Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great printer! From the setup to actually being able to print all went pretty smooth. The bottom paper tray is a little smaller compared to my prior printer which was the HP8620. The printed pages look very clear and really are absolute!! This printer is not extremely loud, has a easy to use dashboard consisting of menu, copy, scan, print, fax, USB, trays, supplies, job, and help. I would recommend this printer to everyone. Thank you.

Pretty easy to set up, and prints well. Like the color and speed.

HP has been making quality office printers for a long time, and they have gotten quite good at it. This printer follows in that tradition, and I am confident that it is a well-constructed machine that will produce high-quality prints and copies with little maintenance or fuss for a long time into the future. print quality 5/5 build quality 5/5 setup and software 3/5 clock 1/5 (why is there even a clock?) I have been using this printer for about a week now, and I’ve been consistently impressed with the quality of the prints and scans. Making a copy of a full-color graphic original resulted in a copy almost indistinguishable from the original, with excellent color matching and crisp, clear lines. In general, the interface is easy to operate, and the physical design of the machine is indicative of HP’s decades of experience making quality printers and copiers. Unfortunately, there have been several setbacks to my giving a glowing recommendation for this product. In fact, as I sat down to write this review, the printer won’t even boot; it is stuck on the HP logo that comes up for a few seconds when the printer is turned on. Software Ease of use and Stability: The first sign of trouble was that after the initial setup, the printer found a firmware update it wanted to do. After I told it to go ahead, the display showed a “critical error.” Fortunately, the printer could still boot afterwards, and when I tried again the firmware update succeeded. Most of the setup and settings were easy enough and straightforward, but I wanted to try out some of the more advanced features. In addition to printing and copying, it can also scan to a computer, to email, or to network storage. I was able to do the first two, but I couldn’t get it to recognize my network storage. I found lots of folks online who struggled with the same issue and who eventually resolved it after reinstalling and resetting and trying various combinations of settings. So I expect that I might eventually be able to get it to work too, but so far no luck. The device can also print from or scan to a USB storage device. I learned that the USB drive has to be formatted FAT16 or FAT32, so the first drive I tried which was formatted ExFAT would not work. The absolute worst part is the clock. Why does a printer need a clock, you might ask? I don’t know, but part of the initial setup was to set the clock. Since this is a fully network-connected device, they easily could have included NTP to have the clock set automatically, but they didn’t. Even worse is that whenever I turn off the printer the clock stops running! So if I want the clock to be accurate, I have to reset it every time I turn on the printer. Good thing printers don’t need clocks, right? Practically speaking, this is just an annoyance, but it’s one of those details that shows that HP doesn’t care about their software anywhere near as much as they worry about making good hardware. The printer did not come with much documentation at all. I eventually found a comprehensive user guide on HP’s website, but it took a bit of searching. There were a few times when I really needed extra information: for example, after the initial setup there are certain settings that require an administrator login; I wouldn’t have guessed that the administrator password defaults to a PIN code printed on a label inside the printer. Office Use: The main paper tray claims to hold 250 sheets of standard 20lb paper, but my experience is closer to 150 sheets. For an office printer, I would prefer that the main tray have a 1-ream capacity so that a ream of paper can be loaded fully and avoid having to store a partially-used pack of paper outside the printer. Other printers in the same size range have a 1-ream capacity, so this is a little disappointing. Marketing claims this printer is “super fast.” While I have no complaints about the speed, its 25 pages per minute seems about average for a smaller laser printer. Scanning is much slower, about 10 pages per minute when I tested the document feeder. Regardless, it has a document feeder, which is a wonderful time-saver for larger scanning jobs. I found the feeder to be easy to use and to work well: no jams, misfeeds, or misalignments. Note, though, that while the printer will print double-sided, the document feeder only scans single-sided. Marketing also claims a “compact design” which just made me want to criticize the size. With a footprint roughly 16.5” square this is not a huge printer, but it’s bigger than other similar models. Inside the case, there’s about an inch of open air on each side. They actually could have easily made it more compact except that they chose to mount the scanning bed perpendicular to the printing mechanics. In other words, it’s not as compact as it easily could have been. I’m not sure why they chose to configure it this way, but it is set up so that you don’t need access to the sides of the printer during operation: paper goes in and comes out the front, and scanning happens on top. So, despite being wider than it “needs” to be, this is a very thoughtful design. I like that there isn’t a feed door on the side that would interfere with using the space on either side of the printer. Privacy: There have been reports about certain printers spying on what you print. Obviously this would be really bad for anyone printing sensitive information, e.g. anything including financial details or confidential business records. Also obviously, this is most of what people do with printers. Fortunately, HP does not seem to be among the companies with such a bad business practice. From what I can tell, they take privacy seriously. During my testing, the printer did not send any data to the cloud about my print jobs. I did not set up their cloud service, but according to their privacy documents they do not keep any records for their customers in any form that is used by the company for marketing, targeting, or other undesirable purposes. However, they are in the business of using DRM to restrict the way you can use the printer. Most expressly, this printer uses tech to keep you from using toner cartridges not authorized by HP. They even warn that cartridges that work today may not work tomorrow if they decide to block them (via a firmware update). At least they get points for being honest about this, but I would much rather they didn’t do it in the first place. This is an anticompetitive practice designed to coerce people into buying new, HP-branded toner cartridges instead of toner refill kits or cartridges from other manufacturers. And it’s no coincidence that the HP-branded toner costs twice as much as others. Additionally, the fact that they have this tech in their printer means that they can change the rules any time they want and lock you out of even using HP-branded cartridges if they think they can get away with it (and they definitely think they can get away with it). Granted, almost every printer manufacturer has been pulling these tricks for decades, but that doesn’t make it any less offensive. Summary: This is a great printer from a reputable company. The hardware seems well-designed, and it appears to be rugged and durable. In fact, I like this printer a lot. But a few software issues make me question whether I’ll end up finding it to be a valuable addition to my office for years to come, or if I’ll be pulling my hair out over bugs, glitches, and DRM lockouts every time I have an important print job with a deadline.

