HP LaserJet P2055 Printer
A4 / US letter mono printer aimed at office use.
The printer features:
Multipurpose tray handling letterhead, envelopes or up to 50 pages of plain paper. The printer can handle index cards and prescription forms.
250 sheet built-in main tray. 150 sheet output bin to handle long print jobs.
Print cartridge capacities of 2300 pages or 6,500 pages.
Hi-Speed USB 2.0 port for simplicity.
Gigabit Ethernet network built-in on the P2055dn and P2055x models.
600MHz Processor and 128MB memory so the printer should maintain full speed even when printing complex documents.
Security device slot to secure the printer to a desk.
HP presumably intended to add models to this series - they called it the P2030 series but there just seem to be the P2035 and P2035n.
The P2035 uses the same engine as the P2055 but has a slightly slower speed of 30ppm and fewer features. They lack:
The auto duplex unit for double sided print.
The LCD control panel - it just has two buttons and lights
A smaller cartridge rated for 2,300 pages
A smaller 16MB memory, not extendible
Half the duty cycle - 25,000 pages per month.
The P2055 doesn't have the P2035 option for a parallel port - that's the only point on which it might be a weaker design.
The P2035 and P2055 series was launched in November 2008.

Control:
LCD control panel - see the P2055 series.
The P2055dn and x have a password protected HP Embedded web-server.
Duty Cycle:
HP give some indication of printer robustness with a duty cycle rating.
Recommended monthly volume: 750 to 3,000 pages; Duty cycle: 50,000 pages
Print Speed:
Up to 35 pages per minute.
First page out as quickly as 8.0 seconds using instant-on technology.
The exact print speed will depend on both the controlling system and document complexity. As usual a laser-printer should achieve something close to the rated speeds when handling ordinary office documents but may slow down when dealing with complex graphics.

Fuser:
The fuser in a laser printer adheres the toner powder to the page using a combination of heat and pressure. The fuser in the HP P2035 uses a fast-heating ceramic bar and a foil.
RM1-6406-000CN Fusing Assembly - Bonds toner to paper with heat - For 220-240VAC (+/- 10%) operation. Used in P2035, P2035n P2055d, P2055dn, P2055x
RM1-6405-000CN Fusing Assembly - Bonds toner to paper with heat - For 110-127VAC (+/- 10%) operation. Used in P2035, P2035n P2055d, P2055dn, P2055x
The fuser in the P2055 (and P2035) is not regarded as user changeable. There are five pages of instructions in the service manual. Briefly, you have to remove the right and left covers, rear cover, rear door and the duplex assembly (on the P2055). Six connectors then have to be released and the wire harness removed from its guide. Three more connectors can then be released and the ground connector unscrewed. Three gears then need to be unlatched from their tabs. The three screws holding the fuser then needs removing. It's an easy enough job for an engineer - and the service manual has pictures.
Because the fuser is not user changeable HP do not make an "official" maintenance kit available for these printers. There is nothing to stop retailers providing kits.
Whats In The Box:
What usually is not provided is a USB or network Cable.
Warranty:
One-year, return to authorised service centre, limited hardware warranty. Warranty and support options vary by product, country and local legal requirements.
