HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 3301sdw A4 Colour Multifunction Printer
Designed for business work teams that need professional performance with fast, high-quality color printing, scanning and copying, laser productivity, and award-winning reliability in a space-saving design. Dynamic security enabled printer Certain HP printers are intended to work only with cartridges that have a new or reused HP chip or electronic circuitry. These printers use dynamic security measures to block cartridges using a non-HP chip or electronic circuitry. Periodic firmware updates will maintain the effectiveness of these measures and block cartridges that previously worked. Reused HP chips and electronic circuitry enable the use of reused, remanufactured, and refilled cartridges.

Do not fear setting this printer up if you’re like me and have absolutely zero tech skills. I was able to get this up and running by myself in about 5 minutes, and that included reading through the instructions. The set up is super simple - quite honestly the hardest part was just getting the printer out of the box! (Printer is a bit heavy, especially while still in the packaging, but I was still able to get it upstairs and unboxed without assistance)I set this printer up in my home office since we are still working hybrid and I do a decent amount of printing. It’s pretty compact in size for all it can do, but it slightly overhangs the filing cabinet I set it on. This doesn’t affect performance, and the printer isn’t wobbly at all. I love that it’s a light color - ... MoreDo not fear setting this printer up if you’re like me and have absolutely zero tech skills.

The print quality is exceptional too - I was shocked at how crisp and clean it printed a photo I did as a test. The picture included in this review does the print quality no justice - the colors are vibrant, there’s no smudging, looks like I had the photos printed at a print shop. I also love that this machine can scan and copy, which will make work so much easier. I love that I won’t have to wait for an office day to check some tasks off my to do list since I can now get them done at home. I especially love that the printer is WiFi enabled and was super easy to print from my phone too.

This printer immediately replaced my former printer as the go-to for both of us. I was able to quickly print packing slips and invoices for 40 orders in less than a minute. The lines are crisp and clean with no smearing.I would highly recommend this printer for a small business or family with multiple members that need to print regularly.I received this item from the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

The MPF 3301sdw Color LaserJet Pro by HP is a fully loaded and multifunctional printer that specifically targets small business owners and home user professionals. When I first picked up this box, I was initially surprised by the weight. At just over 45 pounds, this printer is built like a tank yet is compact enough to fit into tight spaces with a mere 16 inches in width. This fit perfectly on my stand. I could go into depth about all the features this printer is equipped with but I will just cover the basics. As a color laser jet, this printer is extremely fast compared to ink jets with 26 pages per minute. It is extremely quiet, in fact, if it wasn't right next to my desk, I wouldn't even know it printed anything.

