HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 3301sdw Wireless All-in-One Color Laser Printer
- Laser Printer
Solid choice for a small-office color laser all-in-one, but budget for genuine HP toner going forward since the printer is built to block non-HP cartridges.

Overview
A wireless color laser all-in-one for small offices, printing up to 26 ppm with an automatic document feeder, duplex printing, scanning, and copying built in.
This is positioned for small teams rather than home use, with an automatic document feeder and duplex printing meant to handle routine office document runs rather than occasional photo printing. HP's TerraJet toner is the newer print engine behind the color output, and the printer takes HP's 218A standard or 218X high-yield cartridges. One detail worth knowing before buying: the printer is locked to cartridges carrying HP's own chip or circuitry, and firmware updates are used to keep blocking non-HP cartridges, which affects long-term running costs.
- Up to 26 ppm print speed, color and black
- Auto document feeder and automatic 2-sided printing
- 250-sheet input tray
- Uses HP 218A standard or 218X high-yield toner cartridges
Who it's for
Suited to a small office or team that needs shared color printing, scanning, and copying with a document feeder for multi-page jobs. Less suited to anyone who wants to use third-party or refilled toner cartridges to cut costs, since HP's firmware actively blocks those.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Up to 26 ppm print speed, color and black
- Auto document feeder plus duplex printing
- 250-sheet input tray for office volume
- Wireless connectivity for shared network use
- Locked to genuine HP 218A/218X toner cartridges
- Rated 3.7 out of 5, below many peers
Performance notes
Print speed is rated up to 26 ppm for both black and color output, with the automatic document feeder and duplex printing meant to speed through multi-page or double-sided office jobs without manual page flipping. The TerraJet toner engine is HP's newer formulation aimed at more consistent color reproduction than older LaserJet toner lines. The 250-sheet input tray covers routine office volume without frequent refilling, and wireless connectivity lets it sit anywhere on a network rather than tethered to one desk.
