Customer Ratings & Reviews

Unpacking and setting up this printer was straightforward - remove from box, remove the pieces of tape from around the printer, connect the power cable, and finally connect the network cable. Do note that for this particular model (4301fdn), it is not a "wireless" printer that you connect to your network wirelessly - you must connect the printer to your network via an ethernet cable. There is a model that allows you to connect via wireless (4301fdw), but this model is not it. With the default settings, computers on the same network (both Windows and Mac) were able to communicate with the printer, install the correct drivers, and print (and scan). Using the web interface to adjust various setting was also straightforward - you need the pin that you get from where you would install toner cartages (the various toner color one came pre-installed). Do note that when I turned on the firewall on the web interface (without adding any rules), it did prevent me from accessing the web interface until I reset it - so just be aware of what you are doing. HP claims that this printer is "blazingly fast" and they are correct. From "sleep" mode to printing something it take a couple seconds. The color resolution is up to 600dpi and printing a photo on glossy paper yielded very nice results. It is by no means a professional quality photo printer, but I really don't have a need for that type of printer. While using this printer, I came across two minor issues. The first was the update. I updated the firmware via the web interface and it seemed to go well and then it just said it failed to update. However, once I restarted the printer, it said it was on the latest firmware. The second issue was using "Tray 1". In the old Multifunction laser printer, when using the manual feed tray (in this case it was Tray 1), the printer would use that for any print jobs. This is useful in that when you want to use special quality paper (say glossy), you would just open the manual feed tray and the printer would automatically choose that. Unfortunately, this was not the case here and the firmware update did not fix this issue either. I did get around this by opening Tray 2 (which contains the bulk plain paper), so it was forced to use Tray 1, but this was an annoyance. Overall, this has been a great printer so far and I would recommend this to anyone that needs a color multi-function laser printer.

If you're looking for a new business printer that blows the competition out of the water, the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4301fdn is the one to get! Unboxing and Setup This HP printer comes very well packaged and is very easy to unbox. HP even includes picture guides on removing the printer from the box, and the shipping materials are straightforward to unpack. Once you've unpacked the printer, it's just a matter of loading blank paper and plugging it in. Initial Impressions This printer lives up to the "Blazing Fast" printing speeds advertised. Historically, color laser printers have been clunky and slow, but I was amazed at how quickly this printer printed full-color pages, and the print quality is definitely professional-grade. In addition to being great at printing, the document feeder makes scanning documents with multiple pages a breeze - you can even scan double-sided documents, saving a lot of time! After getting the printer set up, I was able to easily print from my laptop and iPhone without any additional setup required - it just worked right out of the box. Pros - The printer is fast - whether you're printing in color or black and white, you won't miss a beat (or a deadline). - The document feeder makes scanning multiple pages a snap - you can also use the regular scanner for documents you can't run through the feeder. - If you need to quickly scan something, you can do so right from the touch screen and send it to yourself through email. No USB drive is required, although this printer supports USB drives too! Cons - The printer is a bit bulkier than your standard laser printer - but not by much, and you get many more features in exchange for the slightly bulkier form factor. - This printer does not have WiFi built-in, so you'll need to hardwire it to your network - not a significant drawback, and you'll ensure that your printer is always available and doesn't randomly disconnect when you need it most. Overall If you're looking for a printer that can easily meet the needs of a small team or your small business, look no further than the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4301fdn - I love using this printer, and it makes my overall printing experience a pleasant one.

Setup out of the box was very easy since the printer has the laser cartridges already installed. This laser printer has a smaller footprint than I was expecting. For basic operation it’s just plug and play. My wow moment was two fold - the quality of the color prints (including photos) and how remarkably fast the first print is generated. Another observation is how it was easily recognized by my phone for wireless printing. Overall this printer is a bargain based on the performance, size and quality.

