HP LaserJet Pro MFP 3101fdw

In this hp laserjet pro mfp 3101fdw review, the HP LaserJet Pro MFP 3101fdw earns the best monochrome for small teams label and sits at number 8 of 9 in our 2026 all in one laser printer guide. It is a black-and-white multifunction laser printer that prints, scans, copies and faxes, and HP rates it for workgroups of up to 7 people. The numbers tell the story: 35 black-and-white pages per minute, a 4.2-star average from 968 Amazon ratings, and a price of $378.90. Small offices that share one machine across a few desks are the right buyers here, especially teams that handle sensitive documents and want security built in rather than bolted on later. Color printing is not part of the deal.

Day to day, the automatic document feeder and automatic two-sided printing do the heavy lifting, so a 20-page scan or copy job finishes without anyone standing at the glass. The flatbed scanner covers single sheets and bound documents, while the touch LCD keeps copy and fax settings simple. Paper capacity sits at 250 sheets in one tray, which means fewer refill trips during a busy week, and the printer accepts plain paper, labels, glossy film and glossy photo paper up to letter size. Resolution reaches 1200 x 1200 dpi for crisp text. Connectivity covers Ethernet, USB and Bluetooth, plus intelligent Wi-Fi that hunts for the strongest signal. HP Wolf Pro Security adds customizable protection, and HP lists 110 watts of typical draw with a 436-watt maximum.

Value is where the math gets interesting, because $378.90 buys a secure, 35 ppm monochrome all in one rather than the cheapest machine in the guide. By contrast, the Brother MFC-L2820DW costs about $100 less and accepts legal paper, so buyers with legal-size forms should look there first. Meanwhile, this HP ranks number 8 of 9 overall because other models print in color at a similar price. Even so, the HP LaserJet Pro MFP 3101fdw wins its category: few rivals match HP Wolf Pro Security, Ethernet, Bluetooth and a rated 7-person workload at this price. Note that it takes cartridges with original HP chips, and warranty coverage runs 1 year. If your team prints black text all day and shares one machine, this is the one to get.
