The HP LaserJet P2050 series is a line of monochrome laser printers for small offices and workgroups, best known through the P2055d, P2055dn and P2055x. They are single-function printers, with automatic two-sided printing on the d models and Gigabit networking on the dn and x models.

HP rates the series at up to 35 pages per minute on letter paper (33 ppm on A4) with up to 1200 x 1200 dpi output. A 600 MHz processor and 64 MB of expandable memory run the engine, paper up to legal size is supported, and HP rates a 50,000-page monthly duty cycle. The printers stand 10.6 inches tall and weigh between 22 and 23.4 pounds depending on model.

These printers use the HP 05A black toner cartridge, rated for about 2,300 pages. GS Toner stocks the genuine HP 05A as a single and in a 2-pack.
