Summary: Which Printer Should You Choose?

Choose M111A Black & White Laser if you need:

  • A single-function printer connected directly to a computer through Hi-Speed USB 2.0.
  • Monochrome laser printing at 20 ppm with a resolution of 600 × 600 dpi.
  • A compact 3.8 kg design measuring 346 × 189 × 159 mm.

Choose M111w Black & White Laser if you need:

  • Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n connectivity in addition to USB.
  • Direct wireless printing through Wi-Fi Direct without relying on a cable.
  • Mobile printing through Apple AirPrint, Mopria, and the HP app.

Decision: The M111w is the best overall choice because it retains the same print speed, resolution, paper capacity, and compact dimensions while adding wireless and mobile printing options unavailable on the M111A. The M111A remains suitable when USB-only printing meets your needs.

What Is the Difference Between HP LaserJet M111A Black & White Printer and HP LaserJet M111w Black & White Printer?

The two printers are nearly identical in their core printing specifications. Both use monochrome laser technology, print A4 documents at 20 ppm, deliver 600 × 600 dpi resolution, and produce the first page in 8.5 seconds. They also share a 150-sheet input tray, 100-sheet output capacity, 3.8 kg weight, and dimensions of 346 × 189 × 159 mm. Neither model supports automatic duplex printing or Ethernet.

The meaningful difference is connectivity. The M111A uses Hi-Speed USB 2.0 and is explicitly listed without wireless connectivity or Wi-Fi Direct. The M111w combines USB with 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n and Wi-Fi Direct. It also supports Apple AirPrint, Mopria, and the HP app for mobile printing. These additions do not change print speed or quality, but they provide more ways to send documents to the printer.

The M111A suits users who print from one computer through USB and do not require wireless access. The M111w is better suited to users who want to print from multiple computers or mobile devices without connecting each device by cable.
