Generic cartridges worked fine until they made a firmware update on the printers. Then only HP’s proprietary and very expensive cartridges worked. You can get generic refurbished whole set of cartridges for the price of 1 of these. A set of these…cost as much as the printer as a whole.
Have always used HP toner for my HP printers over many years. As with everything else, the toner cartridges are expensive which at some point may be prohibitive for my use. This review applies to the cyan and yellow cartridges. Once the printer notifies you that you are low on toner, you can still print for many more copies. Just keep checking the quality, and you will know when to replace the cartridge.
