HP LaserJet P2055d toner
Your LaserJet P2055d takes the 05A (standard yield) and 05X (high yield). At our price that is about 0.6¢ a page.
The HP LaserJet P2055d is a mono laser printer in the LaserJet P2055 series, which shares cartridges across 3 models.
It takes two black cartridges that differ only in capacity: the 05A at about 2,300 pages and the 05X at about 6,500. At our prices that is 1.5¢ a page against 0.6¢, so the high-yield cartridge costs less to run unless you print very little.
On this printer the drum is built into the cartridge, so there is no separate drum to buy or reset. Every new cartridge brings a fresh drum with it.
HP ships this model with dynamic security, which is designed to block cartridges that do not carry a new or reused HP chip. Cartridges that reuse the original HP chip keep working.
When you compare prices, compare cost per page rather than the sticker price: a cheaper cartridge with half the rated yield costs more to run. Every cartridge here ships free, is covered by our printer damage protection and can be returned within 90 days, opened or not.
HP ships this printer with dynamic security. It is built to work only with cartridges that carry a new or reused HP chip, and firmware updates maintain that. Remanufactured cartridges that reuse an HP chip keep working.
