Description

HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4303dw Colour Laser Printer (5HH65A)

The HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4303dw colour laser printer is a wireless-enabled A4 multifunction device built for workteams of up to ten users who need fast colour output alongside copy and scan from a single compact unit. It connects via dual-band Wi-Fi 5, Gigabit Ethernet, and USB, and ships with HP Wolf Pro security preconfigured out of the box. However, unlike the 4303fdn and 4303fdw in this series, the 4303dw does not include fax capability — making it a streamlined, lower-cost option for teams that have no fax requirement.

Use Cases

Wireless-Connected Shared Office Teams

The 4303dw suits offices where the printer sits on a Wi-Fi network shared across multiple desks, laptops, and mobile devices. Dual-band 802.11ac intelligently selects the strongest available channel, so connection quality remains stable as users across the team send jobs concurrently. Furthermore, Wi-Fi Direct printing allows visitors or contractors to print from a personal device without joining the main office network.

Fast Colour Document Production

At 33 ppm in both black and colour, the 4303dw handles colour-heavy output — presentation decks, illustrated reports, marketing handouts — without the throughput penalty common on lower-tier colour laser devices. The 50,000-page monthly duty cycle and 750–4,000 page recommended monthly volume position it comfortably for teams printing up to 200 pages per working day. Additionally, PANTONE calibration and HP ImageREt 2400 technology produce consistent, true-to-life colour output across a wide range of media types.

Batch Scanning and Document Digitisation

The 50-sheet ADF allows teams to scan multi-page contracts, supplier invoices, or compliance documents without manual page placement. Scan-to-email, scan-to-file, and TWAIN/WIA integration cover most document management platforms directly from the front-panel touchscreen. For instance, scanning a 40-page supplier agreement to a searchable PDF takes a single ADF load and one front-panel shortcut — no computer interaction required.

Secure Mobile and Flexible Working Environments

HP Wolf Pro security arrives preconfigured, covering PIN/pull print release and boot integrity validation. Mobile workers printing from HP Smart App over Wi-Fi trigger authenticated release only when physically present at the printer. Moreover, self-healing Wi-Fi reduces the risk of missed jobs caused by dropped connections — a common frustration in open-plan offices where signal quality varies across the floor.


Considerations

No Fax — Print, Copy, Scan Only

  • Fax Not Supported: The 4303dw does not include fax capability. Teams that send or receive faxes as part of their document workflow should instead consider the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4303fdn (wired) or the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4303fdw (wireless), both of which include full fax at 33.6 kbps with 500-page memory and 100 speed-dial numbers.

No Duplex ADF Scanning

  • ADF Scans Single-Sided Only: Unlike the 4303fdn and 4303fdw, the 4303dw does not support duplex ADF scanning. Scanning a double-sided document requires either flipping pages manually for a second ADF pass, or using the flatbed for individual pages. Teams that regularly digitise high volumes of two-sided documents should note this limitation carefully before purchasing.

Toner, Output Capacity, and Footprint

  • Introductory Colour Toners Are Low-Yield: Starter colour cartridges supply approximately 1,000 pages each for cyan, magenta, and yellow. Teams with immediate high-volume colour requirements should budget for HP 230X high-yield colour cartridges (~5,500 pages each) as a first replacement purchase.
  • Colour Toner Depletes Faster Than Black: At equivalent print volumes, colour channels consume toner roughly three times faster than the black cartridge. Monitoring individual colour levels prevents unexpected supply gaps during busy periods.
  • 150-Sheet Output Bin May Overflow on Large Jobs: The standard output tray holds 150 sheets. Consecutive large print jobs risk paper overflow, particularly on runs exceeding 100 pages. Teams printing high volumes in unattended batches should monitor the output tray actively.
  • Optional Tray 3 Sold Separately: The 550-sheet third tray (28N93A) meaningfully reduces paper reload frequency for high-volume environments but is not included in the box. Teams refilling paper multiple times per day should factor this accessory into the total purchase cost.
  • Weight Requires Two People: At approximately 20.4 kg, the printer requires two people for safe installation and repositioning.

macOS Compatibility

  • Extended macOS Support on Updated Datasheets: A newer datasheet revision lists macOS 13 Ventura and macOS 15 as compatible — broader than the 4303fdn and 4303fdw, which top out at macOS 12 Monterey. Verify current driver availability for your specific macOS version at hp.com/support before purchasing, particularly for macOS 14 Sonoma.

Need fax capability? Compare the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4303fdw for wireless fax and single-pass duplex ADF scanning, or the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4303fdn for the same features over Ethernet.
