Color Laser 1250
The Dell 1250 brought color laser printing down to a desktop-friendly size and price. Built as a single-function printer with a straightforward USB setup, it was aimed at home offices and tiny workgroups that needed crisp color for flyers, charts, and everyday documents — without paying for features they'd never use.

Frequently Asked Questions
What toner cartridges fit the Dell 1250?
The Dell 1250 accepts the Dell cartridges listed above, including XKP2P and J95NM. Buying by cartridge code rather than by printer description alone avoids mismatches.
Why does my Dell 1250 say a color is low when I mostly print black?
The Dell 1250 uses a little color toner even on mostly-black pages, for calibration and registration. That's why a color cartridge in the XKP2P/J95NM range can run low before black does — it's normal.
Why does my Dell 1250 leave toner smudges on pages?
Smudges that wipe off the page mean the toner isn't being fused — on the Dell 1250 that points to the fuser, not the cartridge. Smudges baked into the page usually mean a dirty drum or a cartridge (XKP2P range) past its best.
