The HP Color CP5225 printer was introduced in November 2009 in Asia, Europe and North America, and in April 2010 in the Middle East. Print speeds were OEM-rated at 20 pages per minute (ppm) in both color and monochrome, with a duty cycle of 75,000 pages per month.

Toner cartridges are physically the same as the low yield cartridges used by the Canon LBP-9600, LBP-9500 and LBP-9100 , with black being OEM rated at 7,000 page yield, and color cartridges at 7,300 page yield.

Like the LBP-9000 series there is no drum shutter and no visible seal or pull tab on the outside of the cartridge. A chip is located on the waste bin of each cartridge and is required for correct printer operation.
