Periodically non-responsive
I mean, it's a printer. When it works, it's a good one. A few times a week, it'll go non-responsive, wherein we can't print to it from any of our computers. Sometimes turning it off and back on again fixes it. Sometimes not. Stuff clears our workstations' print queues, and then does not print. Then, suddenly, hours later, it'll all print. Onto checks, if that's what's in the printer. Or checks onto plain paper. It's a mess. Do not buy.

Excellent high quality prints
I have been very happy using my HP Color LaserJet Pro 4201dn. It prints really well - very clearly - and isn't too loud when printing. The footprint is a little large but that is expected for a LaserJet vs an InkJet. Setup was very easy. The graphics come put clean and bright, the text is sharp. Both printing speed and warm up are very quick. The price is very affordable for a Color LaserJet. I don't have to worry about the toner drying out or clogging up. I just can't say enough about how nice the prints were - whether it was a graphic or text - definitely better than my old printer. It even does photos well. I would definitely recommend this printer to friends and family.

Excellent Printer
We are brand new owners of a small consulting business and this printer is really great for our needs. It's a huge step up from our old inkjets, works lightning fast and we get a quality print every single time. No more printer telling us "I won't print your black and white job because I'm out of magenta!"
The one small thing that was annoying to me was that it does NOT come wi-fi ready, and you'll have to procure and use an adapter to use without being hardwired. We had one laying around, so it was no big deal, but that could be a huge annoyance to someone wanting to set up and go right away and finding a missing part.
We like to print from all sorts of devices including phones, and the printer has oodles of options to choose from. It has easy to find and use trays, and in a month of using it, I haven't had a single jam or botched job. I'm very impressed by it.
The single touch and press wheel to get to all the menus is nice, makes the printer look streamlined and neat.
It's a great printer and I anticipate it lasting and serving our needs for a long time.

Great printer
I was pleasantly surprised when I received this printer. It unboxed easily and setup was a breeze, I really like having the blue front panel as it makes it look even better, it's nice having a printer that is not all one color. After checking it over, I noticed how easy it is to change toner cartridges, pull the tray, and lift out the used toner. Connecting it to my home network was simple and quick. The only thing that took a few moments to get used to was the settings knob, but once you get it, operation is smooth. Printing is quick and looks great. Having a printer with auto-duplex is so convenient and conserves paper to boot. If all you need is a color printer and not a multifunction device, you should consider this printer.

Amazing Superfast Printer
I recently purchased the Printer for my home office, and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed. This printer offers exceptional print quality, producing crisp and clear text documents as well as vibrant and detailed color prints.
One of the standout features of this printer is its speed. It prints pages quickly and efficiently, saving me valuable time during busy workdays. Additionally, the printer is relatively quiet, which is a bonus when working in a small office environment.

HP color LaserJet Pro my first ever laser jet
As a newcomer to the world of laser printers, my experience has predominantly revolved around inkjet models. However, upon receiving the HP Color LaserJet Pro 420dn, I was eager to delve into the realm of laser printing technology and explore its capabilities. In this comprehensive review, I will share my insights and impressions of the HP Color LaserJet Pro 420dn from the perspective of a first-time laser printer user.
Unboxing and Setup:
The unboxing experience of the HP Color LaserJet Pro 420dn was straightforward and hassle-free. The printer arrived well-packaged with clear instructions, ensuring that even a novice user like myself could navigate through the setup process with ease. From unpacking the components to connecting the printer to my Wi-Fi network, every step was intuitively designed, making the setup process seamless and efficient. Within minutes, I was ready to embark on my laser printing journey.
Performance and Speed:
One of the most striking aspects of the HP Color LaserJet Pro 420dn is its impressive speed and performance. Coming from an inkjet printer, which often left me waiting impatiently for prints to materialize, the rapid printing speed of the LaserJet Pro 420dn was a revelation. Whether I was printing text documents, colorful graphics, or high-resolution images, the printer delivered consistently fast results, significantly enhancing my productivity. The responsive nature of the printer meant that I could tackle large print jobs with ease, without experiencing any slowdowns or delays.
Print Quality:
As a user with a keen eye for detail, I was particularly impressed by the exceptional print quality offered by the HP Color LaserJet Pro 420dn. The colors were vibrant and true-to-life, rendering my documents and images with stunning clarity and precision. Even intricate details and fine lines were reproduced with impeccable accuracy, highlighting the superior capabilities of HP's color laser technology. Whether I was printing professional documents for work or vibrant photographs for personal use, the LaserJet Pro 420dn consistently delivered outstanding results, surpassing my expectations at every turn.
Durability and Reliability:
One of the key considerations for any printer user is its durability and reliability, and in this regard, the HP Color LaserJet Pro 420dn excels.

