Double sided printing not compatible with Mac

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 20 December 2022

Great size, super easy to set up. But then when I wanted to print double sided, it just didn't give me the option. 2 hours on the phone to HP, the technician was very patient but did eventually say HP don't really support Mac users and he recommended I wther buy a windows PC or chose a different brand. Which I have since done. The box lies when it says it can do duplex. The guy at HP also said that this model is very old and they no longer provide support or updates for it. He recommended that the user's for this are quite niche now. So if you have a Mac, a Chromebook or an android, or apple phone you won't be able to print double sided in colour. You can print double sided in black and white

A decent basic laser printer for the price

The pictures that accompany this review are from a standard print of a RAW photograph from a Nikon D7500 on plain budget A4. I then zoom in to show what the pixel density is like. Bear in mind that Amazon reduce quality of images to save server space. The photograph when printed is quite good
I needed a printer for occasional use and had to have a small footprint. This one ticked the right boxes for me. I didn’t want an ink jet as I would have had issues with the cartridges drying up and going to waste so the laser jet was an ideal choice and thankfully this one isn’t some desk monster. Being wireless I was able to put it onto a shelf in my study and it doesn’t get in the way. It can hold a few hundred sheets of paper and the print quality is pretty good for what it is. I have printed out photographs on A4 standard paper and they are quite clean and crisp. It doesn’t look like it will take anything less than A4, but I haven’t looked that much into it as I only need A4 prints.

It initially I thought this was a simple cube, but you have to partially pull the paper tray out and this stays permanently stuck out. The wireless set up was a bit of a drag, not due to the printer but due to BT home hub. For some reason when I used the WPS button, my router was reset to a strange SSID and a password that was neither mine nor default. When I looked into it I found that it is a known issue with some BT hubs. I had to do a hard factory reset of the router. Once I was back up and running, I used the WPS option from within the web portal and I was connected. I haven’t used the HP software suite as quite frankly I don’t need it. Apparently, you can scan and print from their App, but I could do that with the default software on my phone which makes me think that it is a marketing con to make it look like the printer is also a scanner, which it isn’t. From Windows, I just use the native print options from within the package I am using. PDFs may need to be resized to fit page in the print options as they look like pictures to the printer and may be cut off on the edges.

Bottom line: for a laser jet it is small, reasonably priced, has good basic functions and an acceptable plain paper print quality.

EDIT. Paper tray can be closed back into the printer, but only when the tray is empty.
Also check consumable prices. Original parts are very expensive. Lack of 3rd party supplies, but they are sure to follow

Solid printer from a respected brand

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 11 April 2020

I was expecting a light box but this is quite a heavy beast which I will take as re-assuring. It’s important to note that once you expand the paper tray and put (A4) paper in, it sticks out a few cm from the base as per the bottom amazon photo. Do not be a fool and try and ram it in like er…my friend did. When I connected it to my new Windows 10 PC it soon showed in my printer list but would not work until I ran a setup file from the HP site. Bit disappointing in these days of plug and play but there you go.

You power on by the rather fragile feeling touch pad on top and it fafs about and whirs a bit before going online. Here’s the good bit though, once warmed up the printing is fast and the pickup and output very smooth. The print quality is excellent too for a printer of this price, very clean and sharp but note I have only tested it on text (black and colour) as I didn’t buy it to print photos. The wi-fi feature is clunky and hard work (as are most wi-fi printers in my experience) but I have no plans to use that regularly. As a home office printer connected directly to a PC via the USB cable it does the job well.

So far so good, it is night and day compared to my flaky inkjet and with full fat toners (which will probably last me months) included as standard, represents good value for money from a top printer brand. I know a bit about HP printers as I used to service them back in the day and apart from the slightly concerning touch pad, this feels built to last. Keep an eye on the price, you should be able to get it for the £130 I paid for it and it will do an excellent job as a home/ small office printer. It's time to dump that slow inkjet and expensive cartridges for good, you won't regret it.

