Choosing Between HP All-in-One Printers and a Replacement Print Head

A practical printers scanners guide comparing two HP OfficeJet Pro 8135e options, a used HP LaserJet Enterprise MFP M528f, and a ME70 replacement print head.

Last updated Jul 23

Shopping for printers scanners gets tricky when the choices are not all direct substitutes. In this group, three items are complete all-in-one printers, while one is a replacement print head accessory. The right pick depends first on whether you need a working printer setup, a monochrome network machine for heavier office use, a color all-in-one for home-office tasks, or a part for an existing compatible printer.

Quick take

  • Best fit for enterprise-style monochrome work: HP LaserJet Enterprise MFP M528f All-In-One Network Printer ✅Expertly Serviced, because it is a used HP LaserJet Enterprise model with duplex and networkable features.
  • Best lower-priced complete printer here: NEW HP OfficeJet Pro 8135e All-in-One Printer w/3 Months Instant Ink free w/ HP, which is listed below the other HP OfficeJet Pro 8135e option.
  • Best alternate new HP OfficeJet Pro 8135e: HP OfficeJet Pro 8135e All-in-One Printer w/3 Months Instant Ink free w/ HP, if you want the same model family and listed functions with a slightly higher listed price.
  • Best only if you need a part, not a full printer: Print Head ME70 Printhead Print Replacement T1110 Accessories Business, which is a print head package rather than a printer.

Listed price comparison

The listed prices run from USD 37.27 to USD 789.57, so the lowest-priced item is far below the highest-priced complete printer. That spread is mainly because the least expensive item is a replacement print head, while the highest-priced item is a used HP LaserJet Enterprise multifunction printer.

Concise product notes

HP LaserJet Enterprise MFP M528f All-In-One Network Printer ✅Expertly Serviced

This is the clearest choice if you want the most office-oriented complete machine in the group. The HP LaserJet Enterprise MFP M528f is a monochrome multifunction printer, and its attributes include Ethernet, USB 2.0, duplex, networkable features, 1200 x 1200 DPI maximum resolution, 2 GB memory, and 45 ppm black print speed. It also includes copying, scanning, and faxing in the description, which helps explain its much higher listed price compared with the OfficeJet models. The limitation is just as important: it is marked used, and the description states toner not included, so it is not the simplest out-of-box choice among these options.

HP OfficeJet Pro 8135e All-in-One Printer w/3 Months Instant Ink free w/ HP

This HP OfficeJet Pro 8135e is a practical pick for shoppers who want a new all-in-one printer at a midrange listed price in this comparison. It lists print, copy, scan, and fax input type, along with Ethernet and Hi-Speed USB 2.0 connections. The title also includes "3 Months Instant Ink free w/ HP," which may matter if that title feature is part of your printer decision. Its main drawback is the price relationship: it is listed higher than the otherwise very similar NEW HP OfficeJet Pro 8135e option, and the shared gtin indicates the two OfficeJet Pro 8135e entries are closely aligned.

NEW HP OfficeJet Pro 8135e All-in-One Printer w/3 Months Instant Ink free w/ HP

The NEW HP OfficeJet Pro 8135e is the easier OfficeJet Pro 8135e to favor on price, because it is the lower-listed of the two complete new HP OfficeJet Pro 8135e printers here. It keeps the same core appeal: new condition, all-in-one print, copy, scan, and fax wording, Ethernet, and Hi-Speed USB 2.0 connections. The description also frames it as a professional color inkjet printer for a home office and mentions fax. The tradeoff is that it is still an inkjet-style home-office option rather than the monochrome LaserJet Enterprise model with listed 45 ppm black print speed and networkable duplex features.

Print Head ME70 Printhead Print Replacement T1110 Accessories Business

The Print Head ME70 Printhead Print Replacement T1110 Accessories Business belongs in a different decision lane. Choose it only when your goal is to replace a print head rather than buy a complete printer. It is marked new, uses ABS material, and the package contents are listed as **1 * print head**. The description names compatibility with several printer models, including ME70, T1110, T1100, L1300, and others. Its limitation is that it will not solve a need for a standalone all-in-one printer: it has no listed print, copy, scan, or fax function because it is an accessory part.

How to choose between them

Start by separating full printers from the replacement part. If you need a complete machine, the ME70 print head should drop out of consideration unless it matches a printer you already own and your purchase goal is repair-related. Its USD 37.27 listed price is low because it is a component, not a full printers scanners setup.

Next, decide between monochrome enterprise-style use and new color all-in-one use. The HP LaserJet Enterprise MFP M528f is the only LaserJet Enterprise model in this set and the only one with the listed 45 ppm black print speed, 2 GB memory, duplex, and networkable features. That makes it the strongest match for a buyer prioritizing monochrome throughput and network use. The counterweight is condition and operating readiness: it is used, and toner is not included.

The two HP OfficeJet Pro 8135e choices are much closer to each other. Both are new, both list print, copy, scan, and fax, and both show Ethernet plus Hi-Speed USB 2.0 connectivity. The main visible difference is the listed price: USD 179.98 for the title beginning with "NEW" versus USD 189.99 for the other HP OfficeJet Pro 8135e. If you are comparing only those two and the shared model wording fits your needs, the lower listed price has the clearer appeal.

Final recommendation

For most shoppers seeking a complete new all-in-one, the NEW HP OfficeJet Pro 8135e All-in-One Printer w/3 Months Instant Ink free w/ HP is the most straightforward pick because it combines new condition, print/copy/scan/fax wording, Ethernet and USB connectivity, and the lower of the two OfficeJet Pro 8135e listed prices.

Choose the HP LaserJet Enterprise MFP M528f All-In-One Network Printer ✅Expertly Serviced instead if monochrome office performance matters more than price, especially with its listed 45 ppm black print speed, duplex, networkable features, and Ethernet support. Choose the HP OfficeJet Pro 8135e All-in-One Printer w/3 Months Instant Ink free w/ HP if you prefer that specific OfficeJet Pro 8135e entry despite the higher OfficeJet listed price. Choose the Print Head ME70 Printhead Print Replacement T1110 Accessories Business only for a print-head replacement purchase, not as a printer purchase.
