The HP LaserJet 3055 Printer Is A True Multifunction Performer
It's no secret that the HP LaserJet 3055 printer is a true multifunction performer across almost every assessment aspect. It occupies a place in the Hewlett-Packard all in one or multifunction printer universe that is aimed squarely at the pocketbook of the home office or small office entrepreneur who's looking to save a bit of money by combining faxing, copying, scanning and printing in one nicely designed unit.
In terms of price for one of these very versatile office machines, the 3055 sits at perhaps the upper end of the scale, coming in as it does for about $600. This is a couple of hundred dollars more than many other Hewlett-Packard all-in-one printers, but the price is certainly justified by its high quality of printing and its speed, as well. Indeed, this black-and-white laser printer is also fairly durable, which is somewhat of a surprise.
In terms of print speed, a purchaser can expect the printer to put out about 19 pages in a single minute. For one who is looking for good laser print quality and capability along with speed of nearly 20 pages in a minute, this particular all-in-one printer will be sure to appeal. This is especially the case for those home office or small office entrepreneurs who need to save money by combining all their office machines into one compact unit.
Print quality with the 3055 is excellent across the board, by the way. It's printer is capable of producing high quality product from the 1,200 dpi print resolution capability. Any print job that emerges will look sharp, crisp and clear and it will also appear in a relatively short amount of time. The included copy machine also can deliver 600 dots per inch of resolution, as well.
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.
As far as how well this HP model does and its subsidiary functions (scanning, faxing and copying), one would have to say that it does well indeed. The fax machine includes a nice 33.6 kb per second internal fax modem and its memory can hold up to 110 pages of fax or received product. It even works well as a scanner, including 600 dpi optical resolution.
In terms of connectivity, the LaserJet 3055 gives one the choice of either using USB or Ethernet ports. Additionally, the printer is fairly versatile in terms of the kinds of operating systems it can run, including Apple Mac OS X 10.3 and later platforms, as well as many different Windows operating systems. It's nice, as well, that can make use of Linux.
The 3055 may not be the kind of all-in-one or multifunction printer for everybody, because it does cost slightly more than other Hewlett-Packard all-in-one's. But for the price (which currently is running about $600), the HP LaserJet 3055 printer will deliver completely on all that it promises, and will be a durable multifunction printer, as well. It has a monthly duty cycle of 7,000 pages per month. It's compact and light in weight. Indeed, it looks like the 3055 is an ideal candidate for many an entrepreneur.
