1 out of 5 stars Faint and uneven prints, poor customer support, no Vista software.......2007-10-12

I had high hopes for the P2015 based on many of the reviews I've read, but the one I got gave me faint, uneven print -- worse than the seven-year-old Samsung I bought it to replace -- and HP seemed unwilling to do much about it. After basic troubleshooting proved ineffective, their rep told me that it takes roughly 50 prints before there is sufficient charge to attract toner to the drum, and that it will gradually get better up to about 200 pages. Normally they advise increasing print density until then, but that requires their "toolbox" software, and they don't have a Vista version yet. As such, they told me essentially to wait it out.

That's unacceptable and, frankly, inexcusable. We have 25 HP LaserJets in constant use at work, and after 20 years of experience with the brand, I can count on one hand the number of cartridges that failed to print properly from the first page, and I'll still have fingers left over. It seemed to me that I simply had a defective cartridge, but since HP was telling me the situation was normal, I sent the printer packing.

Since then, I've tried the internal test print on the same model in a couple of local stores, and they exhibited the same problem mine had to varying degrees, so either HP has changed the way their drums work for the worse, or there's a serious design flaw in this model, or their quality control has gone way downhill. Whatever the case, I recommend passing on this printer.

4 out of 5 stars Buy a USB connector cable, too........2007-09-30

This printer does not come with the USB 2.0 cable that connects it to the computer. So you don't end up like me, having to go through the aggravation of finding that out when you're trying to set it up, make sure you order one when you order the printer. I ordered this printer, finally got it after a back-order delay, and am now sitting around waiting for delivery of the USB cable that will actually allow me to use it.

4 out of 5 stars HP Printer - used in small business.......2007-09-23

As of about 2 monthsHP P2015 Monochrome Laserjet Printer service this printer has worked well for us. We are a small business that needs a reliable printer and this one seems good.

Brother printers were used in the past and although the HP's are a bit more expensive I will not go back. Installation and minor little problems that were seen with Brother are not apparent with this Hp.

Structure of the machine seems good and paper loads are adequate for our needs. I would recommend this printer.

2 out of 5 stars Vista situation is a mess but here's how to make it work.......2007-09-16

The two stars are for drivers and support. The printer itself seems to be OK once you get it working. From bitter experience, if you are planning to use Vista on a locally-connected P2015, you will fail unless you do EXACTLY as I say below. (valid as of 9/15/2007; things may change in the future):

1. Place the CD that comes in the box under your coffee cup. It has no other use.
2. Do Not call HP tech support. Their non-US-based representatives are apparently trained to be evasive about Vista support, and they will give you wrong information about choosing and installing drivers. They will also tell you to ignore everything you read on the HP Web site about Vista compatibility, which (astoundingly) is sound advice.
3. Download the PCL 5 Vista drivers from the HP product page. Do not use PCL 6 or Universal drivers.
4. Do not run the "EZ Install" program that downloads with the drivers. Although these are Vista drivers, that program does not work with Vista.
5. Add the printer through the Windows control panel. Choose the highest-numbered USB port. Tell it you "Have Disk", then browse to where the drivers downloaded (probably C:HP LaserJet P2015 PnP)
6. Choose the first of the two .inf files you will be offered
7. Proceed with the installation.

My opinion: HP's misinformation and evasiveness about Vista support for their printers should make buyers think twice about choosing the brand until they get their act together. (Another of my HP printers is still promising driver availability "by April 2007". I hope the engineers enjoyed their summer!) While one could reasonably blame Microsoft for the incompatibilities, the fact is that most computers sold today have Vista, and peripheral manufacturers need to get on board. Until then, having great hardware is irrelevant.

2 out of 5 stars Big problems running it on a Mac.......2007-09-16

I purchased the 2015 as a replacement for the predecessor (whatever the designation was). Installation was a cinch. But trying to print documents from Word or Powerpoint that contained JPG's and text was not successful. The pictures get clipped mysteriously at their right end side!! Also all pictures that were developed with Word Art!!

No way I could correct the problem. Not by installing the latest drivers, nor by trying various configurations from the printer menu!
The only way I could correctly print was using Gimp drivers. But then quality suffers a lot.

There's no practical way to contact HP support quickly. Their support is bad!

It was the last printer I ever will buy from HP.
