Farewell to an old friend; The HP P2055 printer.

Sad News
HP P2055
HP Discontinues P2055 series.
I knew this day would eventually arrive.  Without any fanfare, HP removed the LaserJet P2055 printer series from its website.  It saddened me.

For the past few years, the P2055 printers have been one of my favorites to recommend.  I have rehearsed over and over the benefits of the this printer compared to many of the cheaper models.  The P2055 is the lowest priced black and white HP printer with an LCD display.  The display spells out in English what your printer needs, like paper or toner.  The toner cartridges for the P2055 are a bargain.  At $109 and yielding up to 6500 pages, the cost per page is only $0.0168.

I don't know much about the new replacement series, the HP M401dn and M401dw.  They look fine, but we simply have not had the opportunity to review any yet.  The toner is only available as new HP brand, which is more expensive than the P2055.

But there is hope after all.  We can still get the HP P2055 printers as factory refurbished.  This is great news because factory refurbs carry a full one year HP warranty.  With a price of $299, I'll still recommend the P2055dn, while supplies last.
