HP LaserJet 2550 Toner Cartridges

HP 2550 Printer Review

At first glance, the HP LaserJet 2550 color laser printer is fairly unassuming. Its bare exterior is a basic beige and gray, with a simple control panel. Under the hood, however, is a printer with fast speeds, excellent quality and a very large paper capacity, similar to the LaserJet 3500 toner. Multiple models offer different configurations to suit the needs of a variety of buyers, and many aspects can be expanded at any time via optional upgrades. All of this comes at a price lower than many models in its class, and buyers can save money on toners with the low cost of HP 2550 toner cartridges.

Print speed is excellent for the price. Monochrome prints come out at up to 20 pages per minute with color prints at up to 4 pages per minute. While color speeds lag behind a bit, the quality of color printing is better than most competing models. Text quality is very sharp and detailed.

Paper capacity and paper handling are also impressive. The unit can hold up to 375 sheets, divided among a 250-sheet standard tray and a 125-sheet multipurpose tray. The printer supports a wide range of paper types and sizes.

There are multiple configurations available to suit different needs. The 2550 is the base model. The 2550N includes networking support via an ethernet jack, which makes it easy to connect and share across an office network. The 2550L adds extra paper capacity, and the 2550LN adds both networking and extra capacity. All models can also be connected via USB or parallel port if desired. Most features can also be added as an upgrade to the base model.

Since the price of each toner cartridge is a large cost for any model, the affordable price of HP 2550 toner is a real money-saver. With capacities of more than 4,000 pages per LaserJet 2550 toner cartridge, they also have a very low cost per page. Compatible LaserJet 2550 toner is very easy to find from many resellers for even lower prices as well. Replacing HP 2550 toner is a matter of opening the front panel and accessing the cartridges.

Office managers will find the HP 2550 to be a great value with its excellent features and fast speeds. The expandability also makes it somewhat future-proof.
