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.

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

Lacks ethernet connectivity; Subpar print

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.

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.

Subpar print quality for graphics; Lacks ethernet connectivity

fine

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.

If you need a mono laser MFP with a fax, the LaserJet 3015 is one of the cheapest you can buy. Sadly, its printing, scanning and copying are all unimpressive, making it hard to recommend.

Plan to purchase a rebuild kit to replace rubber rollers that wear out over time. $30 rebuild kit ensures jam free performance for another 100,000 sheets

Black & white only

The software that supports this printer is absolutely horrendous. One day, I'm able to print without any problems. The next day, the computers don't recognize the printers and nothing gets printed. I've spent two days troubleshooting the issue, all to no avail.
