good quality but the color is not vivid
It is easy to setup and works with home WiFi, so no USB cable is required. The only bonw side is the color is not vivid campare with other color printers I have used before, hence 4 star.
Does an excellent job overall
The print quality is excellent. WiFi connection to computer very easy. Unlike my pevious HP laser if it is left in standby mode (power light flashing) you have to remember to hold that down for a few seconds to for it to fully illuminate and run through a fairly brief warm up procedure. I don’t think that is in the instructions so can be confusing when first using it. The paper tray is definitely on the flimsy side and a bit fiddly but works OK once you get used to it but it would not put up with rough handling I think. Overall a very satisfactory home printer.
Incidentally the first printer I received had a paper jam very shortly afterwards and although the jam was cleared the fault light and message could not be cleared so it was returned (pick-up by Royal Mail from home) and a replacement arrived the following day so good work by Amazon.
No scree
I was a bit surprised that it has no screen on the actual printer. The hp app on my phone is the only contact with it. I think the cheaper one would of done as well.
The printer is quicker than my Ink jet and the colours are true.
Great quality and fast laser printing
Small good price laser printer. Connects to phone or computer well. Sometimes loses connection or slow to to send and have to re-connect pressing the blue Wi-Fi button which is a bit annoying but for the price, very good quality fast printing.
Bought a Samsung several years ago. Worked great till one day boot up issues
Looked around and found this
Got it ordered and once unpacked realised it was identical to the Samsung only re badged HP. Even down to the toner its identical.
So at least I have replacement stock when toner runs out
Simple setup for WiFi or cat 5 or standard USB.
Works great in home WiFi with all devices able to print including phones and tablets.
Did my research on products, decided which make/model I required (HP Laserjet 150nw). Checked Amazon at the last minute before purchasing from another supplier and acquired for 20% less. Over the moon with the product, service and price!
Like some of the other reviewers already mentioned this printer is really tricky to connect to wifi. Was close to giving up and finally managed to get the app set up with the printer. Once installed it did the job. Takes quite a time for the printer to start printing especially when printing several individual pages. At one point I had 36 pages in the queue (three page documents). The ink states average 1000 pages however mine ran out of just over 400 pages. Very expensive to replace the ink.
Bought this on preference to an inkjet printer as we print infrequently and inkjets just dry out and then don’t work right when you need them. So far so good with this one. I added it to my Wi-Fi from my phone, it’s maybe not crystal clear instructions, but it didn’t take long, maybe 20Mins from opening the box to printing. As many have said the paper feed tray sits out the front a bit. Prints look decent for general use, I haven’t tried photos to see how they look. So far it worked every time we have asked it to. In terms of speed it seems fine to me for a general home printer. I’m happy.
HP Colour Laser 150nw Wireless Printer, White
Good laser printer although not impressed with HP set-up arrangements especially with setting up for wireless. No I.P. address given so have to work it out for yourself. They used to include a set-up CD at one time!
Print quality is top notch. Wifi connectivity on mobile devices is at the bottom.
When your phone/tablet finally finds the printer (it’s not every time), it takes up to a minute for the printer to start printing.
On iPhone, air printing doesn’t work very well either. I managed to print 1/10.
HP I always think of as making stuffy heavy duty office gear. However I previously bought the “15” model black and white printer and was amazed at the good value and the small footprint [ in a bookcase at home]. This colour-job seemed the obvious successor. Well – it is, but not, in my limited experience, quite as successful. Its a bit bigger obviously. And takes its time over printing – paticularly from pressing “print” to the first page coming out. Photographs I have not yet fully resolved. Adequate as-far-as on standard matt paper. But the usual commercial Laser Gloss photo paper tends to be heavy and so far the ones I have tried refuse to go through the machine – even if within the specified weight. The good thing about that is that they tend to stop at entry [ easy to rescue], and not get stuck somewhere in the works. More study needed?
Good for small business
This was an upgrade for me from b&w HP laser printer. Connected quickly via mobile and print quality is good. Came with cartridges installed but didn’t last. Less than 3 wks with nominal usage. Replacement cartridges are very expensive.
Its slow on uptake from laptop/mobile to actual print and cannot cope with more than 1 job at time. Printing is slow too. Much slower than B&W laser from HP.
