Mac users AVOID! [Posted on 2008-01-23]
Though this multifunction printer HP CM1015 Color Laserjet All in One Printer works well (good quality images), the Macintosh support from HP (maybe all support?) is awful. I am quite experienced with scanner software and with Macintosh computers. Still, I could not get the scanning function to work with my new iMac and OX10.5. No amount of effort on the Web got me to a useful help mode. Many of the pages I pulled up implied only windows support from HP. Many help pages seemed quite out of date. So, though the device might work OK, if you can't get support, I'd advise not buying a HP product.

Great printer for all our family [Posted on 2008-02-10]
HP CM1015 Color Laserjet All in One Printer
Terrific printer at a more than decent price. Who would have thought a few years ago that I would be able to enjoy such high quality at this price? Most importantly, each member of our family finds it to meet their own personal needs. True, there is no sheet feeder, fax, or large scanning bed, but the footprint and weight more than compensate for the lack of these features.

Before purchasing the 1015, I read the reviews and knew that I might have problems as a Mac OSX user--what's new about that--especially since I use OSX 10.5. Fortunately, the HP website has a new version of their Mac software. The new version works with all the features and does not have any Leopard problems. The CM1017 for about $100 more has even more features but not being sold by Amazon killed the deal for me.

Anyway, for price, print quality, weight, ease of use, reasonable printing speed, and something for everyone in our family, it's a winner!

Cheap HP printers Hidden TONER costs Revealed [Posted on 2008-02-23]
Beware of HP CHEAP LASER PRINTERS. Specifically the CM1015 and 1017. HP laser printers are expiring the toner cartridges regardless of the actual toner used. I printed 8000 pages of pure Black and White with all color turned off in the driver. I had to replace $240 in color toner cartridges to use the printer even thought we printed NO color. Went to Cartridge world to have them opened, and sure enough they were completely full. If I would have know this, no way would I have purchased a CHEAP HP laser printer. I smell a class action in the making.

Great multifunction upgrade from inkjet [Posted on 2008-05-17]
First, be sure to note that while this machine includes a scanner, it does not do fax. For me, that's okay most of the time, because I can scan stuff and e-mail it. If you need to receive faxes, of course, this is not for you. The printer also has no automatic feed for scanning or copying. It does have good tray capacity, holding a full ream.

The critical reviews that I've read say the printer is slow. This printer is different from most other options in that it prints color just as fast as black and white. Things will, of course, slow down when you print really big files, but, if you do a lot of color, you may be very pleased with the speed.

I replaced an HP ink-jet all-in-one with this unit. While the CM1015 may be relatively slow for a modern laser, it absolutely blows away the inkjets in the speed department. It's way cheaper in supplies than inkjets as well. (I've tried the cheap non-OEM ink on-line, and found a lot of problems.)

I also have an HP 1020, dirt cheap, compact, black and white printer. Its supplies are cheap, its quality is good and its (black and white) speed is higher than the CM1015. I use it for black and white text and reserve the CM1015 for color. If you have the space, you can add a 1020 and get the best of both worlds on speed.

When I bought my printer at Office Max, I was told that it only came with cartridges that were 1/4 full. I think mine came with a set of full cartridges. The very handy readout that flips up on the top of the console tells you where you stand on remaining toner. It initially said that I was full on all cartridges, and it's now down about a third and still going strong. Some states, notably Florida, require by law that printers be sold with full cartridges. I'm in Alabama, so I may have gotten lucky.

If you're going to have the printer sitting on top of a desk, the little flip-up monitor is extremely nice. A quick glance up tells me that I got my document through to the printer.

The quality is good laser quality and is good enough for most of what I do. Ink jets, when used with really expensive paper, can do photo quality. This printer is not at that level. Of course, it's about 20x faster than an inkjet doing photo quality.

The bottom line is that this is wonderful printer for the price. Check the price of toner before you buy.

broke down after 3 months of low usage [Posted on 2008-07-25]
This printer has been a great disappointment.
I used it rarely but it broke after 3 months.
I get an error message "scanner error 14..." for which no information is provided online. A google search showed me that others have experienced a similar error but nobody knows how to address it.
This is a very expensive printer and completely unreliable.
Do yourself a favour, don't purchase this printer.
