Customer Reviews

This printer didn't work for me. Maybe not for others too
PROS: low price, prints sharp and clean, quiet printing.
CONS: won't handle all paper stock. Warm-up time is 1-2 minutes.

I bought this printer to replace my 14 year old Hp LJ 4MP. I assumed the CP1215 would be capable of doing the same things my old one did and more in color.
My immediate need was to print out baby shower invites. The card stock was within the limits of HP's recommendations, no thicker than a 4x6 card. The printer would print 1 invite, then error out with "misprint". After 20 minutes of making sure I removed all the tabs and protectors that HP ships with and making sure this model supported 4x6 card stock, I found a way to get the rest of my stock printed. I had to press the resume button, causing it to reinitialize the warm-up sequence and then print. Took 30 minutes to do 30 invites.

This printer seems fine to print every day stuff. But if you print specialty paper, size and type, be aware it might not handle the paper well.

I expected better from HP
I ordered the printer from Amazon; shipped and rec'd in good time and condition. Directions to setup simple and straight forward.

Thought I was done. Started back to work, printed some docs with some color diagrams. Particularly the imagery was blury, almost as if they had shadows. Uhg, open and read manual; no help. Call HP customer support; now to their credit, "Bob" was helpful and patient. Patient because he explained my printer needed calibrating; 3 times worth. Then download and install latest firmware; oh, and calibrate 2 more times. Each calibrations cycle seemed to last 2 or 3 minutes; but I wasn't timing it. Printed off some test pages, good, problem solved or so I thought.

Next came this "spooler subsystem app" error. Uhg, what is this; google find out it's a .dll problem; going to require regedit. Ah no, I'm going to take a short cut and restore xp to yesterday setting so I can get back to work. Nope, that won't do it. Mind you, I can't print off the directions either. [..]

Follow the instructions, reinstall printer. What do you know, it works again. Folks it just shouldn't be this hard. I thought I was going to alleviate these problems by buying HP? Maybe next time.

So I've printed 100 pages or so now and for the money, I'm satisfied with the results. Would I recommend to a friend, reluctantly...

Great Printer!
I bought this printer about a year ago to print labels for our home business. All our inkjet printed labels were fading too fast to sell our product. We got the laser printer and now our labels look great and professional. I've had no problems. I have printed labels, party invitations, pictures, etc. on label paper, cardstock and regular paper. Everything looks great and professional. Very easy to use printer. Also, I am still using the original toner cartridges that came with it. I just ordered a new black cartridge but I probably won't have to replace it for another week or two. The color cartridges are still at 50% so they will last a while longer. I'm very happy with this printer.
