Important Printer Buying Tip:
ALWAYS check for the ink cartridge prices before you purchase a printer. Why? Sometimes cheaper printers end up costing more because its ink cartridges may be way expensive. You should calculate the "cost of ownership" per month. The math is simple: (number of prints per month) times (cost of the cartridge) divided by (the yield of the cartridge). Yield is the number of pages that can be printed with one particular cartridge.
For example, assume that average home user prints 150 black pages per month using a black cartridge that yields 200 pages and costs $28. The monthly "cost of ownership" is
(150 pages) x ($28) = $21
200 pagesAlso look at the printer ink alternatives; besides the original manufacturer's cartridges (OEMs), you may have the selection of remanufactured cartridges, compatible ink cartridges, and ink refill kits.

Detailed Specs (HP 2250TN):
Product Description for HP Business Inkjet 2250TN (From the Manufacturer, Hewlett Packard)
Ideal for small workgroups or anyone looking for a high-quality color printer, the Hewlett-Packard 2250TN offers high-speed ink-jet printing, plus convenient networking features, at an affordable price. Printing at up to 15 pages per minute in draft mode (11 ppm normal), the 2250TN provides speed and efficiency in the print settings you use most often. Color printing is nearly as fast, with 14 pages per minute in draft mode. And with its PhotoREt III Enhanced Color Layering, resolution and color are adjusted automatically for photo-quality results on any paper. Whether you're working with transparencies, photo, heavyweight, or standard office paper, the 2250TN will accommodate you.
If you'd like to get your small workgroup connected, the 2250TN offers several networking features for easy, economical printing. HP's Modular Ink Delivery System includes four individually replaceable ink cartridges for faster workgroup color printing and lower cost of operation. An LCD ink gauge, print head replacement warnings, and a transparency sensor allow you to plan ahead for large projects. And with a 10,000-page monthly duty cycle, the 2250TN is able to meet the needs of the small workgroup.
The 2250TN is equipped for two paper trays and provides a 500-sheet input capacity. It comes with a power cord, reference guides, print software CD-ROM, and four print heads and ink cartridges. It is compatible with both Windows and Macintosh.
This printer model is not being manufactured by HP any more
PCWORLD.com Editors' review:
WHAT'S HOT: HP promotes the 2250TN as an alternative for workgroups that don't want or can't afford a color laser. That claim exaggerates the 2250TN's capabilities, but the printer does deliver better-looking graphics output than do the low-cost color laser printers it competes against. It prints color with subtle, smooth shading and transitions, and with perfect detail. Colors at the default settings look somewhat cool and muted. The cool tones carry over to gray-scale graphics with a slightly blue-green cast; images show excellent detail with smooth shading and transitions. It also prints clean black text, though the results are not as crisp as laser-printer text. The 2250TN has an immense paper capacity for an ink jet--two 250-sheet trays--and it can print on a wider variety of media than color laser printers can, including glossy photo material, iron-on transfers, greeting cards, and smaller or odd-shaped media. Costs for consumables run a low 2.7 cents per black page and 8 cents per page of color.
WHAT'S NOT: The $999 price tag includes an Ethernet port, but if you're really going to drop that kind of money for a network connection, you can find network color lasers these days for only a few hundred more. And the 2250N's printing speeds of 4.9 pages per minute on text and 1.6 ppm on graphics is fast for an ink jet but not for a laser printer.
WHAT ELSE: HP specifies the capacity for the 2250TN's ink cartridges at 1750 pages, which is several times the capacity of cartridges found in other ink jet printers. That should cut down on the need to frequently replace consumables and on jobs getting stuck in limbo when the ink runs out. Like a laser printer, the 2250TN has a control panel with an LCD and buttons for navigating setup menus. It also supports remote administration through a Web browser interface.
BEST USE: The 2250TN could find a place in offices that occasionally need top-quality color graphics and already have a monochrome laser printer.
