Is this the right printer for you?

Who the HP Color LaserJet CP5225n is actually for

Most printer pages just tell you what a printer does. Here's the honest version: when this machine is the right choice, when it's fine, and when you should look at something else. We sell a lot of these for a reason, but the reason is not "every office."

Best fit

Pick this if...

  • You occasionally need 11x17 color printing in a small office.
  • You print 500-1,500 pages a month.
  • You can live with manual duplex.
  • You operate in a commercial environment where FCC Class A is fine.
  • You want a no-frills single-function color laser.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • It's fine if you mostly print A4/Letter and use A3 a few times a month.
  • It's fine if you flip pages manually for double-sided documents.
  • It's fine if you do not need wireless or mobile printing.
  • It's fine if you treat it as a backup A3 printer in addition to a workhorse mono printer.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • Skip this if you need automatic duplex.
  • Skip this if you print over 1,500 pages a month.
  • Skip this if you need scanning, copying, or fax.
  • Skip this if you need wireless or mobile-first connectivity.
  • Skip this if you work in a residential or quiet office.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The HP Color LaserJet CP5225n (CE711A) is a small-workgroup A3 color laser printer for offices that print a moderate mix of color marketing pieces, presentations, and 11x17 documents. It runs at 20 ppm in both color and mono with manual duplex. Recommended monthly volume sits around 1,500 pages — this is a light-duty A3 printer, not a production workhorse. Worth knowing before you buy: FCC Class A means it is rated for commercial use, not a quiet residential office. Manual duplex means flipping pages by hand for double-sided. The CP5225n is older HP gear and stocks are aging, so check warranty and toner availability before committing. The thing buyers most regret: buying for occasional A3 printing only to discover that toner cartridges for older CP-series models cost more than they expected, especially in color sets.

Supplies & consumables

Toner, yields, and what to actually reorder

The #1 question we get on this printer is "which toner do I buy?" Short answer: you have two cartridge options and a drum. Standard yield TN830 covers roughly 1,200 pages. High yield TN830XL covers roughly 4,500 pages and is the better value for most offices. Pick XL unless you print very little.

The drum unit (DR810) is separate and usually lasts 15,000 to 30,000 pages before it needs replacing. At a typical small office volume, expect to change it once every 2 to 4 years.

If you lease this printer through us, toner and drum are included. You never pay for supplies separately. That's usually the better deal once you add up real costs over 3 years.

What customers actually say

The 5-star consensus: "it just works"

Small sample size, high signal. The 1 verified reviewers picked this model to replace older inkjets or aging HP machines. Common threads in the feedback:

  • "Good printer overall for an office setting. Print speeds are solid and it handles our mixed workload of color and B&W documents well. The duplex feature saves us paper. Only downside is the learning curve on the touchscreen menu system took a bit to figure out."