Crisp and fast
The HP LaserJet Pro4201 is a quality printer. It is very easy to set up and instructions are easy to follow. It comes ready to plug into your network via ethernet cable or computer with USB. As an inkjet user in my home office, I needed to take the leap and purchase a quality desktop laser printer. The quality of the print is crisp and clean. It prints quickly so no long waits for large print jobs. The toner cartridges are easy to locate and replace. I love that the toner comes in individual cartridges saving money on just replacing what you need. Great product.

GREAT SMALL BUSINESS COMPUTER
This printer is good for a home office or small business. The print quality is great even for color documents. The printer is quiet and doesn’t take up a lot of small. We did have a difficult time connecting the printer to the internet, because we believed the printer had a wireless internet adapter, it doesn’t. You will have to use a wireless adapter or an Ethernet cord to connect the printer to the internet. Also, we wish we had selected a printer with touchscreen capabilities.

An excellent color laser printer
Buying printers is one of those things that, despite their technological advances, we normally don't think about replacing unless there is a problem with our existing units. Enter the ultra-attractive HP Color LaserJet Pro 4201dn. First and foremost, it is an excellent printer that is very good at doing its assigned task. Pages look professionally printed and come out extremely fast. With the ability to print 35 pages per minute, this should suffice for any home or small office. Despite not being touch screen, the dial control feature works well.
The one thing I would advise to any future purchasers is to note that this particular model does require an ethernet connection, as opposed to wifi, so pre-planning placement of this printer is an absolute must.

A Great Replacement for Inkjet and Laser Printer
I recently replaced my old setup of an all-in-one inkjet printer and a separate black and white laser printer with this HP printer. I mainly print documents with occasional color printing, and I scan using my phone so I wasn't looking for a scanner function in the new printer.
Easy Setup, Almost - Unboxing and initial setup were a breeze. The printer itself is a bit heavy, but getting it ready to go was quick. I plugged it in, answered a few setup questions, and downloaded the app. However, I missed a crucial detail: this HP printer requires a wired ethernet connection to set up with the app. After a quick trip to the store for a cable, I was back on track. Once I connected the cable, the app found the printer immediately and I was ready to print.
This HP printer is a speed demon! It handles both documents and photos with ease, and the double-sided printing is equally fast. Even when using duplex printing, the speed is impressive. The documents are crisp and sharp, and even photos look good on this machine.
For a color laser printer, this HP model has a surprisingly small footprint. It won't take up a ton of space on your desk. It also has a handy bypass tray that lets you print on specialty papers, which is a feature I might use in the future.
Overall, a Great Choice. This HP printer is a great replacement for my old inkjet and laser printer combo. It's fast, produces high-quality prints, and has a small footprint. The only hiccup during setup was the requirement for a wired ethernet connection, but once I had that, the app setup was quick and easy. If you're looking for a fast and versatile color laser printer for home or office use, this HP model is a great option.

Good for Laserjet and Color Printing
I was in the market for a laserjet printer since I print so often working from home but also use color printing when necessary and for personal creative projects. What I like about the printer is how quiet and fast the printing is, how it has 2-sided printing, and the size of the laserjet is perfect for a small office and provides quality printed professional documents. It’s almost perfect, however the downside is it is not wireless and requires an ethernet/usb connection and the menu navigation is not user-friendly. I had a bit of trouble connecting it to the ethernet, but had to reset my router for it to be recognized. I really don’t like using the dial for the menu navigation as it is difficult and time consuming to use, especially if you have to type something such as connecting it to the network, or logging in as an admin or user. I also wish it didn’t log out every time. I know it is a safety feature but logging back in is such a hassle with the dial. When you type sometimes it doesn’t register that you clicked the character or it slides to the next character and selects it, then you have to navigate all the way back to the backspace and then back to the letter, hoping it doesn’t happen again. If the printer had wireless connection and a touchscreen menu, it would get five stars. But it serves its purpose well otherwise.

