In terms of where the 3055 fits on the price scale for an all-in-one, it lists for about $600, which is a few hundred dollars more than other Hewlett-Packard multifunction printers. This printer, however, delivers better quality and faster printing, along with other functions. It is a black and white, or monochrome, printer and it is also fairly durable, as multi-functions go.

Print speed with this HP is excellent across the board, and one can reasonably expect 19 pages per minute of performance with little or no trouble at all. Getting laser printing capability at nearly 20 pages per minute from an all-in-one or multi-function printer using HP LaserJet printer toners is sure to appeal to most any entrepreneur out there looking to save money, yet get good performance from a multifunction printer.

Quality of print is also excellent with a 3055. In printer mode it can produce 1,200 dots per inch of resolution, which is excellent and will ensure that any print job tasked to the device will come out looking very clear and sharp and also in a fairly short period of time. The copy machine will put out copy at about 600 dpi, which is fairly standard for most copiers in this lineup.

As far as how much paper the 3055 can hold, it’s good to know that it can keep 250 sheets on board a single auto load input tray. It has an additional output tray that can hold 100 sheets of product from the printer or copier or fax machine. Copies will also come out at the same rate of speed as print jobs would, which shows that HP has done a good job at designing an all-in-one that does nothing poorly.

This HP model also works well as a scanner, fax machine and copier, with a fax modem rated at 33.6 kb per second. This is fairly standard, but the fax machine has an onboard memory that can hold up to 110 pages of product. It works well as a scanner, and that function delivers 600 dpi optical resolution. The LaserJet 3055, it seems, does most everything well and pretty much nothing poorly at all.

The 3055 can connect to a computer via either a high-speed USB port or a very nice Ethernet 10/100 port. It can also make use of many different operating systems, including most Windows versions as well as Linux, and Apple Mac OS X 10.3 or later operating systems. This gives it a versatility that is sure to be attractive to the home office or small office entrepreneur looking for a versatile all-in-one.

The 3055 will not be for everyone and there are other Hewlett-Packard all in one or multifunction printers out there for less money, but it will be hard to find one for this price ($600) that does everything so well and is so durable, with a 7000 pages per month duty cycle. It also only weighs about 26 pounds, meaning it’ll be easy to move it around as needed. Taken altogether, there’s a lot to like about the HP LaserJet 3055 printer.

Youll also like the quality of the LaserJet 3055 replacement toners, as well as the great price youll find on HP toners when you search online for remanufactured toner.
