Quick Verdict
If you need a no-fuss HP LaserJet M110w that prints sharp black-and-white pages fast and stays out of your way, this is the one to beat in its class. The trade-off is a single-sided feed, no scanner, and cartridge pricing that locks you into HP's ecosystem. Score: 4.2 / 5 for small teams and home offices that print mostly text.
What Is the HP LaserJet M110w?
It was a rainy Tuesday when I unboxed the HP LaserJet M110w and placed it next to my aging inkjet — the difference in footprint was immediate. At roughly 13.6 by 7.5 by 6.5 inches, HP isn't exaggerating when it calls it the world's smallest laser in its class. The matte white shell looks clean on a desk without screaming "office hardware."
The M110w is a monochrome laser printer designed for light-duty workflows in small teams or home offices. It connects exclusively over Wi-Fi (there's no Ethernet port), prints at up to 21 pages per minute, and relies on HP's Smart app for mobile workflows. There is no scanner, no copier, no fax — just print. That focus is either a strength or a limitation depending on what you actually need.

- Self-resetting wireless automatically re-establishes dropped connections
- Compact footprint — fits under a monitor arm or on a narrow shelf
- Works with AirPrint, Mopria and direct Wi-Fi Direct printing
- HP firmware actively blocks third-party toner cartridges
Hands-On Review
Setup took me eight minutes from opening the box to printing my first test page. I had the HP Smart app open on my phone, powered on the printer, held the Wi-Fi button for three seconds, and watched the app find it. The driver installed without a single detour into HP's support site — which is more than I can say for some competitors.
By the third day I had printed around 80 pages of mixed documents: contracts, meeting agendas, a couple of PDFs with small tables. The text was consistently sharp, with that crisp laser clarity that inkjets still struggle to match, especially on plain copy paper. No smudging. No streaking. The cyan-tinged inkjet look was simply absent.
What surprised me was the noise — or rather, the lack of it under load. The M110w hums during warm-up, then finishes each page quickly enough that you're not listening to it for long. My old inkjet used to wheeze and click for seconds after a page dropped; this one is in and out.
Mobile printing worked as advertised. I sent a PDF from my iPhone over the office Wi-Fi and it landed in the output tray without the usual "is it even connected?" anxiety. HP Smart app's shortcut feature let me automate a recurring invoice print — a small thing, but it cut a three-step process down to one tap. I used it for a week before I remembered I hadn't touched a PC.
Honestly, the single-sided limitation stung after the first week when I needed to print a 12-page double-sided report. Manually reinserting pages mid-print is a workflow interruption nobody needs in a deadline crunch. If duplex is non-negotiable for your team, look at the LaserJet Pro M209dw instead.
Who Should Buy It?
- Small teams of 1–3 people printing mostly black-and-white documents, invoices and reports
- Home office workers who need reliable wireless printing from multiple devices without Ethernet clutter
- Anyone upgrading from inkjet who is tired of clogged heads, slow first-page output and smudged prints
- Mobile-first workers who print from phones and tablets more often than from a desktop
Skip this printer if you need to scan or copy documents — the M110w is print-only and there is no workaround. Also skip it if your team prints more than 1,500 pages per month; the running cost per page starts to favour higher-yield models at that volume.
Alternatives Worth Considering
- Brother HL-L2350DW — adds automatic duplex printing at a similar price point, but has a larger chassis and no HP Smart ecosystem
- Canon imageCLASS LBP6030w — slightly cheaper upfront, though slower at 19 ppm and without HP's app ecosystem
- HP LaserJet Pro M209dw — HP's own duplex-capable step-up model if two-sided printing is essential
FAQ
No. The M110w is single-sided only. You'll need to flip pages manually for double-sided output, which is a notable omission at this price point.
Final Verdict
The HP LaserJet M110w earns its place as a reliable workhorse for anyone who prints black-and-white pages daily and values desk space. Its wireless stability, fast warm-up and compact footprint outlast the annoyance of single-sided output. HP's toner lock-in is real, but for most small-team print volumes, it won't break the budget. If your workflow demands duplex, look next door. Otherwise, the M110w delivers exactly what it promises.
