- Bottom Line:
- The Color LaserJet CP1215 is HP's entry-level printer built to serve small workgroups, but it suffers from frustratingly slow print speeds, a missing LCD screen, and other problems. Your $299 will go much further with the Dell 1320c, another color laser with faster print speeds for the same price.

The good: Easy installation; prints high-quality color documents; supports manual duplexing; small footprint.
The bad: Expensive; not compatible with Mac OS; slow color prints; lacks LCD display; ships with bite-size cartridges; fixed resolution.

Affordable, simple, great deal for $150
by vbluguitar on September 21, 2009
Pros: 1. CHEAP - we paid 149.99 - all other color lasers were $299 or more
2. Small - this printer is fairly small for a color laser and fits nicely on our PC hutch.
3. simlple - this is definitely low frills. It prints. Hurray.Cons: 1. intro carts won't last long
2. No single sheet feed tray = no envelopes - I don't need this so I don't care.
3. I hope it lasts. Some people are complaining about constant jams.Summary: I love the small size and price. This is perfect for my wife and kids and even some small business use. In the long run the ink is WAY cheaper ...
Summary: I love the small size and price. This is perfect for my wife and kids and even some small business use. In the long run the ink is WAY cheaper in a laser due to the 1000 page per cart yeild.
As a tip to all y'all, be sure to turn the "out of ink" override on. The printer will tell you that you are out of ink by the number of pages you print, not how much actual ink you have when the override is off. turning the override on will allow you to print many more pages with your color carts than if you have it set to the normal page count mode, especially if you print a lot of black and white. Hope that helps!3 out of 3 users found this user opinion helpful.

Definitely beats any Ink Jet Printer but...
by harleyy2 on August 24, 2012
Pros: Color quality
Long Lasting Ink Cartridges
Photo printingCons: Not a Network Printer - have to set that up manually
Printer squeaks a lot nowSummary: Alright....this is an OK Color Laser Jet Printer. It's not the best...it's not the worst yet because this is the 1st one I've owned. I ...
Summary: Alright....this is an OK Color Laser Jet Printer. It's not the best...it's not the worst yet because this is the 1st one I've owned. I bought this because I bought it for $100 online and I HATED my ink jet printer because it was just 100% JUNK. The ink cartridges on this last a lot longer (about 8-12 months) compared to my ink jet printer (buying ink about once a month). One thing I've noticed is that this printer started squeaking before, during and after it prints. I'm not sure if it's something I did to it or not but it doesn't affect the print quality (at least...not right now it doesn't). The color quality is honestly BEAUTIFUL. I also print my Christmas Cards on this printer...so that's a +!
Overall: OK first printer - since it's not a network printer...it took a little time manually hooking it up on other computers in the household. The color quality definitely exceeds my expectations especially when printing photos and Christmas Cards. The squeaking does get annoying but as long as it doesn't effect the print quality I'll live with it. -
TERRIBLE!!
by OptimusPrime34234 on August 31, 2011
Pros: The ink lasts for some time.
Cons: It's very large and bulky and takes up too much space on my desk. Other than space, it gives me TECHNICAL PROBLEMS. It takes forever just to print a few pages. Also there were many paper jams. This thing isn't very durable.
Summary: Just don't buy this product.

Just terrible
by ronl_ict on July 19, 2011
Pros: Low initial cost, relatively small footprint for a colour printer
Cons: Toner rip-off, paper tray extremely small, automtaic machine 'calibration' is vey annoying

Summary: I bought this colour printer even though most of the printing I do is black and white (cause it's supposed to be less expensive). For the most part, I use the 'print in black and white ' feature. Having owned the priner for less thsn a year now, I have replaced the b&w cartridge once (which is fine) and have printed maybe 25 pages in colour at most. Today when I went to print in colour, the printer told me I had 1 colour page left for all the colour toners. I tried shaking the toners but to no avail. So I got 25 colour pages out of the toners and now have to replace all them. Given the other annoynaces associated with this machine (it decides to recalibrate itself, just as you're about to print which causes unnessary delays + you're constantly feeding the machin paper cause the tray is the smallest I've ever seen) I'm tempted to just throw the thing out . (I certainly aint buying any more colour toner.)

Do not over ride the color or you will pay big bucks
by phototiger on May 22, 2011
Pros: worked for a time....
Cons: I went through less than 3 black ink cartridges for I use mostly black and had it on over ride for black as HP allows, yet after the third black cartridge the black horizontal lines have steadily appeared larger and I have found out that I would have to g
Summary: If you can get by with a black and white, don't buy this a color one or a HP like it!

Pros: Wireless set-up was quite easy, in direct contrast to other reviews. Set up two laptops and three desktops without any failures

An abysmal offering - HP should be ashamed
by peter_dalton on February 11, 2011
Pros: There is only one pro - the colour print quality is excellent.
Cons: No User Manual - Installation disk does not NOT behave as expected and leaves you in 'mid-air' -- grey-on-grey digital display is very hard to read without a torch - slow to print - plastic shell is flimsy.
Summary: HP support took five weeks to respond to complaints and requests for aid, during which the machine was useless. We are surprised by HP's attitude and will neither buy ...

For the intended purpose, this printer does the job!
by mlee8249 on January 31, 2011
Pros: Easy set-up, smaller footprint and quiet operation makes this small office or personal laser printer a bargain. I purchased mine at Office Depot for a mere $100.00, which was cheaper than the replacement cartridges to my now obsolete Magicolor 2300W.
Cons: I would like a single page feed and maybe some control over resolution, but for what I do, it's minor.
Summary: This laser does the job as intended and it does it well. I got it hook up to my wireless network as the primary network printer in 3 minutes flat, ...
Summary: This laser does the job as intended and it does it well. I got it hook up to my wireless network as the primary network printer in 3 minutes flat, where my previous laser would not hook up at all. At the price I purchased it for, this was a no loss purchase. My 2300W was in need of a new drum which would set me back $165.00...why bother? Bottom line: if you don't need blazing speed or high numbers of prints, this one works!
