This printer will work on both Mac and PC platforms and has a parallel port connection, allowing for easy networking capabilities. If you are looking to print large documents regularly, there is the potential to add in two further additional paper trays taking this printer from the standard paper capacity of 600 sheets to 1,600 sheets.
The printer will come fully equipped with all four toners in place and replacing these is relatively easy, with the toners in a vertical column.
Overtime there are two other consumable items you will need to replace the image fuser kit and a transfer kit. The HP 5500 toner cartridges come in 13,000 pages yield for the black and 12,000 pages yield for the cyan, magenta and yellow. To allow the user to get the most from this HP 5500 printer, the size of the consumables is larger than usual to help with maintenance and limit the amount of toner changes needed during a print run. This is a printer with minimal whistles and bells but it will keep plodding away for you, completing any job you throw at it, with ease. The duty cycle is 120, 000 pages and the rest of the printer is designed to withstand intense usage. But those replacement prices are pretty good: At the time of this review, a 3500-page black cartridge cost $123, or about 3.5 cents per page, while each 2800-page color cartridge costs $121, or about 4.3 cents per color, resulting in a four-color page cost of about 16.5 cents.The HP Color LaserJet 5500 is a printer for an office with a serious printing schedule on a regular basis. Granted, the machine ships with starter-size, 1200-page supplies for black (K), cyan (C), magenta (M), and yellow (Y)–meaning you’ll have to buy your full-size replacements sooner. While some low-cost printers hit you with high toner costs, the Color LaserJet CP2025n commendably restrains itself. If you extend the input tray to accommodate legal-size media, it sticks out awkwardly. Moveable parts tend to jiggle, wiggle, or rattle. But overall, the parts feel cheap or awkward. A second, 250-sheet input tray costs $149. Manual duplexing with prompts is available you reload sheets into the multipurpose tray, which is unusual but not inconvenient. Its 250-sheet input tray and 150-sheet output tray are adequate it also has a 50-sheet multipurpose tray. The control panel–a two-line, monochrome LCD and adjacent navigation buttons–is simple. Although the printer’s performance should please most people, its design and configuration may not.
