Laser Jet P2055d Continues to Jam Over and Over
Sounds like the drum.
HP have a troubleshooting guide for repeated images that will tell you which component needs replacing.

It could be either the toner cartridge, or the fuser. Unfortunately I could not fine a defect ruler for that model. However there is a simple test you can run to determine which it is. It may take a few tries to get it. Keep in mind that the toner on the page will wipe off on anything that touches it, so watch where you grab the paper from.
Start a print and listen for the paper to start feeding through the printer. With the paper inside the printer, but before it starts to come out the exit. Open the top cover and remove the toner cartridge. Carefully remove the paper and look to see if the ghost image is on the paper already.
If there is then your looking at a defective toner cartridge. If it's only clean print then it's the fuser assembly. The trick is to stop the printer with the tail edge of the paper still under the toner cartridge.
With it being at approximately 1/3 of the page I would suspect it's the fuser, but this test will help you narrow it down.

About how many pages have been printed on the printer? I have several of these installed and we have just replaced them when they start acting up. It must be four years old.

Fuser. Just replaced one this morning with the same issue. The text was "ghosted" down from the top, and the toner smudged easily. I did the full maintenance kit, which I got for ~90 from amazon and used the HP instructions online as the ones with the parts were nonsense. In retrospect, not an easy repair but its doable.

Could be the fuser or the toner/drum (I believe it's a combined unit on these printers)
If it doesn't get hot enough the toner doesn't fuse to the paper properly and leaves a ghost image on the surface of the fuser.
As the fuser rotates around again the ghost image ends up on the paper further down the print.
Could also be the drum if the cleaning blade isn't cleaning the toner off the surface of the drum properly.
What Ken suggests is the easiest way to check which it is but I suspect it's the fuser.

We have had the same ghosting on print output from some of our old printers, Has been a range of issues from the Cleaning Blade that wipes the drum after transfer to the paper or the fuser not totally baking the text/image on the first pass and picking up some residue that is deposited on the second trip around. Neither is fun. You said images smudges, that sounds most like a fuser not getting hot enough.
Some repairs are easy, but some require so much time to disassemble that you are loosing money by repairing. Be sure to locate a good repair manual first and see how involved a repair will be before buying any parts.
After years of replacing one bad machine at a time I have finally have standardized our office on the HP P3015 B/W laser and the HP x451 color inkjets. Both reasonably priced, good warranties (+HP care packs w/3 year advance replacement), with excellent PPM speeds, and long life, we hope to get close to a million pages out of them.
