LaserJet P2056

What the LaserJet P2056 lacks in novelty it makes up for in tenure — a late-2000s monochrome printer that became the quiet default in offices valuing reliability over features. Single-function, black-and-white, and still printing.

Cartridges come from the HP 05A/05X line — CE505A or CE505X high-yield. The P2056's long service history means both cartridges are stocked deep and priced competitively.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the LaserJet P2056 use CE505A or a different cartridge?

The LaserJet P2056 runs on CE505A (standard) and CE505X (high-yield). Keep the code from your empty cartridge handy when you reorder.

Do I need special software to use the LaserJet P2056?

The LaserJet P2056 needs its print driver at minimum; the full software bundle adds scanning and maintenance tools, which matter most if your LaserJet P2056 is a multifunction model.

Should I buy the standard A or the high-yield X cartridge for the LaserJet P2056?

The LaserJet P2056 accepts both the standard CE505A and the higher-yield CE505X, and they are fully interchangeable — choose the X version when the LaserJet P2056 prints a lot, and the A version for lighter use.
