Is this the right printer for you?

Who the HP Color LaserJet Pro 4201dn Printer is actually for

Most printer pages just tell you what a printer does. Here's the honest version: when this machine is the right choice, when it's fine, and when you should look at something else. We sell a lot of these for a reason, but the reason is not "every office."

Best fit

Pick this if...

  • You run a workgroup of up to 10 people that needs fast color printing on a wired network — no scan, no copy, no fax.
  • You print 750-4,000 pages a month with a real color mix.
  • You want HP Wolf Pro security preconfigured for a regulated environment.
  • You're on a wired-only network policy (this is the dn — Ethernet only).
  • You're replacing an aging Color LaserJet Pro M454dn — same form factor, faster, better color, lower toner cost with TerraJet.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You occasionally walk over to print from a USB stick — wait, you don't, that's the dw model. The dn doesn't have walk-up USB.
  • You want a third tray — the 28N93A 550-sheet feeder takes total input to 850 sheets.
  • You print up to 5,000 pages a month — the 50,000 max duty handles it; plan on 210X high-yield cartridges.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You need wireless or Bluetooth — no wireless on this model. Get the 4201dw (4RA86F) instead.
  • You need to scan, copy, or fax — print-only. Get a Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4301fdn or 4301fdw.
  • Your color volume is under 10% — go mono with a LaserJet Pro 4001dn for less than half the per-page cost.
  • You print over 5,000 pages a month consistently — step up to a Color LaserJet Enterprise 6700 or X654.
  • You want a touchscreen — this is a 4-line LCD with a twist-and-click dial.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The HP Color LaserJet Pro 4201dn is the wired single-function color laser in HP's 4201 series — print only, no scan or fax. Best fit: workgroups of up to 10 people printing 750-4,000 pages a month with real color content who don't need an MFP. Print speeds are 35 ppm letter (33 ppm A4) in both black and color, first page out 9.1 seconds black / 10 seconds color, max duty 50,000 pages/month. Standard input is 300 sheets (50-sheet MP + 250-sheet tray 2), expandable to 850 with the 28N93A 550-sheet feeder. Auto duplex is standard. The 4-line backlit LCD with twist-and-click dial is the only operator interface — fine for a network printer that lives in a back room, less great if you need walk-up settings (that's the dw with walk-up USB). Connectivity is Gigabit Ethernet and USB 2.0 only. HP Wolf Pro Security preconfigured. Uses HP TerraJet 210A or 210X high-yield toner — the TerraJet design uses less plastic and lower energy than the previous-gen cartridges. The thing buyers regret: skipping the dw model. Wireless plus walk-up USB add maybe $80 at order time and unlock real flexibility.
