HP LaserJet 179fnw Colour Wireless Multifunction Printer with Fax | Self-healing Wi-Fi | Print from phone or tablet | Small, compact MFP – world's smallest in-class | Print speeds up to 19 ppm black

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.

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

The HP LaserJet 179fnw has been a major letdown, mainly due to its incredibly slow performance. Printing, scanning, and even simple tasks take far longer than expected, making it frustrating to use, especially in a busy home or office setting. The print speed is far slower than advertised, and colour prints take an eternity to come out. Even when printing basic documents, there is a noticeable delay before the printer even starts. Scanning is no better, with the automatic document feeder being sluggish and prone to misfeeds. Connectivity is another issue—the wireless function is unreliable, often disconnecting or failing to find the printer on the network. The control panel is also quite basic and not very intuitive to navigate. For a laser printer, I expected much better speed and efficiency. Unfortunately, this model is too slow to be practical, and I regret purchasing it. I would not recommend it to anyone who needs a reliable and fast multifunction printer.

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.

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.

Superbe machine ,simple d emploi. Comme d habitude les consommables sont... comment dire.... assez chers...

Di dimensioni compatte. Il libretto di istruzioni l'ho scaricato da amazon, nella confezione non c'è. Non facilissima da usare, si riesce a governarla bene dell'apposita App HP. Stampa bene ed è silenziosa. Ci vuole un pochino di tempo all'accensione ma ritengo sia normale e comunque parliamo di un paio di minuti. Nel complesso molto soddisfatto anche perché acquistata scontata a 263,90 euro.

fonctionne très bien

Imager started giving issues about 5 months after purchase, resulting in lines and stripes across printed pages. Amazon's return window closed just one month after purchase.

The printer is very excellent, and although its price is high, it is distinctive in printing, faxing, photography and copying.