This is my 2nd HP printer in a couple of years. The LaserJet Pro replaced my Smart Tank 7300 due to the sheer volume of print jobs required for my position and I couldn't be happier with the results. I was quite surprised when replacing the Smart Tank with this LaserJet that the footprint is almost similar to each other with the height being the biggest difference. Setup was just as easy with my original HP. Simple instructions are on the box on how to remove the printer out of the box without damaging it and the plastic bag that holds it has handles to slide it out. It is a little hefty weighing in roughly 38 lbs. so make sure to grab a 2nd person to help out if needed. Once you remove all the plastic protection and plug it in, you are almost ready to go. After I set up my printer via WIFI, I ran the firmware update and it took about 5 minutes to DL and install. What I love about it being WIFI is that all my other PCs in the house connected to the same WIFI could easily find and add the printer with no problems. HP starts you off with some starter toner for the 4 colors it needs (black, magenta, cyan and yellow) allowing for quite a bit of printing (~500 pages) before you will need to get replacements. The size is HP 218A (standard ~1200 - 1300 pages) or HP 218X (High Capacity ~2500 color pgs - 3200 black). Prices were around the $68 for black and $81 for color for standard and $100 for black and $116 for color on the High Yield (off HP's own website). I actually got the 218X Black as a gift from a friend since he uses the LaserJet for his job as well. The 26 ppm output is excellent compared to my old printer and lets me complete more work in a lot less time. My friend who works in the realtor world loves how he can create all the closing paperwork needed to be signed for clients and print them fast with the printer. The ADF's (auto document feeder) speed suits me well clocking in around 20ppm scanning, but again, I only use black and white options for my work related stuff. I know it does color as well, but I think it's a lot slower at ~8ppm. I did have 1 issue that I was going to remove a star from but I figured it out and thought it was too easy a remedy to deduct it. Since using the printer, 100% of my and my friend's workload is black and white. One day I decided to test out color and see what it will look like. After printing a few items with color I immediately noticed something was way off. Anything with the color blue was missing and it was reddish instead. I ran the in-setting diagnostics and test pages, but the all kept coming back fine and toner levels were maxed. I tried reaching out to HP, but got no response. Then I remembered with the larger laser printers I work with when I was in office had a trick to basically shake the cartridge to get the toner flowing again. I opened the front of the LaserJet and slid out the tray housing all the colors and 1 by 1, I took them out, rocked them back and forth (do not touch the bottom) and replaced them all. Once the printer did it's diagnostic again and said ready, I tried again and lo and behold, it worked. Even with the minor hiccup, I still would recommend this to people who still need printers for business or personal use. The print quality combined with the speed is excellent and the price to performance on the toner replacements are not that bad actually.

