The HP LaserJet Pro M12 series (M12a and M12w) is HP's smallest LaserJet, a personal monochrome laser printer built for home offices and dorm rooms where desk space is tight. It prints up to 19 pages per minute on letter paper (18 on A4) with 600 x 600 dpi output for clean text, and the M12w adds Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct so phones, tablets and laptops can print without cables.
A 150-sheet input tray and 100-sheet output bin cover light daily printing, an LED control panel keeps operation simple, and the printer connects over Hi-Speed USB 2.0. Two-sided printing is manual, and HP rates the M12 for up to 5,000 pages a month. It uses the HP 79A black toner cartridge, which GS Toner stocks as genuine HP.
