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.
Standard 802.11b/g wireless ( plus USB) gives a progressive lift to an otherwise typically configured low-end laser printer. The HP LaserJet Pro P1102w has a 150-sheet main input area, a foldout front panel ( rather than a full-fledged tray) with sliding width guides.
The machine also has a manual-feed slot for thicker media. The top-loading output tray holds 125 sheets. Although the construction of these parts is impressively sturdy, their markings - stamped into the black plastic with no contrasting colouring - are nearly impossible to decipher. Manual duplexing is available on both a PC and a Mac, with helpful on-screen prompts.
