The HP LaserJet M209dwe is a very simple black-white printer designed for home offices or small offices. This printer is specifically designed for businesses that only need black and white prints. Since this printer doesn't have a scanner, it can’t scan documents.

Difference In Variants And Sizes

The HP LaserJet M209wde printer comes in a gray-and-white color scheme only. The printer also has a variant named HP LaserJet M209dw, which is almost identical to the M209wde model. The only difference between the two variants is that the HP LaserJet M209dw has got a six-month subscription to the HP Instant Ink service.

Comparison With Other Printers

Like other, most monochrome laser printers, the HP LaserJet M209wde printer is great at printing monochrome documents at a very low cost per page. But unfortunately, it lacks some of the important features like a scanner, display screen, and fast printing speed.

Cost Per Print Page

This printer has a very low cost, all thanks to its huge, relatively toner cartridge cost and page yield. And also, because the drum unit is included in the printer cartridge, you need not worry about its replacement. HP LaserJet M209wde is an HP+-enabled printer that gets a six-month subscription to the HP Instant Ink Service.

Printing Speed of LaserJet M209wde

This printer's printing speed is surprisingly slow compared with other laser printers, even though the speed they have advertised is much higher. And issues like spooling and WiFi connection issues are likely to cause lower speeds. If you’re just printing a single page every day for a few hours, then you might not feel the lower speed of this printer. You will feel that decent speed.

Build Quality

The HP LaserJet M209dwe printer is sturdy and well-built. This printer has a removable power cable, making it very easy to replace. With this printer, you can easily access paper jams by easily pulling the cover from the rear and the toner by lifting the output tray. Thai printers have got adjustable width sliders which are part of the printer body below the paper tray. The input tray cover is removable and can be easily folded upwards to provide easier access to the width and input tray. Unlike the similar HP LaserJet MFP models, this variant does not get handles on the side for griping when moving it.

HP LaserJet M209dwe Mobile Application

The HP Smart application lets you do printing and copying. You can also access the printer reports and settings to manage your Instant Ink account. You can also use the private pick-up feature, which only prints your documents when you‘re not physically present. Please note that the printer scanning option does not work on this printer since there is no scanner.

Operating System Compatibility

You will need to install drivers for your HP LaserJet printer on windows manually. And To use a mac, you will need to install the driver and download the application to your mac. However, if you want to access features and maintenance tasks, you will need to install the HP Smart app since there is no display available in the printer.

Final Words

In this blog, we have reviewed the HP LaserJet M209dwe printer. This printer is mainly suited for home offices or small offices because of its slow printing speed. There are many cons that many people might not consider, like no scanner, monochrome, etc. But it is justified with the price it is offered for. So if you’re someone who does not want to print colored prints and does not perform scanning operations, then you should definitely go for this printer.
