Its depends on your printing needs.Printing quality almost same these two printers. If u buy hp 1600 u will get more pages than cp 1525.But u should think about the toner cost. Check your local market price for each toners.Here i will give u the toner model numbers for ur required printers.

hp 1600 - q6000- black,q6001,q6002,q6003 each three colours.- Page yield 2500 pages for black ,2000 pages each colours.

hp cp1525- ce-320a(128a),ce321,ce322,ce323- Page yield -2000 pages for black,1300 each colour pages.

So I am sure hp 1600 toner very costly than 1525 toner.If u dont have huge volume printing better i suggest u buy cp 1525 model.Also this model offering wirless printing .
U can refill this toners lowest cost and getting good results.
sooooooo cheeeeeeers up........select your new printer. best wishes..........

1515n - I have the Magenta colour 'shadowing' the blue test. A mirror image of the blue text. [slightly staggered] Black is fine. Applies to all Word docs when printing in blue - can you help please?
I only use genuine cartridges.
Thanks

Hi this link above directly addresses your issue with a view to a fix.
Below is how to troubleshoot your issue, it seems it can be a few things.
Below is your service and repair manual, that will have what to do. www.partshere.com/.../CLJ1600%20removal_replacement.pdf - United States http://www.streetdirectory.com/travel_guide/118490/printers/solving_image_problems_on_hp_laser_printers.html

please clean up the laser unit. afther that will work just fine. have a great day.

I can tell you that it is NOT the Fuser unit. I would change the drum unit first. This would be the most likely cause.

This sounds like a registration problem.

Use the menu (on the printer) to print antest page AND a configuration/information page.

Look (critically) at the alignment of the seperate coloure Yellow Magenta Cyan. You will probably find that these are out of aligmnent across the page.

The cause of this, is that the printer can't perform a calibration properly (printer probably takes a long time when calibrating too) and is usually down to failure of one of the sensors on the transfer belt.

Sometimes you can clean these and solve the problem, but often is a failure of the component itself. Thes are NOT available as a spare part, and the repair to correct this would need a replacement transfer belt.

Transfer belt replacement in this printer is quite an involved task, though it is within the capabilities of someone with reasonable mechanical aptitude.

Hi, Check that the printer driver has duplex (double sided) turned on.

That's if u hav not already solved it :-)

This printer is a MONO laserjet printer meaning it can only print in black colour.

If you want a fax/copy/printer that does colour you would need something like a HP Colour Laserjet 2840.
