This printer came in Monday and we still can't get it to print reliably on any of our three printers. Also, it really sucks that HP DEMANDS that you sign up for a HP cloud account that you don't need in order to use this, which is probably why it isn't working right. Really disappointing and ready to send this back. We just need a printer, not a cloud computing lesson. And just in case you're wondering what kind of doofus can't get this working, I have a BSEE from the University of Illinois with a computer minor and have built my own computers from scratch, so....
Hard to setup AirPrint without a hard wired connection. Also when you send a job to the printer when it’s in sleep mode, the printer does not automatically wake up. You have to manually do that every time to make sure it prints.
Customer support was outstanding. Im 77 years old and not technically trained. The human who walked me through the set-up was patient and explicit. Much appreciated
Purchased this product, no installation instructions, HP in the past had a easy to follow step by step guide. That is not the case now, printer still is not hooked up, have tp go to geek squad to help. This has me convinced I will NOT be using HP there ae other companies I WILL use.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi, Frank.
I’m sorry to hear that your printer would not complete the process of setup and connection. I can understand why that would be a frustrating start to owning a printer, especially considering the lack of instructional materials you describe, so I’ll offer some resources and information I hope will help.
First, you can access a setup tutorial as well as user manuals, troubleshooting guides, how-to documents and software updates for your printer on our support site. Do that by following this link: - support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-laserjet-pro-mfp-m227-series/9365384/model/9365386
You can also visit a page on our support site that has diagnostic tools for various tasks and issues, including setup and connectivity. You can find the page here: - support.hp.com/us-en/topic/diagnostics
If you need further setup assistance, I recommend that you contact us directly at +1 800-474-6836 so we can help you assess the situation and guide you through any applicable troubleshooting. (Please note that because of restrictions on personal movement and workplace attendance associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, wait times for agents are longer than normal. Thanks in advance for your understanding.) To expedite the process, I recommend gathering the following information before the call:
- Model number - Serial number - Your location - Case number (from any previous contact with HP support)
