay. Setup was quite simple including WiFi connection using the HP Smart app. However I was bugged by the need to create an HP account and login for doing basically anything. WHY DO I NEED a frigging HP account to scan a page??? I downloaded the HP Universal Scan software from the HP web site (full feature software and driver) which works locally without any HP login and installed it. You don't need to subscribe to anything or need to use the HP Smart app to use the printer. As is, I am able to print from my Android phone without installing any extra app and a recent visitor was able to print from their own Windows 11 laptop by just adding a network printer and without installing anything extra. I also went ahead and disabled HP web services on the printer which is not needed for normal use unless you subscribe to the instant ink service. Be aware of the things this printer DOES NOT do before you purchase: color printing, multi-page scanning (no document feeder) and fax.

Great machine and really easy to set up and use. Highly recommend recommended

I have had this for about 4 months and surprisingly I haven't had a single issue. I have it set up on my home network and it just...works. Any device connected to my network can print to it and the speed and quality is great. Scanning is just as easy too. We'll see how long the toner lasts, but I've printed hundreds of pages and it's still going strong. I also like how it just sits in low power mode and comes on when you need it and you don't have to power it on first. Overall very happy with this printer.

Great printer/scanner for the price. Easy to set up and easy to use and it doesn't take up too much space.. Does the job & the printing is good quality.

Great printer. Happy with purchase

Excellent product, great price. Just as described
