Overview

Not a desktop inkjet, the HP Color LaserJet CP5225dn is a networked laser printer that handles card stock, envelopes, labels and transparencies. An input tray and a multipurpose tray feed it, and automatic duplexing cuts paper use.

Shared color printing for a small team is the reason to look: HP describes it for three to fifteen users, with auto-on and auto-off to save energy. The limit is its footprint, because it weighs as much as a small appliance and does not scan or copy.

Who it's for

An office of several people that prints color documents, envelopes and labels over a network will use the duplexing and tray capacity. A home user, or anyone needing scan and copy, should look at a smaller all-in-one.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Automatic two-sided printing
  • Prints on many media types
  • Wide media up to tabloid size
  • Ethernet networking built in
Cons
  • Large and heavy
  • Print only, no scanning
  • Needs HP 307A cartridges

Performance notes

Laser printing fuses toner to the page, giving sharp text at office speeds. The listing gives the same pages per minute in color and black. Two trays hold plain paper and special media, and Ethernet lets many users share one device.
