Most helpful customer reviews 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Excellent Printer! By genesrus UPDATE: Been a year since I owned this printer and it performs very well. Print primarily journal articles and never had a problem. Get the extra paper tray if you can afford it. Tried some business cards recently (120lb card stock) and it worked very very well! The black toner is lower than the others but have not had to replace any of the cartridges yet. I should revise my rating to a 5 stars. I still use the printer through a dedicated print server (see below) and have not fiddled with the built-in networking. I have since writing this review also been using Win7 and again, prints beautifully, without any problems to speak of. **********************************************************ORIGINAL********************************** HP CP2025X Color LaserJet Printer (Same as the DN version but with the extra paper tray. Should really give it 5 Stars but feel the long terms costs are going to be high (toner). I have the printer set up on a print server (Linksys, so not using its built in network capabilities on the CP2025X) and am using XP-Pro on all my machines. Don't print a whole lot (maybe ~100pages /month) and have had this printer for some 4 months. I use my HP Laserjet 1160Le to print my B&W stuff and that too is on its own printer server. Word of caution here, I already had the Linksys (Cisco Systems) print servers ($70each) from a couple of years ago but when I checked the built in networking in a cursory manner on the CP2025X with XP Pro it did not work out of the box. I was going to use the print servers anyway so I didn't play around to see if I could get the built in network capability going with XP Pro. I imagine it would work if I played around with it some. The CP2025X replaces an Epson900 that I should have thrown out a long time ago. I researched the color laser printers and settled on this one. I did not want an inkjet because they are not near robust enough over the long haul (even the high end photo printers from Epson). The laser printers tend not to have issues with the nozzles getting clogged. This is a REAL issue if you tend not to use your printer all the time (daily). You spend a few minutes trying to get everything lined up to print with inkjet printers, however good or expensive, and frankly the end product is always suboptimal for color documents and pdfs. With the color laser printers I have used at work over the years you simply hit print, everything works every time. Paper jams on color laser printers are the fault of the operator (either too full or last sheet in a tray). On my Epson I could never get the same effortless printing. The CP2025X was something I could afford and had network capability, so not tied to a specific computer just the router. I never have to wonder whether it printed. I can wirelessly reach my router from upstairs and since the printer is actually hooked into the router (via a print server) I hit print and voila, I come down later and it is all done, perfectly. This happens regardless of whether the printer has been used in the past month. I did consider the Xerox color printers but decided against them for a couple of reasons: I had used one at work off and on and the toner is actually a wax based product that can smudge. The printer was also a lot smellier than the laser printers and needed a few minutes warming up. You can actually smell the wax. I have a small study that the printer is in and I don't leave the windows open and didn't want the wax smell in there. The smell is a drawback with the CP2025X as well but less so. You do smell the toner and this can't be good. This is especially true when you first put the toner cartridges in or if you print out 50 pages at a time. Still, smells A LOT less than the Xerox. The Xerox print cartridges are a lot cheaper and that had me vacillating. In the end the CP2025X is a better product that will print hassle free in
