Appreciating What the HP Color LaserJet 8550n Printer Can Do

Appreciating what the HP Color LaserJet 8550n printer can do will be quite easy after just a few minutes of use. Hewlett-Packard seems to have built this particular laser printer with a medium-sized business in mind. As well, it also looks as if it was intended for a large workgroup within any size business. It prints in both monochrome and color at decent speeds and it also is reasonably priced.

When it comes to print speed in monochrome, a user can expect about 24 pages every 60 seconds and around six pages in that same time span for a color print job. It's more obvious that Hewlett-Packard intended for this printer to be used as a monochrome printer with the capability to handle the occasional full-color print job. If considering a printer for its color ability, keep that point in mind.

There is no USB connection available with the 8550n, but that hardly is an issue as it does come with a well-functioning Ethernet 10/100 and a workable parallel port, which is kind of old-style but still applicable even in today's ultra-wired and wireless workgroups. No IT specialist has ever said that he or she has had a problem getting this particular printer going in nothing flat.

As far as the quality of the print job, Hewlett-Packard has ensured that there will be no unpleasant surprises. The 8550n comes standard with 600 dots per inch print resolution capability, which is usually more than enough for most business needs. Any graphics-intensive products should also come out looking acceptable, though business presentation documents could benefit from 1200 dpi.
