HP LaserJet P3015d A4 Duplex Mono Laser Printer | CE526A

HP LaserJet P3015d Overview and Key Numbers

The HP LaserJet P3015d 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, handles both sides of the page by itself with a built-in duplexer. 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 CE526A.

The HP LaserJet P3015d runs a 540 MHz Motorola ColdFire V5 processor with 128 MB (upgradeable to 640 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. Note that the US Letter speed is 42ppm — the 40ppm figure is the correct A4 rating.

HP LaserJet P3015d Resolution and Print Quality

The HP LaserJet P3015d 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 HP LaserJet P3015d for a maximum duty cycle of up to 100,000 pages per month.

HP LaserJet P3015d Connection and Paper Capacity

The HP LaserJet P3015d connects via Hi-Speed USB 2.0, one external Host USB 2.0 port, two internal accessory ports, and one open EIO slot. So it connects directly to a workstation and can be optionally expanded to add network access via the EIO slot. The P3015n (CE527A) and P3015dn (CE528A) in the same series add built-in Ethernet for direct network sharing.

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 P3015d vs the P3015 Series

The P3015 (CE525A) is the base model: USB-only, manual duplex, and 96 MB standard memory. Specifically, the P3015d (CE526A) adds automatic duplex and 128 MB memory while staying USB-only. Meanwhile, the P3015n (CE527A) adds Ethernet and 128 MB memory, but uses 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 P3015d: 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, run the automatic duplex path to confirm reliable two-sided output. 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.
