HP LaserJet M110w: compact monochrome printing with 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct review

A small monochrome printer with two distinct wireless arrangements

The HP LaserJet M110w suits a modest black-document queue needing one 150-sheet input, USB or 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, and ordinary mobile printing. Its useful distinction is genuine Wi-Fi Direct as well as router-based wireless. The deciding limitation is two-sided work: pages must be reloaded manually.

This review covers exact US 7MD66F#BGJ, documented for nominal 110–127 VAC at 50–60 Hz. It is not dual voltage. Do not substitute a European electrical or cartridge configuration merely because the front model name matches. A surviving maker page describes this reference configuration without establishing a particular seller's stock or condition.

Set aside room for the paper, not just the closed box

The US closed dimensions are approximately 13.6 inches wide, 7.5 deep and 6.3 high. Its published maximum working dimensions expand depth to 14.17 and height to 11. The original family guide gives a smaller opened depth, so allow the larger US figure plus cable and service space. Weight remains unresolved between its 8.4-lb US field and the guide's 8.2-lb figure.

The single included input supports ordinary Letter, Legal and A4; there is no second drawer or priority slot to add. Standard input is 150 sheets, while output is 100. The exact specification permits 65–120-g/m² input material, but does not state a separate paper-weight basis beside the capacity headline. Thick or special stock should not inherit the ordinary-sheet count.

Remove the existing paper, load an undamaged stack printable side up with the top forward, and slide it in until it stops. Bring the guides against its edges and extend the output support. The original warns against fanning stock or changing it while printing. Select the actual size and type in the compatible computer driver.

For envelopes, clear ordinary stock and center the envelope with its short edge entering and print side up. Flap position changes the specific orientation: the original distinguishes a short-edge flap from a long-edge flap. Follow that diagram instead of copying instructions from a different LaserJet. The guide separately loads a full label sheet face up with its top toward the back.

Choose the computer connection and complete its own setup

USB uses the rear device port and a separately purchased US cable. The documented setup connects the cable, adds the printer through HP Smart and creates or signs into an HP account when prompted. The current US page calls the software the HP app; its footnote requires an account for full functionality and internet access for the described app services. No CD is included.

Router-based wireless is 2.4GHz 802.11b/g/n, not a 5GHz-only connection. The original app procedure uses Bluetooth and location permissions during setup, expressly excluding Bluetooth printing. It also documents WPS: press the router button, then hold the printer Wireless button for five seconds within two minutes, and wait for the light to become steady.

Network changes can require restoring setup mode. The original holds Wireless for more than 20 seconds until Attention blinks, then lets the printer restart before adding it again. That is different from the shorter diagnostic-report button hold.

Keep manual duplex and phone printing specific

In the compatible Windows driver, open Layout and select Print on Both Sides Manually. After the first pass, remove unused input stock and return the printed stack printed side down, top first. Continue at the computer and press Resume/Cancel if its Attention light requests it. The original Mac HP-driver routine uses Manual Duplex and the same reload orientation, while warning that the option might not be available through AirPrint.

AirPrint and Mopria support ordinary printing on the same local Wi-Fi network. A separate confirmed route uses AirPrint over Wi-Fi Direct. Turn Direct on in the Embedded Web Server's Networking/Wi-Fi Direct Setup section, choose the printer's wireless name and supply its password when required. The guide allows up to five connected computers or mobile devices.

After direct printing, some phones must reconnect to their normal network. Mobile paper size, input capacity and manual-duplex controls remain unconfirmed here. Wi-Fi Direct's setup PIN authenticates a connection; it is not evidence of private document release. No included PIN job-storage feature is established.

Read scanning, supplies and cartridge restrictions literally

This is print-only hardware. The advertised smartphone scanning belongs to the phone app; it does not add a flatbed, feeder, standalone copier or analog fax. A generic scanner-glass sentence in the shared loading chapter also does not establish a physical scanner.

The exact US replacement is HP 141A W1410A, declared at about 950 pages under continuous-printing ISO/IEC 19752 conditions. The US box names a 141A cartridge without an independently confirmed supplied yield in that field. Do not borrow the European 300-page supplied count or W1420A replacement; the original supply table explicitly separates regions.

Dynamic security accepts new or reused HP chips and blocks non-HP chips, including through firmware updates. Cartridge Policy and permanent Cartridge Protection are separate controls that the original sets off by default. Turning Protection off later does not release cartridges already paired. An app account prompt is not a reason to import HP+ lifetime conditions from an e-suffix printer.

HP recommends 100–1,000 monthly pages, distinct from an 8,000-page maximum duty. One-sided speed is up to 21 Letter ppm, separately 20 A4. The original warns that environmental conditions can trigger cooling pauses. For unattended two-sided batches, physical scanning or a wired network jack, choose a configuration that includes those functions.