Good printer, not easiest to use and gets through ink quickly

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 7 December 2022

Like some of the other reviewers already mentioned this printer is really tricky to connect to wifi. Was close to giving up and finally managed to get the app set up with the printer. Once installed it did the job. Takes quite a time for the printer to start printing especially when printing several individual pages. At one point I had 36 pages in the queue (three page documents). The ink states average 1000 pages however mine ran out of just over 400 pages. Very expensive to replace the ink.

Works on Apple Macs, Macbook OS etc

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 8 December 2021

Having read some reviews on here I was nervous about buying this printer to use with a Macbook, I shouldn't have worried. I had this printer connected to my network and printing via my MacBook and my iPhone within 10 minutes.
I have very limited IT skills , and this is my first wifi printer so it was all new to me.

Luckily a clever Mac user (unbelievabledave) had already posted how to get the printer set up, so I followed their instructions and it was very straight forward..

1. Plug the Printer into your mac via the supplied USB cable - Go to 'System Preferences'.
2. Click on 'Printers & Scanners'.
3. Select your HP Printer.
4. Click on 'Options & Supplies'.
5. Under the 'General' Tab, click 'Show Printer Webpage...' this will open the HP systems webpage.
6. Here you will see all the available options but you will not be able to edit them until you log in with ID: admin (leave the password field blank)
7. Once logged in, go to Setting / Network Settings - Wifi - ‘Easy Wi-Fi Settings’ and hit the Wizard button.
8. Select your Wifi network and then enter your ‘WPA Shared Key’ (Wifi Key or Password), then ‘Confirm Network Key’ (enter Wifi Key or Password again) 9. Connection Status should now show as ‘Connected’ and it should show your network name.
10. You should then be able to see the wifi printer as an option when you try to print a document (Ctrl P)

Good luck all.

Great printer, not great Mac support

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 5 May 2020

Verified Purchase

Great looking printer, although once you've inserted paper into it, the paper tray juts out by 10cms, rather ruining the effort put into the overall design.

Having done some research and finding that this printer works with Macs I made the purchase. Receiving the printer, the paperwork only mentions Windows. Online, the website states that the printer's not compatible with my OS. Having seen that someone mentioned airprint in the reviews, I went to System Preferences/Printers & Scanners and added it there.

Adding the app to my phone I assumed I would be able to change the printer settings however, they are nowhere to be found. I tried searching for connecting to the printer via a browser using 192.1.etc and again nothing. In the end I stumbled accross something that worked, so:

FOR MAC USERS WHO WANT TO CHANGE THE PRINTER'S SETTINGS

1. Go to 'System Preferences'.
2. Click on 'Printers & Scanners'.
3. Select your HP Printer.
4. Click on 'Options & Supplies'.
5. Under the 'General' Tab, click 'Show Printer Webpage...'
6. Here you will see all the available options but you will not be able to edit them until you log in with ID:admin and leave the password field blank.

Great printer, terrible printed and online Mac support. Hence the loss of 1 star.

Well done - HP

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 23 June 2021

HP I always think of as making stuffy heavy duty office gear. However I previously bought the "15" model black and white printer and was amazed at the good value and the small footprint [ in a bookcase at home]. This colour-job seemed the obvious successor. Well - it is, but not, in my limited experience, quite as successful. Its a bit bigger obviously. And takes its time over printing - paticularly from pressing "print" to the first page coming out. Photographs I have not yet fully resolved. Adequate as-far-as on standard matt paper. But the usual commercial Laser Gloss photo paper tends to be heavy and so far the ones I have tried refuse to go through the machine - even if within the specified weight. The good thing about that is that they tend to stop at entry [ easy to rescue], and not get stuck somewhere in the works. More study needed?

I had tried to connect this printer many times but failed. It took me more than 2 weeks to do. I deleted the apps and downloaded it again and even checked with YouTube. I am still figuring out what to do and connect my computer with this rubbish. Apps couldn’t detect the signal
