HP Color LaserJet 3000

Color LaserJet 3000 is a large device, though still light enough to be moved around by one, muscular person. Aimed at the workgroup environment, it's a little surprising that the main paper tray can only take 250 sheets at a time, but there is a 100 sheet, multipurpose tray, too, which folds down from the front panel.

As usual, these are for draft prints and we saw our five-page text print complete in 21 seconds, giving a normal mode black speed of 14ppm and a colour speed of 3.75ppm. In themselves, these aren't bad speeds for a colour laser printer in this category. In real terms, though, for typical short print jobs, you're talking less than 10 seconds faster than a cheaper printer, printing at, say, 20ppm.
