Color Laser MFP 179fwg Multifunction Colour Laser Printer, Print, Copy, Scan, Fax, Automatic Document Feed, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, USB, Smart App

This was a brand i was recommended by a friend as a low volume home office printer / scanner and i was very lucky to spot an offer on Amazon Prime day, the price was just fantastic and allowed me to grab a full set of additional toners and still be under the regular price so im really happy. It has the wireless print capability, it will connect to apple devices such as iphones, laptops are very easy to do as well, the unit has a simple control panel and a small display window, if you are fairly familiar with printers and basic tech, then this will just take 10-15 mins to get your printer connected to your wifi and the drivers loaded to your computer so that it will offer you all the services available. My printer has been connected via the supplied cable to a Mac Mini, sailed through with all the steps and the packaging. Excellent quality of printing, not the largest paper holding tray, but im okay with that. The print queue is easy to find if you are experiencing any print delays or issues, mine is left on all day and night in a home office and doesnt make any noises, so its all good. The scanner is easy enough to access and with this type of equipment, just making sure you know where the scans are being stored is helpful. I think it has fax facilities as well, but i have no requirement for that so it hasnt been set up or used. Overall the size is relative to what a laser printer can be today, i remember black and white ones when they first came out, two people to carry them and they were very big. This colour printer has a small enough footprint to be practical and not too large. I did check the measurements before i bought it to make sure it would fit in the space i had in mind. Overall, really good piece of kit and the consumables are not expensive either.

Great printer when I got it, but after less than 200 pages, my printouts we covered in streaky lines. I spent hours with HP support for all that was worth.

Just like the business printers in the office but much more compact. Print quality is excellent. The display is small but adequate. It works with the generic driver built into my old iMac with an obsolete operating system and there are drivers for all the operating systems supported by Apple®. There's no bottom to the casing under the paper tray so you do need to put this on a flat surface or you won't be able to slide the paper tray in easily and could damage it. The paper tray is probably the least robust component so I think some care is needed loading paper and sliding it in and out. Slightly odd that the paper tray, with it's clear plastic cover, just hangs 10cm, or so, out of the printer. Searched everywhere to set up duplex printing then noticed in the manual that I downloaded that it's only supported for Windows. There's no paper bypass feed to feed in thick card. Being a laser printer there's nothing to clog up if it's not used regularly which is why it should be great for me.

I am on the fence with this one. I bought this as a replacement printer for my broken laser printer. I did actually buy an inkjet with a high printing resolution, and whilst that is good, the quality does not match that of a laser on matt paper. So, I decided to buy this one instead, especially as it says it does automatic double sided (duplex) printing, which is a function I use all the time. Unfortunately, the description was misleading: this DOES NOT do automatic duplex printing - you have to manually re-insert the paper to print on the reverse side. I am happy with the print quality - especially on matt paper where the colours are more vibrant than that of my inkjet (see photo - inkjet print is on the left, laser print on the right). My only other gripe is for when printing onto small sized paper. I often print onto A6 - you can see the paper in the paper tray. Whilst the left and right guides move inwards to hold the paper, the guide for the length of the paper doesn't move in far enough so I often get an error message saying the tray is out of paper and this is because the paper has moved after inserting the paper tray. A further issue on this is that when the A6 paper has been printed, you have to lift up the dark grey control panel section, otherwise you won't be able to stick your hand in beneath it to retrieve the print out.

Yeah I actually like it - nice clear prints - sits quietly in the corner doing its own thing - prints when told - yes, nice...

I have had ink printers since time began but spent a fortune on wasted inks. I have tried originals, refills, third party’s and invariable the cartridge would either not work or print poorly so I’d buy another. At sometimes around £20 per cartridge there was a lot of waste. During lockdown working from home meant I could print work letters to post in an emergency. These printers come with four large toner cartridges which are similar to commercial copiers in an office. Given them an occasional shake. Set up is easy and it connects wirelessly to devices so can be in another room. I Ave had my copier for a year and it’s used quite a lot for the kids, photos and friends who want a presentation document. The black toner has just ran out and is the first one to go after a years use. The toner was £36 for black and is on one day delivery. Worth shopping around for the various colours. The reference is HP 117a. It’s quite large but far superior to a ink printer. Can be a little slow to print but there’s no rush here.

Utter Junk. DO NOT BUY. It spits out gobbdygook rather than what you need to print. It doesn't print double sided and has a problem if you try to refeed paper to print double sided. Totally unreliable and takes over 30 mins and half a ream of paper to complete 3 pages. I always trusted HP products but this is ruubish.

Calidad precio muy buena. El fallo que puedo poner para imprimir es más bien lenta. Por lo demás la utilizo con cartuchos compatibles los originales se van de precio. Pero calidad de impresión es buena y hace su función.

Vorweg: der Drucker ist perfekt für den Hausgebrauch und als Homeoffice Drucker. Ich hatte Zweifel wegen der 1 Stern Beurteilungen, betreffend die Verbindung mit WLAN, da ich den Drucker nur über WLAN betreibe. Ich kann aber jeden beruhigen: es ist KINDERLEICHT!!! Der Drucker wird zuerst mit dem WLAN verbunden (direkt am Drucker - sehr einfach) und dann über die APP (bzw. Internet: 123hp.com) am Notebook / Tablett.... mit dem Drucker verbinden - völlig einfach, wenn man des Lesens mächtig ist. hat alles sofort geklappt. Drucke sauber - KEIN PAPIERSTAU, wenn man darauf achtet, dass nicht zuviel Papier im Papierfach ist Ich kann nur sagen: lasst Euch nicht abschrecken, der Drucker ist ein Super Tolles Produkt zu einem sehr guten Preis/LeistungsVerhältnis.

Per quanto riguarda le scansioni, se appoggio bene il foglio contro il lato, la scansione viene dritta e non storta. Invece la stampante che avevo prima; quando appoggiavo bene il foglio, la scansione veniva storta e quindi per farla dritta dovevo appoggiare il foglio storto. Non dico che marca era altrimenti la potente multinazionale mi farebbe causa per diffamazione e mi porta via l'unica casa che possiedo.

J’ai connecté cette imprimante avec le câble USB à un Mac-Pro 12.7.6 et branché le secteur, je suis en système 12 (Monterey). Et cela a suffit C’est une imprimante robuste et d’un encombrement faible. Elle est fiable capable d'imprimer, de copier, de numériser et de faxer, je n’en demandais pas plus. L'imprimante multifonction laser couleur HP 179fwg est aussi bien pratique pour moi, ne serais ce que l’ADF, chargeur automatique de documents, une technologie pratique qui simplifie la numérisation et la copie de documents. Grâce à l'ADF, peut traiter plusieurs pages à la suite sans avoir à les insérer manuellement. Il y a aussi la fonction réseau qui est très utile, si il s'agisse d'imprimer à distance grâce à une application ou depuis un téléphone portable connecté a la box, c’est complet. Enfin, Le système laser est beaucoup plus pratique que le jet d'encre car les cartouches ne sèchent pas si on ne se sert pas de l’imprimante pendant un certain temps. J'ai téléchargé le livret d'instructions sur internet, car je ne l’ai pas trouvé sur la page de commande.

fonctionne très bien
