I really like this color laser. It was easy to install and configure. I was up and running in approximately an hour. My only real issue was that the scanner defaulted to WIA when TWAIN is what my File Center software uses. Not a problem. This color laser supports both and HP had the driver I needed. Jut went out to their well organized support site and there it was. Printing from my iPhone and iPad was easy. As this is replacing an old Brother that didn’t have that capability, this is a big step up for me. I’m not getting rid of the Brother as it still works well, but it will mainly do black&white from here on. The print image is sharp. I needed to print some landscape designs that were made for large format printing and I easily read all but the smallest detail. For the super small detail, with the help of a magnifying glass, that print info was also very sharp. Maybe if I had my eyes from 40 years ago I could have seen it. The printer is quiet. In a room full of equipment that is important. Probably my only critique is removing printed pages. The holding surface needs a little dip to make it easier for those of us with sausage fingers. I got used to it quick enough but would have liked a little dip in the surface to make it easier. The printer comes with very old software and I tested both the wireless printing as well as the email to the printer option. As always, HP has a bunch of available forms and crafts. With land line phones almost obsolete, the mobile fax option is important. For me, it is important only one time per year. Overall this a a very solid color laser for home office use.

So I did some research and this HP Color LaserJet Pro looked nice and compact, it had some good reviews, and the price was right. I checked it out on some YouTube videos for setup and replacing toner cartridges and everything was so simple to do. I only use Macs and the Color LaserJet Pro was supposedly compatible with macOS. So, I took the printer out of the box, ran the initial setup, checked the toner cartridges, put in some paper, ran the print demo, connected to my 2.4 GHz WiFi Network, and printed a one-page PDF file from my 2015 MacBook Pro in another room. I didn't need to install any HP drivers or anything else. The printer was instantly recognized on my network and was ready to go after a minute or so of initialization. Now the LaserJet Pro connects and prints instantly whenever I turn it on. I have to say this printer puts out some beautiful print and it will likely be the last printer I will ever need. I was blown away by the color-print demo. I don't know why I waited so long to buy a decent laser printer. I don't think this printer is expensive at all and as long as the toner cartridges stay working, I don't mind paying the price of genuine HP toner cartridges. It will probably take me years to use up the toner in those cartridges and I even bought a spare black toner cartridge just in case. I am honestly pleased with this Color LaserJet Pro and I highly recommend it for basic print jobs. Printing from my Mac running Mojave OS was a breeze. I don't think printing gets any easier than this. I'm going to play around with it a bit, such as printing from my smartphone or my other Macs. I basically use my MacBook Pro laptop daily to do everything, so that's all I need to print from. I really didn't need a color laser printer, but now I have one if I ever need to print something in color. For me, it's totally worth it if I'm going to use it for years. The printer came in handy right away, as I need to return a corrupted PNY SSD to Amazon, so I printed the return shipment code to give to the UPS store. I had to give this printer a 5-star rating. I don't see any cons for the short-term. If it keeps on working as it is, then it's perfect. I bought this Color LaserJet Pro as a replacement printer for some older crappy, multi-function HP Color-Jet printer I had been using over the past few years. I rarely print anything, so on occasion (every few months), whenever I needed to print or copy something important, the ink-jet cartridge was either partially clogged or dried out. That's even after I removed the ink-jet cartridges, used the nozzle cover, and placed them in plastic ZipLoc bags. It drove me bonkers and so I decided to trash that freaking ink-jet printer. No more ink-jets for me. I wasn't trying to save money. It's just that I rarely printed documents and didn't realize there was a problem with those crappy ink-jet cartridges always getting clogged no matter how carefully I treated them. My advice is... Stay away from ink-jet printers for document printing unless you're going to use them every day.

