Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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.

Unboxing the printer was standard. I needed to lift the printer out in the Styrofoam packaging to get it out of the box. Then your typical setup of removing plastic tape that held certain components during shipping. The only issue I had was the sticker on the front of the printer advertising 2 free months of ink with their monthly service. It took me 25 minutes to fully take it off as it was just coming off in little pieces. After turning it on I downloaded the HP Smart App. I had an account already. I just clicked add printer and this printer showed up. Then it prompted me for my wireless password and then the printer was connected. I printed through the mobile app and it went fast and the page was crisp and dark since it is a laser printer over ink based. I went to scan, and this is where having no display panel was odd. I had to use the HP app as my display panel to scan. It seemed like a lot of steps to scan 5 pages to my email address. I tested this again for work purposes the next day and when scanning 4 pages in color it failed to upload. Ultimately, I had to use the app to scan to my phone vs the printer to get it to go thru. There is a small display for copies, but it is limited to qty and double sided. While on that. The printer was fast printing double sided copies. This printer was one of the fastest home printers I have had in years. Shame it is only black and white and not color. There are multiple plans for the monthly printing subscription through HP and really the only way to go. You can skip this and purchase the toner cartridge, but the cost is $50 for 1100 pages so depends on how much you print per month. I just really miss the display panel as to scan it requires my phone and that is too much of a hassle.

Yes it can print. Very low quality material, feels cheap.

I have been using the HP Laser Jet M234sdw for about a week and half now and I do have to say I love it. Starting with setup: The setup was very easy following the directions. It didnt take long for me to get it out the box, read directions, and get it up and running. I love that this is wireless. It took seconds to get it connected to my wireless internet. I had no troubles at all with connectivity. We are a homeschooled family so daily i am constantly printing tons of worksheets for the kids to complete. What i love most about this printer is that it is a double sided printer that prints extremely fast. Having a double sided printer allows me to save not only money but paper as well as not having a cluster of papers because i can double side print. I love that i can automatically scan and print with ease in an effective manner and timely manner. With the app I can quickly use dropbox and google drive to print any saved worksheets or documents that i have. Overall this printer has been great for printing worksheets for the kids, documents for my small buisness, and scanning the kids schoolwork to save. Setup is a breeze, it is quick and efficient.

Not happy at all with this item, will not stay connected to the WiFi, maybe just got a lemon

Setting up the LaserJet M234sdw was a breeze. The printer comes with clear instructions, and the wireless setup through the HP Smart App was a seamless process. It quickly connected to my Wi-Fi network, and I was able to start printing from my computer and mobile devices in no time. This printer lives up to the "LaserJet" name. It prints lightning-fast and delivers crisp, clear black-and-white documents. I've printed both text-heavy documents and graphics, and the quality has been consistently outstanding. The wireless feature is so convenient. I can print from my mac, iphone, or ipad without needing to plug in or switch devices. The HP Smart app makes it easy to print from anywhere in my home. Additionally, it supports mobile printing services like Apple AirPrint and Google Cloud Print, which is very convenient. However, this convenience comes at a slight cost in that the controls on the printer itself are very limited. Scanning must be done completely through the HP Smart App. I would have preferred there be buttons on the printer itself to quickly scan a document. The printer has a 150-sheet input tray. I wish this could have been a bit larger, around 250 sheets to save time between putting more paper into the tray. In my short time using this printer, I haven't encountered any paper jams or printing issues. It's been incredibly reliable, even during long print jobs. The build quality feels solid, and it runs quietly, which is a big plus for a home office setup. One thing I appreciate about the LaserJet M234sdw is its eco-friendly features. It comes with an automatic power-off setting to save energy, and it's Energy Star certified, reducing its environmental impact. This is a great addition for those who are environmentally conscious. The HP LaserJet M234sdw Wireless Black-and-White Laser Printer has quickly become an essential part of my home office setup. Its reliability, speed, and wireless capabilities make it a top choice for anyone in need of high-quality black-and-white laser printing. Whether you're a student, a professional, or a small business owner, this printer is an excellent investment that will not disappoint. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient laser printer.

