The LaserJet 8150 was introduced in November 2000 - its a substantially improved version of the 8100 so it shares some parts but not others. Despite its age the specification is quite adequate for many jobs, an A3 printer is still an expensive item. In January 2010 the LaserJet 8150 is still widely used.

The LJ 8150 was based on the Canon WX engine which was also used as the Canon LBP-WX, LBP2460, Lexmark Optra N Model 240 and 245 and QMS 2425.