I recently purchased this HP Color LaserJet Pro 4301fdn and after about one week of use, I am very impressed. The print quality, speed and capability of this device are outstanding and will be perfect for a small office or even a family of four or more! We homeschool our children, so having the ability to easily print, scan and copy double-sided documents effortlessly is a big advantage. HP has decreased the operating noise and device footprint, which allows us to place this printer in a much more convenient location in our home. This is a huge win as it is much more convenient than where we had our previous printer. A very cool feature of this printer is the ability to print what HP calls QuickForms. Ever needed some notebook paper or graphing paper but you didn't have any in your home or office? No need to run to the store as the HP QuickForms has you covered. Easily print Notebook Paper (College/Wide/Child Ruled), Graphing Paper, Checklists (1 or 2 Column) or blank Music Staffs. This feature, in my opinion, is ingenious! The copy/scan function (double-sided, aka duplex) is outstanding as the colors are very faithfully reproduced. This has been a problem with other brands of multi-function printers, so it was a pleasant surprise to see that the colors are copied quickly and accurately through the automatic document feeder and flatbed scanner. Need to scan or copy from a hardcover book or something large? This is not a problem with the HP Color LaserJet Pro 4301fdn as the touch panel display folds flat so you can lay your oversized document or book down flat on the scanner bed. Easy and convenient and it makes scanning so much easier than competitors devices. Printing from our Windows, Mac and Chromebook devices over our home network is fast and the resulting documents and images are top-notch. I've come to expect this from HP over the years and this printer is no exception. Even my wife commented how nice her work documents come out of the printer compared to our old competitors device. The ability to print duplex (double-sided) has helped us to reduce our paper use as well and who doesn't like that? The toner cartridges are easy to access and replace. Simply press the button on the left side and the front panel opens and slides down. Pull out the toner cartridge drawer and replace the toner cartridge in seconds. If you are in the market for a new home or office printer, I highly recommend the HP Color LaserJet Pro 4301fdn.

I recently purchased the HP LaserJet Pro 4301fdn Color All-in-One Laser Printer for my family to use for school, work, and personal use. I upgraded for a black and white laser printer, and it is a fantastic upgrade. Not having color for the kids’ projects for school has been a big negative and this printer performs like no other printer I have had before. I was able to unbox and setup the printer in minutes and I was on my way to printing. This printer is designed for an office to use by multiple people but its perfect for my house as I have multiple people doing different tasks with the printer. Even though the printer is connected to a wired network connection it is available on my wireless for all my computers, iPhones, and iPads to print from directly. Using the HP Smart app on my phone and laptop is a gamechanger. After opening my printer to the cloud, I can use the HP Smart app on my laptop or phone and print while I am out and about. I cannot tell you how many times I have been checking my email outside the house and needed to print something when I got home but forgot. Now all I must do is have any internet connection on my laptop or phone and I am able to print in real time to my HP printer at home and its ready and waiting for me when I get home. Another thing I do is scan documents from the printer to my email so I can send the document off to someone via PDF or other type using the sheet feeder on top of the printer. I can put in multiple pages and using the HP Smart app via my phone or laptop I can scan the documents in real time to my device and save or edit as needed. Overall, I have no negative complaints about this printer. For the average family it a litter bigger and heavier than a typical home all in one ink jet printer, but I love having LaserJet over inkjet, as ink is so expensive, dries out and it does not last as long as laser toner. Yes, toner cartridges might cost a little more than ink cartridges up front, but toner will last far longer, and you get far more bang for your buck. HP has even made it easier to never run out of ink with their HP Instant Ink program. By paying a small amount of money a month based on your printer needs, you will never run out of toner as once you are running low, HP will ship a new toner straight to your house. Looking back after this upgrade from a HP black and white LaserJet printer to this printer I will never go back. This printer has everything I need, black and white printing, color printing, scanning, copies and even fax if you still need.

