HP - LaserJet Pro MFP 3101fdw Wireless AI-Enabled Black-and-White All-in-One Laser Printer - White

The MFP 3101fdw has quickly become the go-to printer in the office, and it's easy to see why, from the long list of features and pros, versus very few cons. Pros: *Speed*: This thing churns out multi-page documents quicker than the time to walk over to pick them up. We're talking 2 pages a second here. When your 20 year old workhorse (also an HP) gives you 2 pages in 15 seconds, it's a no brainer when time matters. Even printing 2 sided is a breeze - both in simplicity and in speed. *Quality*: Precise, tight text and image printing - it's what you'd expect - it's what you get! I'm not going to be printing B/W photos from it... but something tells me I probably could get some photo paper and do so with nice results. *Connectivity*: Here's the biggest deal for our workplace. No longer is the printer required to be wired to the router. no longer is the user tethered to a desktop or laptop. Mobile printing is a game changer. AirPrint or Mopria are standouts for our iOS and Android users. While HP Smart needs coaxing at times to prevent the printer from showing an invalid file error, it will still work as well on both.. Further, taking a USB stick with documents was easy to print from; equally easy was scanning a doc to create a file on that same USB *All-in-one*: moving from taking pictures of scanned documents for email (especially multi-page), where lighting and movement create sub-par results has been a huge time savings for us. Copies are easier and high quality, with resizing up to 4x, and faxes are... well, still unnecessary, but now at least we do have an option if absolutely necessary! Cons: Error statuses: When a printer error does happen as part of the job, the alert (green bar at top with red right icon) disappears so fast you have to be looking right at it (which typically one doesn't do when sending the print job). I'll assume more persistent error (paper jams) would have persistent messages, but this one case is annoying and doesn't provide any details. That's really it on cons. One unknown is how long this laser 138A cartridge will last. If the ~1,500 pages is true, this could be a bit high of an expense, though there is a bulk cartridge 138X which promises ~4,000 pages for about 2x the cost. All said, we're very pleased with this new addition, which has made work easier and has improved imaging needs substantially. Looking forward to this being our next 20 year workhorse!

My previous printer fell off the edge of the table and that was the end of it, I tried to repurchase the same model but apparently it was no longer been produced. I started searching for a new printer then I came across this printer, believe you me, this printer surpasses all expectations, very fast, easy to use and very durable.

I have obtained this printer after trying three other inkjet printers.Finally I made the right decision. This is fast when printing and scanning, cost less and portable, compared to many other medium size for home printers. I would recommend anyone who want printers for home or for small size office to considers buying this product. I like it.

I've used HP, Brother, Samsung, among other brands for home/office printers. I recently even switched my business printers to the HP enterprise models. For a home/small office printer, this is quite wonderful. The print speed for one is satisfactory, even when printing double-sided documents. The printer itself was slightly larger than I expected but it's still a great size. I currently have it on the floor until I create a cabinet for it but it's not too heavy. It's not so large that it's a one-and-done, never moving again, kind of dimension. Print quality-wise, you really can't go wrong with LaserJet printers. I feel that's the way to go. HP does a great job at keeping the toner quality nice and crisp. I have yet to find any flaws in the prints. The one downside to this printer, it could honestly be just a one-time defect, my touch display will experience intermittent banding. One day it'll be nice and bright, the next day the screen will be flickering with thin bands going across the screen. I've tried keeping the monitor in the housing slot/flat, I've tried keeping it raised, I've power cycled, ran software updates, with no success. If it was something I purchased at full price, I'd definitely follow up on it, but it's a minor issue for me. Nothing detrimental. Overall, 4.5/5 for the class of printer, print speed, quality, and brand.

The machine itself works great. But there seems to be intermittent problems with connection. Originally I used wifi with occasional problems connecting. So I opted to use a line connection. But even with the line connection there are times I can't connect. Perhaps it has something to with updates that my computer receives or the drivers that HP installs. It would be a five stars, if not for the connection problem.
