HP Color LaserJet CP5225N LAN, A3 -värilasertulostin

The specs for the printer read "Scanner - Sheetfed". Guess what? It does NOT have a scanner. If it wasn't such a pain now that it's set up at our remote location, I would return it. The remote staff are not the most computer savvy (ironic, right?) so they had to have the Geek Squad come in to hook it up. I'm sure many would not have that problem but if you're not very computer literate, it might be a challenge. BUT, it's an HP so the quality is really good and I expect it to be a workhorse.

This product is absolute garbage. Plain and simple, does not work out the box. Will print 1 page if you're lucky... eventually. If you send multiple pages to print... it will print one or two pages... and will print a random amount of copies. Example, you send pages 1 - 10 to print. I will print (1) Page 1 and (25 copies) of page 4... It is terrible. HP does not help. They say the printer is out dated, and they do not support it. They told me it does not work with Windows 11... or PDF documents It is absolutely insane... to spend $1600 for a broken product and be told to essentially piss off....

It's heavy, and expensive and kinda primitive. 192 MB of RAM. That's megabytes. A tiny dot matrix interface with overburdened buttons like an old VCR. And only 600 dpi. And only one paper tray (bought a second 500 sheet for $500). It does what it's supposed to. Prints big and fast enough. Better after you install a 256 MB DIMM into its empty slot. Does PCL6 and postscript. Toner costs as much as the printer, although it comes with some. I guess it's reasonable and I'm happy. Would like another more modern option, but it gets the job done diligently. Oh yeah, it's immensely heavy. Don't set this up alone. Did I mention no 802.11? Just Ethernet, probably 100 base-TX. The specs are ancient. Pick up a small wifi bridge with an Ethernet port to connect it to your network. Maybe there's a jet-direct card for that, but it's not worth it.

You might think this printer overkill for a very small business with low usage, but it has eliminated all of my frustration with those ink jets. The laser print quality is great and it is always ready to go. My inkjets would suffer clogged nozzles when not used every day, and after many ink wasting cleaning cycles still would screwup when I need it most. This LaserJet works all the time every time, big relief to be working with professional equipment, so I can concentrate on more important things.

The quality of the images are so amazing..... Can't wait to see what all come of the projects planned.