I could go into depth about all the features this printer is equipped with but I will just cover the basics. As a color laser jet, this printer is extremely fast compared to ink jets with 26 pages per minute. It is extremely quiet, in fact, if it wasn't right next to my desk, I wouldn't even know it printed anything. It will print double sided pages automatically, I tested it and couldn't be more impressed. Trying to double side print on a printer that doesn't support it and get the orientation right is an extremely frustrating experience! The touchscreen is easy to navigate and a very bright display that turns off when not in use. The scanner is very clear and fast as well. With HP's Smart apps (Windows Mac, iOS and Android), you have a seamlessly integrated experience although several features are locked behind a paid subscription (particularly on mobile). However, having an Android phone, I can print without the need of using the mobile app due to the full functionality of Wi-Fi print in both Windows and my Google Pixel 8 Pro Android phone.The only downside with this model is it doesn't feature fax. But then again, in 10 years, I never used the fax feature on my previous printer. Does anyone use fax these days? If that is a problem than HP has a model with that feature thrown in the mix but with modern day emailing and a few inches shorter, I think the 3301sdw is a must have for the small business owners or home users who want a professional printer for their needs!
This is my second HP color laser printer, and it’s been about 5 years since my last one. I am impressed with the small footprint of this newer multi-function printer, as it is relatively compact compared to ones I’ve been using recently. It measures 16.5 in wide, 13 in tall, and 14.75 in deep, weighing a little under 38 lbs. Extending the lower tray for legal size paper increases the depth to 17 in while opening the scanner lid tops out at 21.5 in tall. You will also need to leave at least 10 inches clearance behind the unit if you want to be able to open the rear access panel to clear paper jams.This printer has a built-in scanner with a 50-sheet capacity auto-document feeder (ADF) on top that can handle single-sided scanning of up to 20 pages per min (ppm) for ... MoreThis is my second HP color laser printer, and it’s been about 5 years since my last one. I am impressed with the small footprint of this newer multi-function printer, as it is relatively compact compared to ones I’ve been using recently. It measures 16.5 in wide, 13 in tall, and 14.75 in deep, weighing a little under 38 lbs. Extending the lower tray for legal size paper increases the depth to 17 in while opening the scanner lid tops out at 21.5 in tall. You will also need to leave at least 10 inches clearance behind the unit if you want to be able to open the rear access panel to clear paper jams.This printer has a built-in scanner with a 50-sheet capacity auto-document feeder (ADF) on top that can handle single-sided scanning of up to 20 pages per min (ppm) for black and white and up to 9 ppm for color scans. You can also scan documents one at a time on the flatbed scanner glass. Both the original and printout return trays have flip-out stops for handling larger stacks.There are two paper trays though note that tray 1 is simply a manual load slot just above the main paper tray; this slot is useful for one-off custom media like envelopes and cardstock. The main paper tray, marked 2, has a 250-sheet max capacity and can handle media sizes from 3x5 in to 8.4x14 in (legal-size) if the tray’s front is extended. Note that the extended tray will stick out a couple inches from the front of the machine, and there is no option to add an additional tray to increase its paper capacity.The printer can be setup and controlled via the on-board, tilt-able, color LCD touchscreen; the screen is bright, user-friendly, and intuitive. Setup takes about 5 minutes, and the only issue I ran into was that the date could not be modified when formatted as “MM-DD-YYYY” as the values would revert after hitting “Apply;” however, after selecting a different format, I was able to update the date and change the format back with the correct values intact.This printer can be connected to your home LAN network via WiFi, Ethernet, or USB-B (cables not included). You can initiate a scan, copy, or print from USB as well as change the machine’s settings and check its supply and maintenance status by swiping over to different icons on the screen. Note that to access administrative settings, you’ll need to enter an admin PIN; the default PIN can be found on the sticker behind the front panel. For businesses, the printer can be managed remotely via HP Smart Admin, an online, multi-printer, cloud-based dashboard.The machine comes with 4 pre-installed starter cartridges: black, magenta, cyan, and yellow with yields of 600 pages for black and white and 500 for color respectively. With OEM replacement toner in standard and high-yield capacities with page yields of 1300/3000 respectively for black and 1200/2500 for color, this puts the average price per print slightly on the high side. One thing to note is that HP toner cartridges have microchips on them, and if you enable cartridge protection, it will permanently lock those cartridges to your machine (so they cannot be removed and used elsewhere). There’s also an “Authorized HP cartridge policy” setting that when enabled prevents the use of third-party toners, however, you will still need a compatible chip on any new cartridge for it to work; these settings are toggled off by default. HP cartridges are also recyclable via their free Planet Partners program.When printing, the maximum output is 26 ppm with a max resolution of 600x600 dpi. Text is sharp and crisp with even line spacing and clean edges. Printed photographs are stunning with lively colors, clean transitions, and smooth gradients without any sign of banding. While clarity and accuracy tends to be very good with the default calibration, colors can appear slightly darker than on screen and may need some fine tuning.For scans, the max resolution is 300 dpi using the ADF and up to 1200 dpi on the flatbed. You have the option to scan directly to email, network folder, Sharepoint, USB, or to computer. Note that you will need to install the HP Scanning software on your computer in order to scan to it. When scanning from the printer’s control panel, by default the scan utility will crop any bounding white space instead of outputting the entire scan area which results in losing your page margins. To change this, you must use the web interface or the HP Scan utility on a computer to change the settings from “Detect Content” to “Entire Scan Area” and make sure to save these changes; oddly, there’s no way to change this behavior from the on-board controls.I found that the scans and copies produced by this machine are quite good, but not perfect. With text documents, I noticed a bit of stretching/compression of the font size depending on the line of text and a general upward shift to text on the page by a few pixels when comparing the copy to the original. Colors, though, remained accurate even with the max of 300dpi resolution. When scanning at higher resolutions, the scanning process takes longer, and the resolution is so granular you can practically see each point of toner in the scanned image file. In general, I found copies and scans retain a lot of fine details and textures in nearly photographic quality at 300 dpi and above.The main drawback for this model is that it is not able to perform duplex or 2-sided scanning/copying in a single pass; however, you can convert 1-sided pages into 2-sided prints using the ADF and then back again. This means that if you have a stack of 2-sided originals, you would first need to make copies of the even numbered sides, collate them into the stack, and then scan/copy as single-sided originals.One thing I will say is that the machine is quite loud when operating (around 51 dBA), and you’ll notice this during the machine’s warm upon turning on, waking from sleep, and printing; however, in sleep mode it is completely silent. There’s also an energy saving mode that will turn the printer off completely after a period of inactivity (1 to 8 hours), but you will have to press the power button to turn it on again later.Despite updating to the latest firmware, there’s a function on the control panel that doesn’t appear finished called “GalleryApp.” It’s unclear what this function is for, and when I entered it, there were tons of place holders, dummy text, and menus that you can get stuck in and can’t exit without restarting the machine. Hopefully, this will be fixed or removed in a future firmware update.WiFi connectivity and direct-connect options make the printer easy to use with a variety of devices, and I found the network connection to be stable and reliable. The HP Smart mobile app also works pretty well, and it’s easy to add the printer and print from your phone. However, I wasn’t able to get the scan to phone nor the walk-up scan to USB thumb drive features to work.Overall, the print quality from the 3301sdw is excellent. Text is clear and easy to read and colors are well-saturated, accurate, and vibrant. Printing, scanning, and copying are quick, though there may be some small visible differences between the original and copy. While there are a few features I couldn’t get to work properly, these could potentially be fixed in future firmware or software updates. This printer won’t be ideal for those that need to scan or make lots of copies of 2-sided documents, but for everything else I think it works great.

