To attract and retain top talent, 60 percent of small businesses have implemented changes including flexible work arrangements. With these hiring trends in mind, an increasing number of small business employees are adopting hybrid workstyles. Yet, half of small businesses struggle to manage technology in a hybrid workplace. And 91 percent of small businesses still rely on printed documents to run their business.

Delivered in a compact design with groundbreaking performance, the 4200/4300 series enables maximum productivity with fast, two-sided color printing and scanning. Supported by robust management tools for de-centralized devices, along with industry-leading HP Wolf Security embedded and preconfigured right out of the box, the 4200/4300 series is designed to help businesses grow and make printing easier.

24 Comments on HP Announces New Eco-friendly Color Laser Printers
None of your printers will ever be eco-friendly unless they come with refillable ink cartridges, and judging how hp printers brick themselves or lose functionality if non-genuine or tampered cartridges are detected. You folks from HP are a long ways from letting that happen. So kindly f the f-off on that horse you guys rode in on.
Sincerely, the public.
Especially HP, who has a history of retroactively blocking the use of third-party ink on older printers.
I long for the day that someone makes an open source printer that is designed to actually print documents rather than squeeze as much money out of the user and cause endless frustration.
This corporate greenwashing is disgusting. If you want to "take care of the planet" first remove firmware locks, useless updates and DRM, and standarise toner or liquid ink cartridges so that all machines use the same models and not a hellish nightmare of different choices.
Oh, and stop the moronic softlocks that prevent colour printers from printing B/W pages when the yellow cartridge is low but the black is literally full. WHAT DO YOU NEED YELLOW FOR TO PRINT BLACK TEXT?????
Make refillable standard toner cylinders so that small business can refill them, but of course that won't happen because the "genuine" toner and all the stupid fearmongering like "don't use 'counterfeit' toner or your printer will start emitting deadly radiation that will cook your lungs" would be over.
They don't care about the planet or saving power, they don't care about people, they only care about money and ripping off businesses and normies that aren't tech savvy.
edit: and I'm not a greenpeace tree hugger I just despise printers and HP. Rage Against The Machine.
The lew laser printers require the use of the HP app which will undoubtably stop working in 2 years and render the printer useless.

It still uses PCL 6 and postscript but those are years-long standards.
drops the formatter unit like crazy, same exact problem like M407 - these printers have no business being in the enterprise portfolio
you need to see this not only from your view of enterprise user but also from a consumer (end user) - as soon as that warranty expires, you're going to get in a lot of hurt
At home I use a SL-C430W which honestly hasn't gone to crap since 2017, so I'm happy with it.
They need to make the toner packs refillable/reusable. Until they do this, they are lying to themselves and the public.
Of course this is HP, so there is 0 consistency, but we've had 2 different models require this, even if connected over USB.
We used to look out for printers made in China, now we have to look out for printers designed in Hell&Purgatory.
This is not a troll reply or anything, but in my years with working with HP business printers (not home/SOHO) I've never had to install or use the "Full Feature Software" itself.
Brother printers all the wayThe laserjet M110we is one example. Anything that is part of the HP+ program requires it.

I have to ask my coworker which other models he found.
Avoid any of the HP+ printers. The real corporate/business ones are the ones that don't need any HP proprietary software installed.
Brother printers are good too. Our alumni department has a HL-L5000D and its a trooper.
