Questions & Answers

Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?JOHN M : This is one of 3 available main models of HP Color LaserJet Printers (CP5225dn, M751dn, and M856dn) that support 11x17 paper. I estimated the cost per page and total ownership (including toner, fuser, transfer kit, and drums (where applicable)) with low and high yield toner cartridges. For 100,000 pages, with high yield cartridges, the total cost of ownership for this printer comes in over $1700 cheaper than the M751dn and over $5500 cheaper than the CP5225dn.

Absolutely Useless

Web site description of product is very deceptive. Site says TWO trays ... but one of the "trays" is simply a bypass function. Site says that printer is duplex ... but only the one tray has the duplex function. We have and use Windows XP operating system. Web site says that you have no printer driver for XP operating system. Site has a "return information" section ... but at the very bottom of numerous fine print pages it says that returns are not accepted! We paid $6,085.80 for a product that is absolutely useless to us. Nevada Legal Press Corporation .... Order H335547572
