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

In an office where wireless printers aren’t allowed, this USB-only workhorse was a real value at $68. It prints quickly and on both sides of the paper. No more walking to the printing office to pick up my printouts. Quick and cheap at my desk. Love it. Installed like a dream.

OK. I've bought several printers over the past 10 years, and I've hated them all. All were wireless, all had fancy features - and each one was a total pain in the butt. I was always guessing if the printer would work, and I was just done. I just printed at work or a local Staples; I couldn't be bothered anymore. But I saw this - old school - plug and print. I thought I'd give it a shot, and I'm so glad I did. It's just that easy - from my phone or laptop - plug and print. The print quality is great, and it's quick, too. It's just black and white; if it were color, it would be perfect.

Easy set up and prints fast. I got this to replace my other HP printer that simply stopped working. There always seems to be a problem with WIFI connections. This one comes with cable, so no connection issues. For the price, this printer is fast and does a great job.

Good little workhorse of a printer. Must use usb cord, it does not have wifi, but this is exactly what I was looking for. It's early, but prints well for my small business. Great value for the money.

Great printer. Very fast. Very reliable. High quality, B&W/Greyscale image. Prints both sides. I've had one for 3 years and just bought another. Great value for the price

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!

So far I really love this printer. It is fast, the print quality is good, it is fairly small and inexpensive. I don't miss color printing much and have another printer if I really need it.

I had a printer for 3 months (NOT laser) that actually stopped working because it ran out of one (1) color. Period. No printing until shipment arrived. Out of desperation, I went looking for a printer without this problem. Unbelievably I found this HP laser printer...B&W. That's all it basically is. But within 5 minutes of unpacking and then downloading software, I was printing! The great thing about is it was only $70. It's a compact size, simple to set up. It's strictly USB and not wireless but I don't care. I still have the other one that I can use for color and scanning.
