HP Color LaserJet CP3505n Printer

review

The HP Color LaserJet CP3505n Printer ($899 direct) delivers both more and less than you might expect from a printer aimed at a small to mid-size office or workgroup. On the more side, the printer comes with both a standard driver and an alternative that adds a useful print-preview capability. In addition, HP provides a link to a Web site that can calculate the cost of a print job for you. If you need to print a large job for, say, a mailing, the Web site can tell you whether it's cheaper to do it yourself or pay someone else to do it. On the less side, the CP3505n's text quality is subpar for a laser, speed is less than impressive for the price, and paper handling is limited. Whether the pluses and minuses balance each other out is debatable, but there's no question that this is an interesting package overall, with some highly intriguing features.
