Never used a laser before so Tim clued me n on that.
On Amazon there are two options. One is the printer, the other
includes a cartridge, that then is about $160. Did you get a cartridge
for $108?

Hello E.T.,
Remember that, unlike ink cartridges, toner is powder not liquid, so you don't
have to worry about lack of use between printing sessions.
As for capacity, the nice thing about this printer is that the HP Smart app
will always tell you how much toner you have left in terms of percentage.
I think the toner cartridge that ships with the unit is good for about 700
pages. That's a guess as I don't remember. However, you can buy higher
capacity toner cartridges that can last up to 2 thousand pages, on certain
models. It just depends on how much you wish to spend on a cartridge.
As for envelopes, you only need to slide the sheet feeder towards the center
until it stops. That's it. Now, you can simply insert envelopes, lengthwise,
into the sheet feeder. It couldn't be any easier.
Just be certain to buy the unit from Amazon so that if you do not like it, for
any reason, you may return it, hassle-free.
One more thing, when you begin setting up the printer via the ap, HP will try
to sell you a bunch of stuff that you don't need. They will also offer to
setup an HP account for you. Just be certain to select the skip button on all
of those options as they are totally unnecessary. Near the end of the setup
process, HP will tell you that it needs to send you a link to your email
address in order for you to configure the printer on any other device. This is
not true for Apple devices. So, be certain to say no / skip.
When setting up the printer, via the app, it will ask to access your phone's
location. You must say yes to this in order for the app to be able to see your
network. You can revoke this access once the unit is configured.

Nice. This just might be what I want. Couple things I am curious about is,
will the toner remain viable with low usage? And hwo many pages can it print
before the toner needs replacing? Was setting up for envelops easy?
Thanks for sharing this.

Hello All,
I purchased the HP LaserJet Pro M15w Wireless Laser Printer (W2G51A)
from Amazon and I absolutely love it.
It has all of the features I require including the ability to insert
standard mailing envelopes into the sheet feeder as a custom slot.
In order to use this printer, as an AirPrint, printer, you must
download the free HP Smart app, once. You use the app to configure
the printer for use on your network. This is to say, the app
facilitates the ability to enter your network password, etc. As I
said, you only need to do this once as, once done, all Apple devices
can see the printer on the network and you may print to your heart's content.
The app is 100% VoiceOver accessible.
The printer is the tiniest laser printer I've ever seen. It uses a
mini-toner cartridge so it's perfect as a portable laser printer.
Oh, this is not a color laser.
Even when printing photos, it takes less than 10 seconds for the unit
to start printing. When printing documents, the unit begins printing
almost immediately. Of course, this is my experience, your milage may vary.
From what I can tell, most of the negative reviews about the unit, on
Amazon, come from Windows users.
To be clear, you do not need to install any HP software on any of your
Apple devices in order to use the printer, save the HP Smart app, on
one device, to configure the unit. For you more advanced users, the
printer has its own web server so you can log directly into the unit
via a web browser, should you wish.
Although the unit ships with a USB cable, for use with Apple devices,
it is not necessary.
Now, in full disclosure, I have not used the printer with a Windows device.
From what I can tell, the process of configuring the unit is more
complicated on Windows but I cannot speak to that.
The printer costs approximately $110.00 USD.
As for unpacking the unit, it would probably be best to have a sighted
person handy as un-taping the various parts could be challenging for
an inexperienced user. The only assembly is to unpack the toner
cartridge and preparing it for installation.
There are only 3 hardware buttons on the unit that are flush with the
surface but one can certainly put tape on them to mark their location.
Also, the unit makes a definite sound when plugged into the wall so
there can be no doubt as to when the unit is powered up.
Okay, here is the URL for the printer on Amazon.
