LaserJet P2056DN

The P2056 grew up into a workgroup printer as the LaserJet P2056DN: Ethernet networking and automatic duplex on HP's late-2000s mono platform. A pod of desks, one networked printer, both sides of every page.

It runs on the 05A/05X cartridge pair — CE505A or high-yield CE505X. Workgroup duty and duplex output both argue for the CE505X.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use CE505A toner in the LaserJet P2056DN?

The correct cartridges for the LaserJet P2056DN are CE505A (standard) and CE505X (high-yield). Check the code printed on your current cartridge to confirm.

Why is the LaserJet P2056DN showing as offline?

An offline LaserJet P2056DN is usually a connection hiccup, not a hardware fault — verify the USB or network link, power-cycle the LaserJet P2056DN, and remove and re-add the printer on your computer if needed.

How do I fix streaks on pages from the LaserJet P2056DN?

First check the CE505A level in the LaserJet P2056DN, then print a cleaning page from the LaserJet P2056DN's tools menu — streaks that survive a fresh cartridge and a cleaning cycle point to a dirty roller inside the LaserJet P2056DN.
