HP LaserJet M209d Laser Printer, Black and White, Automatic Duplex, USB Connection Only (Cable Included), Ideal in Home Office (8J9L0F)EPEAT

This turned out to be an amazing printer. Prints fast, with great quality, and I like the option of printing on both sides of each page, which is easy to switch on and off. A reminder that it's a WIRED printer, which works good for my little home office.For you MAC people, there was a little glitch that came up on the installation (sorry, I don't remember now exactly what it was) but it was something that popped up -- "there's a problem with (blank. )"I was kind of expecting that -- after reading other reviews. That had me concerned, being an 82-year-old with low tech capabilities -- and I was worried that I'd have to hire "a guy" to come fix it, or be on the phone for hours (and you know that routine!) or, last option, return the printer. Well, I think I just kind of ignored it, loaded some paper, hit the "print" button, and just like that, the "problem" disappeared, and we were off to the races with this great little printer. There was no cartridge to install, nothing.I highly recommend it, especially for the price.

Good size, not wireless but that is what I required. Easy to connect and no set up time. The toner cartridge is good for 1,000 pages, depending on your print settings and better yet, its toner and not ink. Its fast too, hit print and the pages are coming out. Really nice that it duplex prints on both sides so you save on paper. Great for a home office or just everyday use.

I am very pleasantly surprised with this printer especially considering its price. I was able to print on 100 lb cardstock. I did have to switch the printer setting in my computer to 100 lb though because it originally printed with a bunch of raised bumps. Once this setting was changed, it printed fine. When I tried to print 10+ pages at a time, the pages started to print a little crocked but didn't have any problems with 5 pages and under. Considering 100 lb is way above the specs, I was very pleased.Only giving 4-stars because the setup was not user friendly. My boyfriend and I are both engineers and had a little trouble getting it set up. I bought the USB version but I also own a HP Bluetooth enabled inkjet printer. I needed to turn off the bluetooth printer because my laptop wouldn't pick up the USB. Even doing that, it still was finicky. Now that it is all set up, it works great. Sometimes there is a slight delay in printing (maybe 1 minute).Overall, very happy and recommend for anyone looking for a laser printer for thick cardstock.

The print quality is sharp and consistent for black and white documents. It handles double-sided printing quickly and the paper tray holds enough for regular home office use. Setup was simple with the included USB cable.The biggest downside is that it only works through USB, so there is no wireless or network printing option. Not a problem if you only plan to connect it to one computer, but something to keep in mind.Good choice if you need a basic, reliable laser printer for black and white printing.

I will be sitting at my laptop and I’ll press the button on my mouse to print and Wala. It already has the printed paper out before I can even think about it. The wireless connectivity makes it to where I can print from anywhere on the toilet in Dubai doesn’t matter it will print if there is a Wi-Fi connection or if there isn’t a Wi-Fi connection, you can plug it in the quality of the ink is fabulous and dark and bold. I like that I can’t be more ecstatic about this printer I have everything I need now to make online school and anything that I want online seamless.

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!
