Great printer for my remote work and excellent value

Solid wireless network printer. A good option for home or small business.

Works fine. Not easy to set up. The scanner only does tif files and not pdf files.

I dont know exactly what I was thinking when i purchased this, but it's just okay. Wish it were faster on the scans

This HP LaserJet all in one device makes printing, scanning, and copying seamless and easy. The print speed is blazingly fast. I especially noticed the speed for double sided print jobs. I have never seen a printer in this price range that can print as fast. The print speed is rated at up to 30 pages per minute. Setup was simple and consisted of plugging it in, connecting to Wi-Fi network, and downloading the App. Creating an account and using the App is required to use the printer. The ink subscription plan is not required, but using manufacturer toner is required.: Once connected, wireless printing is as easy as pushing a button from my laptop or wireless device. I was able to print from my iPhone as well as my Chromebook and Windows devices. It is really that easy and convenient! Since this printer is wireless, placement is not limited to being near the sending device. This printer can be placed anywhere that can accommodate it that is near a power outlet. The footprint is large and it weighs about 20 pounds, so proper product placement is necessary.. The print quality is excellent and is far superior to the average inkjet. It does not take long for power on and print when it is in sleep mode. The 150 sheet tray capacity makes large print jobs fast and easy. It is capable of printing on a variety of paper types. The supported paper sizes are plain, envelopes, rough, bond, label, cardstock, and postcards The copy function works well and is also quite fast. Most people don't need to make copies as much anymore, but it is very nice to have the capability. The flatbed design is ideal for copying and scanning. I scan documents frequently and found the function to be quite capable. Scan quality is scalable by quality. It is capable of high resolution color scans that look identical to the original. The top scanner resolution is 6000 x 1200. I don't need to print in color, so I prefer to use a laser printer rather than an inkjet printer Laser toner powder will not dry out, and the page for page cost is cheaper than inkjet cartridges. The cartridge is rated at printing approximately 1100 pages.

I don’t understand who writes the positive reviews about this poor-quality printer. HP seems to have adopted a model of selling devices that last less than a year before breaking, along with overpriced ink cartridges. Great job, HP!

Goes off line constantly! My old HP printer has no problem staying on line.

Overall The HP LaserJet MFP M234sdw is an amazing printer. It's large, but it fits neatly into a corner with its near-square footprint. With a general, clean aesthetic for just about any home or office. Packed full of features from your typical print/scan/copy, auto document feeder, duplex printing, cloud printing, and companion app printing. It offers solid document print quality. Pricing on replacement toner cartridges is reasonable and makes for a far cheaper option over inkjet-based printers. I just can't get behind the, mostly odd, placement of the touch controls. They sit on top of the cassette paper tray cover and feel out of place. Setup These are mostly straight-forward and simple processes if there's no hiccup. That's because you need the "HP Smart App" as there's no option to input a WiFi account on the printer's screen. The app uses Bluetooth to connect to the printer, which doesn't always work out. It took two different phones to get this initial pairing, and I have no real idea why. I can only assume that if the apps are compatible with the phone, the compatibility between all three should be okay. Functionality This has impressive speed. Load the adf with a stack of documents and get another stack in minutes. The two-sided printing is incredibly fast—the fastest I've seen in a while. If you need a document you saved on your cloud storage, using the "HP Smart App", you can easily send it for printing to the printer. This has fantastic value for offices with high productivity needs. If there's anything to dislike, it is again the input interface, where only select keys are lit up while the main screen is monochrome with no lighting. It's likely out of scope, but you won't be doing any copying or printing in a dark room. Overall, outside of the quirks, this is a fantastic, speedy machine. It can handle larger workloads easily and efficiently, with various options to tackle them. While the build quality is great, I do find the display questionable. This is worth 4-stars.

The specs are deceptive this does not have auto 2 sided printing. It prints one side and then you remove the paper and put it back into the feed tray for it to print on the other side. I do a lot of 2 sided printing and this is not auto 2 sided printing. It was also difficult to set up the wi-fi watch out if you have two wi-fi connections you have to make sure your computer or device is on the same network connection or it won't work.

