The HP Color LaserJet 1500 series is a host-based printer, meaning it relies on the host computer to render the print job before it is sent to the printer. The benefit of host-based printers is usually lower acquisition costs - since the processing occurs on the host computer the printer requires less processor power and memory than conventional PDL-based printers.
These lower requirements allow HP to provide a color laser printer at an incredible low price. To achieve the lower acquisition price there are trade-offs to be considered. Since host-based printers rely on the computer's processor they require a specific driver for each supported host and these drivers are unique to each operating system. Host-based printers are compatible with select Mac OS and Windows operating systems. A host-based printer is ideal for one or two users working within one of the supported operating systems.
The HP color LaserJet 1500 series printer is a four-color laser printer that prints at 16 pages per minute (ppm) in black, and 4 ppm in color.
