Rank #6 in Best Laser Printer 2026: 10 Ranked, and Why the Cheap One Costs More
HP LaserJet Pro MFP 3302fdw Colour Laser Printer, Print/Scan/Copy/Fax
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The HP LaserJet Pro MFP 3302fdw is the only colour machine in our laser-printer ranking, and it takes sixth place as the choice for a home office that genuinely needs colour and the full set of functions. It prints in colour, scans through an automatic document feeder, copies and faxes, runs at about 25 pages a minute, and adds a TFT touchscreen and a front USB port. As one device that does everything, it is a lot of capability for GBP 310, and it holds a solid 4.2 stars across 631 ratings.
The cost to know about is the toner, and colour makes it steep: a colour laser has four cartridges — black plus cyan, magenta and yellow — so feeding it is far dearer per page than any mono machine above it, which is why it sits below them for a home office that mostly prints black text. The listing also has two eyebrow-raisers worth noting: it records the weight as "1 g" (this is a 17 kg machine) and its dimensions as "4.19 x 4.18 x 3.41 metres", both plainly wrong catalogue entries. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing rather than our own testing.
How those 631 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.2 stars.

Questions people ask
Why does colour laser cost more to run?
Because it has four toner cartridges to feed — black plus cyan, magenta and yellow — rather than the single black cartridge of a mono machine. That makes the cost per page much higher, which is why our ranking places this below the mono printers for a home office that prints mostly text. The cartridges are the HP 219A (standard) and 219X (high yield).
What can it do besides print?
Everything a home office typically needs: it prints in colour, scans through an automatic document feeder, copies and faxes. It has a TFT touchscreen and a front USB port, and does automatic two-sided printing at about 25 pages a minute.
How much does it weigh and how big is it?
The listing is wrong on both: it gives the weight as "1 g" and the dimensions as over four metres, which is impossible. In reality it is a substantial desktop machine of roughly 17 kg and about 41.9 x 41.8 x 34.1 cm — the metres figure is centimetres in the wrong unit.
Does it connect over Wi-Fi?
Yes — the title lists wireless and a front USB port, though the specification's network field shows only Ethernet. Both work, and it prints from a phone through the HP app.
Should I buy it if I only occasionally need colour?
Probably not. If most of your printing is black text, a mono laser plus the occasional trip to a print shop for colour is cheaper over time. Buy this when colour output, scanning, copying and faxing are all genuine, regular needs.
How fast is it?
The listing gives 25 pages a minute in black and white, with the first page out in about 9.7 seconds, and it prints at 600 dpi. It handles a wide range of media including card stock, envelopes, labels and transparencies.
