HP LaserJet Pro M118dw Wireless Monochrome Laser Printer, Auto Two-Sided Printing, Mobile Printing, Works with Alexa (4PA39A)

I recently moved to one of the "cities" in Idaho. (There are about 50,000 people in this town.) Prior to moving I had DSL and my Samsung wireless printer worked fine on my local network. I have fiber optic in my new house and the Samsung M2020 could not see the new network. Fair enough, the Samsung is about five years old. I read many reviews about networkable, home laser printers and decided on this HP model for three main reasons: 1. There is an Ethernet port so I can simply plug the printer into the router and avoid dealing with Wi-Fi. 2. This printer comes with a plethora of features such as automatic dual side printing as opposed to mono side printing and then having to feed the paper in again in order to print on the back. 3. The amazing low price. This printer sell for just under $100 - with my Amazon points I paid $55.00. I had read that some customers were unhappy due to the difficulty they experienced setting up each of their computers to print to this printer. All I can say is that setup and configuration on each machine I own took about five minutes per machine. In all honesty it took me more time to remove the packing tape from the printer that actually setting up the printer. Step 1:Remove all the tape Step 2: Plug the printer into the wall. Step 3: Connect the printer to the router via and Ethernet cable. Step 4: On each Windows machine you have, search for new printer under the add printers screen Step 5: Select the new HP printer from the list. Step 6: Click the setup button that appears on the screen. Step 7: Print On my Linux laptop the new printer was found and configured automatically so I was able to skip ahead to step 7. Really folks, it was that simple. Another complaint that I read about was that this printer uses "special toner", that is toner that is different from all other (less expensive) toner. As I am still on the toner that came pre-installed, I guess I don't know if it is difficult to buy toner or not. I do know I found a link that takes me to the HP store to buy new toner. I suspect that the customer who was complaining about the "special toner" really meant it is difficult to find 3rd party toner which is compatible with HP's toner cartridge. My only response to that is, when the printer (especially one that comes with all the features this one has AND is incredibly simple to set up, like this one is) costs so little, I guess you can expect to pay a premium on toner - HP is in this game to make a profit after all. All in all, I recommend this printer! I really like the email feature which allows me to email documents from the road and have them waiting for me when I return home.

I wanted a black and white printer only. I didn't need another scanner, just a printer that could do double-sided if I needed it to. It prints fast and clearly - I have had no problems with track marks like some others. Double-sided works great and is easily turned off if you don't need it. The paper tray holds a lot of paper. The toner that came with the printer lasts a long time. It is now telling me toner is low and even though toner is low, I just printed 270 pages no problem with the toner low (one-sided). I have had no experience with any kind of humming noise when it isn't printing - mine is totally silent when not printing. It's about as noisy as any printer when it's printing. It connects wirelessly and through Airprint for Apple which is great. The initial install was the easiest printer install I have ever done - took less than 5 minutes and I was up and running by going to the HP website (I don't have a disk drive to use so had to use the online version). I made sure to buy an extra toner at the time of purchasing this printer and I still haven't needed to use it and I have printed at least 600 pages, so I'm happy with the initial use toner cartridge because other printers have starter ink / cartridges that barely last at all. It's also a very compact size so it fits easily on my printer cart. 10/10 for this printer so far! (I will update if anything changes.)

I don't need to print in color, nor do I print in high volume. I just needed a basic monochrome laser printer with WIFI to replace an older office one without WIFI. I waited until now to write a review to spend time using it and see how holds up. As of this writing, it has performed flawlessly. Setup was easy and straightforward. The printer has not dropped its WIFI connection to my network once since I've installed it. Sleep mode is undefeatable, but I've never had a problem with it at all. In fact, this printer wakes from sleep and prints almost instantly. My expectations for the price point weren't very high when I bought this. So far, I'm pleasantly surprised by the function and build quality of this printer. I think it's a good buy for the money.

Very excellent printer and I recommend it It's a great choice
