The HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4303fdw is now in stock at Mascom International for KSh 93,000, brand new and sealed, ready for collection at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. This machine prints, copies, scans, and faxes from one unit, running at up to 33 pages per minute on A4 in both black and color. A 4.3-inch color touchscreen sits on the front panel. A 50-sheet document feeder reads both sides of a page in a single pass, and dual-band Wi-Fi joins the Gigabit Ethernet port for wired network use. Four separate toner cartridges sit inside, already fitted and ready to print on day one.
Mascom International stocks the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4303fdw for offices that have outgrown a small desktop unit. Accounting firms preparing KRA iTax filings, law practices printing bundles for Milimani Law Courts, SACCOs issuing member statements, clinics printing patient records, and schools running termly report cards all hit the same wall: an inkjet that streaks after sitting idle over a long weekend, and a queue of staff waiting behind one slow device. The 4303fdw takes 3 to 10 people printing up to 4,000 pages monthly without slowing down, and it copies, scans, and faxes from the same footprint you gave the old machine.
Buyers across Kenya tell us the running cost is what settles the decision. Laser toner does not dry out between jobs, and the HP 230X high-yield black cartridge covers roughly 7,500 pages, which is several months of work for a mid-sized Nairobi office. Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya, Mascom International lets you print a live test page on the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4303fdw at our Kimathi Street counter before you pay. Walk in Monday to Saturday, or order for pay-on-arrival delivery to your county.
Common Questions About the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4303fdw
How fast does the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4303fdw print a full color document?
Up to 33 pages per minute on A4, in color and in black alike. There is no colour penalty on this unit, which matters when you are printing branded proposals or marketing flyers under deadline. The first page lands in roughly 9.5 seconds in black and 10.5 seconds in color from ready state. Two-sided printing runs at 29 images per minute automatically. A 40-page tender document therefore finishes in well under two minutes, cover page and charts included.
Can the 4303fdw scan both sides of a page without me flipping it?
Yes. The 50-sheet feeder carries two scan heads, so it reads the front and back of every page in one pass. Load a 30-page double-sided contract, press scan, and you get a 60-side PDF without touching the stack. The cheaper 4303dw model reads one side only. For firms digitising title deeds, audit files, or student records, this single feature saves hours each week. Scanned files go straight to email or a network folder.
What does it cost to keep the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4303fdw running?
The 4303fdw uses HP 230A and 230X toner cartridges in four separate colors. Standard 230A black covers about 2,000 pages and each 230A color cartridge about 1,800 pages. The 230X high-yield versions stretch to roughly 7,500 pages black and 5,500 pages per color. Because the four cartridges are separate, you replace only the color that finishes. Most Kenyan offices print mostly black, so the color cartridges last many months. Toner is widely stocked in Nairobi, including at our Kimathi Street counter.
Will this printer work on my office Wi-Fi and with Safaricom fibre?
Yes. The 4303fdw carries dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi, so it runs on both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands of any standard router, including the ones Safaricom and Zuku install with home and office fibre. It also has a Gigabit Ethernet port for a cable run to your switch. Wi-Fi Direct lets a visitor print from a phone without being added to your network at all. If your fibre link drops, printing over the local network carries on unaffected.
Who should buy the 4303fdw instead of a cheaper inkjet?
Any office printing more than about 500 pages a month. Inkjets cost less at purchase but dry out during idle weeks, and the per-page cost climbs sharply once you print in volume. The 4303fdw is rated for up to 50,000 pages a month, with 750 to 4,000 pages the recommended working range. Accounting practices, law firms, clinics, schools, and county offices sit squarely in that band. Text also comes out sharper, since laser toner is fused rather than sprayed.
Does the fax function still matter for a Kenyan business?
For some sectors it does. Insurance underwriters, shipping and clearing agents at Mombasa port, older bank branches, and several government departments still accept fax submissions. The 4303fdw includes a 33.6 kbps fax modem, 500 pages of fax memory, and 100 stored numbers, connected through a standard RJ-11 line port. If you never fax, the function simply sits unused. You are not paying a large gap over the non-fax model, and the same port stays available should a client later ask for faxed copies.
How much paper does the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4303fdw hold?
Three hundred sheets across two trays as standard: 250 sheets in the main tray plus 50 in the multipurpose tray for letterheads and envelopes. An optional 550-sheet third tray raises the total to 900 sheets, so a busy department can go days between refills. The output bin stacks 150 finished sheets. Media weight support runs from 60 to 163 g/m2, covering plain A4 through certificate card stock. Envelopes load 15 at a time in the multipurpose tray.
Is the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4303fdw secure enough for confidential files?
It ships with HP Wolf Pro Security preconfigured, which checks the firmware each time the unit starts and blocks unauthorised changes. Job storage with private printing holds a document in memory until you enter a PIN at the panel, so payroll and board papers do not sit in the output tray. Network management runs over HTTPS and SNMPv3. Your IT contact can lock the control panel settings behind a password, and network traffic runs over HTTPS rather than plain HTTP.
How hard is the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4303fdw to set up in a small office?
Most offices have it printing within twenty minutes. Power it on, follow the touchscreen prompts to join Wi-Fi or plug in the Ethernet cable, then install drivers from hp.com/support on each computer. The toner cartridges are already fitted, so there is no messy first-time install. Phones connect through AirPrint or Mopria with nothing to install. Our Nairobi CBD team walks you through network setup by phone or WhatsApp if you get stuck.
