I've had this 2-3 weeks and so far it's been a great purchase. It has all the features I was looking for - scans, dual sided printing, prints envelopes. Very satisfied.
This muti-trick monochome LaserJet replaced a 25-year-old LaserJet 4000 that WOULD. NOT. DIE. (That particular printer had replaced a 300ppi HP IIIP which was ALSO retired while still perfectly functional.) Finally we just had to weigh what a quality-of-life improvement a USB/network multitasker with wireless capability would be and took the plunge ... spending a fraction of what those earlier printers had cost. And of course it was a breeze to set up -- as it happens, I set most devices up online but, just to experiment, used the full CD procedure to set up on an older desktop. Interestingly, the apps installed were the ultimately same in function but slightly different in the two setups. But everything, and I cannot stress the importance of this enough, Just ... works. The print quality is beautiful, the duplex printing is fast and seamless and the copy quality is good enough to also retire a small C_n_n portable copier we had also relied on for years. Even the somewhat maligned scanner works well enough for forms and documents, and the interfaces, both the CD and online-installed versions, are really easy to work with. So I guess this is the trade-off I can live with -- yeah, it's the dystopian future already and I never got the jet-pack I was promised ... but laserprinters are SO much better and cheaper now. So that's something, right?
Very nice modern upgrade to my multi-function HP Printer that was tired after 11 solid years of use. This has great wireless features and it’s very own Email address so clients can send data directly to the printer. A very nice feature
Sometimes it just doesn’t print. Shows it’s o line but laptop says it’s not available. Other times when it is available I just get an error message. Finally printing takes a long time and laptop is right next to the printer
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi there.
I'm sorry to hear that your printer isn’t working like it should. I can understand how that would be pretty alarming. Because we aim to make reliable printers for our customers, I’ll point you toward some resources that I hope will help.
I recommend that you contact us directly at +1 800-474-6836 so we can guide you through the proper troubleshooting. 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)
I'll also mention that HP printers have a one-year warranty from their purchase date that covers hardware as well as ink supplies, so you might consider making use of it. You can verify the warranty using the following link: support.hp.com/us-en/checkwarranty
I bought the HP LaserJet Pro MFP M227fdw about a week ago and I love everything about it. I needed it for my home office and I needed something quick that can get the job done. It prints, scans, faxes quickly. I set up the wifi bluetooth so I can print documents straight from my phone. I love that part.
Still haven't figured out how to scan multiple pages of a document. My old scanner gave me a choice of more pages this one has no such feature. Had I known it was this difficult I would have looked for another unit. Also can't find out how to keep the phone line plugged in without losing the same phone line for calling. My previous unit a 7600 had the phone line plugged in all the time and it would automatically let a fax go through without a problem. I still can't get the fax to work.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
