Review: HP LaserJet Pro 200 color Printer M251nw

Handsome, easy to use, and with nice output, the LaserJet Pro M251nw is a good deal for light-usage scenarios. The pricey toner and lack of automatic duplexing are drawbacks.

Easy-to-use touchscreen control panel ; Good color output quality

Pricey toner ; No automatic two-sided printing

HP LaserJet Pro 200 color M251nw

The HP LaserJet Pro 200 color M251nw laser printer offers fast speed and above par output overall quality.

High quality text and graphics. Fast. Ethernet. Wi-Fi.

Limited paper handling, with only 150-sheet capacity, no manual feed, and no duplexer.

HP LaserJet Pro 200 Colour Printer M251nw review - inexpensive laser printer

On looks alone, the HP LaserJet Pro 200 Colour Printer M251nw could win a lot of fans. With a faux brushed-black-metal exterior (it's plastic, but convincing), and a flip-up, 3.5-inch touchscreen control panel, it's one of the handsomest small office...

The HP LaserJet Pro 200 Colour Printer M251nw offers good colour output quality and connectivity with an easy-to-use touchscreen control panel. Unfortunately the toner is pricey and there is no automatic two-sided printing. If you are in the market for...

Great networked printer, simple setup, hot deal

Best $100 color laser you can get. Though refurbished mine came looking like new with brand new toner carts. Setup was a breeze. I have the printer wired to my home network, but wireless should be easy configure to. Easily setup to print from my wife's...

not worth anything

I like hp products, but this one is a huge fail!

Not many, looks good, and fast when there are no error, prints good in just black

The worst part is that the color alignment is off, I have tried everything they suggest to align, but they are still off. All pictures come out In a blur. The touch screen is hard to control. Also there is an error almost every time I print, so have to...

Tricky driver installation and truly awful manual

I had to call HP Tech Support because my printer refused to install. The manual (all pictures intended for multi language use) was not helpful. After an hour of attempts to install the driver remotely the HP Tech offered to replace the unit. I accepted...

Flawless victory.

I bought this for home use to replace an inkjet. I'm sure it would be fine for any home or small office. I'm writing this review as a home user. If you do the math on toner vs ink, toner is way cheaper per page even though the cartridges are more...

My entire experience with this printer has been great so far. I took it out of the box, removed all of the safety strips, added the wifi ssid and password using the touchscreen panel, and there it was, discoverable and ready to use for all of the PCs...

I didn't buy it sooner ; Probably won't use the "apps" or ePrint

Consumer review (newegg.com)

bad power supply

I'll be looking for a model that is more for the business market hoping that the parts will have a longer life.

This is an inexpensive printer with good print quality. The toner is easy to replace. It prints quietly and has no odors that I noticed

Both of the two units I have owned of this model have died in the same way: the unit makes a small popping sound, emits an electric smell, and then no longer can be powered on. One printer lasted a year or so. The other just 5 days. I can't recommend...
