HP LaserJet M111a/ 7MD67A Printer Review: 21 PPM, Compact Design – Is it Worth it?
Introduction
The HP LaserJet M111a/ 7MD67A is marketed as a compact and efficient mono laser printer, ideal for both home and small office use. Its claimed speed of up to 21 pages per minute (ppm) is certainly alluring, but does it deliver on its promises in real-world usage? I’ve spent the last few weeks putting this little printer through its paces, and I’m ready to share my honest assessment.
Key Features
The HP LaserJet M111a boasts a surprisingly compact design, easily fitting onto even the smallest desks. Its key features include a claimed print speed of up to 21 ppm, a 100-sheet input tray, and USB connectivity. Setup was straightforward, taking only a few minutes out of the box.

Performance and Print Quality
In my testing, the HP LaserJet M111a consistently delivered print speeds close to the advertised 21 ppm, though this did vary slightly depending on the document complexity and paper type. Print quality is excellent for a mono laser printer; text is sharp and clear, and graphics are surprisingly detailed considering its compact size and price point. I printed a variety of documents, from simple text documents to complex spreadsheets and even a few grayscale images, and was consistently impressed with the results. The 500 MHz processor handled everything efficiently.
The 100-sheet input tray is sufficient for most home and small office tasks, but frequent printing of larger documents will necessitate more frequent paper refills. Paper jams were thankfully absent during my testing period.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Compact design, fast print speed, excellent print quality for the price, easy setup.
- Cons: Small input tray capacity, only USB connectivity (no Wi-Fi).
Final Verdict
The HP LaserJet M111a/ 7MD67A is a solid performer, offering excellent print quality and speed for its price and size. While the small paper tray might be a limitation for high-volume users, it’s perfectly acceptable for home or small office use. The lack of Wi-Fi connectivity is a slight drawback in today’s connected world, but this is offset by its overall performance and ease of use. I’d happily recommend this printer to anyone looking for a reliable, compact, and efficient mono laser printer.
