Hewlett-Packard's Color LaserJet 4550
Hewlett-Packard's Color LaserJet 4550 printer family features Internet-enabled
technologies and remote management tools designed to make color
printing easier, offering exceptional print quality, and leading
total cost of ownership and superior reliability. The 4550 features
an embedded Web server that supports remote management from a
standard Web browser, which allows network managers to customize
printer alerts and usage statistics, as well as monitor and manage
their consumables. New ease-of-use features for the 4550 include the
printer's fast infrared walk-up printing capabilities, allowing print
jobs without a PC or server connection. Other features include
continuous toner-level sensing that allows users to detect the
precise level of toner for more accurate print-job management. In
addition, private printing, quick copy, proof and hold, and stored
jobs offer users the security, convenience, and timesaving solutions
they seek. HP has also improved the performance of the 4550 by
enhancing the printer with a 233 MHz processor; 128 MB of RAM,
upgradeable to 192 MB; a 5 GB hard disk, allowing the user to print
multiple original copies at engine speed; and an HP JetDirect 610N
network card, which provides improved network bandwidth. The engine
speed is four pages per minute for color and 16 ppm for monochrome
print jobs. Hewlett-Packard, Palo Alto, CA, (800) 752-0900,