I recently acquired the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4301fdn Printer, and it is nothing short of a revelation. Its sleek design complements our modern workspace aesthetics, and the smooth printing process is a dream come true. All-in-One Solution for Teams Effortless Functionality This printer is a powerhouse. Beyond basic printing, it offers scanning, copying, and faxing capabilities. The professional-quality color documents it produces are impressive. The auto 2-sided printing and the auto document feeder boost our efficiency, making scanning and copying a breeze. User-Friendly Interface The device simplifies our workflow with its user-friendly interface. The 'simple shortcuts' feature is a standout, allowing us to complete everyday tasks with just a touch. It is all about doing more in fewer steps. Performance and Speed Rapid and Vivid Color Printing. Speed is a game-changer with this printer. Printing up to 35 color pages per minute is a workhorse that does not compromise quality. The sharp details and vibrant colors in each print are remarkable. Management and Connectivity Easy Fleet Management. Managing our print fleet has never been easier. The robust tools provided help us centrally manage our printer with ease. Adding and updating devices, solutions, and policies is straightforward, saving us valuable time. Versatile Printing Options The printer's compatibility with various devices enhances its versatility. Printing is seamless whether it's a mobile device, PC, or tablet. Its Ethernet inclusion and compatibility with Microsoft, Mac, AirPrint, Android, and Chromebook systems perfectly fits our diverse tech environment. Security and Sustainability Uncompromised Data Security Data security is paramount; this printer delivers with HP Wolf Pro Security. The customizable settings ensure that our printer and information remain secure. Commitment to Sustainability The redesigned Original HP TerraJet Cartridge is a step forward in sustainable printing. It significantly reduces plastic use and energy consumption, aligning with our commitment to environmental responsibility. Eco-Friendly Paper Usage The default duplex setting is a thoughtful addition, reducing our paper usage by printing on both sides of each page. It's an effective way to trim down waste. Energy Efficiency HP's Auto-On/Auto-Off technology is a testament to its commitment to sustainability. It optimizes the printer's energy usage, reducing our carbon footprint and energy costs. Final Thoughts The HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4301fdn Printer is a standout product for small teams. Its blend of speed, functionality, security, and commitment to sustainability makes it an essential asset for any modern office. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to elevate their printing experience while contributing positively to the environment.

This printer has super speedy prints, vibrant colors, and a no-fuss setup (just a power cable and a friendly pamphlet). Sure, it skips the Wi-Fi party, but that wired connection keeps things reliable and moving fast. It's a productivity powerhouse for home offices and small teams, all in a compact package. I love how quickly is prints my daughters coloring pages for school. So simple! I had no issues connecting and settting up. This was an amazing purchase! My family is enjoying printing high quality photos using this printer. Definitely something worthwhile for the long run

The Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4301fdn is revolutionizing printing setups. You can bid farewell to the era of cumbersome ink cartridges and limited functionality. This game-changing printer is a true marvel in the world of printing technology! Packaging: One box, everything was already installed. No fumbling with ink or toner. Great time saver.

Space-Saving Design: Our workspace feels liberated with the compact footprint of this printer, reclaiming valuable real estate without compromising on performance. In conclusion, this printer has exceeded our expectations, seamlessly integrating into our workflow with its exceptional quality, hassle-free setup, and multifaceted capabilities.

This is easily the best printer that I've ever owned! I just started back at graduate school and both my wife and I work from home. We needed something that could easily handle the demands of my school research and writing projects as well as both of our work documents and proposals that we regularly need to print. Having a network printer, that could be centrally located was a must. The HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4301 met all these requirements...and more! Out-of-the-box setup was effortless, and I had this printer up and running in no time. As soon as I connected it to the network, it phoned home and downloaded the latest firmware package. The paper tray holds a lot of paper so we don't need to worry about the printer running out of paper in the middle of a print. Also, HP's app, available for both desktop and mobile operating systems, makes network printing on-the-go effortless due to HP's cloud integration. The bed scanner or document feed scanner is very fast and produces great results. From the menu, you can choose to have a document sent via email as a PDF or other document options. I usually always prefer PDF, but it is nice to have other options if you need a scan of a passport or other document that needed to be in a JPEG, or similar, file format. One of the first things that I printed was a photo from a recent vacation. The print quality was superb, very fast, and extremely quiet. For both school and work, I can trust that I will only be submitting the utmost professional quality prints. Also, with it being a LaserJet, I don't have to worry about clogged or dried-up ink heads that are so common on InkJets. My last printer, also an HP LaserJet, only printed in B/W. While it may have lacked the color and MFP capabilities, it is over 20 years old and is still going strong. This is a huge testament to the quality of products that HP makes. This would make a great addition to any small business or power user families alike.

