Engineered for Sustainability
9% back in HP Rewards
HP’s entry-level Enterprise-class Color MFP with speeds up to 28 ppm[9] and strongest security.[1]
HP Office Laser Multifunction Printers are designed for SMBs and small workteams in larger companies, delivering enhanced productivity, simplified workflows and reduced costs.
This printer is intended to work only with cartridges that have a new or reused HP chip, and it uses dynamic security measures to block cartridges using a non-HP chip. Periodic firmware updates will maintain the effectiveness of these measures and block cartridges that previously worked. A reused HP chip enables the use of reused, remanufactured, and refilled cartridges. More at:

Easy to use, simple to manage

HP FutureSmart firmware can be updated with the latest features[2] to optimize your investment for years to come. Centralize control of your printing environment with HP Web Jetadmin—and help build business efficiency.[3] Easily enable workflows across your fleet with a consistent user experience and intuitive, tablet-like icons. Set up this MFP fast, and easily manage device settings to help increase efficiency.

The world’s most secure printing[1]

The operating code (BIOS) is automatically checked during startup and repairs itself if compromised. Common Criteria certified[4] to continually monitor memory activity to detect and stop attacks in real time. Firmware is automatically checked during startup to determine if it’s authentic code—digitally signed by HP. The printer’s outgoing network connections are inspected to stop suspicious requests and thwart malware.

Enhanced productivity to empower work teams

Give workgroups what they need to succeed with hundreds of HP and third-party solutions and card reader support. Optimize workflows, reduce steps and errors, and support mobile workers with optional MFP apps that meet your specific business needs. Help ensure the security of confidential information with PIN/Pull printing to retrieve print jobs. Stay connected with an optional accessory for wireless,[6] Bluetooth® Low Energy, and NFC touch-to-print.

Sustainability is smart business

Help save paper right out of the box. Two-sided (duplex) printing is set at default for automatic savings.[7] Help reduce wasted paper and toner by only printing jobs that are truly needed, using HP Secure Print.[8] Save energy without sacrificing performance—this MFP is ENERGY STAR® and Blue Angel certified. Remove barriers and help meet compliance and accessibility standards with the HP Accessibility Kit (includes Braille overlay and tactile adhesives, an HP Access Handle, and BigKeys LX Keyboard) and compatibility with HP Accessibility Assistant.[8]

Rated 2 out of 5 by Office77 from So so. Will network for shared printing. Bought for small office to use on the network for shared printing. The driver is incompatible for printing excel files. Had to hire an IT person to trouble shoot the driver. The universal driver isn't working. HP should fix that.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from If you have a small business, this is the MFP for you I bought this printer after first purchasing the M4 301MFP. This particular printer however or multifunction printer offers everything with the exception of built-in Wi-Fi. This was the solution was to purchase the M480 and then install a 3100 W jet direct for Wi-Fi. This seems to be doing everything that we wanted it to do, and in addition, provides us with an economical way to replenish the toner. I would recommend this to a friend.
