Overview:If you are looking for an eco-friendly printer that has wireless capabilities, then the HP Color LaserJet CP1525nw from Hewlett & Packard may be the right fit for you. This eco-friendly printer utilizes a set of technologies that generate minimal impact on the environment and your wallet.  The printer gives out complete results and sensible functionality that is suitable for marketing materials.  With wireless capabilities, the printer can be set up to print from anywhere.  The box-like design with rounded edges will fit upon any desktop, having dimensions of 15.7-inches wide, 17.8-inches deep, and 10-inches tall, with a weight of 40 pounds.
Pros:The HP Color LaserJet CP1525nw printer can print 12 Letter A sized pages per minute in Black and 8 Letter A sized pages per minute in Color.  HP recommends a monthly amount of 250-1000 pages per month, but this printer is capable of going above and beyond that, at around 30,000 pages.  It is opportune to have a printer capable of not only producing good quality prints, but printing beyond the recommendation.  The printer incorporates HP ImageREt 3600 technologies, printing at a resolution of 600 x 600 dots per inch in both Black and Color modes.The printer has wireless connections and an Ethernet port which allows for network capabilities.  Users can print from any location.  With the HP ePrint software, the device is fairly easy to get setup.  The excellent software comes with many tips and tools.  Managers may determine the cost per print.  They may also disable or enable network parts at their discretion.  Users can use the many tools and templates available.  Shortcuts can be pre-configured to optimize quality production and speeds based on the selected media.  Wireless management is extensive with its password-protected incorporated web server. The printer has standard memory of 128 Megabytes which is expandable up to 384 Megabytes, running with a processor speed of 600MHz.  With only active acoustic levels up to 48 decibels, the printer will be reasonably quiet compared to other noisier printers.  The standard languages the printer utilizes are PCL 6, PCL 5, and PostScript 3.  Maximum allowable document sizes are 8.5 x 14-inches and minimum allowable document sizes are 3 x 5-inches.  The output tray, with its location on the middle-top of the printer, can hold up to 125 sheets.  The input tray, with its location on the bottom-front of the printer, can hold up to 150 sheets.  Upgrading is limited to the printers DIMM system, which modifies the memory from 128 Megabytes to 256 Megabytes using 144-pin DIMMs.The HP Color LaserJet CP1525nw could be a good choice for an organization that needs to juggle multiple jobs with both speed and accuracy.  This printer has a decent processor speed that is capable of dishing out up to 20 pages per minute, depending on the complexity of prints.  This printer is quite cost-effective and durable.  It utilizes a 2-line LCD with a 16-character display.
Cons:The resolution of this printer is limited to 600 x 600 dots per inch.  Most InkJet printers have higher resolution with greater quality of prints.  If a business specializes in graphic design, photography, and imaging than this is not a good choice of printer for them use.  Unfortunately, this printer is not a 'one size fits all'. It does not possess faxing and copying features.  The printer runs on 295 watts when operating.  This is a sizable impact on the electric bill.  With the given specs, its 295 watts of consumption is a disadvantage when compared to other printers with higher-end specs that consume less energy.
