HP LaserJet M209dw Wireless Printer, Print, Fast speeds, Easy setup, Mobile printing,Best-for-small teams

This printer works well and was easy enough to set up and connect to our computer through WiFi. We have an older computer with an older operating system that could only connect to the printer through WiFi and not through a printer cable. The printer connected and printed on the first printing attempt! The print quality is very good for this laser printer that was also reasonably priced.

Alright now, gather ‘round folks, 'cause I gotta tell y’all about the HP LaserJet M209d—the black-and-white laser printer that rolled into my home office like a silent hero and flipped my whole dang life upside down. Let’s start with the facts: I bought this thing to print coloring sheets. That’s right—me, a grown adult with a passion for outlines and clean fill space. And let me tell you… this printer prints ‘em so sharp and clean, I could frame ‘em. In fact, I sell ‘em on Etsy now. Because that’s how professional the quality is. You could hand one of these to a kindergartener or an art therapist and both would cry happy tears. Now—let’s talk connection. Is it wireless? No sir. Why? Because I cheaped out. It was either wireless or electricity, and I said, “I kinda like lights and hot food, so go ahead and gimme that USB cable.” And honestly? Best decision I made. Plug it in, print it out. Simple, fast, dependable—like a good huntin' dog. 🖨️ Print Quality? Stunning. Sharp as a gator’s tooth. Dark blacks, crisp edges. Doesn’t smudge, doesn’t stutter, doesn’t make you wait. If I were any happier with these results, I’d marry it and change my last name to LaserJet. But here’s the real reason I went laser: 🔥 THE WARMTH. Y’all, I don’t know what it is, but there’s somethin’ deeply spiritual about feelin’ a warm sheet of paper slide into your hands fresh off the press. I’ll print even when I don’t need to, just to hold that gentle heat. And this printer? It delivers a solid medium warmth. Not scaldin’, not cold. Like the hug of a flannel blanket on a breezy day. Do I wish it was warmer? Absolutely. Do I sometimes stack the pages just to trap the heat and press ‘em against my cheek like a weird paper sandwich? Also yes. But I accept its warmth for what it is—a gift, not a guarantee. ✅ Professional-level prints, perfect for Etsy or your second-grade niece ✅ Fast warm-up, and even faster printing ✅ USB only (because I picked survival over convenience) ✅ Easy setup—even if you live 45 minutes from a Staples ❌ Not wireless, but hey—it works ❌ I crave a little more paper warmth, but I’ll live Final verdict? This printer is the unsung hero of my home office. It prints beautifully, it warms my soul (and hands), and it didn’t fry my power bill. I love it. I respect it. I’d take it to Thanksgiving if it fit in the truck. Five stars. No regrets. Just vibes and warm pages.

I was super skeptical ordering this printer. I have never been a fan of HP products, their inkjet printers are honestly garbage. I went ahead and pulled the trigger anyways. Set up was super easy. And it being compatible with my Macbook is a huge bonus. Prints great quality, and prints fast. I have an older model of this printer in my office at work, and wanted something for my home office. Price was great too, and was brand new as opposed to refurbished. Overall I would recommend.

Easy, low cost printer with no frills and no extra features. Laser Jets are great for those of us who don't print very often. No worries about clogged jets. However, there are no extra features like blue tooth connectivity, etc.

I've owned many HP products in my life and have always been satisfied. This printer is no exception; it's quiet, easy to use out of the box and holds enough paper to last me a few weeks. It's design is classic HP, it's fast to print in high quality, and I continue to purchase their products as a company I trust.

Driver issues accurate as of April 2025. Ignore the MAC OS icon in the ads & at HP.com if you're running anything later than MacOS v11.x. The HP drivers aren't compatible with anything later. I tried to download other laser printer drivers (as another customer suggested,) but none would work. HP support was laughable. After 4 agents & 2.5 hours of effort, I'd attempted several avenues to connect this printer with their guidance only to fail. Not one of the people assigned to the case was capable of reading, or perhaps, 'believing' the printer specs, or was convinced this model is USB only. Each tried to "get" me to connect to ethernet via a non-existent RJ-45 jack. They instructed me to peel off the grey sticker covering the vacant spot where the RJ-45 port could be, not trusting their own eyes to read this model is USB only! At the agents request, I shared many photos of the printer and the printer box, clearly advertising both MAC OS & USB-only and of the empty RJ-45 jack area at different stages of the support call, and am not exaggerating that they were all positive this printer has an ethernet port! The efforts were a waste of time for me & HP. Keep in mind, other printers in this series have ethernet ports. The open space under the sticker on the back (near the USB port) is where those models RJ-45 is located. in those cases, there should be more functionality with regards to using HP Smart or the mobile app, but not with this USB-only model & Mac Sequoia. HP blames Apple, of course, though they don't offer constructive comment on why HP won't update its drivers, with the last one being dated Fall 2024. Instead, they mentioned the issue of Sequoia's security features. Why a company the size of HP doesn't work with Apple to supply up-to-date drivers as Mac OS versions roll out, or clearly list which MAC OS are supported on the printer box, in advertising materials & at HP.com, is startling. I pre-shopped extensively. Had I seen a "not compatible with Mac OS v12 or later" or similar statement, I wouldn't have ordered the printer. Simple. Without HP supporting Mac OS updates, I won't be a customer. In theory, it 'could' AirPrint, exactly as is indicated on the HP site's driver page, but that comes back to the need for a Sequoia compatible driver & ethernet port or wireless capability. HP's Smart App for Mac OS Desktop or the mobile app aren't compatible with this particular USB-only model & Mac OS Sequoia because those Apps look for either an ethernet or wireless connection. Basically, there isn't a workaround because Sequoia won't recognize this model. I used two different USB-A to B cables with a USB-C adapter to connect it & cross-tested the cables & the printer with a neighbors Windows 11 computer & can verify that system did recognize this printer, confirming the issue lies with HP's Mac OS Sequoia incompatibility. Sadly, I can't lose several key Sequoia functions by rolling back to an earlier Mac OS. My goal was to have a simple USB laser printer model for my very occasional printing needs, but at the moment, it seems the Kyocera MA2000w is my only option. Of note, the printer box did include the USB cable. The ink cartridge is labeled as a starter. I don't know it's page capacity. Amazon was very pleasant to work with in scheduling the return of the printer & UPS picked it up for free Prime return the next day!

Received promptly. Printer meets all of my needs! Cable included. Simple setup and works great!

Easy plug and play setup, print quality you expect from a laserjet, easy loading from the front. Paper tray is vulnerable to being kicked if it’s on the floor and treatment of printed pages could be improved but this is a good choice for no hassle printing if you don’t need to print large volumes. The paper tray holds a reasonable but limited supply.
