HP LaserJet Pro P1102w Printer Review. This printer “P1102W” is just what I was looking for. It works flawlessly from anywhere in the house. Setup was very easy (Windows XP, Vista, and an XP machine). I like how it goes to sleep while not in use but wakes the second you send a print job to it. The print quality is very clean, crisp, and sharp. It is plenty fast for a home printer. It is very compact for a laser printer and it holds plenty of paper. It simply blows away any of the inkjet printers I have ever used. I don’t know what else anyone could want for a small laserjet printer in this price range.

When you do double-sided printing, it is manual. This means that you print the even numbered pages, then remove the stack and place it back into the tray. At this point, you are supposed to press a “continue” button in a dialogue box that pops up on your screen. The problem is that if you attempt to do any work in another window, then that dialogue box disappears and you cannot press the continue button. There is no way to get it to reappear that I am aware of. It just disappears and you are left with a stack of even-numbered pages. The dialogue box will also disappear whether you do anything or not if the printer is on standby when you send the print job. So, if you want to print double-sided, make sure to turn it on (not standby) first. Otherwise, you’ll again have a stack of even-numbered pages.
