HP LaserJet MFP M234sdw Wireless Printer, Print, scan, Copy, Fast speeds, Easy Setup, Mobile Printing, Best-for-Small Teams

After reading (too many) of the negative reviews, I was hesitant to order this HP laser printer. But looking at my options and my budget, I decided to give it a try. After a few days of use, I am extremely pleased with this printer. First of all, the setup was a lot easier for me than many of the reviewers experienced. Basically, I took it out of the box, plugged it in and got ready to use the HP123.com set up app. (The toner cartridge was pre-installed.) I set the printer up using my iPhone as I already had an HP 9018 color inkjet printer in my office (another great printer by the way). I would recommend NOT trying to set this up via your computer, if you have a smart phone available. The HP123 app set up this printer on my 3 wireless laptops without a hitch in less than a minute each. For my 15-year-old Dell XPS tower desktop that does not have a wireless connection**, the HP app was able to find that computer on my network and set it up to print -- also in less than a minute. I was able to print a test page from all 4 of my computers, an Apple iPad, and 3 Apple iPhones in less than 20 minutes total. The print quality is what you would expect from a 300dpi laser printer. Good enough for a home office. The speed? Well, I was replacing a 30-year-old HP Laserjet 4MP where the power supply finally died, so the speed was amazing compared to that older printer. It's quiet too. About the same as the color HP 9018 as far as loudness. The scan and copy functions are fast and produce good copies. The auto-document feeder works as expected. This new printer has not lost the wireless connection a single time since I installed the printer. Of course, I can't speak to the longevity of this printer. But if it continues to work as it has been, I am going to be extremely happy with this HP product. The price has been ranging between $149, $199, and $279. At the two lower prices, I think this is a 5-star printer for a home office. At $279, I might want to check other options. I highly recommend this printer. I have zero association with HP, although I will acknowledge that I have owned the HP Laserjet 4MP, the Deskjet 990c, and the Inkjet HP 9018. All served me well and I think this one will do the same. I should note that the printer does not come with a user manual that would show you all the functions and how to use them. I'm assuming I can find a manual somewhere on the HP.com website. ** I thought I was going to have to use a USB A-B cable (not included) to get this to print to my old Dell desktop. But once the HP123 app saw the printer on my network, the USB cable was not needed. But there is a USB connection if you do need it for an older system.

If you are a looking for a one stop pro Black/White printer solution for your small business needs, this is it! It has amazing printing speeds and wifi connectivity features that will make your life easier. My HP LaserJet M234sdw printer was a breeze to setup and use. I like really like the build quality as it looks really nice on our station. The print speed is quick and consistent with more than 30 pages per minute; more importantly we didn’t have any ink smudges and paper print quality looks and feels amazing. We had a print job of over 300 pages and it was able to handle it without an issue or taking a break. The Setup was super simple and easy. The HP app was great as we it guided us through the entire process. The rest of the setup was pretty intuitive and self-explanatory. I highly recommend getting the HP Instant Ink service as we got two month free and the toner rates seemed comparable to other off label toners especially when to signup for higher print page tiers. I love that It is also able to print thick stock papers which makes it a breeze for printing posters. I also love the fact that we can scan directly to phone as previously I needed to install desktop software to do that. It also has a mobile fax feature which can be setup on HP's account and auto prints as fax's come in. If I really need to get nitty picky, I wish they have the control screen on the printer rather than the paper tray. The paper tray had a wobbly tendency so when you touch the scan button, it wouldn’t always recognize the first time, having a touchscreen I feel like would have been better. But also think about it, being an office printer, I have been able to use the printer with gloves on, which I think wouldn’t have been possible with a touch screen. Other than this minor inconvinence, this is an excellent printer. Overall, we are really satisfied with the printer and love the speed along with the HP app to keep the printer secure along with some of the scanning features. Highly recommend this product for anyone looking for high speed high quality printing solution.

