Alright, now let's go into details.
10 differences we consider important:
- HP Officejet Pro 8715
has a built-in scanner & copier , butEpson XP-15000 does not .Scan and copy technology have a large hardware overlap. If a printer supports scanning, it will likely support copying. - HP Officejet Pro 8715
can scan/copy custom-sized documents , butEpson XP-15000 can't .Flatbed scanners allow scanning documents one by one. Unlike ADF scanners, you can only scan one page at a time. However, flatbed scanners allow you to scan custom-sized documents, like passports, drivers licenses, etc. Flatbed scanners also tend to produce higher quality images. - HP Officejet Pro 8715
can scan/copy stacks of documents , butEpson XP-15000 can't .ADF, or Automatic Document Feeder allows a printer to scan or copy a stack of pages. This feature is so important that even the cheapest printers try to include it. Technically speaking, ADF is not a feature of the printer - it is a feature of the scanner or copier. - HP Officejet Pro 8715
supports two-sided scanning , butEpson XP-15000 doesn't .A two-sided (duplex) ADF scanner allows scanning a stack of documents on both sides. - Epson XP-15000
is a noticeably quieter .When printing, HP Officejet Pro 8715 has a loudness of 69 dB (decibels), while Epson XP-15000 measures at 49 dB.
How loud is that? We made a decibel chart for you to reference. - HP Officejet Pro 8715
prints faster in black-and-white (22 vs 9.2 PPM)In black-and-white, HP Officejet Pro 8715 prints at 22 pages per minute (PPM). Epson XP-15000 measures at 9.2 PPM.
HP Officejet Pro 8715 would take about 04:33 to print 100 pages, Epson XP-15000 would take 10:52. - HP Officejet Pro 8715
prints faster in color (18 vs 9 PPM)In color, HP Officejet Pro 8715 prints at 18 pages per minute (PPM). Epson XP-15000 measures at 9 PPM.
HP Officejet Pro 8715 would take about 05:33 to print 100 pages, Epson XP-15000 would take 11:07. - Epson XP-15000
can produce higher quality black prints (5760 x 1440 vs 1200 x 1200 DPI)The black print DPI of Epson XP-15000 is 5760 x 1440. HP Officejet Pro 8715 has the DPI of 1200 x 1200. What is DPI? In short: number of dots a printer "draws" per inch. Higher DPI means higher quality print. It's not the easiest thing to understand, so if print quality is very important to you, we suggest reading an article on DPI.- 600 x 600 is more than enough DPI to print any kind of documents.
- Higher DPI takes more ink to print, draining your cartridge/toner faster.
- Whenever you see 'DPI', it's actually referring to the 'maximum DPI'. Your printer will often choose to lower the DPI where necessary to conserve ink.
- Epson XP-15000
can produce higher quality color prints (5760 x 1440 vs 4800 x 1200 DPI)The color print DPI of Epson XP-15000 is 5760 x 1440. HP Officejet Pro 8715 has the DPI of 4800 x 1200.- Unless you are a professional photographer, 1200 x 600 DPI will be fine for printing photos.
- HP Officejet Pro 8715
is energy star qualified , butEpson XP-15000 is not .Energy Star is a set of standards that aims to reduce energy consumption of various devices. An Energy Star Qualified printer consumes less electricity to operate and is more environmentally friendly.
5 similarities we think are important to mention:
-
Both printers can print over Wi-Fi Printing over Wi-Fi is a very common feature, available even in most budget models. -
Both printers can print from mobile In most cases, if a printer supports wireless printing, it also supports Wi-Fi printing. -
Both printers support two-sided printing Automatic duplex printing (also known as two-sided printing) refers to a printer's ability to print on both sides of the paper, without having to manually flip it. -
Both printers have an LCD status display LCD status displays are very useful. Your printer can tell you if ink is low or paper is jammed. -
Neither printer accepts touchscreen commands Touch-screen displays allow you to interface with a printer much faster, especially scanning and copying.

The four main functions of printers are: printing, scanning, photocopying, and faxing. Either your device will be print only, print/scan/copy, or an all-in-one printer that does printing, scanning, copying, and faxing. Note that scanning and copying almost always come together, since the hardware for these features overlaps significantly. Generally speaking, all-in-one printers are larger, so those with space constraints may find this to be an inconvenience. Additionally, printers with a fax feature are typically more expensive. It would be wise to only consider this feature if you plan to fax often. If not, you’ll be satisfied with a print/scan/copy device.

Network printers can be wired or wireless. A printer with a wired network connection uses an Ethernet cord that connects directly to your router. A wireless printer connects to your home or office Wi-Fi network. Any computer also connected to your network can use your printer, whether it’s wired or wireless. You will have to install software, or printer drivers, on the computer before you can print. Also, there is a setup process for the printer to get it on the network. If your printer is not wireless, you’ll need to connect it directly to your computer via USB cable, which is not ideal if you have multiple users that need the printer simultaneously.
Outside of Wi-Fi, there are a number of ways a device can connect to a printer. If the printer is not wireless, you’ll have to connect to your printer via USB cable. Some people prefer using the wired connection because it allows for faster data transfers and quicker printing. Depending on the speed of your Wi-Fi and how strong the signal is, it can take time for the document to send from computer to printer over the network. Using a wired connection eliminates this issue. Other connections you may have are: Ethernet for wired connection to your network; Airprint or Google Cloud Print for quick direct printing over the cloud/internet; USB hard drive or memory card to print directly from storage devices; or PictBridge to print directly from cameras.