Professional Prints
HP has done it again! This color printer has far exceeded my expectations. The print quality looks like we had our color brochures custom made! This printer is definitely being considered for a small business venture. I would trust my clients would be just as happy as I am with their custom print jobs! I had zero issues connecting to a wireless connection. Initially, I thought the printer was going to be too big and cumbersome, but it sits perfectly on the desktop area. This printer is very user-friendly. Overall, I am ecstatic about all aspects of this printer! Thank you, HP!

Awesome Printer
This printer has been a great addition to our home office. We print documents for work, personal use, and even our daughter prints out fun activity sheets. It prints very fast, so we never wait long. I love the 2 sided printing as well since it saves us money on paper. Connecting it to the internet was fast and easy, plus we can print right from our phones - such a nice feature. The colors and details of every printed document are fantastic. We get beautiful pictures and pristine outlines. Even our friends have commented on items we have printed out.

Great product for a small office
I believe the HP Color LaserJet Pro 4201dn is an excellent choice for a connected office. The print quality is impressive for its size. While it may not be the fastest or boast a plethora of features, the output quality is outstanding. My least favorite aspect is the dial – it’s cumbersome to navigate and poorly designed overall. However, after the initial setup, I’ve barely needed to use it. The printer operates quietly and has an aesthetically pleasing appearance on a desk. Personally, I would prefer it in either all white or all black, but that’s more a matter of personal preference. The real considerations will be the cost of ink and the machine’s longevity. It integrates seamlessly with an iOS environment, which is a plus. The lack of WiFi connectivity is disappointing, especially in 2024, but we move on. Overall, I highly recommend this printer for offices with a small team that requires color printing.

HP Color LaserJet Pro 4201dn
I've been using an HP printer for over a decade. Previously, I had a black-and-white Wi-Fi printer, so I needed a color printer. The HP Color LaserJet has transformed my home office. Its vibrant color prints make my documents look highly professional. Although the setup was a bit challenging, I managed to install and set up everything. Once up and running, it's been smooth sailing. The first color page I printed was of a running horse, and I was impressed with the quality of the colors. It prints quickly, which is perfect for my DIY projects and my child's school work. I highly recommend this printer.

Finally a printer that just works
I really like this printer. For some reason, it seems like I have always been plagued with printer problems. Either the ink dried up or it didn’t print well or it just flat out broke. I just wanted something simple. Send the print job, it prints, done. I’ve finally found it. I’ve been using this printer a couple weeks and it’s been flawless. It’s so simple and it just works! The app is also simple and easy to navigate. I foresee this printer lasting years for me. Seems very well made and looks modern and professional. I would definitely recommend. I’m a heavy home user but believe it would be just as good in an office. So happy!

Love it....except
I am overall very happy with this printer. It prints really well and the colors are nice and vibrant. It has upped my crafting game with the quality of the images over my inkjet printer. It prints quickly and takes no time to print large amounts. My only complaint is that it is not wifi compatible and as my router is in another room, I did have to purchase an adapter to set it up in my home office.

HP Color LaserJet Printer
This printer is definitely one for power users or a relatively small business. Very crisp printing but a bit clunky for an average user to set up. I wish it had wireless capabilities but the different ways to connect for printing makes up for it.
Overall, it's a solid device for sizeable print jobs for power users or a small business.

A powerhouse color laser printer at a great price!
My HP 4201-dn purchase was a huge upgrade to my productivity. I recently hooked this printer up and was super pleased at the ease of configuration. Everything connected automatically and windows found the printer easily. The control wheel made navigating the menus much easier than traditional button-based input. Anyone who has ever entered an IP address into a printer using up and down keys knows what I am talking about here!
I printed a full-page color photo to test things and it was out in an instant. The print quality was great despite my lower quality paper and the printer quietly went back to sleep (probably saving a ton of energy.
I have since printed multiple large documents and multiple copies of Powerpoint documents for meetings and the quality and speed of this printer continues to amaze me. It is also really quiet when printing, so if you have a quiet office or business and want something that won't disrupt conversations, this is a sure winner. Consumables are also much cheaper for this than ink-jet based printers so you not only print faster and quieter, but also save money when it comes time to purchase supplies.
I am a big fan overall and will recommend this printer to anyone looking for a small business or professional home printing solution.