I received the Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4301fdn at the perfect time. I'm a CPA, and tax season is just starting. I needed a reliable printer, and in the past, HP has always delivered the best. It's no different in this case. This particular model's connectivity is ethernet only as compared to the 4301fdw which has wifi/bluetooth. In my case I only needed it to be wired/connected to my network. I always feel wired is the fastest and most reliable connection. Setup was simple and fast. I personally did not require the instructions as I have set up many HP printers before. I plugged it in, connected it to the network, and downloaded the HP software. I really like the blue accents which makes the printer stand out. That may not be the most important thing, but a client came in and mentioned it, so it does get some attention. The display panel is easy to read, and makes maneuvering through the printer settings a breeze. I can also adjust settings from the PC. It prints fairly fast, but I did not time it against the up to 35ppm as advertised. It takes around 10 seconds for the first page to print, and then it's off to the races. For my office needs, the 600x600dpi is more than adequate. If you are relying on photos and other more demanding color printing, it may not be good enough for your particular needs. It's rated for up to 50,000 pages per month which is great since I print out a lot of tax returns, although it's recommended to print between 750 to 4,000 pages (I did not research the why to this compared to the monthly duty cycle. HP does disclaim that this printer is designed for HP toner that has a built-in chip for authentication, so I would think if you use 3rd party toner you may want to think about it. At this early stage, I am very happy with this printer as I always am with HP printers. The real test will come in the heart of tax season. Regardless, I would recommend this printer.

I suppose my needs are a bit more then your typical home use, but not quiet the level of a small business. All the same, this laser printer has been a welcomed addition to our home. I work from home and my wife home schools our four kids, all to say, we do our fare share of printing even in this digital age. This printer was easy to setup straight out of the box, FYI, it is quiet heavy so watch your back lifting, however it gave me immediate confidence that this printer was solid and well made. One of the best features that we really enjoy is the ability to print quality printed content using the HP Smart app. We printed graph paper (pictured) for home school and graphing activities. Though there is a huge array of content from holiday images to work searches and more. It saves the hassle of having to search the internet and it can all be done from your phone and sent directly to the printer. There is also the high yield cartridge you can get, however they are a bit pricey. With that said, I find the value of these way better then my recent experience with inkjet printers; which never seem to last or if you have a break in use they seem to dry out or call for needing to be replaced. All over, this is a top notch printer that the family is getting a lot of use and value of.

This is my first laser printer and I love it. It’s super fast and has multiple features. Dual scanning is a unique feature that I never knew I needed but now won’t be able to do without. It’s lightning fast and prints from all devices to boot. It has both Ethernet and mobile connectivity which is key. It also has an amazing auto correct for paper jams. I had to get rid of my last printer because it wouldn’t stop jamming so this is especially relevant for me. I only took one star away because it is huge.

This laser color printer is awsome! all toner's are already installed, just pull all the white tapes off, plug it in and pretty much it's ready to go. the colors this thing print out is amazing! Bright and deep colors. Very easy to setup with wifi or direct. Very impressive

The HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4301fdn packs a punch for its compact size. This all-in-one printer excels in high-speed, professional-quality printing, making it ideal for small teams of up to 10 users. Blazing print speeds of 35 pages per minute in both black and white and color keep workflows moving, while automatic two-sided printing saves paper and time. True-to-life colors and sharp details ensure every document looks polished and impressive. Beyond printing, the 4301fdn shines as a versatile multifunction device. The flatbed scanner and automatic document feeder handle single and multi-page scans with ease, while the copier function delivers quick and clear reproductions. Faxing capabilities round out the package, making it a one-stop shop for all your document needs. Setup is a breeze, and HP Web Jetadmin simplifies printer management, allowing you to easily add and update devices and solutions. Built-in Wi-Fi and mobile printing options keep everyone connected and productive. Security is also top-notch, with advanced network protection features keeping your data safe. While the 4301fdn is relatively bulky and its toner cartridges can be expensive, its feature-packed performance and ease of use make it a compelling choice for small businesses and workgroups demanding high-quality output and efficient document management.

For the past few years, I've been thinking about adding a color laser printer to my home office. I’m a seasoned 20-year IT professional with a passion for technology. Having installed numerous ones in commercial spaces, I understand their convenience and efficiency. Choosing the right model from the get-go is crucial. HP, along with maybe one other brand, often comes to mind as my preferred choice. The exclusion of WIFI makes the HP 4301fdn stands out for printing sensitive documents whether in a large department or a personal office. Despite its multifunctionality, its size is manageable; it's somewhat taller and deeper than some might prefer for home offices, but its overall footprint is comparable to many high capacity personal inkjet printers. Pros: - The printer operates quietly. Being just a few feet away, it neither bothers nor distracts me. - It delivers fast and detailed prints in both color and black & white. - Scanning is quick and produces sharp details. - The manual feed easily accommodates legal-sized paper and bond paper without jamming. - Features a large, responsive, and accurate touchscreen display. - Produces vibrant photos, though not quite a substitute for a dedicated photo printer. - Comes with a 250-sheet tray, and there's an optional 550-sheet tray for busier settings. Cons: - The absence of Wi-Fi might be a significant drawback for some. - Its clinical appearance could use a dash of style like the HP Envy lineup (a personal quibble). - I would have appreciated Wi-Fi as an optional feature rather than it being omitted altogether, though I recognize the security concerns in certain office environments. In summary, if you're in the market for a dependable printer with a range of features for either a small or large office, the HP LaserJet Pro MFC 4301fdn is an excellent choice.

