The HP LaserJet Pro P1102w is one of the most affordable laser printers that can spit out mono documents at a good speed. It is a basic printer, but one that comes with a wireless support that can be disabled or enabled with ease.

Wireless is just one of the few surprises the printer has. A closer look at it reveals that there is an additional input tray for envelopes and thicker media. And despite the cheap price, its print speed is better than expected, which is a huge plus for anyone who desires a speedy printer by spending as little money as possible.

Features and Highlights

The HP LaserJet Pro P1102w looks nice and sturdy. One look is all it takes to find out that it is a compact printer that can easily share a desk with a monitor. Even when all the input and output trays are folded out, it still looks compact.

The main input tray is a 150-sheet slot on the front of the printer. If there is only one person who uses the printer, the capacity should be sufficient, but probably not if it is used by multiple users. Refilling the empty input tray is a simple task, but even a simple task could become annoying if you do it too often in a short period.

Above it is a multipurpose tray for special papers, which can hold 10 sheets. The extra tray also comes handy when you want to print on a different paper size without having to swap the papers in the main tray. The only problem with the multipurpose tray is that it lacks a straight through path, so some papers may not in the best condition when they emerge from the printer.

Every button and every LED of the control panel has an icon but without any label. For those who are unwilling to take a lucky guess for the meaning of an unknown icon should check the documentation.

The HP LaserJet Pro P1102w is cheap, but it has an unexpected print speed of 19 pages per minute. It also only takes about 8.5 seconds for the printer to warm up and print the first page.

The duty cycle is 5,000 pages in Letter size per month. The toner cartridge needs to be replaced several times to reach the number if you ever need to print that many, but keep in mind not to print more as it increases the risk of a premature damage.

It feels nice to have a compact printer yet fast and strong enough to print thousands of pages if necessary. The wireless support is also an advantage that not every printer has, especially on a printer this cheap.

The HP LaserJet Pro P1102w is also surprisingly better at printing photos than some other mono laser printers, but those who often need to print photos should find another printer as a mono laser has never been a favorite tool to complete the task.