Surprisingly Fast and High Quality
We got the Color LaserJet Pro 4201dn to use as a second printer in our house. My wife is a student and prints large volumes of papers, notes and presentations constantly. Setup was simple. Unbox, remove the (obvious) packing tape, plug it in and turn it on. The only downside was no WiFi, which is easily fixed with any WiFi/Ethernet bridge adapter. It's amazingly fast, premium quality and it looks great in her office. Definitely recommended!

Not ideal
Not as well made as my older printer. Tin instead of heavy plastic. It needs too much hands-on. Even when the paper is full it wants the paper loaded or button pushed. It needs to be turned on every morning instead of being ready to go. I don't like the rotating button to reach files.

Great Home Office Color Printer
Right out of the box the 4201dn seemed like a great product. It was packaged very well and had a quick start guide as the first thing you found in the box. The printer is comparatively large, but the advertised dimensions were correct so it fit perfectly in the space I had allocated. Setup was extremely fast and easy, including the hard wired connection to a WiFi network to allow multiple users to print from anywhere on the same network. The printer is pretty quiet and prints very quickly in B&W as well as the ability to print on both sides which I did not have previously. Overall this seems to be a good value and solid printer for an office or home office setup.

Reliable Performance for Office Environments
Delivers impressive print quality in both black-and-white and color prints. Text is sharp, colors are accurate, and there's consistency across different document types, including text, graphics, and photos.
This printer boasts fast printing speeds, with both black and colored pages printing at up to 35 pages per minute (ppm). This meets my expectations, especially when compared to entry-level laser printers starting at around 20 ppm.
While the printer lacks built-in Wi-Fi connectivity, it can connect via Ethernet or USB. Setting it up via USB was straightforward and hassle-free, although Wi-Fi connectivity would have been a convenient addition for my home office setup.
The printer's trays (Tray 1 and Tray 2) accommodate various paper sizes, including legal, and support duplex printing. Tray 2's 250-sheet capacity (20lb paper) is adequate for most office needs, and the optional Tray 3 can add an additional 550-sheet capacity.
The control panel, operated via a dial, provides access to the printer's menu and settings. While functional, entering passwords can feel cumbersome without a conventional keypad. The screen quality is basic but functional, offering easy navigation.
The build quality of the printer is solid, with easy access to toner, trays, and the rear door. However, the menu screen could benefit from better build quality, and physical buttons would have been a preferable addition to the dial control.
The printer uses HP 210A or 210X toner cartridges, with the 210A black toner costing approximately $96 and yielding up to 2,000 pages, resulting in a cost of $0.048 per page. Purchasing both black and color 210A toner cartridges together costs about $429.99, resulting in a cost of $0.215 per page for 2,000 pages. While non-OEM options may offer cost savings, they may compromise quality and reliability.
The printer includes various security features, including admin credentials located near the toner cartridge, access restrictions for configuration settings, data security features, and protection against unauthorized access.
Energy conservation settings, including economode, sleep mode, and shutdown mode, contribute to reducing the printer's environmental footprint.
Multiple support channels, including phone support and an online portal. The printer comes with a one-year bench repair warranty for added peace of mind.
Combines excellent print quality, speed, and reliability, making it a solid choice for office environments.

I love this printer. It was so easy to set up on my internet network. Prints extremely quick. Nice clean and crisp lookin prints. The only thing I've had trouble doing with it is adding it to my hp account and starting HP Insta Ink. I still need to play around with more of the features it offers. But so far I absolutely love this product.

Great all around printer!
First Off, this had to be the easiest printer setup. It came with the printer itself (pre installed toner), the power cord, and the instructions booklet. Once it plugged in, you plug in the Ethernet cable, and load the paper. It leads you through a few prompts on the printer and you are ready to print.
The printer is a decent size with a large paper tray. We use it for our home, but it could easily be used in a small office setting. If you are used to inkjet printers that take a bit to print, this print time almost seems instantaneous. We printed a couple samples right off the bat including a document as well as a photograph. The black and white document came out great as expected. The color photograph came out great!
Overall our family have not had any complaints. We would highly recommend this HP printer to anyone looking for to set it up in a small office or home. It gets an A+ for ease of setup as well as print quality and speed.

