HP Color LaserJet Pro LaserJet Pro 4202dn Color Printer, Ethernet Only; Duplex

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

For £307.49 ex-VAT, the HP Color LaserJet Pro 4202dn (Ethernet only) is a sensible “small office workhorse” if you want reliable colour without the faff. The duplex printing and Ethernet-first setup make it easy to drop into a shared environment—no messing about with Wi‑Fi reliability or device-by-device pairing. In day-to-day use it’s the kind of printer that just keeps churning through bills, marketing sheets, and internal colour documents, and the running costs tend to feel predictable compared with cheaper, fussier colour models.

That said, I wouldn’t buy it if you need mobile printing or lots of casual printing from laptops/phones—because “Ethernet only” means you’ll be relying on network access and IT/process. Also, if your print volume is very low, a colour laser can become a costly choice once you factor in toner and the fact that colour printers generally don’t earn their keep like mono units do. Overall: buy this if your team prints regularly in colour and you want straightforward network duplex printing; skip it if you’re sporadic, mainly mono, or you need easy wireless.
