HP LaserJet P3015x A4 Network Duplex Mono Laser Printer | CE529A

HP LaserJet P3015x Overview and Key Numbers

The HP LaserJet P3015x is the fully-equipped model in the P3015 series, built for workteams that need fast printing, network access, two-sided output, and a high paper capacity all from one machine. 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, and connects directly to your network via built-in Ethernet. Additionally, its standard 500-sheet third tray brings total input capacity to 1,100 sheets, so long print runs need fewer interruptions. HP’s maker part number for this model is CE529A.

The HP LaserJet P3015x runs a 540 MHz Motorola ColdFire V5 processor with 128 MB of standard memory, upgradeable to 640 MB through a single industry-standard 144-pin DIMM slot. Furthermore, it delivers true 1200 x 1200 dpi resolution and supports HP PCL 5e, HP PCL 6, and HP PostScript Level 3 emulation. Note that the US Letter speed is 42ppm — the 40ppm figure is the correct A4 rating.

HP LaserJet P3015x Resolution and Print Quality

The HP LaserJet P3015x 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 and barcodes scan reliably.

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 P3015x for a maximum duty cycle of up to 100,000 pages per month.

HP LaserJet P3015x Connection and 1,100-Sheet Capacity

The HP LaserJet P3015x connects via Hi-Speed USB 2.0, one external Host USB 2.0 port, and a built-in HP Jetdirect 10/100/1000 Ethernet print server. Consequently, it connects to your network. Teams can share one printer without additional hardware. Two internal ports and one EIO slot allow further optional expansion, including 802.1X network authentication for unified access control.

Paper handling is the key differentiator of the P3015x. It includes a 100-sheet multipurpose tray (Tray 1), a 500-sheet Tray 2, and a standard 500-sheet Tray 3 — giving 1,100 sheets total without any optional extras. The 250-sheet face-down output bin and a 100-sheet rear straight-through output bin handle finished pages, while the automatic duplexer manages two-sided printing entirely, so you never need to re-feed manually.

HP LaserJet P3015x vs the P3015 Series

The P3015x (CE529A) is the top model of the family. Specifically, the base P3015 (CE525A) is USB-only with manual duplex and 96 MB memory. Furthermore, the P3015d (CE526A) adds automatic duplex and remains 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 — and the P3015x takes all of that further with 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 P3015x: 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 all three input sources in turn and 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.