If needing again, I would not chose this model as it cannot print card thicker than 230gsm, one of reasons I bought was to print my labels and tabs.
Itll do for now. Purchased via the pay monthly thing so don’t notice the payment too much.
Printer is great, seems reliable enough, printed about 100 pages so far with just the one jam that was easy to clear. Previous printer it replaced had to be lovingly hand fed each individual page of paper. However as standard as it may be it feels like quite the unnecessary “f*** you, spend money” to only come with half empty cartridges.
Great looking printer, although once you’ve inserted paper into it, the paper tray juts out by 10cms, rather ruining the effort put into the overall design.
Having done some research and finding that this printer works with Macs I made the purchase. Receiving the printer, the paperwork only mentions Windows. Online, the website states that the printer’s not compatible with my OS. Having seen that someone mentioned airprint in the reviews, I went to System Preferences/Printers & Scanners and added it there.
Adding the app to my phone I assumed I would be able to change the printer settings however, they are nowhere to be found. I tried searching for connecting to the printer via a browser using 192.1.etc and again nothing. In the end I stumbled accross something that worked, so:
FOR MAC USERS WHO WANT TO CHANGE THE PRINTER’S SETTINGS
1. Go to ‘System Preferences’.
2. Click on ‘Printers & Scanners’.
3. Select your HP Printer.
4. Click on ‘Options & Supplies’.
5. Under the ‘General’ Tab, click ‘Show Printer Webpage…’
6. Here you will see all the available options but you will not be able to edit them until you log in with ID:admin and leave the password field blank.
Great printer, terrible printed and online Mac support. Hence the loss of 1 star.
I want to love this printe
This printer promises so much and the print quality is really quite nice but the HP software is dire and it took me way too long to get it onto my Google print account. The sooner manufacturers agree to a standard setup for Google print the better. We’re all using it so just deal with it.
Printer is quiet, quick and looks reasonable. Toner is very expensive but that’s what you pay for colour laser. Significantly better than an inkjet.
The pictures that accompany this review are from a standard print of a RAW photograph from a Nikon D7500 on plain budget A4. I then zoom in to show what the pixel density is like. Bear in mind that Amazon reduce quality of images to save server space. The photograph when printed is quite good
I needed a printer for occasional use and had to have a small footprint. This one ticked the right boxes for me. I didn’t want an ink jet as I would have had issues with the cartridges drying up and going to waste so the laser jet was an ideal choice and thankfully this one isn’t some desk monster. Being wireless I was able to put it onto a shelf in my study and it doesn’t get in the way. It can hold a few hundred sheets of paper and the print quality is pretty good for what it is. I have printed out photographs on A4 standard paper and they are quite clean and crisp. It doesn’t look like it will take anything less than A4, but I haven’t looked that much into it as I only need A4 prints.
It initially I thought this was a simple cube, but you have to partially pull the paper tray out and this stays permanently stuck out. The wireless set up was a bit of a drag, not due to the printer but due to BT home hub. For some reason when I used the WPS button, my router was reset to a strange SSID and a password that was neither mine nor default. When I looked into it I found that it is a known issue with some BT hubs. I had to do a hard factory reset of the router. Once I was back up and running, I used the WPS option from within the web portal and I was connected. I haven’t used the HP software suite as quite frankly I don’t need it. Apparently, you can scan and print from their App, but I could do that with the default software on my phone which makes me think that it is a marketing con to make it look like the printer is also a scanner, which it isn’t. From Windows, I just use the native print options from within the package I am using. PDFs may need to be resized to fit page in the print options as they look like pictures to the printer and may be cut off on the edges.
Bottom line: for a laser jet it is small, reasonably priced, has good basic functions and an acceptable plain paper print quality.
EDIT. Paper tray can be closed back into the printer, but only when the tray is empty.
Also check consumable prices. Original parts are very expensive. Lack of 3rd party supplies, but they are sure to follow
It’s a great, affordable printer. Print quality is great. It’s quiet, it’s easy to set up and it does the job. It loses a star because the title (at time of review) is a lie. Don’t buy this if you’re after a multifunction printer with a built in scanner. The blurb waxes lyrical about how you can scan and print documents, but frankly I could take rubbish photos of documents on my phone without buying a laser printer, so to claim scanning as a feature when you have to use your phone to do it is a bit cheeky. Good printer, but stop the porkies.
