HP LaserJet Pro M118dw (4PA39A0) A4 Wireless Mono Laser Printer with Wi-Fi® Direct Printing - White

Used for a small business. It worked pretty much out of the box. I installed the wifi drivers first but couldnt work out how to link it to my wifi network despite reading the instructions, so I gave up and used the USB cable. This prompted a different set of drivers which I had to download, they weren't on CD. Once installed it whirred and clicked a lot (seemed like it was broken!) but then it settled down. When I printed my first page it was very quick. ideal for single invoices or small runs. I have had it a few days now and very pleased with the print quality. Some reviews say it has poor grey scale, but a mono laser printer isn't really for pictures, is it. It's for documents and letters. Only gripe is, if you switch your desk off at night at the mains, it has to be switched on again with the power button, it doesn't automatically come out of sleep if the mains has been turned off. Edit: After a few day's use, I no longer have to press the power button. It now remembers to power itself 'on' when you flick the plug on.

Working from home as a lecturer (my wife is also a lecturer) tends to produce vast quantities of printed matter and, although we try to review things on screen, we often need to print papers for editing. This was getting ridiculously expensive with our ink jet printer, which seemed to suck up expensive ink cartridges with alarming frequency. Going to Sainsbury's and finding the bill inflated by 20 quid or more by the inclusion of an ink cartridge was something that had to stop. This printer has been a boon, and has printed well over 1500 pages on the first replacement cartridge I installed. The cartridge which came with the printer didn't seem to last very long, but the non-HP replacement has been great. Although it is only black and white this has not been a problem, and it has saved a lot of extra expense - I have having my Easyjet boarding pass eat up colour ink/toner when I don't need it!

This is a good cheap laser printer. It is black and white between 3-4p a sheet and prints both sides.Doesn't seem to support high wifi channels 12, 13 & 14.The lack of a screen is off-putting because you get so little feedback, the lack of any documentation is worse.I got the printer working immediately by pressing the WPS connect button on my wireless access point and then holding down the blue flashing light on the printer.The buttons are* Wireless button and light (Coloured blue. Press for WPS. If blinking, it isn't connected)* Attention light* Ready light* Supplies light* Resume button* Cancel buttonAnyway the printer was fine until it suddenly wasn't on the network any more.Turns out my wireless access point had switched to a high channel and the printer wouldn't connect any more.Once I figured it out I forced the wireless access point to use channel 2 and then the printer was working again.It seems that wifi channels over 11 are illegal in the USA and kit designed to be used there won't connect over them.Here are my notes while I worked this out...* The printer has separate MAC addresses for wired and wireless adapters* I couldn't get a USB connection to work on Win10* Printer shows up under "Network" as both a "Printer" and an "Other Devices". If you click the "Other Devices" icon it opens the admin web page even if you don't know the address.* You can set a password for accessing the built-in admin web page* Although the admin website looks rubbish and simple, it does work. Click the green "Networking" tab for all the good stuff.* I noticed that when you use a network cable, the blue networking light goes off and the printer won't print over wifi _BUT_ the wifi is still working. You can use a wired connection to configure and test wifi. When all is well just disconnect the cable and it flips over to wireless.* The printer will enumerate wifi networks by SSID but it seems to baulk as soon a it finds a 12,13,14 channel SSID. Until I turned off my wireless access point only one network was listed. Afterwards the printer could see the usual twenty or so networks in my street. You could try moving the printer as close to your access point as possible. You can also just type in the SSID and wifi key.

Good quality printer that turns out high quality prints. When you do a lot of printing as I do then inkjet is definitely the way to go. The cartridges are not cheap but you’ll get a good 1000 pages from one cartridge. However, it isn’t easy to install and set up and it often drops out of WiFi which is a curse as it’s isn’t easy to sync back in, you have to reboot your router every time it drops out, fortunately it doesn’t happen often but when it does it’s a friggin nightmare. Good printer though just unstable WiFi. I ended up going back to a cable and have had no issues since!

Basic laser jet which is exactly what I wanted - mono, one sided print, clear print, fast (as its a laser jet not an inkjet). And a bonus - it came with a USB cable !!It has wifi capability, but I don't need or want that - I just needed a very basic laser jet printer, and now I have one after sending two back.Good value for money, much quicker and more reliable than an ink jet and so much cheaper to run. A proper printer, not a toy with loads of gimmicks. If you need a printer that prints with clarity and is quick and easy to set up, and doesn't cost the earth (and with a USB cable), this is the one.

I could not get this to work at first. It said connected to the internet but it wouldn't print so I uninstalled it reinstalled it done all the checks that could do on it overall it took several hours and eventually I managed to get it Hooked Up and working and once it was Hooked Up a working it's fine the automatic double-sided printing just basically means that it takes the page it prints in and print the other side it doesn't mean that it automatically detects, that the document is two-sided do you still need to set the two-sided print on the long edge, on your computer screen before you send it to the printer otherwise it will only print one side.
