Hewlett-Packard LaserJet P2055x Laser Printer

 

The LaserJet P2055x monochrome laser printer is designed for speed and volume rather than finesse. Given its fairly low price ($499 as of May 25, 2009), it's an enticing choice for a small office or workgroup that pumps out a lot of pages....

Pretty fast; automatic duplexer included ; High standard paper capacity

Expensive toner ; Rough-looking graphics quality

Pairing high-volume capabilities with high toner costs is the kicker in this otherwise nice unit.

HP LaserJet P2055dn

 

Judged in a vacuum—by which I mean without looking at the price—the Hewlett-Packard HP P2055dn ($399 direct) is a terrific monochrome laser for heavy-duty personal printing or for shared printing in a home office, micro office, or small workgroup. It's...

Fast. Built-in duplexer and 300-sheet capacity are standard, with 800-sheet maximum. Ethernet connection. Small size

Below-par graphics. Relatively expensive. Relatively high running cost

The HP LaserJet P2055dn is a fast, capable monochrome laser suitable for sharing or for use as a personal printer, but it's a little pricey for what it delivers.

Greart printer!

 

Went back to a HP laser printer after having a few inkjet all in one printers at a lower cost. Went through three in just 4 years. I am SO glad I finally gave in and spent the extra money on this printer. It works great. Fast start up. I have it set to...

Excellent printer. Replaces my old Laserjet 2015 that had formatter problems. I really like operating this one in the quiet mode. Works great.

I have been using this printer for several months and I am very satified with it's performance. We also have three more of these in our area. They seem to be holding up just fine. Thank you.

Great Printer for the Money

 

I've had the P2055dn for about a month. No problems, easy network setup and great print quality - love the dual-side printing. As has been stated before in the reviews, if you have Windows 7, make sure you download the "HP Universal Printing PCL6"...
