This was an update purchase to an older model. So we expected that getting it set up would not be difficult. However, after days of trying myself, I had to call an IT expert to our home who also spent an hour and a half trying to get our machine set up. We read every troubleshoot notation online. Downloaded every software suggestion. The scan function was the most difficult to figure out. Also the device itself continuously times out making the process even more frustrating. In the end, we are finally up and running but I think the windows 11 may have caused the issues we dealt with, so those still need to be ironed out to make the set up less complicated. It appears to be otherwise a great machine.
The printer has worked beautifully with the exception that there was only enough toner for about 120-140 pages of printing/copying before the printer wouldn't work and the warning said printer toner "below very low". All 3 colors were "very low" so all the starter packs are truely very limited. I didn't think they would be that limited. I would recommend that HP make it clear in their boxed information with the printer to immediately get extra toner. I happened to get an extra black toner and that worked fine to get the printer up and running again so we have some chance to get all three of the color toners. We paid more for the color toners than the printer. (black Friday sale). So far it IS a great printer printing-wise so I still rank it a 4 even despite this inconvenience and unhelpful introduction.
I'm very pleased. The color is great, I look for color things to print!! I like how it prints on both sides without pulling the paper out and flipping it over. I use a laptop at home and connected the USB straight to the laptop. No problems. Only thing I've noticed is that it occasionally gives an "out of paper" signal when it's not. But simply pushing the button fixes that. I'll get around to trying to hook it up via bluetooth with my phone. I'm not a big user, the box said everyday printing but I only probably print about 10 pages a week. I'd like to come back to this in about a year as I haven't had good luck with printers lasting a long time. I keep it covered when I'm not using it. So far so good, I'd certainly recommend this printer
I recently purchased an HP Color LJ Pro MFP 3301sdw printer. I am happy with the printer. The set up was easy. The price was reasonable. I recommend this printer.
Amazingly fret-free setup. Accessing all the toner carts at once is a great improvement from our previous HP All-in-One, where the cartridges had to be rotated to top for access.
