Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Lanier MP 5055 is actually for

Most printer pages just tell you what a printer does. Here's the honest version: when this machine is the right choice, when it's fine, and when you should look at something else. We sell a lot of these for a reason, but the reason is not "every office."

Best fit

Pick this if...

  • You run a workgroup of 20-50 people that needs B&W tabloid (11x17) output at 50 ppm and the 10.1" Android Smart Operation Panel.
  • You print 7,000-15,000 pages a month and want headroom — engine rated up to 225,000.
  • You scan stacks of two-sided originals daily and want single-pass duplex (220-sheet SPDF, 180 ipm).
  • You're standardizing on the current Ricoh/Lanier Smart Operation Panel fleet so workflow apps and widgets carry across.
  • You need OCR-searchable PDFs and scan-to-folder as a daily workflow with full Streamline NX integration.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print 15,000-22,000 pages a month — engine handles it, but the MP 6055 (60 ppm) will pay back in operator wait time.
  • You want wireless out of the box — Wireless LAN is an optional 802.11a/b/g/n unit, budget around $300 installed.
  • You're replacing an MP 5054 — same chassis, same SPDF; the 10.1" Smart Operation Panel is the only real change.
  • You need finishing — the 500/1000/3000-sheet finishers, saddle-stitch unit, and stapleless finisher all bolt on (plan footprint).
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You print under 2,000 pages a month — you're paying for a 168-lb tabloid B&W MFP and using maybe 5% of it. Get a desktop A4 unit instead.
  • You need color. This is mono only — get an MP C5504 instead.
  • You need 90 ppm or higher — go to the MP 9003 / 9002SP series.
  • You need genuine OEM toner via retail — Lanier supplies ship through authorized dealer channels, not big-box retail.
  • You're looking for a brand-new unit with full warranty — discontinued; sold refurbished or off-lease now.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Lanier MP 5055 (model MP 5055SP) is a floor-standing tabloid (11x17) B&W laser MFP built for workgroups of 20-50 users. It prints and copies at 50 ppm, holds 1,200 sheets standard across two 550-sheet drawers and a 100-sheet bypass, and expands to 4,700 sheets with the Tandem LCT plus Side LCT. First-page-out is 2.9 seconds and warm-up is under 24 seconds. The standard 220-sheet single-pass document feeder (SPDF) scans at up to 180 ipm in duplex. The major change over the MP 5054 is the 10.1-inch Smart Operation Panel — the same Android-based touchscreen used on the rest of the current Ricoh/Lanier MP lineup, with widgets, customizable home screens, and Workpath app support. Standard connectivity is Gigabit Ethernet, USB 2.0, USB host on the panel, and SD card; Wireless LAN and NFC are optional. AirPrint and Mopria are standard. The thing buyers regret: ordering the 5055 when the 6055 (60 ppm) costs barely more — at any volume above 12,000 pages/month the speed bump pays back fast. Launched 2017, discontinued — sold refurbished or off-lease now.

FAQ

Lanier MP 5055, common questions

The questions we get asked most often on this model. If yours isn't here, call (888) 574-5120 and get an answer in about 30 seconds.

Yes, the Lanier MP 5055 ships with a starter toner cartridge that yields approximately 37,000 pages at 6% coverage. The replacement toner model is 842126 (also known as 841999), which is a high-yield cartridge designed for cost-effective printing. When you lease through us with toner included, you never pay for toner separately.
The Lanier MP 5055 is a floor-standing tabloid (11x17) monochrome laser MFP designed for workgroups of 20-50 users, with a print speed of 50 ppm and a standard paper capacity of 1,200 sheets. In contrast, the Lanier IM 430F is a desktop monochrome MFP suited for offices of 8-20 people, with a print speed of 45 ppm and a standard paper capacity of 600 sheets. The MP 5055 features a larger 10.1-inch Smart Operation Panel and supports tabloid-sized printing, while the IM 430F is more compact and has a lower recommended monthly volume. For small offices with lower print volumes, the IM 430F may be a more cost-effective choice.
The Lanier MP 5055 is designed for workgroups of 20-50 users and has a print speed of 50 ppm, making it suitable for small businesses with moderate to high print volumes. However, its floor-standing design and tabloid-sized printing capabilities may be more than what a small business needs. If your business has lower print volumes or limited space, consider stepping up to a commercial option that better fits your needs.
No, the Lanier MP 5055 is a monochrome laser printer and can only print in black and white. If you need color printing, consider alternatives such as the Lanier MP C5004, Lanier MP C6004, or Lanier MP C7504.
