HP LaserJet P3015 A4 Mono Laser Printer | CE525A

HP LaserJet P3015 Overview and Key Numbers

The HP LaserJet P3015 is a compact A4 mono laser printer built for small and medium workteams. Specifically, it prints at up to 40 pages per minute (40ppm) on A4, so it keeps pace with demanding document workloads. Additionally, it delivers true 1200 x 1200 dpi resolution via HP ProRes 1200, meaning sharp, professional text on every page. Because HP Instant-on Technology produces the first page in as little as 7.5 seconds from Ready mode, print jobs stay fast even under shared use. HP’s maker part number for this model is CE525A.

The HP LaserJet P3015 runs a 540 MHz Motorola ColdFire V5 processor with 96 MB of standard memory, upgradeable to 608 MB through a single industry-standard 144-pin DIMM slot. Furthermore, it supports HP PCL 5e, HP PCL 6, and HP PostScript Level 3 emulation, so it works across a wide range of operating systems and network environments. Note that the US Letter speed is 42ppm — the 40ppm figure is the correct A4 rating.

HP LaserJet P3015 Resolution and Print Quality

The HP LaserJet P3015 prints at a true 1200 x 1200 dpi via HP ProRes 1200. This is a true engine resolution, not an enhancement mode, so every page prints at full 1200 dpi at full speed. Additionally, HP FastRes 1200 further refines output for complex graphics and fine lines. As a result, text is crisp, barcodes scan reliably, and presentation documents look consistently professional.

It uses the CE255A standard cartridge (6,000 pages) or the CE255X high-capacity cartridge (12,500 pages), both declared in accordance with ISO/IEC 19752. The all-in-one cartridge incorporates toner, drum, and imaging system in a single unit, so replacement is quick and consistent. HP rates the P3015 for a maximum duty cycle of up to 100,000 pages per month.

HP LaserJet P3015 Connection and Paper Capacity

The HP LaserJet P3015 connects via Hi-Speed USB 2.0, one external Host USB 2.0 port, two internal accessory ports for optional HP or partner solutions, and one open EIO slot. So it connects directly to a workstation and can be optionally expanded to add network access or additional integrations later. The P3015n and P3015dn in the same series add built-in Ethernet for direct network sharing without additional hardware.

Paper handling includes a 100-sheet multipurpose tray (Tray 1) for envelopes and specialty media, and a 500-sheet Tray 2, giving 600 sheets standard capacity. The 250-sheet face-down output bin collects finished pages, and a 100-sheet rear output bin provides a straight-through path for heavier media. An optional 500-sheet third tray can expand input capacity to 1,100 sheets.

HP LaserJet P3015 vs the P3015 Series

The P3015 (CE525A) is the base model of the series: USB-only connection, manual duplex via the driver, and 96 MB standard memory. Specifically, the P3015d (CE526A) adds a built-in automatic duplexer and steps up to 128 MB standard memory. Meanwhile, the P3015n (CE527A) adds built-in Ethernet alongside 128 MB memory, while keeping manual duplex. Furthermore, the P3015dn (CE528A) combines automatic duplex and Ethernet with 128 MB memory. Finally, the P3015x (CE529A) takes all P3015dn features and adds a standard 500-sheet third tray for 1,100-sheet total input capacity.

All five models share the same 40ppm A4 speed, true 1200 x 1200 dpi engine, 540 MHz processor, and 100,000-page maximum duty cycle. They also share the same toner cartridges (CE255A / CE255X), so consumables are consistent across the family.

HP LaserJet P3015: Refurbished and Tested In-House

Our own technicians refurbish every unit we sell. We don’t outsource this step. First, we run test prints and check output quality closely, looking for streaking, banding, ghosting, and poor toner adhesion. Next, we check fuser performance, so every page lands square and the toner bonds correctly. We then feed paper from each input source in turn, including both the multipurpose tray and the main input tray. We also test all connections and check consumables and counters for both function and quality.

Afterwards, we reset each unit to factory defaults wherever the model allows it, so no previous settings carries over to you. Finally, we clean every machine thoroughly, inside and out, and grade it before it ships. For the full picture, you can read more about us.

Each unit ships with a 90-day warranty. A 14-day window is also included. You’ll find full terms on our terms & conditions page. We also offer free delivery to mainland UK addresses, so the price you see is the price you pay.

HP LaserJet P3015 Common Buyer Questions

Does the HP LaserJet P3015 print double-sided by itself?
Not by itself. The base P3015 supports manual duplex printing via the driver — you re-feed the paper yourself. Specifically, the P3015d (CE526A) adds a built-in duplexer.

Does the HP LaserJet P3015 have network connection?
The base P3015 does not have built-in network connection. It connects via Hi-Speed USB 2.0. The P3015n (CE527A) and P3015dn (CE528A) both add built-in Ethernet for shared network printing.

What toner does the HP LaserJet P3015 use?
It uses the CE255A standard cartridge (6,000 pages) or the CE255X high-capacity cartridge (12,500 pages), both declared to ISO/IEC 19752. We supply a part used toner/drum with every printer.

What warranty comes with a refurbished HP LaserJet P3015?
Every unit has a 90-day warranty. A 14-day return window is also included. Full terms are on our terms & conditions page.
