I have a small HP laser printer (the M15w).

I don’t do much printing, so I wanted a laser to avoid the issues I’d have from infrequent inkjet use.

I mainly chose it for the small size, I don’t think I’d actually recommend it. The setup process was not good. I tried to set it up using my computer and after several hours I didn’t get anywhere. I was about to return it, but as a last ditch effort I installed HP’s app on my phone, and was setup in 5 minutes. Needing a phone to setup a printer, because their desktop methods didn’t work, was very frustrating. I get that a lot of things are “mobile first” now, but for a printer that feels extremely wrong.

For occasional scanning, I just use my phone these days.
