HP Color Laserjet Pro MFP 3301fdw Wireless All-in-One Color Laser Printer, Office Printer, Scanner, Copier, Fax, ADF, Duplex, Best-for-Office (499Q5F)

The media could not be loaded. I got this to replace an Epson inkjet printer that had been declining over the last few years and stopped printing most colors. This is by far the most expensive printer I've ever purchased, but I wanted a really good quality printer that would last me a long time and print reliably every time. So far, I'm really pleased.Initial Setup - I was a little concerned after reading reviews that it would take me hours and several calls to customer support to get this thing set up, but it was actually really easy. The instructions list a website to visit to download the software, so I just followed the instructions and was all set up within a few minutes. I did not need to connect the printer to any computers, I just followed the instructions and was able to get everything connected. Make sure you download the mobile and desktop apps and register on the HP Smart website, where you can manage your printer settings.Mobile App - I didn't love the idea of using a mobile app for a printer, but it is actually pretty cool. There's a lot of neat features on there, like printables, which has a bunch of free things to print, such as calendars, coloring pages, activity sheets, cards, crafts, all sorts of stuff! There's also mobile faxing and scanning, the ability to create photo books and more. I probably won't use many of these features, but I do think they are nice to have.Print Quality - I don't print a ton of stuff, but I did a few test prints and they look fantastic so far. Nice quality and clean printing.Mobile Printing - I didn't have to do anything special to print a photo from my phone. I just opened the photo on my phone, tapped the share icon, selected print, and it defaulted to the printer. It took about 30 seconds, but the quality was great on regular printer paper. You may need to keep the photo/file open until you see the print dialog on your phone show that the item is printing.Scan to Email - This was a bit challenging to set up, but I found a helpful article so I'll share how I did this. First, from the desktop HP Smart app, I added our email addresses to the address book in the scan tab. You also MUST have an outgoing email address set up in order to scan to email, so I created a Gmail account for the scanner. In the outgoing email profiles, I added this email address, used smtp.gmail.com for the server and port 465. Check the "SMTP server requires authentication" box and enter the email address & password. When I tested it, I got an email that Google blocked the attempt so I researched and found an article instructing to allow less secure apps and had a link (just add /settings/security/lesssecureapps to the Google URL to access this setting). I turned less secure apps on for the printer account, and that did the trick. Note that a copy of each scan will be saved in the sent folder of that email account.2-Sided Printing - This was not the default setting on my printer, but I was able to select my default print settings from the HP Smart websiteTouchscreen - I think the touchscreen is easy to use. If setup is required for anything, it will display a message explaining exactly how to do what's needed, so that's really helpful.I've only had this printer a short time, but I'm really pleased with it so far.

I received this product quite a few months back (mid-last year 2023). Again I like to have suitable time with products to give them adequate reviews. I don't believe in just getting the product and upon first impression doing a review.This printer is heavy so be careful for those that are limited in mobility. Make sure you watch your back when moving and lifting it.The product is great, I have enjoyed a lot of HP products and also have researched this before I bought it. I liked how others reviewed it with regards to the quality as well as unboxing and it's use. I am not quite sophisticated with doing the video or shots.Regardless, a few things to take note of....:4. Toners - that come with it are not the heavy usage ones, its enough to do sufficient prints but you'll need to eventually replace - respective to how much color printing you do. I did purchase 4 toners as replacements as I figured at some point I will need to do replacements and they are extensive.The paper tray is good for about 250 sheets, if you are heavy user you may want to get an update or added paper tray.I have tested scanning and you will need to do a slight adjustment in the scan as sometimes it doesn't get the whole page.Network, works great - however, if you plug it into the computer, it won't be usable on the network unless you have the computer kept on and then reach it going through shared network devices.Color print looks great, I am not printing paintings just color graphics and certain websites and PDFs and documents. It is sufficient - usage of specialized paper could enhance but check for compatibility.This is compatible to work with the mobile HP printing but I have not tested it yet. It works great for what I need and I am satisfied with it. I am not a heavy duty user, just when needed I have it available for my use.Connectivity, you can use a USB connector, Ethernet Connector or Wi-Fi. I prefer hard wire as it is often easier - from my experience. Be it using USB direct computer or Ethernet. Wi-Fi works but I love direct hard wired connections.For Faxing you have both the direct line connection for the regular phone RJ connection. As well as an Out for a phone.Hope that helps anyone reading this review. - Thanks.
