18 Evaluating color laser printers
Easily handles complex print jobs
With 160 MB or 288 MB of printer memory standard (depending on printer model), expandable
up to 544 MB, and a high-powered 533 MHz processor, print jobs are processed quickly to
ensure that you take full advantage of the 27 ppm letter (28 ppm A4) print engine speed.
You won’t have to worry about information flow bottlenecks from your network because the
HP Jetdirect 620n Fast Ethernet print server handles up to 6 MB of data per second (optional for the
HP Color LaserJet 5550 printer).
Complete accuracy and quality printing is guaranteed through automatic switching of HP PCL 6,
HP PCL 5c, and HP postscript level 3 emulation.
Optional wireless Multiplex XHTML-Print printing
Easily and reliably print from Bluetooth-enabled personal devices like mobile phones and pocket
PCs via the optional HP bt1300 adapter. The HP Color LaserJet 5550 series printer natively
supports the page description language (PDL) Multiplex XHTML-Print, allowing you to effortlessly
print e-mails, documents, or digital images and photos from personal devices, while being assured
that what you see on your screen is what will print on the page.

Convenient job retention features
There are four job retention features: Quick Copy, Proof and Hold, Private Printing, and Stored Job.
All features are available with the HP high-performance EIO hard disk, standard with the HP Color
LaserJet 5550hdn printer. The Proof and Hold and Private Printing features are available with the
HP Color LaserJet 5550dtn printer or by adding RAM to the other printer models, for a total of at
least 160 MB. For information on ordering the hard disk or memory, see Appendix C, “Accessories
and supplies,” on page 41.
Quick Copy Prints the requested number of copies of a job and stores a copy of the job on the printer’s hard
disk. Additional copies of the job can be printed later, directly from the printer’s control panel.
Proof and Hold Provides a quick and easy way to print one copy and proof it before printing the remaining
copies. You can either continue printing the remaining copies, which have been saved at the
printer, or cancel them from the printer’s control panel. After the additional copies are printed, the
Proof and Hold job is deleted from the printer. This reduces network traffic, paper waste, and
supplies costs.
Private Printing Protect confidential documents with the Private Printing feature. This feature lets you specify that a
job will not be printed until you release it using a 4-digit Personal Identification Number (PIN)
through the printer’s control panel. When you enter the PIN in the driver, it is sent to the printer as
part of the print job.
Stored Job Allows you to download a print job to the printer’s optional hard disk without printing it. You can
then print the job at any time from the printer’s control panel. For example, you may want to
download a personnel form, calendar, time sheet, or accounting form that other users can access
and print. To store a print job permanently on the optional hard disk, select the Stored Job option
in the driver when printing the job.