This printer has pretty much everything you need for a home office black and white laser. Fairly quick to setup. In all my years of dealing with printers, I don't think I've had an easier printer setup experience. Aside from starting the WPS setup on my router, I barely had to do anything. Historically with me, I usually ran into some issue with wifi printers not being setup properly initially. Once connected to my home wifi all my computers, phone and tablet were able to find it and begin printing to it without issues. Printing is fast, fairly quiet and it duplexes! Print quality for text is clean and sharp. Printing sending a print job from my cell phone is quick and it is usually already waiting for me in the output tray once I go upstairs to my home office. A replacement HP high yield toner will run about $85 at the time of this review. It's nice that I wasn't required to install or login/create an account to print, however an account does need to be created to use the scanner. Scanning speeds aren't going to beat out any dedicated document scanners, but I do appreciate having a flatbed scanner to be able to scan things that aren't completely flat or won't feed through this ADF. Scans are good quality. Scanning from the M234 FAR exceeds any cell phone scanning app. The M234 footprint is not much larger than the basic wifi duplexes Samsung printer it replaces. I like that I can reload the paper tray without having to remove the tray, but I would have like to seen a larger tray capacity. I put the M234 on a pedestal with a slot for the rest of the ream of paper. A printer isn't usually an item you care about until you need to print things and it won't work. Setup is easy, it works as it should, it prints well (on both sides if that's what you need) and it can scan your documents and receipts. The requirement to create an HP account and the smallish paper tray are my only major cons, but I already had an account and I also already had a printer pedestal with a place for extra paper so they were essentially non-issues for me. I would easily be able to recommend this printer to anyone looking for one.

One thing I have come to have discovered over the past few years is that HP makes some of the best printers. Hands down. This laserjet printer is yet the latest example of the excellence that I have come to expect from HP. This is the third HP laserjet I've had and while it may be relatively inexpensive it does not lack in speed, quality, and features. Print quality is well above average and the print speed is impressively fast. Like wicked fast. Scans, likewise, are equally impressive. Add to those two things that the only cable really needed is the power cable then you have a handy package print/scan/copy solution for your home office. Especially if space is at a premium. Physically this printer is smaller than most other laserjets in this price range. That's a win in my book. To print or scan you'll need to download an app from HP to your home computer (Windows or Mac), iPhone, iPad, or Android. Once installed it's simple matter of signing in to your HP account and pairing the printer. It's easy and painless. Once paired you can print or scan from that device. The one downside, and I can get past it myself due to the excellent quality of the printer, is that you must be signed in to print or scan. Over all this is another winner from HP.

Not that great.but is workable.May be better for some one who has less productivity than I do.

This is a very good performer with excellent and crisp output- the case is pretty flimsy, however, especially the paper tray and output flap. Setting it up was painful on two of three laptops with multiple attempts to load and reload the hp software, but I did manage finally. I did not realize it doesn’t automatically duplex- it prints on both sides, but copying on both is entirely manual, which is disappointing. HP’s website is almost useless in trying to determine whether a printer has such features, which is very frustrating. For the price and the excellent print quality, this is a good choice- but be ready for some headaches regarding setup and expect to be unimpressed with the flimsy paper tray. HP used to a much better job on case quality. Still, for the money, they got the print quality right. After a long string of HP inkjets starting in the early 90s, this is my first laser. I’m an infrequent printer and suffered many expensive dried up cartridges that had barely been used, so I hope laser is a better choice. Output is quick and warmup minimal, which is a vast improvement on the endless cleaning and self-servicing HP inkjets go through if you haven’t used them in a month. Once printing starts it’s surprisingly quick.

HP LaserJet M234sdw is a compact wireless black and white laser printer with a small footprint. The setup is quite easy and quick. Being a multifunction printer, it can print, scan and copy. The instructions included are easy to follow and get you going within minutes. The printer has an automatic document feeder and supports double sided printing. The flatbed scanner is handy to scan all kinds of documents. There is a small LCD display on the printer that indicates Wi-Fi connection status. The display also has a counter of number of copies. Additional buttons provide you with minimal controls of the printer. The tray can hold up to 150 sheets. Download HP Smart app to setup the printer, use remote printing or monitor your ink levels. If you have been using HP printers, you might be familiar with the app and its features. You can print wirelessly from any device on the network as well as via the USB cable, which you will need to purchase separately. The printer also supports Ethernet connection for a network printer setting. The included toner cartridge is supposed to last around 700 pages. But this printer does support HP Instant Ink subscription where you can have HP send you a new toner when the printer is running low on ink. This might be a huge convenience for small business owners. Overall, this is an awesome compact printer with quality printing for all home and small business needs.
