The HP LaserJet 4250 printer comes standard with a 500 sheet paper tray and can have up to three more added to provide the busiest workgroup with plenty of media for printing. A single 1500 sheet tray can be added for a cost of $499.00, not too cheap but well worth it for high volume printing demands which is what the HP 4250 is designed for. The standard memory is only 64 MB, a far cry from what many businesses need to perform and will almost definitely need to be upgraded; max out the memory to 512 MB if you have large print requirements for the best results.

Text is rendered with great precision on this unit but the graphics fall short, the interior of filled areas seem to fade and become blotchy. If you are in need of a graphics heavy printer consider another as the HP LaserJet 4250 is not a graphics intensive printer. Although the toners are integrated with the imaging drum so there is one less replacement required of the end user. Purchasing the largest toner, rated at 20,000 pages at 5% coverage form HP, lowers the price per printed page to be competitive with other printers in its class. Networking is optional on the base model but standard with higher end models like the 4250N.

All of the models come with parallel and USB ports for easy plug and play. While the HP LaserJet 4250 falls a little short on print quality it makes up for it by printing at close to 40 pages per minute, great for any high volume department; the printer does create more noise than others in its class, but it is not distracting. Documentation for set up was easy to follow, but the networking instructions left something to be desired. The quick printing ability is perfect for demanding departments but sacrifices quality for speed.