This has been a very good printer. The document feeder is a game changer for our home office - makes it very easy and efficient to scan multiple pages. Works great printing from our PCs and iPhones. Double sided printing saves paper. Delivery was quick and box arrived in great shape. When the printer is left on for more than 6 hours it needs to be restarted in order to print again or communicate with desktop management software. This is a little inconvenient, but manageable. Good solid printer with many great features.

I've used this printer for about a week and I can confidently say it is very good. The document feeder is a game changer for my home office - makes it very easy and efficient to scan multiple pages. Works great printing from my laptop and samsung (android) phone. The mobile app to download is very fast to pair and allows me to do almost any type of printing when I'm not on my pc. Double sided printing saves paper. I have two complaints - The box arrived damaged. I chose the pick up option at Best Buy and when the associate loaded the item in my car, I had to ask him if it's been opened and used since it was torn in several place. Luckily, this was just the larger package box and the printer was protected inside. My second complaint is that it doesn't stay on. It will power off after several hours, for power saving, but this is annoying when I'm trying to print from another room and have to go manually turn it on. Overall, it's a solid printer with fast and clear printing and I would recommend it.

My family and I had been using an black and white laser and a color inkjet combo for the longest time. The laser was for fast economical, high quality prints and got the highest use. The inkjet was used sparingly and the ink was uauallyndry when in I needed to print a picture or two. This printer completely changed my workflow and output mechanism. Now I can print reliably in color or black and white anytime and all the time. The lack of wireless printing was a real bummer and I hope a software update down the line fixes that. Overall, we are very happy with the purchase and loved the saved space, ease of setup and printing and best of all the quality is amazing.

I upgraded to this printer for my home office from an earlier HP inkjet printer. The performance and cost/efficiency of laser were the main drivers, as well as better network access and duplex scanning via a document feeder. The printer is very fast for a home printer, printing faster than the warm-up cycle I've experienced in other laser printers. Networking support is excellent, as long as you aren't looking for Wifi from this particular model. For my Macintosh printers, it works without any drivers, and the Bonjour support provides easy access to guests on my wireless network. I was surprised at how well the colors turned out when I printed two somewhat difficult test photos from my albums onto plain paper. An inkjet will still beat the quality, especially with darker areas, but it was substantially better than I anticipated. I don't anticipate any problem with color graphics on business documents. This printer can scan either via the document feeder or via the bed. The document feeder does fairly good document quality at up to 300 dpi, but the bed scanner is significantly better at 1200 dpi. After configuration, you can scan directly from the printer to USB or to a number of other configured network sources including directly to network storage. The network security features are otherwise difficult to speak to, since they scale well beyond my home office needs. All in all, I am very happy with this printer. It performs better than every previous printer I've used except in photo printing, which inkjets are somewhat purpose-built for.

For too long I had an all in one inkjet printer. It was fine but, scanning multiple pages required a long process of place, scan, remove, place, scan and so on. I finally decided it would be worth it to get a better office printer and my only regret is not doing this earlier. This all in one does it all and it does it so fast. With scanning you can use the top tray and it even has an option for double sided scanning so you just place the entire stock up top and within seconds it’s all available on my computer. With printing the listed speed is 35 pages per minute but, it feels like it’s actually faster than that. Hit print and seconds later everything is printed in amazing detail and color. This machine has really simplified my life and it’s so user friendly. Before transitioning to working from home I was used to one of those big copy machines that took an advanced degree to figure out all its features. This HP 4201fdn retains pretty much all the features for 1/4 of the size and 1/10 of the price and is easy to use either by the on printer touch pad or the HP smart app/software. It also lets you setup profiles for multiple users if you’re using this in a small office. For a long time I thought I could get by with a slower printer but, this is well worth the cost for the value you get and the only downfall is I could never go back to using an inkjet again.
