HP LaserJet 3300 verses the 3330

1) While several recommend the 3300, does anyone recommend the 3330 which includes the auto document feeder?

2) Often packages have both legal and letter documents. Will the 3300 print both letter and legal automatically(meaning can you put some legal paper in the priority feed tray)? Will the 3300 pull the right size paper between legal and letter automatically?

3) OR, the specs on the 3330 indicates that it has two trays, thus, will it switch automatically between sizes?

I will spend up if it is worth it. Thanks in advance. --SpeedyNotary.

I have the 3330 which include faxing. That is what sets it apart from the 3300. The doc feeder is included with the 3330, but I believe it is optional on the 3300.

As for two trays, that is a misnomer. The 3300 series (including the 3330) only has one real tray. It has an override feeder but it isn't a second tray so it doesn't have the ability to pick between letter and legal. However, this is not a problem. Just print all your edocs on legal size.

If you don't need faxing, stay with the 3300 and the optional ADF, but if you do want to use it as a fax machine, then the 3330 (actually the 3380 now) is the way to go.

I agree. The 3330 is great. Quick printing of E-Docs and faxed documents.

Thanks for your comments. Much appreciated. Was going to buy the 3330 used at CompuAmerica. You are correct that HP has discontinued the 3330 and replaced it with the 3380.

Compu-America has a "refurbished" printer. Big difference from "used". Believe me, they are not used. I've puchased 2 & they are just as new as the one I bought for $100's more. You also get the HP "new" warranty.