A fan of these HP compact color laser printers as they have everything, well almost for a home office or small business. Where I continue to see HP fall short is on the automatic document feeder (ADF) duplex scanning ability. It’ seems to be a give and take on this; if you can find it, then a needed feature is removed. Some cases, it’s easily dealt with, but why not include it now as a standard? There’s also a fax option still included when most have gone digital these days and not everyone still uses a standard home line.Out of the box this color laser printer is easy to setup after all the orange tape been removed. There’s an easy walk through on how to load the toner cartridges to the unit. Useful if this is new to you, may not be for others already familiar. ... MoreA fan of these HP compact color laser printers as they have everything, well almost for a home office or small business.

There’s an easy walk through on how to load the toner cartridges to the unit. Useful if this is new to you, may not be for others already familiar. Overall setup is a breeze with your mobile and Wi-Fi. With the power saving features built into this, the printer is very reliable in taking up a lot of power and recovers quickly back into a ready state when recalled to print or scan. The included toner cartridges are marked to last around 1,200 pages, have not yet hit that print count in testing. Printing is clean, crisp looking, and quiet overall. Even with the double-sided (duplex) printing, pages come out at a good rate; especially when printing those larger, high-volume documents.The Smart app from HP is a mobile device enabler and games changer as it has continued to get better as newer model printers are released. With this, it transforms your mobile devices into its own print tool to print directly without the need of a dedicated machine (desktop, laptop, mac, etc.) It allows for easy printing, scanning, and management of printer settings from any location (in/out of home/office). The app has an excellent user-friendly interface for simple navigation and operation for anyone that has limited tech skills to pros. Some of the additional features included are scan to email, cloud storage, and even being able to check toner supply levels.I can say this is something to recommend for any home, home office, or small business environment as long as the initial items noted are kept in mind.
Is ink expensive? Yes, is Toner expensive? Also Yes, but Lazer Printers are seriously worth it. This isn't the printer you buy because little Timmy needs to print out some homework, or you want to print your own photos at home. {You can print photos on it, and with photopaper for LaserJet's even get the nice glossy look too} This is the printer you get because you have a home office, and you need to print regularly. Typically, on a standard inkjet printer you are looking at 250 - 500 pages printed of text and varying degrees of mixed content of text and smaller images. Less if you're trying to print photos etc.With a LaserJet you are looking at a much more comfortable range of 2500 - 5000 pages. Arguably even more important in a small business or home office, ... MoreIs ink expensive? Yes, is Toner expensive? Also Yes, but Lazer Printers are seriously worth it.