This is a no-frills printer with scan and copy functions. I think this is a really nice budget laser printer which gives you all the functions of pro printers from 10 years ago for under $300. You get duplex print, duplex scan, flatbed scan, and copy and you can get your first page out in less than 10 seconds. Impressive! Now, this is a budget printer from 2023. If you currently have a multifunction laser printer, there are a few things you need to know. This printer has a VERY small and BASIC display and button layout. There’s no LCD so you have to perform most functions from the driver or your HP Smart app. It’s kind of annoying if you are used to having full functions from a screen on the printer. This includes setup, settings, customization, and error notification. If you are just using this as a basic printer, you’ll be fine. Another limitation is that this has a 150 sheet tray. It’s fairly common for 15 years ago, but pretty skinny today. There’s also no way to add another tray level with this printer, so that’ll be the most you’ll ever be able to load. Be aware of this if you are planning on printing fairly high volumes. There are two different cartridges you can get, the standard 134A for 1100 sheets and the 134X for 2400 sheets. In the box you get a starter cartridge that only has 700 sheets of toner in it. I highly recommend HP printers and this one is easy to recommend because of its no frills price but good value feature set. If you need more printer, it’s not much more to spend for a Neverstop or higher Laserjet model, but if you only print a few docs or don’t need color, this is a solid pick.

Very difficult to connect to WIFI then each time I go to use it have problems connecting. Have not yet been able to get unit to scan Print quality is great

The HP LaserJet M234sdw printer/scanner/copier has a small footprint, but plenty of features needed for today’s small business/home office. This printer has all the standard HP features with duplexing (automated double-sided printing) and wireless connectivity. The printer has a monthly duty cycle of 20,000 pages, which is a lot for a small business / home office. Being a laser printer, you can get up to 30 pages per minute and about 1000 pages per toner cartridge. The paper input tray holds up to 150 sheets. As with most HP printers, this LaserJet also comes with an option for Instant Ink. Setup was easily completed via the enclosed instructions. Utilizing the HP Smart App to set up the Wi-Fi was a breeze, and it was running in no time. Using the automatic document feeder for scanning was a bit trying but worked. I could only get it to scan to the computer via the HP Smart App. The ADF holds 40 sheets and worked flawlessly. Copying is just as good you get quick results with a high-quality copy. The quality of a laser printed page is as sharp and crisp as other HP laser printers.

I use nothing but HP and this one is slow and not user friendly-

I bought a brand new HP computer today as well as this printer. And the printer will not sync up with a computer at all. The instructions are useless. The online instructions are absolutely worthless. Returning the printer to Best Buy very disappointed.

This is a very hard printer to install. I was on the phone with HP 4-5 ,times trying to get this printer installed . It just didn't want to connect. Almost took it.ba k to Besr Buy.

Printer has been giving me issues from day one, does not print, need to go through the hoops to make it print

This HP model will not work without downloading an App and figuring out how to connect it to WiFi before starting to even set it up. After 3 hrs, it’s still not working. I plan to return it.

Difficulty connecting to your phone, problem with wifi functionality

Summary -------- Great device, with Scanner, copier and printer in one. The only downside is the not having the document feeder, not a deal breaker if you dont have a lot of documents to scan. The ink lasts long. Overall a good buy Pros ---- 1. Easy to install and work with 2. Fast and quick printing cons ----- 1. smaller LCD 2. No document feeder for copying/scanning Setup ----- you will need to download the HP Smart App to setup this printer and connect to Wi-Fi. Just follow the prompts on the HP smart app. Once, setup and online you will be able to connect any PC on the same network and discover this printer to be able to print remotely. The good part about this printer, is that this not the + version which ends in "e' , so you are free to use any replacement printer cartridge which is not made by HP operation -------- Once setup, its just pretty straight forward just like any other printer. The printer supports 2 sided printing AND it is also dual band which is need because in my house, the printer sits a bit far away from the router. The printer has a paper cartridge and it can load upto 150 pages. The printer is also capable of printing 30 pages per minute which is fast! The scanning and copying can be done remotely as well. Supports major cloud service providers such as google cloud and drobox to upload scanned document. I think this is a great printer for the money and a true all-in-one.
