Customer Ratings & Reviews

Excellent printer. Exactly what I needed to print economically at home!

Works well. Easy to set up. Very satisfied with purchase.

JUNK! I Wish I could give zero stars. There is always an issue with the app, internet connection, or some other random "needs attention" issue. You have to reset multiple times I can't even get this piece of garbage hard wired for printing. It's going in the trash and I will never purchase another HP product.

I print a lot for my kids online schooling. Prints fast and use less ink.

Good product and easy to setup. Works great and never had any issues.

Good to use Fasting print……………………………………………………………..

I was looking to buy a cheap copier since I do not use it very often. The associate at Best Buy told me I would be better off with a laser jet printer because the cartridges won't dry out like an ink jet does. Paid a little more than I was going to, but glad I did. Took me a half hour to set up, but works great.

Good price for home printer that will be rarely used

Basic printing at its finest. Easy setup wifi or connected.

This is a very good printer -- does copying, printing and scanning as I wanted. Be advised it only takes HP ink however and it does not have an automatic feeder to copy/scan multiple sheets at a time. Other than that it is very good.

Easy to use make faster to get the job done Saves ink

Printers aren’t as essential of a PC accessory these days, but they still serve a purpose and have actually come a long way since the old inkjets that you’d find in most people’s homes. This HP LaserJet M234dwe is a fantastic budget multifunction laser printer for the masses. When you need to print or scan a document it’s very convenient to have the ability to do it at home and not have to find a place to print your documents, so that’s why I’ve always opted to have a printer around, even if seldom used. This HP LaserJet has a scanner built into it, ethernet and wireless connectivity and it comes in a tiny package that doesn’t take up much more room than an inkjet printer. The advantages of this being a laser printer are numerous. Your prints come out without any smearing, instantly and toner lasts much longer than ink, especially when not being used. Toner doesn’t just dry up as many inkjet cartridges do. The only disadvantage to this HP LaserJet is that it’s limited to black and white printing. This wasn’t a concern for me as if I want to print out photos I’d go somewhere else to have them printed. The setup process for this printer was a bit different as I ended up doing most of it on my phone through the HP Smart app. The instructions were easy to follow and the app guides you through everything. You also end up getting 6 months of free toner, which really means signing up for HP’s toner replacement program which monitors your usage and bills you for the toner they send out. As a matter of fact I already received notification that a new toner cartridge is on the way. Their pricing model seems fair and let’s you adjust it to suit your printing needs. We don’t print a lot at home, but it’s nice to have the option to be billed on a monthly basis instead of spending a lot at one time for a replacement toner. You always have the option of not enrolling in the program and just buying your toner the old school way as well, so don’t let that deter you. Printing is pretty straight forward. Windows 10 will detect the HP LaserJet M243 once it’s on the network and install the HP Smart app for you. It’s really a no brainer, unless you want to scan wirelessly as well. This does require you to sign up for an HP account as the scanning actually takes place in the cloud and not locally. You also have the option to be able to print from anywhere, which may be convenient for some and works well, but I turned off this feature. Scanning worked well and I didn’t notice anything different than when I was scanning locally on a separate scanner that I owned. So here’s the breakdown of the pros and cons of the HP LaserJet M234dwe. Pros: Small footprint Easy setup Prints most documents instantly Easy to use HP+ Toner program might entice some users (6 months free toner) Scanning was crisp and clear Printing was clear and sharp Cons: HP+ program may discourage others who may not realize they don’t need to enroll Scanning wireless is a little different and requires an HP account Overall I really liked the ease of use, setup and quality of this HP LaserJet M234dwe. I really wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this to anyone looking for a capable laser printer for a home or small office.

Simple, easy set up and smooth operation; Blah, blah, blah

Like the looks of printer. The install procedure turned out to be a stressful operation. Finally got it working but HP Phone Support Suggested I return the printer.

So far so good. HP123 driver setup and download did not work,surprised?Nope. Had to use the Windows 7 pro driver to get it to work. HP support is a virtual bot that really sucks and is of no use at all.

Great printer, works well.. double sided is a plus

Ok printer…good price if you just want the basics. Didn’t like the open paper tray, wanted a drawer.

After unboxing was very happy with the printer as it would work like a normal printer. On the next day, the printer blocked all attempts to print and enforced the installation of an app on all computers. I had to create an account and enroll in HP+. I should have paid more attention to the fine print.

I did not ask for the HP+ option and this was specified on my purchase receipt. In thje setup of my printer using HP Smart the HP+ option was rejected. So please note this and don't send me anything according to the HP+ promises. And don't charge me for anything like this -- I will simply ignore them. So don't harrass me about supposedly requesting HP+.

Just recently had it installed in my home office. I was immediately impressed when I made a copy. It was soooo quiet.
