The HP Color Laser MFP 179fnw is an entry-level color laser all-in-one (print, scan, copy, fax) for home offices and very small businesses. It prints up to 19 ppm in black and 4 ppm in color at 600 x 600 dpi, driven by an 800 MHz processor with 128 MB of memory and a 2-line LCD.
A 40-page document feeder handles multi-page copies and faxes, the input tray holds 150 sheets, and it connects over USB, Ethernet and Wi-Fi. HP rates the duty cycle at up to 20,000 pages a month, which is plenty for light color work.
Toner is the HP 116A family, and the separate HP 120A imaging drum (about 16,000 pages) is available as a genuine HP original from GS Toner.
