Automatic duplex function won't work with Vista OS, September 7, 2007
This review is from: HP P2015D Monochrome Laserjet Printer (Office Product)
I purchased the 2015d directly from HP. The automatic (vs. manual) duplex function was my main purchase criteria, thus the choice of the 2015d rather than the 2015. Specs at the HP site stated that the 2015d is "certified for Windows Vista" and is "Windows Vista ready". These statements are misleading: Vista does not support the automatic duplex function of this printer. After many hours of effort, I called HP tech support and they confirmed/shared this info post-purchase.

JAN '09 - 19-MONTH UPDATE (bad news), May 15, 2007
This review is from: HP P2015D Monochrome Laserjet Printer (Office Product)
This printer works like a champ printing via
AirPort Express from my Macs. (I didn't have the same luck with the
HP LaserJet 1022 I recently purchased and returned.) This printer is very fast compared to my older LaserJet 1200, and the duplex feature works nicely and is a great paper saver. Installing the drivers on my Mac was a breeze, unlike my experience with the 1022.

UPDATE JAN 2009: Unfortunately, I have to second A. Richards's review below.
After having worked flawlessly for 19 months, this printer stopped working properly. Sometimes it displays the paper jam and toner warning lights and won't print, even when there's no jam and plenty of toner; sometimes it prints one job successfully after restarting it, only to stop working after that; sometimes it prints only one page of a multi-page job; sometimes *no* LEDs are lit even when the power is on; sometimes it shows up as "offline" on my Mac (OS X 10.5.6) even when connected directly to my USB port and its power is on.
Called HP Tech Support and spoke with a technician who troubleshot with me and told me this was a problem with the formatter board, and that is was a known issue. He said it affected 10-20% (!) of all P2015's, but that, since my printer is out of warranty, HP would charge me $260 (incl. shipping) to repair it. (For what it's worth, he said the P2035 and P2055 are "excellent printers" and that only "1-2%" are sent back for servicing.)
Be wary of this printer. I didn't expect to have to buy a replacement printer so soon.

Great little 2-sided printer., April 10, 2007
This review is from: HP P2015D Monochrome Laserjet Printer (Office Product)
This is an excellent 2-sided personal laser printer. The cube-shape is tall, but takes up no more desk space than HP's earlier personal printers. No paper trays stick out. I particularly like the 6 idiot lights that clearly show what's gone wrong (paper jam, out of ink, etc). The old models would simply blink one light and leave you to decipher the meaning.
