HP LaserJet Pro MFP M428fdw Wireless Monochrome All-in-One Printer with built-in Ethernet & 2-sided printing, works with Alexa (W1A30A)

Read the reviews for this printer and saw so many people who said this printer was super difficult to set up. I had this printer out of the box, plugged in, and connected to our WiFi in minutes. I’m not sure what these other reviewers are doing. I printed something from every computer in my house and these days that ranges from a PC running windows, macs running Big Sur OS, Mojave OS, iPads and iPhones. I used it as a copier, a scanner and a printer. I did not scan anything to my phone or iPads only to our computers. It has a cool feature where you can email a document to the printer from anywhere in the world and it will print it. HP has made this pretty simple. I hate when people write bad reviews about a product when it was them who didn’t know what they were doing. This printer is monochrome, can you imagine if I wrote a bad review because it didn’t print in color. After setting this thing up as fast as I did, that is how I see all bad reviews of this laser printer. Good luck on your search for a laser printer. If it is going to be your first one, you’ll never go back to an ink jet.

BW laser printers have been the most cost-effective for my needs at home. They last forever. There is no goopy ink making messes or clogging lines and print heads. I go years on a single toner cartridge. Brother has been my go-to for these for the last 15 years. Very affordable with great features and quality. Unfortunately, the new lineups from Brother are not getting the kind of reviews that give me confidence; I saw several red flags around toner lock-in and forced re-supply.HP has always been the leader in printing technology. They have just been cost-prohibitive for personal use. The LaserJet Pro MFP M428fdw is snappy, smart, good quality, easy setup, and has all the business class features I value while not breaking the bank. Not super cheap, but I feel like I am getting my money's worth with this printer.I definitely recommend this product for anyone looking for low total cost of ownership with best in class printing technology.

I'm replacing a 7 year old multifunction printer from Dell. Nearly every time I went to print something recently, I had to -at the very least - reboot this printer, and sometimes that didn't work.Enter the HP LaserJet Pro MFP M428fdw. This gem took about 5-7 minutes to initially setup via USB connection, all very simple and self-explanatory. Printed a test sheet, then went to the touch screen to set up wireless connection.The touch screen looks small and easy to "fat-finger", but I never hit a wrong character. About 2 minutes max on an easy wi-fi setup. Then I connected three laptop devices, all very simple and self explanatory. Bottom line is (1) easy setup, and (2) prints what you want when you hit "print" on your device. I wish I had bought this printer a year ago, and would recommend it to anybody for home use, or even business if you don't need more than 22 ppm.

This is a very good printer, scanner but don't use the fax much anymore. I would have rated the MFP excellent but periodically the printer goes offline for no apparent reason. The HP Smart Software is comprehensive but the downside is you're forced to sign up with HP to get all of the MFP operations fully functional. The Smart software runs into glitches and when it does prints may be incomplete without any notice on the screen. More fiddly than prior HP MFP's. I've an HP customer for 30+ years, when this unit wears out, I may check out the competition to see what else is out there.

I now have had 5 HP LaserJet over the years. And never did I ever have any problems with my old reliable LaserJet My office needed a hi-speed LaserJet that could print both letter and legal in the same print job. And my print jobs average 200 pages. So I chose the HP LaserJet Pro MFP M428fdw, and purchased the 3rd tray for only legal size paper, while dedicating tray 2 for letter sized paper. And let me tell you, this printer is amazing! I download the file and save it to my computer. Then I open the printer software and print. It's that easy. The printer sees the size of the page to print and pulls from the correct tray every time. This printer is installed via wifi to my computer and the connection speed and print speed is great, no lags at all. I then take the documents to my client's home to get them signed. Then it's back to the office where I use the incredible "scan to computer" feature to create 200 page PDFs (of both letter and legal size scans) to email back to the lender. I've run almost 2500 pages through this process since I bought the printer a couple weeks ago. My workflow productivity has increased at least 50%. What a great printer this is! Thanks HP. Get yourself one, you won't ever be disappointed. You just cannot beat the reliability and simplicity of this workhorse.

I bought this printer with the intent to just print. But then I needed to fax, and scan, air-print, and also do all of this en masse. I had about 5 other printers from HP, Brother, Epson, Canon, usually under $250. But I decided that after enough years of being annoyed with running out of ink, manually feeding docs on the flatbed, or having limited feeder options (only for printing, not for scanning), I pulled the trigger on this bad boy and have no regrets. I can fax the world via individual or scheduled (I did a 30 page fax to eFax number for testing), scan (using my computer) with the document feeder (25 pages IN A MINUTE exported to a PDF, compared with 2 hours with HP Scan), super fast air printing with easy WiFi setup (again, like a minute for 20 pages), and I don't have issues with sleep/wake times like I have with previous printers that might lose their IP address (for various reasons, periodic router reboots). This is the printer for you, if you want the kinds of options I did. Enjoy!
