Introductory Cyan/Magenta/Yellow: ~1,000 pages each) Power Cord Reference Guide and Setup Card Warranty Card (where required) Use Cases IT-Managed Wired Office Networks The 4303fdn suits organisations where printers connect via structured Ethernet cabling, and IT policy restricts or discourages wireless devices on the network. Gigabit Ethernet with 802.1x authentication allows the device to integrate directly into managed network infrastructure alongside existing switches and access controls. Furthermore, HP Web JetAdmin enables remote monitoring, firmware management, and policy enforcement without visiting the device physically. Document-Heavy Teams Requiring Scan-to-File and Fax Teams that process contracts, compliance documents, or supplier correspondence benefit from the single-pass duplex ADF, which handles 50-sheet batches at up to 44 ipm in black and white. Scan-to-email, scan-to-file, and TWAIN/WIA compatibility integrates with most document management platforms without additional middleware. Additionally, fax at 33.6 kbps with 500-page memory and 100 speed-dial numbers supports legal, finance, and healthcare environments where fax remains an active workflow channel. High-Volume Colour Printing for Shared Teams At 33 ppm in both black and colour, the 4303fdn handles large colour jobs — presentation packs, marketing materials, or illustrated reports — without the speed penalty that many colour laser printers impose when switching from mono output. The 50,000-page monthly duty cycle means the device handles sustained shared workloads without reliability concerns, even for teams printing at the upper end of the 750–4,000 page recommended monthly volume. Secure Document Environments HP Wolf Pro security arrives active out of the box, covering boot integrity validation and PIN/pull print release. Consequently, teams handling sensitive documents — payroll, legal agreements, or client-confidential materials — enforce controlled print release without purchasing or configuring additional security software. Moreover, routine firmware updates ensure the security posture keeps pace with emerging threats without manual IT intervention. Considerations No Wi-Fi — Ethernet and USB Only Wireless Printing Not Supported: The 4303fdn connects exclusively via Gigabit Ethernet and USB. It does not support Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, or Bluetooth. Mobile printing via HP Smart App, Apple AirPrint, and Mopria is only available when the device connects to the same network as the mobile device through Ethernet. Teams that require wireless or walk-up mobile printing should consider the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4303fdw instead, which adds dual-band Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth LE. No USB Cable Included: Unlike the 4303fdw, the 4303fdn box does not include a USB cable. Teams connecting directly via USB rather than Ethernet should add a USB cable to the purchase. Toner, Output Capacity, and Footprint Introductory Colour Toners Are Low-Yield: Starter colour cartridges supply approximately 1,000 pages each for cyan, magenta, and yellow. Teams with immediate high-volume colour needs should budget for HP 230X high-yield colour cartridges (~5,500 pages each) as an initial replacement purchase alongside the printer. Colour Toner Depletes Faster Than Black: At equivalent print volumes, colour channels consume toner roughly three times faster than the black cartridge. Monitoring individual colour channel levels prevents unexpected supply outages during busy periods. 150-Sheet Output Bin May Overflow on Large Jobs: The standard output tray holds 150 sheets. Teams printing consecutive large jobs should monitor the tray to avoid paper jams from overflow, particularly on runs exceeding 100 pages. Optional Tray 3 Sold Separately: The 550-sheet third tray (28N93A) significantly reduces paper reload frequency for high-volume environments but is not included in the box. Teams loading paper multiple times per day should factor this into the total purchase cost. Weight Requires Two People: At approximately 20.4 kg, the printer requires two people for safe installation and repositioning on a stable, load-bearing surface. macOS Compatibility Ceiling macOS Support Tops Out at Monterey (12): The official datasheet confirms compatibility through macOS 12 Monterey only. Users running macOS 13 Ventura or macOS 14 Sonoma should verify current driver availability via hp.com/support before purchasing. Need wireless connectivity? Compare with the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4303fdw, which adds dual-band Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth LE, and a USB cable in the box.

CD - THE BELFAST SESSIONS
This, our latest collection of songs, was recorded at RedBox Studios in Belfast. We’ve wanted to record there for awhile now and finally the timing was right for all. Dónal O’Connor one of the owners, produced it with expertise, poise, patience and not a few threats, the main one being “no more Guinness till youse get this track right.” Inspirational words indeed! He was somehow able to corral us and steer us in the right direction on each song. I’m sure he’d love to work with us again – maybe! We had a great time all together recording there, and hopefully dear fans you’ll enjoy listening. In these uncertain times remember, music hath charms to soothe a savage breast. I think that was a quote from Paul McCartney, or possibly Bob Dylan. Enjoy!
