The HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4303fdw is available at Mascom International for KSh 89,000, brand new and sealed, with printing, scanning, copying and fax in one desktop unit. It prints colour and black pages at up to 33 pages per minute on A4, flips each sheet for two-sided printing on its own, and scans both sides of an original from its 50-sheet feeder. Dual-band Wi-Fi and Gigabit Ethernet link it to the whole office. You can watch the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4303fdw at work in our showroom at the Old Mutual Building on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Built for accountants, lawyers, estate agents and front-office teams across Kenya, the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4303fdw handles the paperwork that piles up by mid-morning. Invoices with a coloured logo, KRA filing summaries, eCitizen forms and signed tenancy agreements all pass through one machine. Anyone who has run a cheap inkjet in an Upper Hill office knows the pain: cartridges dry out, pages smudge and colour costs climb. Toner does not dry out, so the first page after a quiet week looks as crisp as the last. HP rates the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4303fdw for 750 to 4,000 pages a month.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell office printers from a catalogue, Mascom International keeps the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4303fdw on the floor, so you can test a scan to email before you pay. Compared with the 4303dw, this model adds a fax line and two-sided feeder scanning, which law firms and clinics still rely on. Customers across Nairobi tell us the touch display makes daily copying easy for staff who are not technical. Walk in to see it run, or order on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery to your office anywhere in Kenya.
Common Questions About the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4303fdw
How much is the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4303fdw printer in Kenya?
The HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4303fdw costs KSh 89,000 at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD, in its original HP box. That price covers the printer, four starter toner cartridges, a power cord, a USB cable and a 12-month warranty. Delivery is pay-on-arrival, so you inspect the unit before handing over money. The 4303dw sells for KSh 81,000, so the KSh 8,000 gap pays for fax and two-sided scanning from the document feeder. For offices that scan double-sided contracts every day, that difference earns its keep quickly.
Should I buy the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4303fdw or the 4303dw?
Pick the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4303fdw if your office faxes or scans stacks of double-sided pages. Both models print at up to 33 pages per minute, and both carry Wi-Fi, Gigabit Ethernet and a 50-sheet document feeder. The 4303dw has no fax, and its feeder scans only one side, so double-sided originals must be turned over by hand. It saves KSh 8,000 and suits teams that print far more than they scan. Mascom International stocks both models in Nairobi.
Will the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4303fdw cope with KPLC power cuts in Kenya?
The HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4303fdw runs on 220-240V mains, which matches Kenyan wall sockets, and drops to 0.8W in sleep. While printing it draws about 585W, so a small UPS meant for a router will not carry it. Plug it into a good surge protector to shield it from the spikes that follow KPLC outages. Once power returns, it restarts and rejoins your Safaricom or Zuku fibre router over Wi-Fi or Ethernet, and queued scans to email go out.
Does the fax on the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4303fdw still matter for Kenyan offices?
Yes, the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4303fdw sends and receives faxes at 33.6 kbps through its RJ-11 phone port. It keeps up to 500 pages of faxes in memory and stores 100 speed-dial numbers. Hospitals, insurers, advocates and some government offices still ask for faxed documents. If you only email scans, the fax port sits unused at no cost. If a client insists on fax, you are covered without buying and powering a second machine.
How many pages do the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4303fdw toner cartridges print?
The starter cartridges in the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4303fdw box print about 2,000 black pages and about 1,000 pages for each colour. After that, standard HP 230A cartridges give about 2,000 black or 1,800 colour pages. High-yield HP 230X cartridges give about 7,500 black and 5,500 colour pages each. An office printing 2,000 black pages a month would get close to four months from one 230X black cartridge. Ask Mascom International on WhatsApp for current toner prices.
Can I print from my phone to the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4303fdw?
Yes, the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4303fdw prints from iPhones through Apple AirPrint and from Android phones through Mopria, with no extra download needed. HP's own app is also supported for setup and printing. Wi-Fi Direct lets a visitor print without joining your office network, which helps at a busy reception desk. An estate agent in Kilimani, for example, can print a signed offer letter straight from WhatsApp while the client waits.
How fast does the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4303fdw scan documents?
The HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4303fdw scans up to 29 single-sided A4 pages per minute from its 50-sheet feeder. Double-sided originals run at up to 44 images per minute in black and white and 35 in colour, with no hand turning. Scans save as PDF, JPG or TIFF and can go straight to email, SharePoint or OneDrive. The flatbed glass handles passports, ID cards and bound books at up to 1200 dpi.
Who should buy the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4303fdw, and who should skip it?
The HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4303fdw suits small and mid-sized offices that print in colour, scan contracts and still fax. Law chambers, clinics, insurance agents and school bursars get the most from it. Skip it if you print only a few pages a week at home, where a compact inkjet or mono laser costs far less. Skip it too if you never fax and rarely scan double-sided pages, because the 4303dw covers everything else for KSh 8,000 less.

- HP 230A standard cartridges yield about 2,000 black pages or 1,800 pages per colour cartridge.
- HP 230X high-yield cartridges yield about 7,500 black or 5,500 colour pages, which usually lowers the cost per page.
- Toner powder does not dry out between jobs, unlike inkjet ink, so slow weeks waste nothing.
- Uses about 18W when ready and 0.8W in sleep, keeping the electricity bill small during idle hours.
Build, Processor and Footprint
- 1200 MHz processor with 512MB of memory, so large colour scans and long print queues move without stalling.
- Desktop footprint of 421 x 435 x 384 mm — it fits on a sturdy side table beside a reception counter.
- Weighs about 20.4 kg, so two people should lift it, and it stays put once placed.
