Doesn't last

I'm unable to use the HP subscription for the laser jet and the ink is very expensive. I feel as soon as it's changed, more ink needs to be ordered. The ink levels seem fine but my ink is coming out pink and streaks. Not thrilled with this at all.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

It's hard for me to think about anything other than the high of the ink. The cart just fine.

Cost is too high

The cost of replacing toner cartridges is exhorbitant. The materials involved manufacturing the toner cartridges do not justify the high replacement cost. We participate in the recycling program. Why can't we purchase recycled cartridges, or at least get a credit to apply to replacements? This lowers my opinion of the HP brand.

Easy to use and has a long life. Just wish the extended capacity cartridges were available at the local office supply store.

Overpriced Toner and Forced Brand Loyalty
on December 12, 2025

I am extremely disappointed with the HP 218X Hi Yld Yll Toner W2182X and with HP as a company. The cartridge itself is outrageously expensive, and HP has intentionally locked their printers so you are forced to buy only their branded toner. Third party options that cost far less are blocked, even when they work perfectly well.
This feels like a cash grab, not customer care. The printer hardware was reasonably priced, but the long term cost of ownership is absurd once you realize you are trapped into buying HP toner at inflated prices. There is no technical reason for this restriction other than profit.
Print quality is fine, but it is nothing special or worth the premium. Plenty of other brands deliver comparable results without punishing customers at checkout. HP is prioritizing control and revenue over fairness and choice.
This is the last HP printer I will ever buy. I strongly recommend anyone shopping for a printer look at brands that respect their customers and allow affordable alternatives instead of locking you into overpriced consumables.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
