HP 2541 Printer Review

The HP Deskjet 2541 All-in-One inkjet printer can handle printing, copying, and scanning at a very low price, and it even offers excellent photo quality. At speeds of up to 20 pages per minute for black and 16 pages per minute for color, it can easily keep up with home users; it includes wireless support for easy sharing, and uses affordable Deskjet 2541 printer ink supplies for economical operation.

The 2541 has the compact frame that users will need for desktop use, measuring just 6.2 inches tall with a footprint of 16.7x12 inches. It weighs only 11.5 pounds, even with the HP 2541 printer ink installed, so it is also easy to move out of the way when not in use. It includes a USB port for connecting to a PC, and wireless support as well, but it lacks an ethernet port for those who prefer a wired connection.

Mobile printing options are very limited, as the unit only supports AirPrint, but not HP's own ePrint platform. Paper handling is also very limited, with an input tray that can hold only 60 sheets. The maximum resolution of 1200x1200 dpi results in very high-quality photos and color graphics, perfect for the user who wants to print the occasional photo at home.

Only two HP 2541 ink cartridges are used in the inkjet system, unlike models that require four separate supplies. High-capacity Deskjet 2541 ink cartridges are available for users who want a lower cost per page, and remanufactured HP 2541 ink offers the best solution for cost-conscious buyers.

The HP 2541 offers a solid solution for home users or college students, though its limitations are a bit hit or miss. Lack of a wired ethernet connection or its limited mobile printing options could be a problem for certain buyers, so it is worth researching the options users will need ahead of time.
