Review: HP Launch LaserJet P2035, P2055d and P2055dn
HP has announced the arrival of three new startup laser printers, P2035, P2055d and P2055dn. All three printers fall into economical range as per the company’s brochure, and should be able to handle 3000 pages per month on the higher end.
The base model, P2035 has a best printing resolution of 600 dpi and prints at a speed of 30ppm. The printer has a 266 MHz processor and 16MB memory for caching prints. The printer has two print trays, 250 page and 150 page. Connectivity is through USB and parallel ports and the printer is compatible with Windows, Linux and Mac operating systems. P2035 has a quiet mode that brings down the printer noise levels to 50 dB; however, the printing speed also dips along with the sound which is disappointing. Manufacturer claims that the printer does not release ozone during its operation. HP has set a nominal price of £160 for this printer.
The next model, P2055d contains all the features of the former with some enhancements. It has a best printing resolution of 1200 dpi. The two paper trays can hold 250 and 800 pages each. Internal memory on the printer is quadrupled at 64 MB. This printer is estimated to cost £240 in the market.
P2055dn as the suffix n denotes is a networking printer. It can connect onto networks through the Ethernet port located on the backside of the printer. While all the printer features are similar to P2055d, it contains more memory at 128 MB and can be expanded until 384 MB. The networking and additional memory has taken the price of this printer to £320.
