HP - LaserJet M140w Wireless Black and White Laser Printer - White

Very easy to set up on your phone and computer, great affordable printer

TLDR: Paper loads in the open lower tray, but prints are fast and crisp. The printer comes with the power plug, toner and the unit itself. No other wires. Build is very clean, concise, to the point, no real bells or whistles. The LCD screen is a little dark, not what i'm used to but I suppose its a minor function most people don't use. The set up is very easy, just download the app and follow the instructions. Although I did have trouble connecting the wifi initially, despite the password being correct it wouldnt connect but on the 3rd attempt with the same password it connected. Once your printer is connected to your network, everything is very simple. My computers were able to see it , print to it. The app is nice, allows me to scan, print my photos, documents directly from my app. The dithering pattern/quality of photo is better than I expected for this build. The pdf/text/music notes I printed shows the printer manages edges very well on regular/normal/economic printer paper. I find it hard not to recommend this printer, I only took away a star because if the printer is going for simplicity, having that error on set up can be discouraging. Also some people may prefer not to have an app to operate / set up their printer and it's just very difficult to do that with only a small digital LCD screen. And of course loading the paper on the bottom isn't a big deal in most situations but it does have it's pro that it's easy to load, but the con that it's easy to accumulate dust or if you have a cat or child they may just swipe out the paper / dislodge paper.

I have been using the HP Laser MFP M140W for several days, both as a printer and scanner and been giving it a lot of use both to print and scan as I get my tax files organized. The first thing you notice when you get the HP MFP M140W out of the box is how small it is - this is a laser printer with the footprint of an inkjet. As a compact laser printer for your home, it's great. Setup was easy on my WiFi 6 network. You use the (free) HP Smart app and it was connected to my WiFi in a few minutes. Despite what the app claims, you don't need to install software on your computer once the printer is on your WiFi network, both our Windows and MacOS devices discovered the HP MFP M140W and were able to print and scan without any need for HP software. Yay! As a printer, it prints at a claimed 21ppm, I didn't time it but printing was fast. One thing to know about the HP MFP M140W is that it doesn't have a true paper tray. You load paper by opening a flap at the front and the paper sits outside not in the printer. This is not a bad thing, just something you should know as the pictures would suggest it has internal paper storage but it does not (see picture). This is not necessarily bad just that I do prefer printers with paper trays that protect the paper. Why this all matters is if you don't make sure you have the printer output flap open, then as you print, paper can basically self feed back into the paper tray and you will print over your printouts in an infinite loop. One of the things I do like about the HP MFP M140W is that HP Instant Ink is optional! This is a big step forward for HP who use to force Instant Ink on everyone. If you are after a compact multifunction black and white laser printer, that's perfect for your home you can't go wrong. The scanner seems a little slow, there's no way for me to
