HP Laserjet P2015dn Printer Review & Troubleshooting:

Expert Verdict

The HP Laserjet P2015dn is a good mono laser printer for the home, small office, or dorm room as it is compact, fast and produces decent text and graphics thanks to its good quality HP Laserjet P2015DN toner cartridges. The Lexmark E350d series is a better value proposition than this where you get more features for less money along with better print quality and comparable print speeds. Being a mono laser printer, the model of the HP LaserJet P2015dn printer is quite small, making it a good fit for small home offices and small apartments and dorm rooms. This model measures 13.8 inches wide, 14.3 inches deep, and 10.1 inches tall, and weighs just 24.3 pounds. The other models of the P2015 differ slightly in dimensions and weight due to features like extra paper trays and a built-in duplexer. The muted light and dark-grey colour scheme gives the printers a simple look.

Being a mono printer, this printer supports black HP Laserjet P2015DN toner cartridges only. The main paper tray comes out from the front of the printer and holds up to 250 sheets of plain paper. A multipurpose input tray folds out from the printer's front wall and can hold up to 50 sheets of paper, it is a great feature if you switch to media often. A straight pass-through door is placed in the rear - you will have to simply open the door to engage the straight pass-through. The top-mounted control panel consists only of several indicator lights including a go button, and a cancel button.

HP Laserjet P2015DN toner cartridge options are straightforward for this model. You can choose either the 3,000-page standard cartridge and the 7,000-page high-capacity cartridge, the choice is yours. The former cost just doubles the standard ones. Using the high-capacity HP Laserjet P2015DN toner cartridges, print costs are really reduced. HP's recommended monthly duty cycle of about 15000 pages for this model, so it is suitable for a home or very small office. HP offers five variations on the P2015 and P2015dn is one of them which includes a duplexer and built-in networking. This model comes with a 400MHz processor and 32MB of RAM, this can also be upgraded to 288MB if you need it in future.

The P2015dn is a fast mono printer, producing output text at a rate of 22. Coming to print quality, in testing, the text quality was excellent - text was sharp and clean, characters were consistently formed, and the black prints were deep and rich. But at a very small font size, we noticed a couple of errors - the printer overprinted some of the letters, one at the top of another. Based on our experiences, the printer probably won't make this error often, but it's possible that the error could happen again. This error is admittedly small, but combined with the fact that there are other printers at the same price range which are faster and cheaper, leads us to recommend the other HP laser mono printers.

Printed graphics showed decent quality. Though we observed a bit of compression in the light end of the grayscale. This happened by the photo elements in the print, which were slightly blown out, which resulted in the loss of detail in highlighted areas. Moreover, the photo elements were grainy.

In all, the printer performance and print quality took us to the conclusion that the printer comes with very limited features. The running costs are also high because of the HP Laserjet P2015DN toner cartridges. If you still would want to purchase the printer and keep the running costs down, we would recommend you to use compatible HP Laserjet P2015DN toner cartridges. They are 33% more efficient than the original ones and work just fine.
