The HP Color LaserJet CM1015 MFP is a color laser printer with multifunction capabilities, designed for the personal user or small office environment.  Its print quality and features are good, but slow speeds and lack of faxing capabilities may be a problem for some buyers.

The CM1015 has a somewhat unorthodox design aesthetic.  It is taller than many multifunction machines, and its curviness is somewhat appealing and futuristic.  Unfortunately, its output tray juts out so far to the front that it ruins much of its good looks.  The unit is definitely too big for a desk, but not too large to fit into a small office.  Measuring 20.7 by 17.25 by 20 inches (HWD) and weighing 45 pounds, it is lighter than the average multifunction machine, and will be fairly easy to move around when necessary. 

Setup is very easy, requiring the user to unpack the machine, load paper, install the software, and connect the cables.  Clear instructions walk you through the entire process.

The machine is lacking some features that are included in competing devices.  First, the HP CM1015 has no fax capability.  While this may not be such an issue for the personal user or the small office, it is a convenient feature to have, and is already included in comparably priced multifunction printers from other manufacturers.  Second, the unit has no automatic document feeder, meaning that scanning and copying documents must be done one page at a time.  Again, this may be less of an issue for a personal user who only needs to scan or copy occasionally, but competing devices include at least a small automatic document feeder at comparable prices.

Print quality is excellent.  The focus is on clear, sharp text, and this unit delivers.  Graphics and photos print quite well, but show the typical problems of a laser printer in this regard.  Print speed, however, is generally slow, lagging well behind much of its competition.

Overall, the HP Color LaserJet CM1015 MFP is a decent laser printer with good print quality.  Lack of many useful features and slow print speeds make it difficult to recommend in the face of better competing units.