Office is in love
I got this in this morning. I got to work hooked it up and printed all my invoices. They came out crisp. Out old printer was wrinkling our paper. Now we can read what's being printed. I can't wait to see how long the ink in this. We print about 2000 sheets in a week. I love that it's blue and has that color in out gray office
Update! Everyone loves this printer and how quick it prints out. I wish I would have gotten one that was wireless so the person next to me can use it also. It was super easy to hook up. Pretty much installed itself on my computer. Everything that is printed comes out crisp. It's so clear and my papers aren't wrinkled like the old printer. A lot more professional in my opinion.

I was sent a free sample of this HP color laser jet pro 4201dw wireless printer. I have to say that this printer works amazing. The color of the ink is so pretty on the printed document. It's clear and it prints quite quickly. Way faster than my hp envy printer that i had previously. The printer is quite a bit larger than my last printer so I had to find a better and bigger spot to set the printer since i don't have a shelf specifically for printers. But all in all this prints way better and clearer Than my older smaller printer. And much faster. I'm impressed.

Disappointing Customer Service After the Sale!!
The purchase of the 4201 dn was a breeze and the associate I was dealing with was so helpful and went the extra mile to answer all my questions and find the right printer that would fit my needs and network. It was shipped quickly and it was easy to connect to my system. The printing is perfect. It's just what I needed. However, I only give them a 3-star rating because getting service after the purchase is nonexistent! Their specialty seems to be to continually transfer you to one person after another. It's disappointing not to be able to get the assistance you need. They need more competent personnel that are willing to help rather than pass you off to someone else. After being transferred 10 times I gave up. Useless customer service after the sale!!!

AMAZING! This is HP Printer is the best of the best. Wireless connection, color, fast, and cheap ink costs. The setup was a breeze. I connected it to work with all computers on my home network and everyone even the kids can print without a hassle! This will be one of our most used electronics. My biggest thing was that "This printer is intended to work only with cartridges that have a new or reused HP chip, and it uses dynamic security measures to block cartridges using a non-HP chip." I received a free sample of this printer to review.

Needs 1 Thing
This printer arrived quickly and was easy to set up. It is not wifi capable though, which is disappointing. For such a costly printer, it should be. So I had to get another mesh wifi port as the printer is located in a different room than my workstation. This printer is significantly larger and much heavier than my B and W laser jet but it works perfectly and prints clear, crisp images. The turning knob seems a bit archaic for today but it's easy enough to use and gets the job done. This printer has already come in handy for my work-related print jobs and a few school projects my kids have had. I would recommend this printer if you can connect your computer directly to this printer or connect via ethernet cable to your home network. This printer will take up quite a bit of space, so be mindful of that when deciding.

Perfect for small business owners!
I own a small business and am always printing out documents. This printer is an investment but its versatility is unmatched. From printing to scanning and faxing, it handles it all with ease, streamlining our operations and saving us valuable time.
The print quality is exceptional, delivering professional-grade results consistently. Combined with its impressive speed, it ensures we meet deadlines without sacrificing quality.
Reliability is another key feature. Unlike previous printers that caused frequent downtime, this one is built to last, minimizing disruptions to our workflow.
While the upfront cost may deter some, the benefits in productivity and professionalism quickly outweigh it.

I’ve always wanted a laser printer at home
This printer came super easy to set up right out of the box. I’ve always wanted a laser printer because I hate how slow inkjet printers are and how I always feel like I have to change the ink so fast. I was so excited to be able to have a laser printer at home. The printer itself is very sleek and looks great in the corner of my study. It prints super fast and the quality is great. I’m sure it will be an amazing help with my work as well as allowing my children to print out what they need for school. The only change I would make to the printer itself if I could would to make it have wireless capability, but that would just be a bonus feature really. Overall, I am extremely happy with my new printer and would highly recommend it to everyone.

