The Hewlett-Packard HP LaserJet Enterprise P3015dn is best understood as the little brother to the HP LaserJet P4014n Printer ($899 Direct, ) that I reviewed last year. Both are monochrome lasers that offer similarly fast speed for a small to medium-size office or workgroup.

Fast; High-quality text; Reasonably high paper capacity for a small office or workgroup

Few paper handling options

The printer was shipped without any of its documentation...no manual, no booklet with set-up instructions or operating instructions at all. It shipped without any CDs with printer software. Can't give it a good rating when I was shortchanged on necessary parts.

HP LaserJet Enterprise P3015d HP's LaserJet Enterprise P3015d is a midpriced monochrome laser printer that doesn't realize its full potential. Though the company touts it as an enterprise model, it's expensive to operate and it has limited connectivity options.

Faster-than-average text speed; Includes autoduplexer

Subpar print quality for graphics; Lacks ethernet connectivity

Although the HP LaserJet P3015d has speed and roomy paper capacity to its credit, it can't compete as well in print quality and the cost to print. It's a decent printer, but other monochrome laser models we've tested in its price range are a better deal overall.

The HP LaserJet Enterprise P3015d is a midpriced ($649 as of 11/12/09) monochrome laser printer that doesn't realize its full potential.

Faster-than-average text speed,

Lacks ethernet connectivity; Subpar print

To look at the LaserJet P3015x you wouldn't think it capable of a 40ppm A4 print speed, but that's just what this diminutive mono laser delivers.

I have replaced my old printer to have auto double sided printing and this printer doing this job good so far I like it its good and efficient but printing speed is not very fast, other wise its good.

The HP LaserJet Enterprise P3015x monochrome laser printer won't replace your inkjet for black and white photos or even some presentation materials, but its print speed and quality are definitely valuable for documents and presentation graphics.

The main requirements of a mono laser printer in a larger office are high speed, low running costs and flexibility. HP's P3015X has the specs to meet all of these, but as any reader of these reviews knows, those specs are often rose-tinted.
