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.
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.
This replaces our 8 yr old HP Laserjet Color Printer. Setup was easy; all the devices from laptops to cell phones found the printer. Print quality is excellent and wake up time is reasonable. I was anxious to see if it’d drop off the network after hours of non- use. It doesn’t. I would recommend this printer for a small business, professional work from home or a friend who wants a quality printer.
Very pleased with my new printer. It was easy to set up and works well. I’ve been using it for about a week now and it’s very efficient and fast; nice quality printing too.
I used the USB port to load a firmware upgrade, which was easy for me but not clearly documented for less techy users. Otherwise, the software setup was a breeze. Having a quality scanner I prefer this slightly smaller footprint over HP's typical AIO ("all-in-one") printers. Besides the fact that the scanners with the AIO units are generally inferior to a free standing scanner. But I stick with HP for all my printer needs.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 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.