Solid Quality Printer Just Shy of Excellence
I recently purchased the HP Color LaserJet Pro 4201dn for use in my home office. The 4201dn is a color laser printer from HP with a stylish design.
Setting up the printer was a simple process. It is heavy but still fits on my desk. It only took a few simple steps to be ready to print. The biggest issue was finding a cable to connect to my router. I knew this was not a wireless printer going into the purchase but discovered it to be a little more of an inconvenience than I had anticipated.
The single control knob is my only real gripe about the design. Itis functional but provides no tactile feedback when you turn the dial. The result is a somewhat sloppy feel in how it rotates. I don’t plan to use this knob often, so it is not a deal breaker. The display is a simple dot-matrix affair which is serviceable.
Finding the printer on my network and sending it my first job was effortless. It was quickly discovered by both my work and personal computers, and I was able to print within a minute of getting connected.
The printer warm up time is very brief. I expected it to take a minute or two get ready to print, but I it took less time than my ink jet to initiate a page.
The print speed is terrific. I was thoroughly impressed with how fast the page went from the initial mechanical churn to dispensing a finished product. It is much faster than my ink jet. The volume of sound produced by this printer is also significantly lower than the old ink jet. I used to have to pull the chord when my wife began a job while I was on a call in the office—not so with the 4201dn; it is quiet and fast.
Regarding the quality of the print, this was the shining star for me. Using regular paper, the difference in quality is night and day. The details and color displayed on the 4201dn was rich and well defined while the ink jet lacked significant details and definition. The printer supports a wide variety of paper types too, including glossy, and would go so far as to consider this printer for framed photos.
Between the general looks, speed and volume of prints, and the excellent print quality I recommend this printer. However, please know that the toner cartridges are very expensive, and you may find the per page print cost to be far higher than a tankless ink jet option. I’m pleased with a medium quality workhorse (my ink jet) to handle most jobs with the laser jet handling higher quality prints as needed.

great printer
This thing is a workhorse. It's quick and acurate. Network integration was simple with one ethernet cord. once attached to the network everything could see the printer with minimal setup from my iphone to my pc in another room. It does everything well from color to both side printing. The secondary feed draw is great and feeds wonderfuly. This will be a solid part of my office for years to come.

Works extremely well
I love that the HP Color Laser Jet Pro is quiet and works effectively. It produces fast but professional quality looking prints. The quality of the color prints specifically when printing pictures of real people looks so crisp and good. It looks like an actual photograph print. Not to mention overall the printer is quiet.

A proven race horse
I’m the owner of a small sword fighting/ martial arts school. We do a fair amount of printing for promotions. A good color printer is essential to our success. For the last ten years we have used a HP Color Laser Jet CP1518ni. It has been an excellent partner in our endeavors. The best suitable upgrade appears to be the new HP Laser Jet Pro 4201dn. It’s full color capability and high speed printing (@ 35PPM) it is exactly what we need. Installation was as easy as plugging in the USB cord and performing the guided setup on the 2.7” screen by running through a few menus. The one challenge presented was that the scroll button/knob doesn’t seem secure and sturdy. The best feature of this printer for me is that the toner cartridges are reasonably priced and produce thousands of copies per cartridge. This printer is one of the best values out there today. I’m looking forward to many years of service.

Love This Printer
After using my new HP Color Pro 4201dn now for a few weeks, I can't stop raving to my coworkers and friends about it. Not only does it print blank and white copies very fast, the color quality on my color prints are spectacular. The setup was nice and easy, and I love the modern sleek look. I would definitely recommend this printer to anyone who is looking to replace/upgrade their old printer.

Nice Printer
Got the HP Color LaserJet Pro 4201dn to use in the office where I volunteer. Did have a few problems setting up due to computers need updated. When I finally got it set up the print quality was impressive. This will save us so much on going out to get color copies. It is a bit heavy. I would recommend this printer to anyone want ihgh quality looking copies.

Great quality prints, easy setup
I highly recommend the Color LaserJet Pro 4201 dn printer to anyone looking for a quality color laser printer at an affordable price. It took less than 5 minutes to set up and start printing and the color and print quality is stunning. I love that this printer is always ready to go, no clogged heads or constantly changing ink cartridges.

