Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4301fdw Wireless All-in-One Color Laser Printer, Scanner, Copier, Fax, Best-for-Office

Seems to be GREAT for my home use......very quiet and super duper fast printing. Works better than my printer at work and I'm sure the office pays $$$ for it and it's always needing service. Wifi,setup was pretty much just plug and play since I previously had an older HP printer. It's hard wired and blutooth connected ....works flawlessly .

Final updated Review (10-1-24). The printer has once again given us the "paper jam" error code when there is in fact no paper jam. After a little over a year of barely using the printer, It is going in the garbage. We are not wasting anymore time on this printer and we are just going to replace it. Another updated Review. I will keep coming back to update this review each time I have an issue with the printer. I have had this printer for slightly over a year and I 100% have buyers remorse. There is a known issue with an electrical part and the only way to fix it is to have HP send you a refurb or have a tech come out and replace it with a refurb part. The tech that replaced the broken part used an old and dirty replacement part that now leaves all of my printing pages with giant streaks that we cannot figure out how to get rid of. In addition, today it has started making this god awful screeching noise when it prints. I purchased this printer when it was still at full price it has been the worse purchase of my life. Updated Review: DO NOT BUY THIS PRINTER. This printer is absolute garbage. In the 40 years I have lived on this Earth, this purchase has been one of my biggest regrets. And that's saying something because I've made a lot of stupid financial mistakes in my life. I have had the printer for less then a year and now it is unusable. I had a paper jam in the printer so I cleared everything. The printer is stuck thinking it has a paper jam when there is not. An HP tech came out to inspect and the tech informed me there is a part that is known to fail in these printers and the only solution is to replace it with a refurb. I got the refurb in and I made two copies on it. By the 3rd copy the paper jammed and guess what....it no longer works. I will have to start the entire warranty claim all over again and wait to get another tech out to have it swapped with another refurb. At this point we are just SOL in getting any sort of refund for the printer or the toner we just purchased. I repeat. DO NOT BUY THIS PRINTER. Old Review: The printer itself is a vast improvement from my old printer in terms of quality and performance. It runs smooth, quiet, and its pretty damn fast. The software however makes me want to launch this thing into the sun. It more or less does what it wants regardless of what settings you have in place. Does it print double sided? Absolutely. Does it print double sided when you ask it to? Who knows, maybe it will, maybe it won't. Does it scan front and back? You bet it does! However it will only scan front and back in document mode and it cuts off half the page. And I know what you are thinking "oh that's an easy fix, just change the settings!" Guess again because changing the settings don't matter. If you have the patience of a saint, this printer will do the job. If you aren't tech savvy or if you have the little to no patience, you might want to try another model. Or get someone in IT to set it up for you....maybe a priest. TLDR: Do not buy this printer. Has known issues that are reoccurring. Buy something else.

The HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4301fdw is a great addition to an office environment. It looks clean and professional, fits well in a shared workspace, and doesn’t feel oversized or out of place. Setup was straightforward, and it worked seamlessly with AirPrint right out of the box.

I am extremely happy with the HP Color Laserjet Pro MFP 4301fdw. I had a previous generation of HP page array inkjet printer, which I'd used for about seven years. Unfortunately, it failed, so I needed a quick replacement. I have an earlier generation of LaserJet in another home, and it has served me really well. For that reason, I was inclined towards HP. After researching the manufacturers and checking the costs of supplies, I became interested in this HP model. The reviews and unboxing/start-up videos on YouTube encouraged me to look further. Unboxing was straightforward, although it helps to have a second person to help. My only struggle was entering a wifi password; this was simply because I have a very long password. Once I got that entered correctly, which took a few attempts, the firmware automatically upgraded, the printer calibrated, and it was ready to use. My Mac immediately recognized the Printer, and I had my first output within a few seconds of sending a document to print. It is the fastest LaserJet I've used so far. The printed text is crisp and very clear. It is easy to read. Color images also look great. All things considered, the out-of-the-box experience was excellent, and it feels like this is going to be a great workhorse in my office setup. I will update this if my experiences change over time. At $579, it was not cheap. However, initial experiences suggest it was worth the splurge.

