This is the update to the M479dw. I ordered the 4301fdw to replace my fantastic M281fdw. It arrives in a couple of days. I really love the 281 and it has been amazing, but it’s about out of toner after 5 years of ownership. I decided I want to digitize all the papers I have lying around, and my 281 doesn’t have duplex scanning, so instead of replacing the toner, I decided to replace the printer. I would really love to see this printer tested by RTINGS!

I got the MP 281 in 2019 and the transfer belt is now damaged causing parts of the page to have toner on it (blank areas) . I recently bought the MFP 3301fdw since it is brand new. I’ve had nothing but issues with it. The main problem is that color prints are way too dark and overly saturated, making pictures look too dark and fake looking. My 281 had better color representation. I got the 283 and it is basically the same as the 281 (just uses a different toner model). To me, the 283 is a better color printer than the 3301 or 4301.