5th and final update 7/1/24: Two months ago I had to return this HP printer model MFP 3301fdw because of the print issues, and HP couldn't sent out replacement toner (which they beli would fix it) since they didn't have the new toner model in stock. Last week I got delivered from FedEx Ground the HP Toner in all 4 colors. The thing is, the printer is returned and refunded back to Amazon and using a different model. So now I have the toner for a printer I no longer have. Good job HP! ---------------------- 4th Update 5/8/24: Since it has been a week since the last time HP Support called me, I decided to call them. After about 20 minutes, I was again told that my case was escalated (two weeks ago) and they still can't order replacement toner to replace the toner cartridges that aren't working right on this (new) printer MPF3301fdw. They said I should get a call back on Friday. If I don't hear from them or they can't send new toners, then I am sending this model back. I then may go with the 283fdw model, since it is identical to my 281 model that went bad after 4.5 years of use (belt went bad). All I can say is HP Support is pretty much useless. If you are looking for a color laser printer, you're better off going with the 283fdw model that is supported and has toner available for purchase. The newest 3301fdw has no support from HP since it is so new, and none of the toners are in-stock because it is a new model. Also, it prints color pictures MUCH darker than the 281 and 283 model. To me, the 281/283 prints more natural and realistic color pictures than the 3301. ---------------------- 3rd Update 5/2/24: I have got 2 call-backs from HP Support this week Monday and Tuesday saying they are still not able to put in an order for the defect replacement toner (see full review below). They say the issue is that since this printer model MFP 3301fdw is so new that it isn't in their system for support, and that the 218A toners are not in stock to send out for replacement. As far as I'm concerned, this is a total failure on HP. You have a new printer with printing defects. Not sure if it's the actual printer or the toners that are bad. They can't send out replacement toner because none is available. At this point, I'm just going to return this back to Amazon. My HP M281fdw never had any issues until just last month, which is why I ordered this one. So I might get the M283 model, since it's basically identical to my M281 model and at least there is toner in stock for it. ----------------- 2nd Update 4/29/24: Since HP Support is basically useless and isn't able to replace the defective toners, which has streaks/banding and areas where no color is transfered to the HP Paper. I decided to buy another HP 3301fdw printer that comes with new toners and see how it prints. It was delivered yesterday and I printed about 25 pictures on it, and so far the quality has been better, no banding issue and all the colors are being transfered/fused to the paper. But after about 25 color picture and 15 black text pages, the "introductory toner cartridges" are down to 20% capacity! How is this possible? It Specs PDF says the introduction toners are good for a few hundred pages. I've only done 25 pictures + 15 text pages (under 50 pages total) and it's down to 20% capacity? Unless the Calibration On Start Up is using a lot of toner, so I turned that Off. I'm still not sure about this printer, as no one (including Amazon or HP) have the 218A standard capacity toner or the 218X high capacity toner in-stock. So how do you get toner for it??? ------------------- 1st Update: 4/27/24: This is an update to my original review. I would also like to point out all the 5 star reviews for this MFP 3301fdw printer are from Amazon Vine, which means the person got the printer for free at no cost and only had to agree to write an review. I actually paid full price for this printer, so I am reviewing it as a paying customer. Over the 8 days that I have had the HP MFP 3301fdw printer, the color prints have had issues with the toner not fusong to the HP Paper. I called HP Support on 4/24/24 and was on the phone with them (India) for almost an hour and they had to do a video call to show them the printer and the pictures with the color issue. The woman said he was going to replace the toner, since she believed that was the problem and was down to 20%. But she wasn't able to get the toner ordered, and said it would be taken care of through their back end department. Then several hours later I got an HP saying the case was closed. I called the following day on Thursday and spoke to someone else. They also said they couldn't get replacement toner ordered and said they would bring it to their internal support and asked if they could call me the next day Friday at 1pm. So then on Friday I'm waiting for them to call at 1pm and nothing. I end up calling at 1:45pm. The first person I talk to says they are not trained on this printer, and I have to talk to "industrial printer support". They transfer me, and the person there says this is not a industrial printer (big surprise) and has to