Summary: Which Printer Should You Choose?

Choose M111A Black & White Laser if you need:

  • A print-only device delivering 20 pages per minute on A4.
  • A smaller and lighter printer measuring 346 × 189 × 159 mm and weighing 3.8 kg.
  • Lower active printing consumption at 361 W, compared with 510 W for the 4103dw.
  • Lower printing sound pressure at 48 dB(A), compared with 54 dB(A).

Choose 4103dw Multifunction Laser if you need:

  • Printing, copying and scanning, including colour scanning and a 50-sheet ADF.
  • 40 ppm A4 printing and resolution up to 1200 × 1200 dpi.
  • Automatic duplexing, Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, AirPrint and Mopria.
  • A 350-sheet input capacity and replacement toner yields up to 9,700 pages.

The 4103dw is the overall winner for functionality, performance, connectivity and capacity. The M111A may suit users who only need wired printing and prioritise a smaller footprint, lower weight and lower active power use. Based on the supplied data, the M111A is available while the 4103dw is unavailable at the time of comparison.

What Is the Difference Between HP LaserJet M111A Black & White Printer and HP LaserJet Pro MFP 4103dw Printer?

Both models are monochrome laser printers designed for black-and-white A4 output. They support Hi-Speed USB 2.0 connectivity, handle plain paper, envelopes and labels, and list a maximum print size of 8.5 × 14 inches for Legal media.

The main difference is that the M111A is a print-only model, while the 4103dw prints, copies and performs colour scanning through a flatbed scanner and 50-sheet ADF. The 4103dw reaches 40 ppm on A4 compared with 20 ppm, and produces its first page in 6.3 seconds rather than 8.5 seconds. It also adds automatic duplex printing, Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, AirPrint, Mopria and a 2.7-inch colour touchscreen. Its input capacity is 350 sheets versus 150, while its highest listed replacement toner yield is 9,700 pages versus 975 pages.

The M111A benefits users who need straightforward USB printing in a smaller 3.8 kg device with lower active power use. The 4103dw is better suited to users who need document copying and scanning, an ADF, faster output, wireless access, and greater paper and toner capacity.
