HP LaserJet CP2025n Color Laser Printer
Hewlett Packard

I purchased this printer about a year ago and I noticed that whenever I did multiple prints the printer would error out and a message would come up saying misprint and press "ok" to continue. This would occur over and over again. This issue also caused wasted pages as the printer would print the same page twice. I got fed up today and decided to research the problem on an HP forum and also on the internet; to my horror this problem is rampant with this model. It also seems that HP is non responsive in dealing with this issue -signs of a company going down hill and only existing on "old glory". Before you purchase, I invite you to do a search on "HP 2025 misprint error". I hope this warning helps.

I purchased the computer for our office. Setting up was almost too easy. The machine was up and printing before I even realized I had finished installing it. Will be getting the same printer for another office soon.

I will echo another reviewers comments which helped me alot. "Printer Status Notification (hpmsn083.dll ) was a pain. On XP Machines (Vista machines okay), with a peer to peer network, it would result in very slow spooling and 100% CPU usage". I am running XP pro 32 bit SP3 on a 2.8 P4 with 2Gb ram and the spooling time was killing me. Not only was the copy of any document with graphics taking some times (as long as 20 minutes to have 2 pages print) but the computer was tied up with CPU running at 100% the whole time. Within seconds of sending a print you could hear both fans crank up to high speed due to the heat being generated by the CPU. Here is the answer to this: Go to the START menu (lower left) then click on "printers and faxes", right mouse click on the printer name, then Go to and right mouse click on "properties", Go over to the Device Settings tab and disable the !@#$ Printer Status Notification in Properties. Dont ask me why but it works and now all is good, after much wasted time. Other than that, printing B&W and color is good, There is paper curl, but apparantly there is a setting to diminish that. there are some weird light clunking sounds from printer but function is fine. I found after market non-HP toner for about $40 on Amazon. I have no complaints and it is much cheaper.
...
I highly recommended. It works excellently. The traditional good quality in HP. The only problem is when you start purchasing those so expensive replacement toner cartridges with the abusive price from HP.
...
Would not recommend for more than 4-5 people using this printer. We had 2 of these in our office with only about 12 people printing between the 2 of them and after a few months, both developed yellow and/or blue streaking on everything it printed it out.
