I can not complain about the quality of the printer or ease of setup. Unfortunately the sleep mode and auto powerdown are deal breakers. The longest you can keep the printer from sleeping is 1 hour and longest from power down is 8 hours. I use the printer wirelessly 100%. This means that I must physically touch the printer to wake it up every hour. Once asleep it will not respond to a print command. I have tried all the posted fixes but to no avail. This creates a situation where I can not print while away from the site. I must store everything on my device, come home, activate printer and then do all my jobs rather than have them waiting for me. I agree with energy efficiency but a remote power up should be available..

I purchased 3 at the same time for small office use. 1 out of the 3 broke after about a week of use. Something came lose or broke on the inside and everytime you tried to print something it would make loud clicking noise from inside and would end in error. I have returned the broken one and continue to use the other 2 with no issues so far. The all in one is really nice, instead of having a printer and separate scanner on the desk. This opened up a lot of desk space. Print and scanning is faster then the old ones and the office girls like them so far. Will report back here if I have an issue with the other 2. UPDATE 2/7/18 So the other 2 and the 1 I had replaced all broke!! 1 broke on monday and the other 2 including the new replacement broke on thursday, of course the return period for the first 2 ran out on the 31st gonna try and refund the new replacement. I did talk with HP support we tried several different methods including plugging them straight into a wall outlet nothing worked! They said maybe I got a bad batch! Quality control anyone??!?!! Waiting on a call back to try and get refunds. I would not recommend using the printer in an office environment maybe for home use only with little use it might last.... I have lost faith in HP and will find another company for my printers.

The setup was pretty straight forward and no complaints in that department.Faxing works nicely. However, I have had this printer for 2 months now. After about a week I noticed printing to it wirelessly became an issue when the printer goes into energy saver mode and puts the wireless NIC into a deep sleep. When that happens all my computer show printer not available. There is no way to turn off the energy saver and HP has nothing in terms of a firmware fix. I have recently read others complaining about the sleep mode but have yet to find a permanent fix. I now just tell anyone in the house to just recycle the power on the printer in advance as a work around. I also have a gripe with the print quality or lack there of. I have been dealing with intermittent smudges on the right edge of the page. I can see that the edge of the drum has a toner build up on it. If I clean it off the drum using a dry q-tip then the problem goes away. Only to return a few pages later. So if your price shopping as I was for a straight up Black and White Laser printer then this is a decently priced printer for all it offers. But now knowing the issues I discovered I would probably have looked for something with better reviews and better build quality and not be fixated on the lowered price. I wish Apple made printers...

This is an update. Do not buy it. I bought this printer in January and it doesnt work. Warranty was for a month. Tried to change the cartridge and now the door sensor thinks the door is open so it wont print. It is very very finicky when your try to load paper as well. I do not recommend. Ok- I had to buy this printer because my last HPs scan function stopped working with Windows 10. So, I am not a happy HP customer. Having said that, this machine works fine. It feels cheap and plasticy. but it is quick and works with my wireless network. I did like that it was white and luckily it seems to work with Windows 10. I am keeping my fingers crossed that when Microsoft upgrades again, that the printer will too. The forums are useless by the way.

I bought this little HP unit over two years ago and its seen light to moderate use in my home printing off school items, event tickets, return labels, etc. I also make pretty extensive use of the document feeder on top. This unit has Scan to Network Folder capability, so you can either set up shared folders on your computer or use a NAS like I do (Raspberry Pi w/ Open Media Vault). It will also do print-from-email via HP ePrint. Its performed very well considering other units with the same function set can run you $300+, I mainly have two small complaints: 1: The unit will sometimes lose network connectivity even though it *thinks* its still connected - a reboot fixes the issue, my firmware is fully updated as of Dec 2018. This is probably a once-a-quarter thing. 2: When scanning via the automatic document feeder (ADF), the image will appear tilted by a few degrees despite feeding into the machine perfectly straight. Nothing gets cut off, but its a bit annoying. A huge plus is that its a laserjet that uses dry toner, so you wont have to worry about any ink drying up or clogging the carriage. All in all, Im satisfied with the M130fw. For $150, its a good value as long as it will see light/moderate use. If youve got a full-blown home office, you will need something more heavy-duty; start looking in the $300 range.

