I purchased this printer earlier this week to replace an HP 2600n that had failed. The software installed without issues on four computers, which rush either Windows Vista or Windows XP operating systems. No jam printing on any (or all) of the computers. Printer prints both color and B&W very rapidly. Duplex printing option works mountainous. Prints are high quality.
The only issues to date include:
1. Installation software offered either default or custom installation options. Even though I chose the custom option, the software gave me no choices for installation, and everything was installed on all four computers. I had to call customer wait on to then uninstall unnecessary software on three of the computers.
2. HP defaults this printer to the setting: Close at out. This setting stops the printer from printing when a print cartridge has reached the raze of its estimated life. I've found that a print cartridge has several hundred usable pages of life left when this setting is reached. You can override this setting by setting: Override out.
What a astonishing printer! After spending a runt fortune over the past 6 years with two top-of-the-line Epson Photostylus inkjet printers, I'd had enough when my R1800 started chewing through 50% of the 6 ink cartridges it has unbiased trying to score the nozzles cleaned....all at $14/cartridge. So I did a slight research and found the CP2025dn brand-new from HP. What a joy!
I unprejudiced hung it off the home router with its network interface and leave it on 24 hours a day. It goes into sleep mode (from which it only draws a couple of watts of power) yet it immediately wakes up begins printing within about 20 seconds. AND it doesn't clink and clang and accomplish all kinds of fuss: it objective prints! This is in what I would call an medium intensity home office or very intense personal spend. Four people are using it, 3 from windows, 1 mac and everyone loves it. Using the HP glossy laserjet photopaper it even produces decent pics - not arrive what an R1800 would do BUT at a allotment of the cost, about 50x as snappy, they're totally waterproof, and the quality is easily kindly enough for a school project, to mail pics to relatives, photobooks etc. But that's not the main thing it will be ragged for with prints from CVS and others only costing 10 or 15 cents for a 4x6.
Being that the inkjets seem like nothing but cash-cows for the printer manufacturers and the outrageously little number of pages that one gets out of a position of cartridges and the fact that the colossal majority of printing is not for photos anyway - but day-to-day text/graphic employ, laserjets seem the only map to go. From that perspective, this feels like the best money I've ever spent on a printer and I HIGHLY recommend it - you won't be sorry.
If you've been waiting for a color laser that does two-sided printing at a reasonable cost, your wait is over with the HP CP2025dn.
Previously if you wanted an HP that does color laser duplex printing, you needed to exhaust over $700. That has all changed with the CP2025dn. For only $50 more than the manual duplex printer (CP2025n) you win the duplex feature. This printer is posthaste with a print hurry of up to 21ppm. It is all in a compact footprint, not distinguished larger than HP's other sunless laser printers.
The negatives are few, however. The LED note (1-3/4" x 1.2") could have been larger and easier to read. The CP2025dn comes with 4 starter toner cartridges for 1200 pages. Their replacement toners are for up to 3500 pages, by comparison. Both of these were done by HP to retain their costs down
Sure, you can gather a color laser for $250 less, but not with the print rush and duplex feature. With this printer, HP is really giving you your money's worth.