I bought two identical printers of this model for two different locations. I had the same horrible experience with each of them. Initially, everything went fine. Setup was easy and for the first 10 print jobs or so, they both worked great. Then suddenly, out of the blue, they started printing out every other page. I called tech support to troubleshoot. After about 2 hours on the phone (30 minutes waiting on hold + 90+ minutes of letting the tech take over control of my laptop for remote troubleshooting), they got them working again. But then inexplicably, about 10-20 print jobs later, they started to malfunction again – either by only printing every other page or not printing anything at all. Once again, I called tech support line and went through the same laborious process of waiting on hold, and then waiting 90+ minutes for the tech to troubleshoot the problem. Once again, the tech got the printer working again. But then, the exam exact same thing happened – after another 10-20 jobs, the printer suddenly stopped printing. I went through this cycle 3 times for one printer, and 4 times for the other one, racking up more than 10 hours on the phone on hold or speaking with tech support.. Finally, I asked tech support to escalate my case so that a tech could come to my house and fix the problems in person. The request was approved, so they sent out a guy who called himself the "printer whispered” to come to my house. As soon as this guy walked into my office and saw the printers, he start to chuckle and rolled his eyes. He said that particular model is a lemon and he gets more complaints about it than any other model. He said he would try to fix the problem, but honestly, in my shoes, he would just buy a new printer from another company. He said unlike the older HP printers, which were excellent, the new ones are "garbage" (his word) that use substandard parts and have endless software problems. I asked if HP would at least refund my money since this model was known to be a lemon. He said no, in his experience they never did that, they would just keeping on sending me back to tech support until my one-year warranty ran out. ***Again, just to be clear, the guy saying all of this was the technician HP sent out to fix their own printer.*** He said that even if he got it working again, these problems would probably keep cropping up. After an hour or so, he did get the printer working again. But then sure enough, about five weeks later, it stopped printing in the middle of a job. I reached out to the "printer whisperer" again but he refused to come back out. So finally - after having wasted about $1400 on two printers (one of which was still under warranty) and a spare set of cartridges, and 10+ hours of my time – recycled these worthless pieces of junk and bought a Canon. I have certainly had my share of frustrating experiences with shoddy consumer products sold by unethical companies. But given how much money AND TIME I wasted on these pieces of garbage, I think this one takes the cake. I will never buy another HP printer again as long as I live.

Fantastic full color/ scanner/printer that is easy to use, produces professional level prints for your brochures and other printed materials. Highly recommended!

Purchased new 4301 FDW in Aug 2024 for $505 including tax. Well packaged, easy to setup with one irritating exception. Unclear whether a Windows 10 or HP software issue, but Duplex printing did not work until I changed (after a couple hours of searching online for solution) Duplex setting in Universal Printer properties. See pic courtesy of J. Fling. My third HP color laser over the last 20 years, expensive up front but thus far proved their worth over time. Print quality, duplex printing, copying, scanning all work as advertised. Of course, the cost of toner is what keeps HP stockholders happy and execs making millions. The color starter cartridges lasted about 1,000 pages (2 reams). I used third party toner the last few years on my last HP printer, but given the HUGE price increase to over $750 in just over a year, I opted to pay more than my first used car for genuine HP high capacity cartridges (used Amazon's offer of zero interest over 12 months to spread out the cost). My printing needs are less than in years past, so maybe the color will last a couple of years? Had first paper jam a few days ago on a label inserted into the manual feed -- as always its easy when you know how to fix ... 20 min video to locate a button that lowers paper feeder under manual tray (after removing the lower paper tray). Well, I did not plan to write a novel. Excellent printer, yet at $750 plus similar amounts for replacement cartridges it's def an investment!

Works great, fast and lots of features. No issues after a month of use. This is the 2026 model.
