Great Printer Addition
on June 21, 2019
Posted by: IFGA
from Roswell, GA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this printer in exchange for my unbiased review. Many, many years ago I had an HP black and white laser printer which I used until I could no longer update the driver. I was thrilled when I received the opportunity for the HP MFP 179fnw Color Laser Printer. I received the printer, unpacked it and thought wow the printer has a small foot print, nice. Set up was not difficult, I had to dig a little to figure out the set up instructions because I needed to go online. I am a bit old fashion regarding set up instructions and manuals I prefer everything to be in the box and in printed form. I understand in todays world this is not the preferred method for most users. Once I had the printer set up and connected wirelessly, which was easy to do, I was printing away. After printing several items I realized how clean and crisp laser printer items were and that I had missed that aspect. The colors are vibrant and really stand out. Printing is quick. It is very easy to copy and or scan pages. The document feeder works smoothly and gets the job done. I have really enjoyed using this printer. It has made my day to day work go more smoothly. I have recommended this printer to both my neighbor and my sister.
I would recommend this to a friend!

A Fast and Powerful Little Machine!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was looking for a laser printer that would be within our budget, a good size for our small office, and most importantly, fast and effective. This machine meets all of those requirements and is a total powerhouse! The easiest set up out of the box I have ever seen, and I was able to start copying almost immediately. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, and no setup was required. The speed of this machine blew me away. Unlike other printers I`ve had, I was able to make multiple color copies within minutes, and the image is crisp and clear. No issues with using the machine or connecting to wifi, and I was impressed with how sturdy and compact it is. I will be using this printer for printing materials for tutoring, as well as printing items to use with my craft and shirt making business. I am so happy with this product, the only suggestion I would make is offering it in black as the white tends to stick out, but that`s strictly a personal appearance preference. Otherwise, I have zero complaints about this printer, it works perfectly!
I would recommend this to a friend!

HP Small business printer
on June 20, 2019
Posted by: DESKTOPBE00PCF
from DARIEN, IL
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This business printer is medium duty, small to midsize businesses.This printer wakes up quickly and prints pretty rapidly when prompted. It has a fax machine built in as well as a scanner. The fax works like standard fax and the scan option is wonderful- get your emails out quicker and easier. This 3 in 1 machine is ideal for small to midsize businesses that are looking for a multi-function machine. The keys are easily read and the display is big enough that you can read it but it doesn`t take up much room. It is pretty quiet when operating, so taking phone calls while printing is not an issue.I recommend this printer to every small to midsize business looking for a multi-functional machine. This printer can get the job completed.

HP App game-changer!
on June 20, 2019

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product in exchange for my unbiased opinion.The setup of the printer was surprisingly easy. The instructions were clear and easy to follow. It took me a total of 12 minutes to open and remove all packing from the product and get it up and running. I connected it to my Wi-Fi quickly through the provided USB link. I work from home and tend to move my laptop to different rooms, even outside sometimes, so it is very convenient to be able to print from different areas in and around the house. I had purchased a new printer a few months ago and the setup was much more tedious, and the Wi-Fi connection took numerous tries. I was pleasantly surprised how quickly I was able to connect with this printer. What I loved best about the printer: With this printer, I was able to download the HP Smart App, which allows me to take photos of items and then print them from my phone. This is much more efficient than the process I was using: taking a photo with my phone, emailing myself the photo from my phone or uploading to Dropbox, then printing the photo from my computer. My daughter has special needs and communicates solely using a picture system. As you can imagine, I am constantly snapping new pictures to add to her Communication Board. This has significantly decreased the amount of time I need to spend setting up her new pictures. The print quality is good and like other comparable printers that I`ve used. And I can scan and print from all areas of my home using my phone. I really appreciate the capability to do all this remotely. For me, it`s a game-changer!What I disliked about the printer: The main negative to this printer is the size it is big and quite heavy. I have a very small home-office area and would not typically purchase such a big printer due to space constraints. My overall impression: This printer is similar to one I recently purchased but the HP Smart App really takes it to another level. Though the size is a drawback in a small space, the more efficient functionality more than makes up for it.

A comprehensive printer from a trusted brand
on June 18, 2019
Posted by: sperreno
from New Milford, CT
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] FIRST IMPRESSION: This printer is not for a small space. It is a full size unit with all of the core functions of a high-grade printer. It has a professional unit appearance and appears to be able to accommodate large jobs.START UP: It was a very easy process to get the printer up and running. I was quickly able to connect it to my WiFi and then my laptops.GENERAL FEEDBACK: The printer produces high quality output,provides quick and easy set up, and smooth paper feeding (we have had no jams as of this report). The paper tray, once loaded, does not sit flush to the unit making the robust footprint even larger.PROBLEMS: My only major complaint with the printer is it`s size and weight. It is not in any way meant for a small space and takes up quite a large footprint.