transfer me back to home office printers. Finally after 30 min I was able to talk to someone. They also said they couldn't order the toner, and said they have to call back next week on Tuesday. This is absolutely the worst support (well no support) I've ever had from a company. If a large company like HP can't make the toners right, causing print issues, and then can't put in an order for replacement toner and takes multiple phone calls, there is basically no support for HP! I have no trust in this printer or in HP to stand by it for the 1 year manufacturers warranty. I did look to see if the toner was available for order (either the standard capacity or high capacity) and no one (including HP and Amazon) has the toners in stock, and shows it won't be available for 1-2 months. How can you sell a printer and not even have the toner in stock when the limited "introductory toner" runs out after about 150 prints? At this point, I would either need to replace my old old HP M281fdw printer with the 283 model, which is basically the same unit and features (just a different toner ) or go with a different brand. ------------------- Original Review: First off, I have been using the HP 281 color laser since 2019 without any problems, until a month ago there was issues and the printer started to die and go out. I decided to replace it with with 3301 model, since it is the newest version. I got it last week and after setting up the printer it begins by initializing the pre installed toners and then a calibration. I went into the menu and did a Print Quality Test that shows the toner colors on a page, and there was major streaks in the colors (,mostly cyan blue and magenta). I ran it 10 times and did a few more Calibrations and it got a little better but was still there. I then tried printing some high quality pictures that I had and noticed that there was areas where the toner (,color) was not sticking on the paper (HP Premiums 24). Areas of the picture that was blue sky, you could see parts that was missing toner, showing the white paper behind it. Or if it was a picture that had some dark/black areas, again you could see areas where the black was not transferring and could see the white paper. I called HP Support yesterday about this, as my old 281 printer never had this problem. Support has to do a video call to see the printed issues on the papers. After I showed them, they said they wanted to replace the toner to see if new toner would fix the problem. But after 40 minutes, they could not get the system to have a replacement toner order put in. She said it would be sent to their back-end department and I would get an email about the toner being sent. A few hours later I got an email saying my case my closed. I called back today at 8am when they open and the guy that I talked to needed a ton of information again. But he also said he could not get the system to take an order for replacement toner, and would have to talk to their internal support and he would call me tomorrow with an update. This is totally unexceptionable. My 281 printer was $350 and worked fine for 4.5 years. This new 3301 printer has issues (possible the toner defect?) being brand new, and still can't get the toners replaced after 2 calls. At this point if they can't get the toner replaced.....or if I do get a replacement and it still has the same problem, then I'll have to either replace the 3301 with another 3301 to see if mine was defective, or go with a different brand like Canon. As far as the 3301 printer, I do like the larger LCD display, and it is faster and quieter than my 281 model. Black text looks the same on both. When doing color photos, the 3301 does looks to have more realistic color than the 281, but it is marred by the areas of the print where the toner is not transferring to the paper making white see-though areas. I will update this review based on what happens with HP support, getting the toner replaced or not.

Realmente uma grata surpresa. Nunca mais uso jato de tinta.

This printer provides the best compromise for someone who is used to the full size office printing infrastructure but doesn't want to spend 10s of thousands of dirhams on a home printer. The set up with WiFi was very easy to do, although the app can be slightly misleading if you don't check the process carefully. The printing quality is great and is more than adequate if you just need a hard copy to read instead of staring at something on a screen for hours. Colour quality is also excellent and photos come out great. Overall, it's an excellent home printer that scans and copies quickly too.

ممتازه

The printer was easy to set up. Wi-Fi works great with all my remote devices. Have recommended this printer to others because of the high-quality and performance of the device.

Printed roughly 60 black and white, 25 colored documents (font only no images) when ink cartridge low message appeared. Tried to override to finish printing but it wouldn't allow me to proceed. After replacing cartridge still won't proceed with system error that it blocked the request due to certificate error.
