HP LaserJet Pro M203dw Wireless Laser Printer, Amazon Dash Replenishment ready (G3Q47A). Replaces HP M201dw Laser Printer

The transaction with Amazon was great. I wish I could say that about this printer. In my 25 years of IT, I have not seen an HP printer this bad. I bought two at the end of October, one is dead already and the other has consistent problems. Wireless connections are intermittent at best. If you need to switch back to USB because of the wifi issues, getting the correct drivers to install after the fact can be a challenge, especially for home users with less tech skill/experience. The paper tray is finicky and the toner cartridge tiny. When its running, it runs well. Keeping it running is the trick.

Ive been a dedicated "HP Only" user for many years. Purchased this printer specifically for wifi access yet it consistently loses the wifi connection. Reboot your system, try again.... works briefly then stops working. Used USB connection as an alternative and have similar issues where it just gives a message that the printer is in an error state. After using in both modes alternately just to stay functional, now the printer loses its preferences settings and goes to printing duplex. Change both in control panel or in the printing window and it still reverts to duplex after you print 2 or 3 documents. Definitely NOT the printer for reliable use.

We have used this printer in our accounting department since Aug 2017. Yesterday (1/2/18) it started making noise and spitting out fragments of something that we cant find from where. Picture is attached - also our reports are printing smeared. We are past day of return or support so basically we are stuck with a bad printer.

As others have said, the setup for this printer was very difficult for me! Im kind of tech savvy, but It took me about 4 hours! It should have been a simple plug and play, but it was far from that. The obstacles I faced were getting it to run wirelessly, and getting the auto 2 sided printing feature to work. I searched the online detailed user guide to no avail. I finally combed the HP forum for the answers. Cant figure out why HP has not fixed this setup process. After the arduous setup process, it seems to work OK. Unless you like figuring stuff out, dont choose this printer!

First, as others mentioned the toner cartridge does not come out during initial setup. The manual vaguely indicates this. As most HPs require removal of the toner at initial setup to remove shipping tape, this is a frustration many will experience. Turn the printer on, allow it to run its first warm up cycle, and the toner can then be removed. Other item to note are the buttons on this printer which have a very low quality feel. The wireless button/indicator initially blinks trouble - this stopped once it was setup via ethernet. This printer also has a separate imaging unit, which is unusual for an HP. Print quality is fine, however the printer clicks and makes more noise than other similar HPs. This may be due to the autoduplexing unit, even though this noise occurs with non duplex printing. Overall, it appears that HP has created a low cost single function printer and added some unusual features and possibly sacrificed build quality. Time will tell in regards to how long it lasts. At this point, I would not buy again, but it is functional.
