HP LaserJet P2055d A4 Duplex Mono Laser Printer | CE457A

HP LaserJet P2055d Overview and Key Numbers

The HP LaserJet P2055d is a compact A4 mono laser printer with a built-in automatic duplexer. Specifically, it prints at up to 33 pages per minute (33ppm) on A4. Consequently, it handles both sides by itself. No manual re-feeding is needed. Also, it delivers true 1200 x 1200 dpi output, so every page looks sharp. Because HP’s Instant-on Technology delivers the first page in as little as 8 seconds from Ready mode, short jobs stay responsive. HP’s own part number for this model is CE457A. So that is the reference to use when ordering. So that is the reference to use when ordering.

Specifically, the P2055d builds on the base P2055 with its automatic duplexer. Both models share the same 600 MHz processor and USB 2.0 connection. Note that the ‘D’ suffix denotes the automatic duplex variant across the P2050 series. Note: the US Letter speed is 35ppm — the 33ppm figure is the correct A4 rating.

HP LaserJet P2055d Duplex Speed and Throughput

The HP LaserJet P2055d prints at up to 33 pages per minute on A4 in simplex mode. Furthermore, the built-in duplexer handles two-sided printing by itself. Simply send a duplex job. So the printer flips each sheet by itself. Consequently, this saves paper and removes the manual re-feed step needed on the base P2055. Furthermore, HP rates the P2055d for a maximum duty cycle of 50,000 pages per month. Consequently, it handles sustained workgroup output well.

HP LaserJet P2055d Resolution and Toner

The HP LaserJet P2055d prints at a true 1200 x 1200 dpi. Also, HP FastRes 1200 and HP ProRes 1200 enhance sharpness. Resolution Enhancement technology (REt) smooths curves and diagonal lines. Consequently, every document comes out crisp and professional. Specifically, it uses the CE505A cartridge (2,300 pages). The CE505X high-capacity cartridge (6,500 pages), both rated to ISO/IEC 19752.

HP LaserJet P2055d Connections and Paper Capacity

The HP LaserJet P2055d connects via Hi-Speed USB 2.0. Note that this model has no built-in network interface. If you need duplex and network printing, the P2055dn (CE459A) adds embedded Ethernet alongside the duplexer. An optional HP Jetdirect external print server can also add network access to the P2055d.

Paper handling includes a 50-sheet multipurpose tray (Tray 1) and a 250-sheet tray (Tray 2). Consequently, standard capacity is 300 sheets. The 150-sheet face-down output bin keeps finished pages organised. An optional 500-sheet Tray 3 (CE464A) expands input capacity to 800 sheets total. Media support covers A4, A5, A6, B5, envelopes, labels, and cardstock.

HP LaserJet P2055d vs the P2050 Series

The P2050 series divides clearly by duplex and connection. The base P2055 (CE456A) is USB-only with manual duplex via the driver. This model (CE457A) — is identical but adds a built-in automatic duplexer. Both models have 64 MB standard memory (expandable to 320 MB). The P2055dn (CE459A) steps up to 128 MB (expandable to 384 MB). It also adds embedded Ethernet alongside automatic duplex. The P2055x (CE460A) adds a standard 500-sheet Tray 3 on top of all P2055dn features. Consequently, total input reaches 800 sheets.

If you print on both sides but don’t need network printing, the P2055d is the right choice. All four models share the same 33ppm speed and 1200 x 1200 dpi engine. They also share a 600 MHz processor and 50,000-page duty cycle.

HP LaserJet P2055d: Refurbished and Tested In-House

Our own technicians refurbish every unit we sell. We don’t outsource this step. First, we run test prints and check output quality closely. We look for streaking, banding, ghosting, and poor toner adhesion. Next, we check fuser performance, so every page lands square and the toner bonds correctly. We then feed paper from each input source, including the multipurpose tray. We also run the duplex path to confirm reliable two-sided output. We also test all connections, and we check consumables and counters for both functionality and quality.

Afterwards, we reset each unit to factory defaults. So no old settings carry over. So no previous settings carry over to you. Finally, we clean every machine thoroughly, inside and out, and grade it before it ships. For the full picture, you can read more about us.

Furthermore, each printer ships with a 90-day warranty. A 14-day return window is also included. This covers you from day one. You’ll find full terms on our terms & conditions page. Also, we offer free delivery to mainland UK addresses. So the price you see is the price you pay.