Efficiently gets the job done!
I did not realize at first that the HP Color LaserJet Pro 4201dn was NOT a wireless a wireless connection. 100% my mistake. I spent days trying to figure out how to set it up. I finally reached out to customer support and their response time was immediate. Once I figured out my user error, set up was a breeze. The dial mechanism seems a bit outdated and annoying. That is my only real complaint, so I will get that out of the way! Other than that, it is a wonderful printer. I am using it for my home office and it is perfect. My husband is a football coach and camp season is upon us. He will periodically have to print out wavers for the team to fill out for the camps. This was a life saver when the head coach called, frantic, because he had overlooked a form the boys needed to fill out. It was late and he needed these printed out for the morning. We printed out the 50+ forms quickly and without issue. The last printer we had would take FOREVER to print out the forms and there was always multiple paper jams throughout. I will no longer feel annoyed or inconvenienced when he calls in a panic( it will happen multiple times throughout the season LOL) because this printer made it a breeze!

High Performance Printer
After having using the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4301fdn for over a week and having everyone in the office try to print at least a few different types of documents, we are pleased to say that this is definitely a product that lives up to its advertisements. This model is completely new to us and set up was surprisingly easy once we plugged into our network. It prints and scans really fast and the quality of the prints themselves were perfect for our needs. Although we have not needed extra ink as of yet, there is also the offer for free ink from HP. Overall we are really happy to have received this printer and it works really well for our small business.

HP Color LaserJect Pro 4201dn
This was purchased to replace a previous LaserJet printer, which was very slow and lacked a lot of features. This printer is a work horse of a printer capable of supporting a smaller workgroup of folks. It has Ethernet connectivity and USB support. Wireless is available on the 4201dnw but if your using Ethernet there is a pretty good chance you already have wireless in the location its being used so to me that was money saved. The duplex printing is also a nice feature to help save money on paper and the environment. Setup of the printer was straight forward, unbox, pull of shipping tape, add paper, plug in ethernet cable, and plug into wall. Windows 11 picked up printer with no drivers or anything having to be done. Used printer-based controls to get the IP address of unit and connected and configure it the rest of the way from the built in management webpage, which i included a picture of in this review. Printer is very fast, even in duplex mode. Colors are bright and vivid and another great thing about this printer compared to most is that there is no ink that will be drying up and unavailable when you need color like there is when you use an inkjet printer. All in all, I'm very happy with my purchase of this printer and it has been a welcome addition to my tech stack.

Blazing fast professional printer
This printer was very easy to set up straight out of the box. I was set up and printing color images and multiple documents within minutes. Having the flexibility to use the Ethernet connection or USB allows multiple users in the house to connect and print. The print quality is really nice and I am glad that it has instant ink so I never have to worry about running out of ink. The printer is actually really quiet and it prints very fast. The knob for control gets some getting used to but besides that it is very intuitive to use.

Feature Rich
Printers these days are unnecessarily complex and need a thousand different drivers and don't work across computers and phones. Enter the HP Color LaserJet Pro 4201DN. It's simple and these days why pay extra for fax when you just need a solid printer? I opted for this model over the FDN for that reason. Color should always be in toner especially when printing large reports because ink runs out too quickly. Overall the initial setup was easy and I got it onto my network quickly and installed on my server via network. Then I was able to print to it from my phone via the same server and that gave me nice colorful pages.
Packaging wise its very compact considering it has 4 toner cartridges. The screen is easy enough to use and I like the splash of blue on the front. Pages come out quick with no smudges and so far I've printed over 100 pages with no jams.

Fantastic home office printer but…
This printer is a great find: it's fast, accurate, and super quiet. Plus, its compact size makes it perfect for smaller surfaces. It's ideal for a home office or small business, handling almost everything you could need.
The only snag we hit was getting it online. We didn't think to check if it was WiFi-compatible since most things are these days, but this one only works with Ethernet. Setting it up took a bit longer than expected, but luckily, we had a cable port in the office. Once we got it connected though it worked like a charm!

New 4201dn printer arrived - not impressed
Have been very happy with previous HP printers, on this one the dial is cumbersome, keeps indicating that the paper tray is empty (it isn't), can't seem to change the date - it stays on Aug 31 no matter how many times I change it. Duplex printing works sporadically. When it works the printing is fast and the quality is good - it just seems finicky.

However installing the drivers is not ideal when using the printers on a network. Very time consuming and complicated.

