HP CE255A Toner Cartridges

Department printers chew through toner, and the HP CE255A — the HP 55A — was made for exactly that workload. It fits the LaserJet P3015 and Enterprise 500 M525 families, including the P3015dn, the P3015x, the Enterprise 500 MFP M525f, and the M521dn. The high-yield HP 55X (CE255X) is the smarter pick for shared machines, lasting noticeably longer between changeovers than the standard 55A. Matching the right cartridge is simple: confirm your printer takes the 55A/55X series, then choose your yield. Both genuine OEM HP cartridges and compatible replacements are stocked here. The OEM route gives you HP-branded originals; the compatible route delivers the same dark, crisp output while cutting what you spend per page — a difference that adds up fast in a busy office.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our office has a P3015dn — 55A or 55X?

Both fit — the 55A (CE255A) is standard yield and the 55X (CE255X) is high yield, and your P3015dn accepts either. Check your current cartridge's label: whichever it reads is a safe reorder. For a shared office printer, the 55X is usually the better buy since it lasts longer between changes.

Do compatible 55A/55X cartridges work in Enterprise printers?

Yes — compatible 55A and 55X cartridges are designed for the full compatibility list, including the Enterprise P3015 and M525 families. Enterprise printers run the same cartridge-recognition checks as any LaserJet, and properly made compatibles pass them. Offices commonly use compatibles in fleet printers to control supply costs.

How can we reduce toner costs on a shared printer?

Three moves help most: choose the high-yield 55X over the 55A, enable the printer's toner-save or EconoMode for internal drafts, and consider compatible cartridges for everyday printing. Together these can cut cost per page substantially. Also set the printer to duplex by default — using less paper pairs naturally with using less toner.
