HP introduced the 35 page per minute (ppm) P2055 printer in October 2008, followed by the 30 ppm P2035 printer in November of the same year.

The P2035 uses only a 2,300 low yield cartridge, where the P2055 uses both the low yield and a 6,500 high yield cartridge. Both printers ship with “introductory” (starter) cartridges that are identical to the low yield replacement cartridge, but filled with less toner. Conversion to a low yield replacement cartridge requires only the proper chip be installed with the full 2,200 toner load.

The drum section design has an extended drive shaft, which replaces the more familiar "trilobe" on the drive gear side of the drum.
