Expert Verdict
Hewlett-Packard offers a diverse range of multi-function machines to suit every budget and need. The straightforward LaserJet Pro M1132MFP is one of their most recent products. The frills are stripped away from this inexpensive machine, leaving only the essentials. The LaserJet M1132 MFP is a mono laser printer by HP. While this eliminates color prints, with HP Laserjet Pro M1132mfp Toner Cartridges black text appears excellent and prints rapidly. The M1132 is a compact and somewhat appealing device constructed of black plastic, like many home MFPs.
It's compact enough to fit on even the tiniest of workstations. The fundamental controls are located on the machine's right side and include a pause, power, and three basic navigational control buttons. Three more LEDs indicate various faults or if the HP Laserjet Pro M1132mfp Toner Cartridges are running low, while a simple LCD readout shows the number of scans or prints being done. A minimal paper input tray extends from the front of this simple MFP, exposing part of the paper stack to dust. When not in use, it folds up nicely, however, the output tray is constructed with an extension that cannot be folded away once clipped on. When we utilised the M1132 MFP with a PC, things got a lot better. The print driver's UI is significantly superior to HP's consumer inkjet driver, with settings organised into five tabs. The default Paper/Quality tab has most of the parameters you'll need for most jobs.
Text and grayscale graphics were both printed at 16.5 pages per minute (ppm), and the results were satisfactory with HP Laserjet Pro M1132mfp Toner Cartridges. While the pictures were a little dark, they lacked banding and visible dither patterns, which are two classic mono laser flaws. The sole difficulty was a single blank page that slipped into the output after the paper feed failed to segregate it from the printed page.
A wide range of Windows operating systems is supported by the HP LaserJet Pro M1132 MFP driver, including Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10. It has a 1GHz processor and 1 GB RAM. Windows XP is the other version, which has a 233 MHz processor and 128 MB of RAM. Mac OS X versions 10.4, 10.5, and 10.6 with an Intel Core Processor and 256 MB RAM are supported. For Windows or Macintosh, the file requires a minimum of 2 GB, 128 MB, and 150 MB of free disc space for installation.
This printer has a couple of characteristics that make it a good choice for a busy home office. This is one of the fastest personal laser printers available, with a quick reaction time for the initial print. With HP Laserjet Pro M1132mfp Toner Cartridges, the scanner does a good job of taking up pages of text and printing them back out at near to the same resolution. The possibility to plug and print is also a nice feature. Any computer running Windows can connect via USB and print almost instantly, as the printer's internal memory quickly installs the necessary drivers. The input and output trays are the most obvious oversight. Because neither tray has a cover, the paper must be removed for any extended amount of time if the user does not want dust to smear prints. The HP Laserjet Pro M1132mfp Toner Cartridges, which sit well in the printer next to the single-piece drum, also require some elbow grease to install. The lack of plug-and-print options for Apple laptops running OS X was the only other notable omission.
The HP LaserJet Pro M1132 is a multifunction printer with an energy-saving mode built-in. It will save you a lot of time and money because it uses very little electricity. Even at low power, it works fine in this mode. Fortunately, with a reasonable price, fast printing speed, and high-quality text and graphics with HP Laserjet Pro M1132mfp Toner Cartridges, this printer is worth the price.
