Fast and quiet. Printing both sides is half as fast.

Pay heed to the Vista installation issues detailed in other reviews. Aside from that, I'm quite pleased overall. The printer is entirely silent when idle, and only slightly louder when running. Best of all, it hasn't given any indication that printers can jam when left unattended.

Single-side printing is pleasingly fast. Double-side print speed is about half that for single-side. The page has to mostly eject before reversing onto the other paper path. Knowing this wouldn't have been a deal-breaker, but I didn't see it quantified anywhere else.

=====
After printing 3 reams of double-sided scholarly material in just as many days, it becomes apparent that pulp tree forests are in grave danger. I have no qualms at all about queuing up a few documents each of a few hundred pages. The criterion for speed is not so great as I had thought, althought the P2015 is plenty fast enough. More important, the printer has thus far been 100% reliable without the slightest inclination to balk or jam, as did my ancient LJ4. The queued jobs will run to completion unattended unless...

My only desire is that it had a larger paper tray. I just don't desire it enough (yet) to spend the $125 for the second tray.

The printer is easily a 5-star winner, even with the Vista installation problems. Advice in another review here sorted that out for me, and the incident is already forgotten. Consider the product rating updated, even though the rating page doesn't allow that edit.

Great Printer, Horrible Software (As Usual)

The printer works well, prints fast, good quality, typical HP workhorse. The software however is another story. Installation on XP systems was bearable, the only major issue is that after installation the notification program sometimes pops up during printing and hangs, sucking up memory like a Shop-Vac and forcing you to kill the process to close it. The next part I will capitalize for emphasis... IF YOU HAVE VISTA IN A NETWORKED ENVIRONMENT, DO NOT PURCHASE THIS PRINTER! The driver is NOT compatible with Vista, regardless of what you read on the HP website. Now, as a disclaimer I should state that my experience with this printer on Vista is limited to a strict network installation, using an IP address to access the printer (not file and print sharing), perhaps it works better as a standalone printer, however I've installed it on two brand new Vista machines and it works correctly on neither one. I finally resorted to using an older driver from a different printer which does not offer the full functionality of the 2015dn. If HP will ever fix the product drivers I would give it the full 5 stars and fully recommend it, but until they do I can't say that this is the right choice for small business purchasers.
