The good Easy installation Prints high-quality colour documents Supports manual duplexing Small footprint The bad Expensive Not compatible with Mac OS Slow colour prints Lacks LCD display Ships with bite-sized cartridges Fixed resolution The HP Color LaserJet CP1215 is a simple, single-function laser printer designed to fit comfortably in a small business work group. At AU$299, its unobtrusive footprint and excellent quality colour and black output would have made an excellent alternative to the pricier HP Color LaserJet CP2025n, but we can't recommend a printer this limited; on top of being incompatible with any Mac OS, all of our speed tests indicate a super-slow output speed, and a severe feature drought dries up our enthusiasm. If you happen to be on a Mac, or typically print a large volume of colour documents, take a look at the more cost-effective Dell 1320c , another colour laser that offers faster colour prints and even a single-sheet manual-feed slot.
