The HP LaserJet Pro P1102w is a basic monochrome laser printer with a few surprises, namely better-than-expected speed and Wi-Fi. Unfortunately, its pricey toner offsets its very affordable purchase price.

Wi-Fi connectivity; good speed

Expensive toner

One of the recent technologies to infiltrate the printer market is wireless. Where a Wi-Fi connection used to be included only on a limited number of models in a range and then in the more expensive, premium products, it's now becoming increasingly ubiquitous.

HP had a special event a few weeks ago to launch, among other things, a new range of printers that feature what it calls HP Smart Install – plug one in via USB, and it automatically uploads its drivers to your computer, installs itself and is ready to go within minutes. Great, right?

Wireless printing; auto-off/auto-on; good print quality

Smart Install doesn't work on Macs; wireless instructions aren't provided for Macs

The HP LaserJet Pro P1102w ($149 direct) touches all the right bases for a personal monochrome laser. It's small and light, it's fast, and it delivers reasonably high-quality output across the board.

Small; Low cost; Fast; WiFi included; Reasonably high-quality output for mono laser printer

Low paper capacity; High cost per page; Manual duplex only

Review HP's entry-level laser is available with and without a wireless connection. The LaserJet P1102w has one and the asking price reflects this. This is another extended bread loaf-shaped printer, with the main feed tray folding down from the front panel.

A small wireless laser printer that cannot annoy the lounge police as it can sit in a cupboard of behind the sofa and once you have connected it to a recent PC by a USB lead everything is done automatically no need even to insert a CD.

Overall a great printer, and serve basic household needs. Manual duplex is no hassle, so can live without it.

+ Wireless feature + Basic toner last quite a while + Energy saving feature + Price

- No iOS support - Toner replacement might be costly - No duplex support only manual

Good for office use & home use specially for small business. can be use compatible and refill toners too......

I've never written a review before. Everything I purchase online which is almost everything seems to work just fine and I'm satisfied. I'm pretty decent with my pc and tech and this printer has made me curse and swear more than anything I've ever owned.

Nothing

-erratic printing wirelessly despite numerous reinstall attampts
