HP LaserJet Pro MFP M28a Multi-Function Printer, White

Had this printer for 3 years and it is still going strong.It's a great, compact size so doesn't take up too much space on the desk. Printing quality is high, and it does the job quickly and quietly. Ink seems to last ages which is a great bonus. Never had any issues with jams or dodgy prints. Think the info leaflet suggests one cartridge lasts 1000 pages and that does seem true. Official toner replacements cost about £40 or you can buy alternatives for about half that.It is very easy to use - can either connect via a cable or wirelessly. Quick set-up and I have successfully printed from my phone as well as hard-wired to the pc.All in all this has been a great buy. It has worked seamlessly for a number of years, with weekly use. Would not hesitate to recommend or buy again.

Bought to replace old multi function inkjet that had seldom use and print head finally nackered.Laser is the way forward for home printing if mostly documents and tickets being printed - toner won't give you all the headaches of ink and will always be ready to go. "cannot print b&w doc without magenta" (&@!!*@£)!Delivered in sturdy box with no damage - few tapes to remove and toner cartridge to reinsert no problem.Printer itself is very neat and fits well on a shelf requiring only a power cable. Paper input tray maybe a bit flimsy but time will tell.Setting up WiFi was a bit hit and miss - you can use WPS which probably most straightforward but my router doesn't support!! I tried with Android HP smart app to no avail despite connecting to the printer's own WiFi direct network - simply hung and kept timing out when using the app.Used Win 10 laptop add printer menu which found the WiFi direct printer then somehow added my WiFi login to the printer adding it to the network through some witchcraft. Also benefit of no need to download and install the HP crapware. Could have also used a USB cable which is included.Following this fairly quick setup I had a test page printed from PC and mobile also picking up no problem. Decent quality for text, so so on gray-scale graphics but you're not buying this to print images. PC driver usefully lets you manually print double sided and prompts with instruction - works flawlessly and beats a full on auto duplex printer for space saving when only using seldom (only bug bear is can't use this functionality when printing from a mobile).Toner (1000 pages) reasonably priced around £40-50 on Amazon or cheaper if using an off brand product. Toner cartridges include the imaging drum which suits as no other consumables to think about. The printer won't stop printing just because it thinks the toner is low - you have to option to continue until the quality is no longer acceptable.Overall a good price for a tiny LaserJet that connects well to all devices and accessible for the entire household with little friction.Would 100% recommend this for people only needing b&w docs printed, don't mind lack of auto duplex and don't want something taking up an entire desk/shelf.

Positives:This printer takes up very little space on your desk. Closed up, it has a footprint of c. 35cm wide x 19cm deep, which is very small. In practice, though, when loaded with paper (which sticks out the front), you need more like 35cm from front to back.The print quality isn't amazing, but is more than good enough for every day basic business and home use. And it's fast enough for this purpose as well (it warms up and spits out a page in a matter of seconds).I've not tried to print anything with images (though I would expect that as it only has a 600x600 resolution, it probably isn't going to be great), but text is clear and black enough for everyday useage.It's a laser printer, so there isn't going to be a problem with not using it for long periods. There are no printer heads or cartridges to dry out. And running costs per page will be much lower than a inkjet printer (especially if you use third party toner - of which there are plenty of suppliers).Initial setup on a Windows machine using the HP East Start tool was very simple. It found the printer successfully and linked it straight onto my home network without any interventions from me.It can do Google Cloud printing once you have set it up from the advanced settings.Negatives:Although it can print in duplex, this requires manual intervention (i.e. printing one side, turning the page over, and reinserting). Really, though, you can't expect automatic duplexing at this price so this isn't a surprise.You can't turn the speed down to get better quality. And there is no way of changing any quality settings at all (e.g. saving toner, etc).Although initial set up was simple, it is been a bit of a mess in connecting our other laptops / phones to it. Windows (an the HP Smat app) haven't always found it automatically. On some machines I have had to point the computer at the printer's specific IP address in order to connect. This has surprised me as I would have thought that it would be quick and simple to hook up more machines. Nevertheless, once connected all our Windows laptops and Android phones can print to it wirelessly.Conclusions:This is by no means an all singing and all dancing printer. It has pretty basic functionality, but once you have got over the hurdle of connecting all your machines to it, it gives you all the basics you need for everyday printing.But given the low price (c. £85 normally - I got mine as a warehouse deal for £69) it gives everything that you can realistically expect at this price, and is excellent value for money. If you really need other features (e.g. duplexing, multiple paper trays, scanning, etc) you should look elsewhere and expect to pay more.

Printer arrived today and was really easy to set up. I was a bit concerned after reading other reviews but I had no issues.I’m running a MacBook Pro 2019 on Big Sur and an iPhone. I installed the HP app on my phone using the QR code and it took under 5 minutes to fully install it. The app then provided a link for my laptop and again, under 5 minutes for a full installation. I had no need to use a USB or even to do a WPS connection from the router.The print quality is as you would expect, very clear and decent quality. The prints come out quickly and no issues with WiFi.The printer is really small, much smaller than I was expecting and fits easily on a bookshelf.I rarely leave reviews but this is a cracking printer for the money and I haven’t encountered any of the issues other reviewers have.
