Hi,

 

I am a school teacher. I love HP products. In my classroom I have a color printer and a black only printer. I recently purchased the M110we LaserJet printer to use in my classroom. It is amazing. The printer was affordable and the ink is affordable with great quality. I can print a ton of sheets on one black ink cartridge. It is convenient that if I need some additional copies of something, I can just print it in my classroom. The major issue that I have is that HP has a setting on the printers that will not allow me to connect for printing without connecting it to Wi-Fi through the HP app. Most school districts, including my school district, will not allow teachers to connect printers to the Wi-Fi because it takes up too much bandwidth.  So about once a month I have to take my printer home, connect it to my home Wi-Fi then bring it back. It will not print using the USB cord until this step is completed. It is very frustrating and an inconvenience. I do not want to purchase another brand of printer, but it is looking like I will have to if I keep having to do this every time.

 

HP Staff if you are reading this: HP will you please allow for this option to be removed or a workaround for teachers.

 

Does anyone know a workaround or a way to make it print without connecting it to the Wi-Fi?

M110we requires an internet connection to a wireless network to be able to work

M110w doesn't need an internet connection to work, it can work with USB only.

M110we can't print using USB only. the printer must be connected to a wireless network with access to the internet.