Easy For Me
So far it functions as it's suppose to. Setup was easy for me, but I had to update the firmware manually as it did not auto update through the internet the first time. Driver install was automatic on Windows 11. Setting up the HP Smart was easy and am now able to print from my Android phone. Hopefully, this printer will last into the next decade or two like my last HP did.

Excellent family and WFH printer
This printer replaced a 15+ year old printer that we thought worked great. There is a day and night difference using this new HP printer. It is so fast and the quality is amazing. We use it for both home and work. Our kids have loved printing things in color - it is a plus that the documents come out so quickly so our little kids don’t have to wait.

The best print quality.
The printer left me completely perplexed with the quality and speed of the print, it delivers professional quality and colors, a print with clear minimum details. It also features fast two-sided printing. The app is super, easy to use and full of quick editing and printing possibilities, I really love using it. The only point I didn't like was that the connection is not Wi-Fi and it doesn't scan on the printer but this is easily done in the app.

WOW I have never owned a printer with this kind of power before!! And I swear it has endless capabilities, you could entertain yourself for hours just trying all of the features! It definitely is way out of my price range, I would not have been able to afford this or try it's capabilities without the help of The Insiders, so thank you SOOO much, Insider Team!!

Works extremely well
The HP Color LaserJet Pro 4201dn is a reliable and efficient multifunction printer. It has impressive print speeds and high-quality color output, making it ideal for my business.
One of its standout features is its ease of use, thanks to a user-friendly touchscreen interface that simplifies navigation and operation. The printer supports various connectivity options, including USB, Ethernet, and wireless.
In terms of performance, its sharp text and vibrant color prints, are suitable for everything from reports and presentations to marketing materials.
While it's a bit on the larger side for a desktop printer, its functionality and reliability make it a worthwhile investment for my business.

Great for WFH
I print out a ton of paperwork for my job and this printer has been absolutely amazing at handling my work flow. The prints are vibrant and clear. It prints extremely fast in both color and Black. For a laser printer the toner is very affordable and worth the cost. My only issue is it is not wireless, and as I share the printer with my wife who also works from home, we did have to set it in our living room to keep it connected to the network.

Bright colors, great prints
The quality of the HP Color LaserJet Pro 4201dn is excellent. The text is crisp and clear and the printer speed is quick both when first starting and when running the print job, and it’s amazingly quiet. The colors are vibrant, and presentations look impressive. I love the fact that I can do double-sided printing. It was very easy to set up – I didn’t have any issues. It connected to the network without problems and the kids are able to print easily from their laptops. I don’t have to worry about wasting ink to clean the printheads, the printer just works when I need it to. I would definitely recommend this printer to friends and family.

Great for the home or the office
I recently got the HP Color LaserJet Pro 4201dn for my home projects, and it’s been a game-changer for printing labels, color cards, and other small projects. Switching paper types is a breeze, which is super important when I’m juggling different tasks. The print quality, especially the colors, come out sharp and vibrant, which really makes my projects pop.
In terms of cost, I feel like I’m getting a good deal. The cost per print seems lower compared to other printers I’ve looked at, which means I can do more printing without worrying too much about my wallet.
However, while I love the printer, I’ve had my share of frustrations with the HP Smart app. It can be clunky and sometimes complicates things more than it helps. But once you get past the app, the printer itself is fantastic. It fits perfectly into my home office setup and handles everything I throw at it with ease.

Overall I like this printer HOWEVER there is one issue I cannot resolve
One problem. The printer driver came automatically set to duplex printing. I cannot find a way to turn this off. I usually do NOT want to print duplex, I want to print a single page at a time. For the rare times when I do want to print duplex, I have (since my initial HP LaserJet printer in 1983 or 1984) simply clicked to "print both sides". I don't care why you did what you did with this printer and its automatic duplex printing. I DO CARE that you tell me how to stop it...please.

Works Every Time
We go long periods without printing in our house. Because of that, we often need to reboot printers that won't wake up. This printer doesn't have that problem! When we click the 'print' button, it always wakes up and prints. The quality and speed are excellent.
Physically setting up the printer was simple, once we got a long enough ethernet cable. Our computers also were able to add it easily.
The only two downsides I see are the lack of wi-fi and the printer randomly waking up. Once or twice a day, the printer wakes up, makes sounds like it's going to print, but doesn't and goes back to sleep. But those are small prices to pay for a printer that always works.
