HP Laser MFP 138fnw

Great printer. Took 10 minutes to unpack and 5 minutes to set up which only requires plugging it in, connecting to laptop using the USB cable and downloading the driver and scanning software from the HP website. The printer is detected automatically as soon as the driver is installed. Also install the HP Smart app and plugin app on your mobile and follow the instructions to print documents and pictures from mobile to the printer it is connected to your wifi using the printer display panel wizard. Took another 5 minutes to get everything working just fine. Scanning using the ADF or flatbed is a breeze. Go for the ADF model because it allows scanning and printing legal size documents also in addition to the usual A4. Overall an unbeatable printer below Rs 20k. Yet to try out the fax. Update after 8 months continuous use: Working fine even after relocation across the country through packers and movers. Great value for money. Takes just minutes to set up. Retaining the original box and packing is advisable.

It is a good printer. The HP support person also provided prompt support initially with my query. The one issue I have is sometimes it is not responding to the print instruction until I print a test page from hp app

nice

I've tried setting this printer up over Wifi and USB cable. Through my Laptop and my smartphone. No matter what you do it won't recognize or detect the printer. It is unusable. Ridiculous for a Rs. 18,999 Printer. Completely useless. Update: Just to give you an idea, to take scans on this printer, it asks you to enable your location (GPS) on your smartphone, and create an account with HP. You have to wonder why. Throughout the setup, it keeps asking for your location. After over an hour of struggle I managed to set it up on my smartphone, but no matter what I do, my laptop cannot use the HP Smart App to connect to this printer regardless of whether I use the Wifi or USB options. If I try to log into the built in web server on the printer, the password I am expected to provide is wrong. This is so ridiculous - because I am connecting to it over USB!! Don't buy this printer! if you must buy one from HP, by a different model. My 10 year old printer works effortlessly, but this is a piece of junk. I didn't have a great impression of HP, but now its hit a new low. Update: part of the problem is there are limited instructions, and some of it is incorrect. This printer says it supports 5Ghz networks but actually it supports only 2.4Ghz. If you are trying to set it up on a 5Ghz network, it will never detect, and won’t even tell you that is the reason. If setup with the HP app doesn’t work, just use your built in software. Their app isn’t needed except for mobile devices, and I feel they mainly use it to collect data on you 😞

Very good and affordable laser printer. What I like and don't like about HP MFP 136FNW laser printer Good 1. Not too heavy, occupies small space. 2. Easy to install and operate. Works well with wireless network (Wi-Fi). 3. Print quality and copier works well. 4. ADF (Automatic Document Feeder) works really good. Bad (Need Improvement) 1. Scanner does not work with Wi-Fi, need to connect to USB every time for scanning of documents. 2. Highest scan resolution is just 300 dp, better if it would have been upto 600 dp. 3. Refresh at startup takes a little bit time.

I own a HP Laser Printer for one floor of my office. I own a Brother Laser Printer for one floor. For my new floor, I got this one. Unfortunately the ink/toner cartridge is two times as expensive. This is not something I was expecting. So i Kind of regret my purchase. In functionality there is no issue. I own a coworking office in Noida so we have to make sure we have plenty of ink handy and this is just too expensive to maintain and run. Will update in 2 months.

From the day I purchased the product, it is giving me trouble, the print quality was very bad, raised a complaint at the company, after repetitive calls a technician came and advised us to change the cartridge as the company provides only a sample cartridge which works only 30% capacity. So we purchased a new cartridge valued at rs. 5500 approx. But still the problem is the same. I am very disappointed with the HP services and product. It’s a waste of money for me. Kindly either give me my full refund, or replace it with a brand new product.

Good
