It does make it less noisy but it affects print speed, which slowed from 35ppm to 17.6ppm.

HP has included a quiet mode on the LaserJet P2055dn mono laser printer. As a result the printer only takes 2.5sec to print a single page but the overall speed is closer to 14.7ppm roughly four seconds per page. It takes an average of 14.4sec for the first page to come out when using ProRes. At its fastest - using either the 600dpi or FastRes 1200dpi setting - the HP LaserJet P2055dn prints the first page of a document in an average 9.5sec and subsequent pages at a rate of 35 pages per minute (ppm). Though both the FastRes and ProRes resolutions are 1200dpi, the latter produces higher quality documents at a slower pace. Print quality settings are separated into 600dpi, 1200dpi FastRes and 1200dpi ProRes modes. 802.1X authentication security is also included this can also be found on competing printers like the Fuji Xerox Phaser 3435DN. Using the interface, default print settings can be configured, and administrators can set up the LaserJet P2055dn mono laser printer's firewall policy. The Web-based interface is sparse, with statistics and the consumables status being the most useful aspects. Unfortunately, a network configuration report must be printed to determine the initial IP address it has been assigned. You can also access a cleaning mode that helps to eradicate dust build-up in the printer's movable parts, separately reset firewall and security settings to factory defaults, and choose whether the printer's Web server uses the HTTP or HTTPS (secure HTTP) protocol. It has a two-line, monochrome LCD and default print density settings can be changed from the printer itself. USB and Ethernet connections are both available. The printer comes standard with 128MB of memory, which is user-upgradeable to 384MB through a removable side panel. It has a 250-sheet paper tray and an additional multi-purpose tray the HP LaserJet P2055x offers a paper capacity of 800 sheets. The $899 LaserJet P2055dn mono laser printer adds automatic duplexing and a $100 premium to the HP P2055n base model. It also has some security features that suit small networks and a 'quiet mode'. If you need to print good quality monochrome documents quickly, HP's LaserJet P2055dn laser printer is certainly up to the job.
