HP LaserJet Pro 3001dn - Review, Specs & Drivers

 HP LaserJet Pro 3001dn - The HP LaserJet Pro 3001dn is a compact, business-class mono laser built for small teams that live on black-and-white documents. As a print-only model with built-in duplex (2-sided) printing and wired Ethernet, it focuses on speed, text quality, and low fuss, perfect for batches of invoices, contracts, and shipping labels without paying for scanner hardware you don’t need.

Quick Verdict

Best for: small offices and WFH pros printing ~350–2,500 pages/month.
Why it’s worth it: fast 35-ppm engine, auto duplex, crisp 1200-dpi output, and Gigabit Ethernet in a tidy footprint.
Heads-up: monochrome and print-only; no built-in Wi-Fi (choose the 3001dw if you need wireless).

Highlights:

• Real-world speed: up to 35 ppm with first page out ~6–7 s, so short jobs finish quickly.
• Professional text: laser-sharp up to 1200 × 1200 dpi for forms and letters that look clean at small font sizes.
• Paper handling: 250-sheet input / 150-sheet output and automatic duplex reduce reloads and paper waste.
• Network-ready: Gigabit Ethernet + USB for reliable, secure office connectivity (no Wi-Fi on “dn”).
• Security/IT: admin controls and update tools suitable for managed fleets.
