HP Color Laser 150nw (150nw/ 4ZB95A) Printer Review – White
Table of Contents
Introduction
The HP Color Laser 150nw (150nw/ 4ZB95A) promises a lot: exceptional print quality in a remarkably compact footprint. As someone who’s tested numerous printers, I was curious to see if it could deliver on those claims. After several weeks of using the white model for both personal and professional tasks, I’m ready to share my honest assessment.
Key Features
The HP Color Laser 150nw boasts a surprisingly small design, making it ideal for small offices or home setups where space is limited. Setting it up was straightforward, largely thanks to the HP Smart app. This app allows for easy wireless printing, scanning, and even mobile device management of printer settings. The inclusion of wireless connectivity is a significant advantage, eliminating the need for cumbersome cables.
Beyond wireless capabilities, the printer offers standard features like color laser printing, scanning capabilities, and automatic duplex printing (double-sided printing). The control panel is minimal but intuitive, even for less tech-savvy users.

Performance & Print Quality
Print speeds are acceptable for its class, not blazing fast but certainly efficient enough for everyday use. I printed a variety of documents, including text-heavy reports, colorful presentations, and even some photographs. The print quality, across the board, exceeded my expectations. Text is crisp and clear, and colors are vibrant and accurate. Even photos came out surprisingly well, considering this isn’t a photo-focused printer. The automatic duplex printing feature is a huge plus, saving paper and time.
The HP Smart app proved to be very user-friendly, making setup and mobile printing seamless. It also allows for monitoring ink levels, which is a helpful feature to prevent unexpected print interruptions. While the printer is compact, the toner cartridge is relatively easy to replace.
One minor drawback I noticed was a slightly longer warm-up time compared to some other laser printers I’ve used. It’s not a major issue, but something worth noting.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Compact size, excellent print quality, easy setup via HP Smart app, wireless printing, automatic duplex printing, vibrant colors.
- Cons: Slightly longer warm-up time, toner cartridge cost compared to some competitors (though this is typical for laser printers).
Final Verdict
The HP Color Laser 150nw (150nw/ 4ZB95A) is a surprisingly capable printer. Its compact design doesn’t compromise on print quality, and the user-friendly HP Smart app makes it a breeze to use. While there are a few minor drawbacks, such as the warm-up time and toner cost, the overall performance and convenience easily outweigh them. If you’re looking for a high-quality, compact color laser printer for home or a small office, I would wholeheartedly recommend the HP Color Laser 150nw.