Less if you're trying to print photos etc.With a LaserJet you are looking at a much more comfortable range of 2500 - 5000 pages. Arguably even more important in a small business or home office, speed of printing. 25 pages per minute may not sound like much, but it blows inkjets out of the water, if you have ever had to wait for a 20+ page document to slowly inch its way out of a printer.The paper tray holds half a reem of paper easy and has adjustable spacers to hold varying sizes of paper if you need to print on something other than normal letter paper. and there is a manual feeding slot on the front if you want to load it with paper you're only going to use for a single printing. The scanning bed also has an automatic feeder if you want to scan a stack of documents at a time.Setup was a breeze, as simple as pulling it out of the box, peeling a few bits of tape here and there and plugging it into power. All of the setup is handled right on the touch screen, including setting up wifi for network printing. And if you have a more complicated network environment or only want specific people to have access to the printer, there is a whole web interface on the printer you can access from your computer or phone to manage users, materials, check alerts, and even print/copy/scan from the web interface without formally connecting to the printer or installing drivers.The only thing that's really annoying me about this printer is the stupid sticker on the front panel that feels like it's meant to be there for if it was being displayed on a store shelf as the display model. It's a pain to peel off. I can't stand when companies do that, but it doesn't affect the function or value the printer otherwise provides.
Today I will be writing to provide my insights on the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 3301sdw Multi-Function Printer/Copier/Scanner.Starting off, I can say that this device truly brings home the decades of HP experience in the printing market with top tier specifications and quality of materials that is mostly unmatched by their competitors.The 3301sdw is oriented towards the SOHO (Small Office/Home Office) segment where a reliable, fast, and quality device is required and this device checks all the boxes.Instead of going over specifications I'm going to call out the high points of my testing experience and even bring up a small issue I experienced to provide a true all around review.First off, setup of the device was nearly flawless with the exception that in ... MoreToday I will be writing to provide my insights on the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 3301sdw Multi-Function Printer/Copier/Scanner.Starting off, I can say that this device truly brings home the decades of HP experience in the printing market with top tier specifications and quality of materials that is mostly unmatched by their competitors.The 3301sdw is oriented towards the SOHO (Small Office/Home Office) segment where a reliable, fast, and quality device is required and this device checks all the boxes.Instead of going over specifications I'm going to call out the high points of my testing experience and even bring up a small issue I experienced to provide a true all around review.First off, setup of the device was nearly flawless with the exception that in order to setup network connectivity you require a password which isn't detailed in any of the included documents. A quick visit to HP.com revealed the location of the password allowing me to setup network print capabilities which were swiftly detected by all systems on my network, Mac and PC.From there, it's really your choice on just how deep you want to delve into the device menus and functions. With standard features working straight out of the box on all devices, including AirPrint from iPhone/iPad, the device is a perfect device for anyone wanting a 'just works' MFP. Individual toner carts make the extreme cost of toner manageable by only needing to replace what you need.Quality is top tier, time till first page out is astonishing and often faster than I can walk across my home office to get. Document fed or flat bed scanning produce consistent, high quality results suitable for duplication or archival purposes all handled from a simple click of a button.HP's onboard software, accessed via the touch screen, is well developed and mostly user friendly while the screen itself is very responsive to the touch allowing for accuracy and speed when navigating the menus.Overall, I have shown off the device to multiple colleagues, friends, and family members and even let a few of them poke around the device and have received all positive responses based on it's usability and quality garne
I have used other HP printers and have noticed that they are constantly improving some aspects that make them easier and simpler to use. The HP LaserJet Pro MFP 3301 is intended for home or small business use, and it delivers what it promises.In the box, which is relatively compact, comes the printer with four toners (Yellow/Magenta/Cyan/Black) already installed, a power cord and a user guide. To remove the printer from the box, it has to be tilted as it is a bit heavy for one person. The packaging that protects the printer and the stickers must be removed before turning it on for the first time. The power cord is plugged into the back of the printer and then into the power outlet and the printer is ready to be turned on to begin configuration.The configuration ... MoreI have used other HP printers and have noticed that they are constantly improving some aspects that make them easier and simpler to use. The HP LaserJet Pro MFP 3301 is intended for home or small business use, and it delivers what it promises.In the box, which is relatively compact, comes the printer with four toners (Yellow/Magenta/Cyan/Black) already installed, a power cord and a user guide.

The packaging that protects the printer and the stickers must be removed before turning it on for the first time. The power cord is plugged into the back of the printer and then into the power outlet and the printer is ready to be turned on to begin configuration.The configuration of the printer is one of the aspects to be highlighted. First of all you have to connect the device to the wifi network, usb or via ethernet. What HP recommends is to update the printer firmware to the latest one, once done it will be ready to start printing. What I think is a good thing is that once the printer is connected to the network it is ready to start using, you do not have to use accounts or apps to do this, basically it is plug and play, if any device is connected to the network then you can, without the need for accounts or apps, print any document remotely. I consider this to be very practical but without a doubt the HP Smart app provides a different level of security and convenience, I recommend downloading the app, it is a great help.Using the printer is very simple from the 4.3" LCD touch screen, navigation through the menu is very intuitive and the icons are well designed and with different colors to distinguish them.Something to consider is that the printer uses only HP toners, if a toner of a different brand is installed it will not be possible to use it because the device has a system that detects the chip of original products and those that are not, disabling the latter.The device prints (1 or 2-side) color and monochrome both good quality prints, prints relatively fast (26 ppm) compared to previous models. Document scanning is very good. The printer can send the file to the phone via the app, or from the printer to some email or cloud service. Copies likewise, whether color or monochrome, are very good quality. The printer has an auto document feeder that saves time when scanning or copying, however it does so from only one side of the document. Underneath the screen there is a USB port to connect a flash drive and print from there.In conclusion, if you work from home or have a small business and need an all-in-one printer that prints, scans and copies, that is easy to install and use, this HP printer is a good alternative, recommended.
