Is it compatible with your printer?

The CE255A (55A) is the toner fitted across this entire family of HP monochrome printers, from the professional-range models (P3015 and Pro MFP M521) to the Enterprise 500 range (M525). The letters that follow each model name indicate its features: d is duplex (automatic double-sided printing), n is wired network connectivity, dn combines network and duplex, dw adds Wi-Fi, f indicates a multifunction unit with fax, and x denotes the configuration with the highest tray capacity. Every one of them, regardless of the suffix, uses exactly the same cartridge. If you have any of these models, this is your toner:

The consumable you need and how much it yields

The compatible HP CE255A (55A) toner has a yield of 6,000 pages according to the ISO/IEC 19752 standard, the international benchmark that measures the pages of a monochrome cartridge at 5% coverage. It's the same yield figure HP declares for the original cartridge, so replacing the toner just as often and filling the same volume of documents no longer means the usual outlay.

Because these are laser printers, the toner packs everything you need into a single cartridge: there's no need to buy a separate drum. When the cartridge runs out, you swap the whole thing and the machine is back to delivering its 6,000 pages from scratch. Manufactured under ISO 9001 quality processes, it delivers crisp, consistent printing from the first page to the last.

What it costs you to print

Here's the key point: the same 6,000 pages, the same ISO standard, the same quality, but for much less. The cost per page plummets compared with the branded cartridge, and on high-volume machines like the P3015 or the M521 and M525 multifunction units — built for offices that print a lot — that saving multiplies every time you replace toner over the course of the year.
