HP Color Laserjet Pro 3201dw Wireless Color Laser Printer, Office Printer, Duplex, Best for Office (499Q9F)

This is the absolute worst printer I have ever used. It freezes, glitches, and constantly needs to be restarted. Contact with HP Support has been the opposite of helpful. HP in general is a company I will go out of my way to avoid in the future. I would absolutely recommend this product to someone, if you hate them. 5 stars so my review actually shows up and people read it.

The first month or so of owning this printer, I would’ve given it 5 stars. The starter cartridges it came with put out AMAZING prints. Then one day, they run out and I’ve only ever replaced them with the same HP brand 218a cartridges. The first time i bought the XL version of each cartridge totaling somewhere around $500). After replacing, prints came out terrible and I mean AWFUL! Colors were way off half the page was faded to blank , unlegible even. I figured, hmm, I must’ve gotten a bad cartridge (or cartridges) even though they were unopened/sealed from HP. Nonetheless, I threw them all out, then bought a new set of the regular 218a HP brand cartridges (totaling $300-400). Installed them in the printer, and wouldn’t u know the prints still came just as bad as they were before. So in total I’ve spent well over $1,000 on this printer to not even use it anymore. I’ve tried trouble shooting every possibility every trick in the book, to no avail. I think it’s shady of HP that CLEARLY the starter cartridges the printer came with are of far better quality than those they provide as replacements, leading you to believe you have a great printer until u replace the ink. By that point, it’s too late to return, I’ve wasted over $1,000 over this garbage printer & toners, and still am unable to print one single page of a properly colored print out.. I was a fan of HP printers all my life but this purchase/experience may have just added them to my blacklist of “will never buy again” if it’s got the “HP” logo on it. They’re theirs and clearly have some deviant practices going on, from my experience. So in conclusion, my message would be to avoid this printer at all costs. Don’t trust Amazon’s “preferred choice” logo that I fell for and trusted. I wish someone would have informed me these issues before I bought this thing - i would’ve saved over a grand that’s been stolen from me, along with all the headaches.

I’ve been using the HP Color LaserJet Pro 3201dw in my automotive shop, and overall it’s been a very reliable workhorse. Right out of the box, setup was straightforward—HP did a good job making the process simple, and I had it up and running in no time without any headaches. The print speed is one of the standout features. This thing moves quickly, pushing out pages fast enough to keep up with a busy shop environment, which is exactly what I needed. It’s rated around 25–26 pages per minute, and in real use it definitely feels that quick. Toner life has also been impressive. I don’t feel like I’m constantly swapping cartridges, which is a big deal when you’re printing invoices, work orders, and customer paperwork all day. It keeps operating costs reasonable over time. Physically, the printer is a good size. It’s not overly bulky or heavy, so it’s easy enough to move around or place where you need it without dedicating a huge amount of space. For a laser printer, that’s a nice bonus. Day-to-day use is simple and straightforward. The controls are easy to understand, and everything just works without a lot of fuss. Wireless printing is reliable, and it connects quickly when sending jobs from different devices. Paper capacity is adequate for my needs. It handles a steady flow of printing in a business setting without constantly needing refills, which keeps things running smoothly during busy hours. Print quality is what you’d expect from a laser printer—clean, sharp text and solid color output for forms and basic graphics. It’s not meant for photo printing, but for business use it does the job well. Overall, this is a dependable, no-nonsense printer. Fast, efficient, and easy to live with—exactly what you want in a shop environment where downtime and complications just aren’t acceptable.

This printer is just a printer not a scanner or a copier. It works well and I finally have a printer in which the ink isn't constantly drying up or running out after one or two pages printed. The cons of this machine is that it turns itself on in the middle of the night-midnight, 2 am, 3 am, it is not predictable but it will wake up anyone in a bedroom near by and just when you think it has quited down it starts again. A bright light shines out of it and it makes a tremendous amount of noise. We tried to remedy this by turning it off when not in use, but when you do that you have to reregister it and install drivers the next time you want to use it.

Don’t do it unless you want to go the poor house. This is the most frustrating printer I have ever owned. I can’t get toner from Amazon…because the ones sold on AMAZON don’t work in this printer even when it indicates it has the proper chip. My only choice is to go to Office Depot and spend $499. on a 4 color toner box. It’s also very difficult to trouble shoot, The menu screen is Disfunctional for most processes

I bought this printer 15 months ago, and it worked as expected—for about a month. After that, it became a constant cycle of reinstalling drivers, dealing with spurious error messages (such as reporting that it was out of paper when the tray was full), and wondering whether my computer would recognize it on any given day. Sometimes my laptop (also an HP) would detect the printer immediately; other times it acted as if the printer didn't exist. Running HP's diagnostics would invariably report that everything was fine and even print a successful test page. Yet moments later, when I tried to print an actual document, Windows would fail to recognize the printer or return another printing error. To rule out my computer as the problem, I tried the printer with two different brand-new HP laptops. The behavior was exactly the same. I also connected the printer directly via USB to eliminate any network issues, but the problems continued. The printer itself may have decent print quality, but reliability is what matters most. A printer that only works when it feels like it isn't a tool—it's a source of constant frustration. I cannot recommend this product.

I love the print quality unfortunately the Wi-Fi feature is not the best. I have to reboot the printer several times to get it to work consistently. Even though it says Wi-Fi is connected, I cannot find the printer as an available device. Otherwise a great product.

Laser printers have a reputation for being bulky beasts, which is true for most professional models and those designed for photography and graphic work. This one, however, is a personal or small office printer that prints at 24 ppm, fully compatible with the latest Apple technologies, very easy to set up, and delivered with ready-to-use toner cartridges—just plug it in, and it's good to go. The print quality is excellent, and you can find compatible toners that will cost you less than what you typically spend on an inkjet printer. Having used all kinds of laser printers in my life—the first one being an Apple—I’m accustomed to high-end graphic laser printers. Yet, the HP Color LaserJet Pro 3201dw impressed me greatly, despite being designed purely for office use. The only issue I encountered was getting it recognized on the Ethernet network. I initially set it up via Wi-Fi, then forced a firmware update, after which it became visible on the Ethernet network. In conclusion, this is a very good color laser printer, seemingly reliable.

Es una buena impresora, la uso en casa para las tareas de mi hija

Excellent value, works well. Prints on both sides of the paper. Great colour.

não existe tonner no Brasil, não comprem

La peor impresora. Imposible comprar los cartuchos en México

Nice looks and small size were a plus for our office. Awful, tiny screen hard to see and use. Have had problems since we purchased on both Mac and PC's. Would only print a page or two at a time. Ink is very expensive at around $450 for high capacity colour. Updating this review as this printer was so bad, that we had to throw it out. It would turn on sporadically, then not turn on when you need it, print streaky, used way to much ink. We would have to spend around through $450 month on ink and we don't do a tonne of printing. There are actually other great printers in this price range with affordable manufacturer refills. I'm actually amazed that a product like this was made by a company who has been doing this for so long.