Easy to use and set up. Prints wicked fast. Did not use the fax features, so I cant comment on those. The scanner function is terrific...but not out of the box. My initial scans were terrible. Detail was dramatically lost in color areas, while blacks and whites were clean and sharp. There was also a great deal of compression artifacts. I decided to try installing the official software (it was working great out of the box, and Id hoped to avoid the bloat), since none of the on-device settings menus even acknowledged there was a scanner on the device. (There is a scan button, however, but again, no settings.) The official software only offered resolutions of 75 (who uses this?), 200, and 300dpi. Supposedly the printer does up to 600 (more on this afterward), but that option was not provided. Regardless, none of the new settings offered any improvement to the scan quality. I tried various things, and eventually I found some success. The trick is to avoid the TWAIN drivers with the native HP panel, and just use the vanilla WIA controls. From there, you can force the DPI all the way up to 1200, and IT WORKS. The quality increases dramatically. It goes from being one of the worst scanners Ive owned, to one of the best Ive had. Thing is, I tried this method before installing the HP software and didnt have success. But afterward, it worked.... so YMMV. Im not sure if HP purposely gimped the software on this thing, but its not the first time a hardware manufacturer has done something like that when selling a budget-minded version of a more expensive product. Other than that, its a nice little printer. :)

Spend 15 minutes connecting then it works. Next time spend 15 minutes troubleshooting and re-connecting then it works. Next time spend 15 minutes re-re-connecting then it works. And so on, and so on, and so on... If you accept the online HP trouble shooting tools, which is required to get this thing to work, then you are required to let HP ACCESS TO everything!

I wanted to love this printer as the print quality was excellent. However, I had the same connectivity issues that others have complained about and as a result I returned the printer.

Cannot print wirelessly when printer sleeps. No setting to disable. Max. time-to-sleep setting is 2 hours. I spent 60 hours trying the following: 1) Wrote script to ping printer every 10 seconds from router firmware. Did not work 2) Fixed IP address, changed to 20 MHz, bound MAC. Did not work You are dealing with: 1) Sleep mode 2) Deep-sleep mode 3) Printer Timeout 4) Time-to-Sleep and 5) Time to Auto-off. Also, in prior iterations of wireless HP design, HPs forum indicated to only use ports 1,6,11; change bandwidth to 20 MHz; disable n-band; disable WPAK2; Assign Fixed IP. Is this necessary? Also, tech support is really customer service. They function as a sound board. I dont mind helping HPs management monetize their "Eco" goals. However, by disabling the option to DISABLE SLEEP, HP replaced the Wake-on-Command with the Walk-on-Command. In other words, I need to walk over to the printer, and either turn it on or power-cycle to print. Care to use all the toner in this? Well, HP designed the page-counting toner chip (regionally coded) that will stop printing after a certain number. No resetting these, so no refilling. I suspect HP introduced their ECO settings to make their toner chips carbon neutral. After all, has anyone calculated the energy wasted by throwing away unused toner and all the additional waste created by not being able to refill these? I suspect HP needed to blacken the printers of the world with their Walk-on-Command wireless printers. If not only introducing toner chips, but also regionally encoding them using Digital Rights Management does not sound like overkill, I dont know what is. Imagine what you could design with all those resources? This printer is like one big political ballyhoo, which should also count my "Power-On" Footsteps and track how many times I am flushing my toilet. After all, if I recall, HP is VERY good at wrapping their IP around something valuable, and if I recall, the toilet was re-designed at one point to save on water per flush. However, no one thought to monetize these Eco savings. Maybe HP can figure out a way to wrap these savings around a REC and then give these things away.

Of the printers that I hands on tested, for its price class, this printer had the best build quality by a pronounced margin. The unit is very well designed, offering robust multi-function capabilities in a compact form factor. I did nearly all configuration after initial installation using the web server UI and found it to be effective, comprehensive, and responsive. The touchscreen is well sized, intuitive, and an effective tool for controlling the printer. The HP Smart app is very useful and convenient, and also well designed. So glad to have upgraded to a Pro class printer offering full range networking and user control. It scans to local NAS, email/cloud, and mobile devices effortlessly after initial setup and configuration.
