The HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 3301fdw (499Q5F) is a business-focused color laser multifunction printer designed for small workgroups, hybrid offices, and professional users who need reliable color output, efficient document management, and strong security in a compact footprint. Combining printing, scanning, copying, and faxing, it is built to streamline office workflows while delivering high-quality business documents.
Powered by advanced laser printing technology and HP’s next-generation TerraJet Toner, the 3301fdw produces sharp black text and vibrant business color graphics at up to 600 × 600 dpi, optimized for reports, presentations, marketing materials, and office paperwork. It delivers print speeds of up to 26 ppm (Letter) / 25 ppm (A4) for both black-and-white and color, with first-page-out speeds as fast as 10.8 seconds, helping teams maintain productivity without long waits.
This model is a full-featured office hub with:
Print
Scan
Copy
Fax
A major productivity advantage is its 50-sheet Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) with single-pass two-sided scanning and copying, allowing users to process double-sided multi-page documents more efficiently than standard simplex feeders. Automatic duplex (2-sided) printing is also standard, reducing paper use and improving workflow efficiency.
Paper handling is optimized for business productivity, featuring:
250-sheet main input tray
1-sheet priority feed tray
100-sheet output tray
Support for media sizes from 3" × 5" to 8.5" × 14" (Legal)
The printer supports plain paper, glossy paper, labels, envelopes, postcards, and cardstock, making it flexible enough for both everyday office printing and client-facing materials. It has a monthly duty cycle of up to 40,000 pages, with a recommended monthly volume of 150 to 2,500 pages, positioning it well for small-to-medium office workloads.
Connectivity is one of the 3301fdw’s strongest advantages, including:
Dual-band Wi-Fi (802.11ac)
Wi-Fi Direct
Gigabit Ethernet
USB device + USB host
Apple AirPrint
Mopria
HP app / mobile printing
This broad connectivity makes it easy to integrate into wired or wireless office environments while supporting laptops, smartphones, tablets, and remote teams. HP’s “self-healing” Wi-Fi is designed to automatically reconnect and minimize downtime.
Security is a major business differentiator, with HP Wolf Pro Security, role-based access controls, secure admin tools, and HP Security Manager compatibility to help protect sensitive office workflows and network environments. This makes it especially attractive for businesses where data protection and fleet management are priorities.
The device includes a 4.3-inch color touchscreen for intuitive operation and supports HP Web Jetadmin for centralized fleet management. It uses HP 218A / 218X toner cartridges, allowing businesses to choose between standard and high-yield supplies depending on workload and cost strategy.
Community feedback generally highlights strong print quality, dependable office functionality, and good feature value for the price, though users often note toner costs as a key long-term consideration—common for business color laser devices.
With its combination of fast color laser speed, duplex print + scan, ADF productivity, multifunction flexibility, strong connectivity, and business-class security, the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 3301fdw is an excellent solution for offices that need a dependable and compact all-in-one color laser printer.
