Some install tips...please read.
I saw this printer and just had to have it.
I've been wanting to get a wireless printer for some time. I have a laptop, my daughter has a laptop, and I have a desktop. BUT, I could not print on anything beside the desktop. Unless I shared out the printer and left my PC on ALL THE TIME....I didn't want to do that. Also, the idea of just having to plug this into a socket and not running any CAT5 was great.
So I started looking around for a wireless printer. I checked HP's site, since I've had good luck with their products. Well, they did not have a laser printer with wireless. I just couldn't find one. And I wanted to stay away from inkjet technology. I wanted something that was FAST.
An excellent buy for the money
Just thought that I would add that this printer has worked great on my computer running Windows Vista 64 bit, with a USB connection. It was plug-and-play and I have had no problems to speak of. I think it is a great bargain. There are better printers out there, but for the price, this seems hard to beat.
Great laser printer for a fantastic price!
I purchased this printer 3 months ago and it has performed flawlessly. Setup was extremely easy. I wanted a wireless printer and the setup under Vista couldn't have been easier. It is important to follow the setup instructions EXACTLY or the wireless connection will fail. The printer has an extremely small footprint and with it being wireless, it gets tucked under my desk out of the way.
I couldn't be happier with this printer!
Wish I had bought it years ago!
Finally a network (wired/wireless) laser printer that works as advertised. I have gone through multiple printers of different makes and was always turned off by bloated software and shoddy network performance. In comparison, I was able to install the HL-2170W easily on my Windows, Mac OSX, and most importantly, Linux computers (running Ubuntu/Mint). The Windows driver/utility is extremely non-intrusive and lightweight compared to the stuff Lexmark/HP sometimes make you install.
At this price, it's an absolute steal for everyday printing. Tiny footprint makes it easily sit in the corner of my kitchen countertop. Awesome.
Great Printer
Just received this printer and it's great! It was a little bit tricky to set up on one computer and 2 laptops, but definitely doable. It prints fast and clean and the wireless connection is great. I can have this printer anywhere in the house and it prints from any of my computers. Couldn't ask for anything more! Perfect for all the text printing one has to do without wasting ink on their photo printers. I would recommend this printer to everyone.
