HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 3303fdn Printer, Print/Copy/Scan/Fax, Duplex, ADF, Ethernet/USB – Model No: 499M7A

HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 3303fdn Colour Laser Printer (499M7A)

The HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 3303fdn colour laser printer is a compact wired-network multifunction device designed for small business workteams that need reliable, fast colour output alongside copy, scan, and fax in a single unit. It connects via Gigabit Ethernet and USB without Wi-Fi, making it a practical fit for IT-managed office networks where wired infrastructure is the standard. Furthermore, HP Wolf Pro security arrives preconfigured out of the box, and HP TerraJet Toner delivers more vivid, true-to-life colours than the previous generation of HP colour laser cartridges.

Use Cases

Small Business Teams Needing Colour Print, Copy, Scan, and Fax

The 3303fdn targets small workteams printing up to 2,500 pages per month who need full four-function capability — print, copy, scan, and fax — in a single compact device. At 25 ppm in both black and colour, it handles daily office output without a queue backlog. Furthermore, the 50-sheet ADF streamlines multi-page copy and fax jobs, so teams process supplier invoices, signed agreements, or compliance documents without standing at the glass.

Wired Office Environments with Managed Network Infrastructure

The 3303fdn connects exclusively via Gigabit Ethernet and USB, making it a strong match for organisations where IT policy manages all network-connected devices over wired infrastructure. The 802.1x network authentication integrates directly with existing access control systems. Additionally, HP Web JetAdmin enables IT administrators to manage the device remotely, apply firmware updates, and monitor usage without physical access to the printer.

Secure Document Printing in Regulated Environments

HP Wolf Pro security arrives preconfigured, covering role-based access control, WebScan disabled by default, and PIN/pull print authentication. Teams in legal, finance, or healthcare environments therefore print and release confidential documents with a controlled, auditable process. Moreover, tamper-resistant TerraJet toner cartridges protect against supply chain interference, which is particularly relevant for regulated industries with document integrity requirements.

Space-Constrained Office Settings

At 418 × 419 × 341 mm and 17.1 kg, the 3303fdn occupies a meaningfully smaller footprint than the 4303 series (421 × 435 × 384 mm, 20.4 kg). For offices where desk or credenza space is limited, this size reduction allows the printer to fit where a larger device cannot. Additionally, the compact chassis and auto-off energy management suit environments where the printer shares a small server room, reception desk, or back-office alcove.

Considerations

No Wi-Fi — Ethernet and USB Only

• Wireless Printing Not Supported: The 3303fdn connects exclusively via Gigabit Ethernet and USB. It does not support Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, or Bluetooth. Mobile printing via HP Smart App and AirPrint works only when the mobile device connects to the same network as the printer through Ethernet. Teams that require wireless or walk-up mobile printing should consider the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 3303fdw instead, which adds dual-band Wi-Fi.

No Duplex ADF Scanning

• ADF Scans Single-Sided Only: The 3303fdn does not support duplex ADF scanning. Scanning both sides of a two-sided document requires either manually flipping pages for a second ADF pass, or using the flatbed for individual pages. Teams that regularly digitise high volumes of double-sided documents should weigh this limitation carefully before purchasing.
• ADF Colour Scan Speed is Slow at 8 ppm: Black and white ADF scanning reaches 19 ppm; however, colour ADF scanning drops to 8 ppm. For teams with significant colour scan requirements — marketing materials, branded forms, or photographic content — this may create a bottleneck during busy periods.

Paper Capacity and Output Tray

• No Optional Third Tray: Unlike the 4303 series, the 3303fdn has a maximum of two paper trays with no expansion option. Maximum input capacity is 251 sheets — considerably lower than the 850-sheet maximum achievable on the 4303 with an optional third tray. Teams printing high daily volumes without frequent paper reloads should note this constraint.
• 100-Sheet Output Tray: The output bin holds only 100 sheets, half that of the 4303 series. Unattended large print jobs risk overflow at the output tray, particularly on runs exceeding 80 pages. Teams printing long consecutive jobs should monitor the output bin actively.

Toner Yield and Starter Cartridge

• Starter Cartridge Yield Not Specified: The box contents list a “toner cartridge” without specifying whether it is a standard or introductory yield unit. Buyers should confirm the included cartridge yield at hp.com/go/toneryield before relying on it for immediate high-volume production.
• 222X High-Yield Toner Recommended for Volume Users: Standard 222A cartridges yield approximately 1,200–1,300 pages per colour. Teams printing at the upper end of the 2,500-page recommended monthly volume should budget for HP 222X high-yield cartridges (~2,500–3,200 pages) to minimise replacement frequency and per-page costs.

Speed and Duty Cycle vs the 4303 Series

• 25 ppm vs 33 ppm on the 4303: The 3303fdn prints at 25 ppm versus 33 ppm on the 4303fdn and fdw. For teams with more than five frequent users or peak print loads above 2,500 pages per month, the 4303 series offers meaningfully higher throughput and a 50,000-page duty cycle compared to the 3303fdn’s 40,000-page ceiling.

Need faster throughput or wireless connectivity? Compare the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4303fdn for 33 ppm and Gigabit Ethernet, or the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4303fdw for dual-band Wi-Fi and single-pass duplex ADF scanning.
