HP LaserJet P4014n: wired monochrome sharing with 600 standard sheets review

A wired workgroup printer with a defined role

The HP LaserJet P4014n is an earlier monochrome workgroup printer with included USB and HP Jetdirect Gigabit Ethernet. The exact n configuration is CB507A in HP's original US selection guide; HP's current US cartridge compatibility list also identifies CB507A#ABA. This review concerns its documented 100–127-volt configuration. It is useful when a shared computer queue, substantial ordinary-paper capacity and one-sided documents are the main requirements.

Do not treat every surviving web address as evidence of the model. One inherited HP store link now displays an unrelated Deskjet. The original P4014n configuration paragraph, US selection guide and exact current support record independently establish this LaserJet. They also establish a significant limitation: automatic duplex is an option on the n, rather than included equipment.

Six hundred sheets without an extra feeder

Standard input consists of the 100-sheet multipurpose Tray 1 and 500-sheet Tray 2, rated with 75 g/m² paper. The guide's paper table positively lists Letter, Legal and A4 in both feeds. That makes 600 normal-paper sheets a supported included capacity for those sizes, rather than a maximum assembled from optional accessories.

A second cassette, high-capacity feeder and envelope feeder appear in the accessory material, but none is silently counted as standard. For occasional envelopes, Tray 1 accepts up to ten appropriate laser envelopes with the correct driver media settings. The ordinary-sheet capacity and envelope limit describe different loads in the same multipurpose feed. The manual's supported-size table does not turn this into an A3 or Tabloid printer.

The n configuration prints two-sided documents through a manual routine unless the optional duplexer has actually been fitted. A driver can expose duplex-related controls without proving that the accessory is present. Inspect the rear hardware and configuration page before relying on automatic turning. This standard-configuration assessment therefore does not qualify the P4014n for an automatic-duplex requirement.

Ethernet sharing and confidential jobs need compatible software

USB serves a directly connected computer; the included 10/100/1000 Ethernet interface serves a compatible wired network queue. The separate host USB ports are for supported accessories or solutions, not substitute computer-network connections. There is no included Wi-Fi radio or Wi-Fi Direct arrangement established here, and a modern mobile protocol is not inferred from the network socket.

The original guide documents Personal Job storage with a four-digit PIN. Its release instructions allow either a keypad or the up/down arrows to enter digits, so the P4014's lack of a numeric keypad does not by itself remove this workflow. Use a compatible computer driver with the actual Job Storage controls, then test sending and releasing a personal job at the printer. Temporary personal jobs and permanent stored jobs are different promises; this review does not claim an included hard disk or indefinite retention.

The device is print-only. It has no scanner glass, document feeder, independent copier or fax. An interface that offers multiple copies of a computer file does not capture a paper original.

Match the workload and verify the offered unit

HP rates the engine up to 45 one-sided Letter pages per minute, separately 43 A4. These are maker ratings, not measured results on an offered machine or a duplex throughput claim. The recommended monthly range is 3,000 to 12,000 pages. The separate 175,000-page maximum duty cycle should not replace that recurring-workload recommendation.

The US selection guide identifies the 64A CC364A replacement cartridge at approximately 10,000 pages. HP's current cartridge declaration uses ISO/IEC 19752. That is a replacement yield declaration, not the toner remaining in a used cartridge. A generic family list also mentions 64X, but this review does not borrow that larger cartridge from the P4015/P4515 column for the P4014n.

Request a configuration page, supplies information and sample output through the intended connection. Confirm current driver support, feed reliability and the actual voltage label. Published body and weight figures differ between the older guide and current family support material, so unresolved exact measurements are left unknown rather than used as a guaranteed shelf fit. Allow space for paper loading, rear access and service. The P4014n is a specific earlier wired option when its standard 600 sheets and manual duplex meet the work.
