 Inkjets are things of the past. Bye-bye past! August 31, 2010
tron3 (New Jersey)
While lacking some options like a network port, FAX and scanner/copier ability the HP CP1215 is viable option for the moderate business/home user. It is much smaller than some other color Laserjets, but still a sizeable footprint.
It required me to install two large Windows Service packs as a result of the software driver installation. I haven't fully explored the printer help available, but it offers some useful and interesting features. Such as percentage of toners left, how many pages printed, search for driver upgrades, etc. I can see it being a valuable tool if I exploit it.
I was having trouble with the color setting and found that the "Photo (AdobeRGB 1998)" setting comes closest to the color balance I enjoyed with my inkjet. The other settings were either too muddy, too rich, or too dark. As of now, I have little to no use for them. I don't suggest the default setting.
I had problems using the preset envelope option printing off center. I changed the setting to "manual feed" which easily corrected the problem, though I needed oan extra click to continue printing. A quick visit to the HP site let me find the new firmware download which fixed the preset envelope issue. It may fix other quirks you might be experiencing.
There is a handy port which raises above the paper tray. This allows the easy insertion of paper for special "one type" prints on different paper. The tray actually extends to accomodate legal size paper by pressing the blue extention tab and pulling out the front of the tray. Pretty nifty concept.
It takes a few seconds more than I care for the print to actually start, but once it does I have full page color prints in MUCH less time than inkjet. It doesn't handle linen business cards well as toner doesn't seem to get in the small crevices, even when using the "rough paper" option. The great thing is the toner doesn't smudge or smear if you get the paper wet as it repells water. It should be much more suited for archival of important documents.
Once you have the correct setting, the HP CP1215 excells in print quality on nearly any kind of paper. The brightness of the paper does little to hinder the brillance of the wax-like printed medium. There is even a "colored paper" setting so printing on colored paper is possible without losing too much color saturation - a problem with inkjet printers. This allows me to create and print my own razor sharp colorful letterhead on 100% cotton paper because it doesn't absorb toner as it does ink.
Warm up time is fast and puts inkjets to shame in terms of speed and quality. In spite of the high cost of toner you will yield much higher print jobs, and little loss of toner due to drum cleaning. I estimate the average user wastes 10 to 20 percent of ink on the head cleaning process. Considering the high cost of ink, color laserjets are the more economical decision for the long run. However, toner isn't cheap either - just more economical.
I have two Epson inkjets and they still have their place for me because one prints on CD/DVD disk, and the other is a wide carriage printer. In time I expect to be a Color LaserJet-only user. Inkjets are things of the past. Bye-bye past!
 Do not buy this printer! August 13, 2010

The Hewlett-Packard Color LaserJet CP1215 is not a printer you want to buy. The paper jams continually. The primitive, 1980s-type display constantly assails you with meaningless error messages. The display has a total of two buttons, one green and one peach, neither of which seem to do anything. The calibration cycles are long and random and noisy. And all of this dysfunction comes at an exorbitant price. The CP1215 seems to combine in one piece of equipment all the errors and problems with computer printers over the last quarter-century. Avoid this printer, folks. There are better printers on the market: namely, all of them.

At first I was really dissapointed with this product. It kept blurring and pixelating anything I printed in photoshop, and my other printers didn't do that. I resolved that problem by changing the resolution in photoshop from 72 to 300. That dramatically improved the print quality, giving me the crisp images I require for professional looking labels. I have no complaints thus far about the product. Pints come out beautifully. I definitely recommend this printer to people who need to print professional and waterproof labels for their small business. laser printers print dry ink resulting in water proof labels, which is a great bonus that you just don't get with inkjet printers.
Inexpensive, great color laser June 6, 2010

Hp entry-level printer - inexpensive printer BUT expensive toner cartridge replacements, unless you go in for replacement toner kits.
Good print quality. Not really meant for photographs, but great for flyers, brochures, dressing up a report etc.
Yes, slow color speed, but on par for most other low price color lasers.
The bottom-mounted paper drawer only holds 150 sheets, but it does the job.
Good Printer May 22, 2010

HP has price this model below cost, but have jacked up cost of replacement ink cartridge. Amazon prices HP CP1215 at around $224, cost of cartridges range $269.99 and up. Also note the cartridges that come with new printer are good for approximately 750 pages. This is a good printer, but make sure it fits your needs, and pocket book.