When first setting up and unboxing this printer I asked myself how is this printer so small but have so many capabilities. It takes up a very small footprint on your desk. This is great for small businesses and small families. You can set up this printer anywhere in your house and be able to print. This is where the versatility of this printer comes into play.You just need the HP app on your phone to set it up and start printing without a PC. I love this! If you do want to print the traditional way with a PC or Mac, you can. I used a USB cord with my Mac and it was found very easily. Either way works for this printer. This is the best thing of this printer. The many options to print is amazing. Here are all the ways to print HP app, usb, airprint, and android IP. If you have trouble printing one way you can just use another way. This is so much easier to set up and makes it more versatile. I'm coming from a dumb laser printer that only used a USB cord to print. Not having to have a PC always on in order to print is such a time saver. Also being able to keep this HP printer on without heating up my room and dim our lights to keep itself warmed up. This HP printer I can keep on all the time without these issues. The interface on the actual printer is small, simple and to the point. Which is great since mostly all the advance options are being done on your phone or the app interface. This printer also offers duplex printing which saves a lot on paper. HP also offers a subscription service that keeps track of your pages printed and will send out ink as you need it. They offer a two month trial which is basically free tone for two months. Just pick the right plan and print away without worrying about you ink level, ever. This HP printer is so much fun to use.

This is a great little printer. It can be connected via ethernet or wireless with ease. Works well with HP smart for scanning, faxing or copying. I gave it a four-star rating because the control panel is mounted on the paper tray, I am not a big fan of that feature; but it does work flawlessly so far. I see this as only a possible draw back to me and time will tell. This is offset by a plus. It does make double sided copies when needed, that saves paper. I don't require colored copies for home use. This printer has a small footprint, so it doesn't require a lot of space. Is it worth the price? I would have to say yes. Ink cartridges for this, like most printers is a big factor to consider if you do a large amount of printing you may want to think about it. There is an X type one available capable of more copies. This is my honest review as an uncompensated user of this printer. I trust that this review may help someone.

I love HP LJ printers! This one was so unbelievably easy to setup. I am using a USB cable instead of the Bluetooth connection which is my preference. As soon as I turned it on Windows saw it and I successfully printed a test page! I went to the website as per instructed on the documentation and download the necessary software so that I can use the copy and scan features too.

Total junk software. iPhone users—stay far away. I really wanted to love this printer. Out of the box, it’s a sleek-looking machine, and the build quality feels solid. Unfortunately, a printer is only as good as its ability to actually print, and getting this thing connected is an exercise in futility. The Setup Nightmare The instructions provided in the box might as well be for a completely different product. They do not match the actual steps required to link the printer to the HP mobile app. I spent hours trying to bridge the gap between what the manual said and what the app was actually doing, but nothing aligned. App & Support Failure The HP Smart mobile app is essentially a brick. It failed to recognize the printer consistently, and even when it did, it would drop the connection immediately. I reached out to HP Support, but they were completely ineffective—just a loop of basic troubleshooting steps I had already tried ten times. ⚠️ Warning for iPhone Users If you are planning to use an iPhone to set this up or manage your printing, do not buy this printer. The mobile connection method is fundamentally broken. Save yourself the high blood pressure and look at a brand that actually understands how to build a functional app. Bottom line: It looks great on a desk, but it’s total junk if you actually need to print something. Returning this immediately.

Using at home, sharp text, great speed upgrading from hp envy series. Ethernet, wifi or usb all work well. No more ink dry outs or ink subscriptions. One thing to note for those who are deciding between this and the model without the top auto-feeder: the scanner bed does a sharper copy than the auto feeder on top.

Excellent printer. While many of the reviews speak about difficulty hooking it up, I had no problem. I have this as an office printer that is connected to two different computers. One connection is USB and the other is CAT5 network cabling. Both went smoothly. If you do have you computer connected is network cable, you cannot use WiFi. So, I do not use the WiFi connection. The print quality is excellent and the speed is very fast.

Bought this as a stand-alone photocopier for our small church. We did not connect it to internet at all. Works really well, prints nice, clear copies. Compact, easy to use.

Einrichtung hat etwas gedauert, da mein Handy den Drucker nicht gefunden hat, aber als es dann ging, war es kein Problem den Drucker auf weitere Laptops und Handys zu installieren

First one came broken. The replacement set up in minutes. It was great! Easy addition to my computer setup

printer performs nicely and does all you would expect. However i am a bit disappointed on the software provided by HP. It does not have some simple OCR text recognition capabilities which much cheaper scanners have as a standard for many years. As well bare bones scanning file type options. Hopefully HP updates the software down the road. As a basic all in one scanner/copier/printer i would still recommend but not best in class budget. Consider Brother's similar product for a bit more.

Robust, quick and good quality. Scanner printer and software all easy to use. We print about 500 pages a week for over a year now with no issues.
