Is this the right printer for you?

Who the HP Color LaserJet Professional CP5225n Printer 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 proof or print 11x17 color spreads in-house
  • You print 200 to 1,500 pages per month
  • You're a designer, marketer, or small print room
  • You don't need duplex — single-sided is the workflow
  • You want widely available toner pricing
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • It's fine if your volume is bursty around project deadlines
  • It's fine if some prints are letter-size
  • It's fine without scan or copy — pair with a scanner
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • Skip this if you need automatic duplex — get the dn
  • Skip this if monthly volume is under 50 pages
  • Skip this if you need scan, copy, or fax
  • Skip this if 20 ppm is too slow for your team
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The CP5225n is HP's older 11x17-capable color laser — 20 ppm color and B&W, single-function, with network only (no automatic duplex on this base model). The selling point is tabloid-size color print on a footprint that's smaller than most 11x17-capable devices and at a price that beats most current 11x17 color lasers. The CP5225 series has been around for years, so toner is widely available through resellers and the driver stack is mature on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Where buyers regret it: assuming it has duplex. The n suffix means network only, not duplex — get the dn if you need automatic two-sided print, because retrofitting duplex isn't a thing on this device. Also: 20 ppm is genuinely slow if you're used to modern enterprise speeds, so confirm your team's expectations before buying for a deadline-sensitive workflow. Best for designers, marketing teams, and small print rooms that need to proof tabloid-size color spreads without sending them to a commercial printer.

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.
