What toner does the HP LaserJet P2055 need, plus 3 compatible models

The HP LaserJet P2055 uses HP CE505A (05A) and higher-capacity CE505X (05X) toner. CF280A and CF280X are HP references for another printer series, although Startoner sells dual-reference compatibles and lists P2055 fit. Check the exact model and the specific seller product page before ordering.

Is it compatible with your printer?

The P2055, P2055d, P2055dn and P2055x variants share HP’s CE505A and CE505X cartridge references. Their suffixes describe printer features such as duplex and networking, not a different toner family. Standard and high capacity remain separate choices. Check the exact variant on the printer label.

The following P2055 models are covered:

• HP LaserJet P2055
• HP LaserJet P2055d
• HP LaserJet P2055dn
• HP LaserJet P2055x

If you are unsure of your exact variant, check the printer label and use our printer finder as a guide. Before paying, also confirm that the linked cartridge listing names your model.

The consumable you need and what it yields

HP identifies CE505A and CE505X as the two capacities for the P2055. The linked compatible products are Startoner listings; HP’s original-cartridge specification does not establish their quality or actual yield.

• Standard: Compatible for HP CE505A (05A): HP declares about 2,300 pages for its original cartridge under ISO/IEC 19752. Startoner lists SKU ST-HP-CF280A for P2055; that seller code does not make CF280A the HP original reference for this printer.
• High capacity: Compatible for HP CE505X (05X): HP declares about 6,500 pages for its original cartridge under ISO/IEC 19752. Startoner lists SKU ST-HP-CF280X for P2055; check the exact variant and declared yield on its product page.

Choose CE505A or CE505X using your page volume and the current cost per page. HP’s figures are for its original cartridges under a standardized test; a compatible listing may make its own claims. Higher capacity usually means fewer changes, but it does not guarantee lower cost or identical print quality.

HP describes its original CE505A as an all-in-one supply with toner and imaging drum in one cartridge. That original does not require a separate drum purchase. For a compatible, check the construction and terms of the specific listing; HP’s original-cartridge specification does not verify another manufacturer’s product.

How much printing costs you

Estimate cost per page by dividing today’s cartridge price by its declared yield. The result is only a comparison estimate: actual yield changes with page content and print settings. Do not assume a fixed saving or print quality equal to the original cartridge.

Use our savings calculator with your own figures. Check the current prices of the CE505A compatible and CE505X compatible on their product pages, along with the stated reference and yield. Old prices or saving percentages should not be treated as current offers.

Frequently asked questions

Does it fit the HP LaserJet P2055d, P2055dn and P2055x?

Yes. HP specifies CE505A and CE505X for the P2055 family, including the d, dn and x variants. Startoner separately lists those printers for its dual-reference standard cartridge and high-capacity cartridge. CF280A/X are HP references for another series, not the P2055 original references. Confirm your exact model and the seller listing before ordering.

How many pages do CE505A and CE505X yield?

HP declares about 2,300 pages for original CE505A and 6,500 for original CE505X under ISO/IEC 19752. These are standardized test yields, not a guarantee for every document. Startoner states yields for its compatible products, but HP’s tests do not independently verify those cartridges. Check each listing and compare it with your printing volume.

Does compatible toner void the printer warranty?

No. A non-HP cartridge does not automatically void HP’s limited printer warranty. Damage attributable to that cartridge may, however, be excluded from HP coverage. Startoner advertises a warranty for its consumable; check the terms on the warranty page. Keep the cartridge reference, invoice and fault diagnosis if a problem arises.

How long does delivery take?

Delivery time is not fixed: it depends on the destination, product and shipping option available for your order. Startoner shows an estimated date and cost before payment. Check both at checkout, especially if you need toner urgently. Do not rely on a general promise that every order arrives within one or two days.

Where can I check more information?

Read our toner identification guide, the article on compatible cartridges, and the compatible HP toner collection. For this P2055, start with HP’s CE505A or CE505X reference, then verify the compatible SKU on the seller’s product page. A CF280 code in a dual-reference seller title is not the original HP reference specified for the P2055.