The HP Color Laserjet MFP 3301 printer is so far serving me very well. This printer is quite heavy in weight. It can serve both a private person and a business with its features. On setup you are directed to make sure to update the software and in doing HP tells you the update may say it failed, but don't worry about it. The printer will restart and the update will have been downloaded. Wait, what? Your IT people cannot find a solution to the notice that the update failed, when in fact it didn't? Really? After the restart you are ready to setup your network connection. I did wifi connection first and the connection process was smooth. I then tried Ethernet. Again setup was easy. After that you can copy and print, but more setup steps are needed for scans and such if you want added capability. This is why I went from 5 star to 4 stars in my review. The process is balky. I wish HP could streamline this. I tried to setup scan to email and it wasn't easy. I finally got it, but ugh! HP Smart features/setup needs work. The rest of the experience has been excellent. The print quality is vibrant. The colors are amazing. The clarity is first rate. The wifi doesn't disconnect. It is always ready to go. HP calls it dual band wifi. I call it a great advancement. The printing speed is fast. Two sided copies are great and a great feature for business use. I can see why this is classified as a good small business printer. There are 2 paper feed options. One by singke sheet, the other via the tray. The paper tray holds sufficent paper. Paper take up rolls work flawlessly. That is so important to me. I am so tired of printer jams. This printer seems to eliminate that problem in scans and in paper feed. Thank You HP. Paper jams are aggravating and time consuming. It seems like this will no longer be a problem. You can scan from the feed tray or from glass. Same for copies. There are usb ports for usb connection too. The touch screen is easy to navigate and easy on my eyes. HP has a good product here. I recommend it and look forward to many years of use.

A BEAST! Great for small business. Sturdy, quiet and easy to set-up and use. Runs large batches effortlessly, including two-sided copies. You can tell this printer means business just listening to it work. Smooth, quiet and effortless. 5+ stars!

I upgraded to the HP - LaserJet Pro MFP 3301sdw Wireless Color All-in-One Laser Printer - White. Works great. It is easy to use. There was nothing wrong with my old HP laserjet; I gave it to my friend. This one is faster.

It was a real easy set up. We hooked it up to our computer and it works great with no problems. I would recommend this printer to anyone that needs a printer. The colors are real vivid. It copies and scans real easy with no issues. we have ran several hundred pages through it and we have had no jams or problems. the checks we print with it are perfect with no smudges or smears.

Super easy setup instructions, very happy with print speed and quality. Good bye inkjet, hello laser!

Very pleased with the output and the size of the printer. With the wireless component set up was very fast.

Setup could have been more intuitive. Linking the printer to the iPhone software AP was eventually successful, but I don’t quite know how it happened. Printer output is excellent. Scanning is acceptable at, I believe it is, 200 dpi. I would prefer more resolution but we do have a stand alone scanner that has much better resolution that I can always dig out and use when necessary. Printer works fine on wifi and air print with Apple devices. All in all to be rated 5 stars it would need more scanning resolution and better setup for iPhone AP. Everything else was fine.

An excellent printer. Easy set up, prints fast and produces clear scans. One downside is that it’s a little heavy, but that’s a pin drop compared to its functionality.

Good Color, Decent Speed, Easy to connect to computer. Quiet .

It was a breeze to attach this to my network. The print quality is superb, as I expected. The printer is fast, and quieter than the old one. Also, the cartridges are going to be a little cheaper than the previous model I owned!

Extremely easy setup. Prints fast. Great quality. Easy to navigate display. So glad I purchased.

What I love the most about my HP LJ Pro 330 Printer is the ease of the setup. The price, user instructions, printer setup (including remote printing), printer control panel visual and all the printer features are not only user friendly but accommodates all my printer needs for home use.

Easy to installer, Quiet and faster. Love it! 100%

I bought this to replace my personal printer at home. The printer is quiet, fast and print very well. The scanner works perfectly and has lotta options. If you were looking for a printer for your office, this would be a great printer.

Ordered the printer on line and picked up at the store less than 2 months ago. set it up the same night and test it and sure it is fast. Prints 25 pages in 1 minute.The printer is nice but heavy. Within less than 2 moths of not printing a lot, "K or BLACK" toner is already low and showing warning. Checked on store for purchase. I would recommend to get a larger toner to use longer.

Reliable, easy to install and connect, handsome, and providing excellent print quality. What's not to like?
