Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Having spent most of my adult life working at law firms, I’ve got a lot of experience with HP laser printers. I’ve always wanted to duplicate the experience at home but most laser printers are pretty expensive and cost more than I’d want to spend for casual print jobs at home. The HP M29w is the perfect solution. Its smaller than most ink jet printers so it doesn’t require a lot of space, it doesn’t cost much more than a good quality ink jet printer and the cartridge replacements aren’t excessively expensive (at the time of my review, a replacement cartridge for this printer was around $50 for approx 1,000 pages of printing). It prints quickly and quietly without all the gear warmup that you encounter with ink jet printers. Setup was simple. I didn’t even need a computer. I just removed the printer from the box, opened it up and removed the protective strips from cartridge and plugged it in. I already own a HP printer, so I had the app downloaded on my iPad, so all I had to do was open the app, click Add Printer, locate the printer in my wi-fi settings and in <5 min I was ready to print. The paper feeds quickly and it produced a professional looking document in seconds. My only complaint about it is that the paper feeder is a little too flat. I wish it was raised up a bit more than it does. It also has scanning and copying capabilities. Copying is simple with one touch, and you use the app to scan documents and photos directly to your device. Its everything I want in a home printer. If you work from home or have a school aged child who needs to print off reports and homework or are just looking for a dependable printer that produces high quality documents, I definitely recommend this HP laser jet printer for your needs.
