Have use HP laser printers for decades for home office use. Very reliable quality printers. Have always used HP toner Cartridges, This printer seem to go through the toner much quicker than usal. Not sure why, I do not think my usage went up that much.
I bought the larger cartridge so I could change it less. I had problems from day one, my printer didn’t recognize it, and I had to turn it off and on several times before it did. A week later I got the automatic message that the toner was out. Impossible with a week old cartridge, especially a high yield cartridge that I had used to print out 3 or 4 jobs. Again I had to turn the printer off and on several times before it continued as normal.
Because this is a brand new printer (which was working fine on the previous factory shipped cartridge), and brand new cartridge, I am not able to discern at this point if it’s the cartridge or the printer or a combination of both.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi,
I'm sorry that you have had these problems. I can well understand if you are not pleased with what has been happening since you got this toner cartridge.
It seems logical to have you exchange the cartridge for another and see if that fixes it. Our return and exchange process is covered, step-by-step, at: store.hp.com/us/en/cv/returnsandexchanges
If you continue to have problems or have any other concerns, it is always an option to contact us: hp.com/contactHP
I am very happy with my printer's performance. I do like the two sided printing feature (saves paper).
The results are not in as to ink usage. The ink cartridge that came in the printer only lasted for 125 to 150 prints. The replacement cartridge claims to last for 1600 impressions. I am keeping track as to how many copies I will get from this cartridge. To date, I am showing 60 prints after 8 weeks of use. Hopefully this ink cartridge will preform as advertised. If not, you will be hearing from me. I am holding off on addressing the questions that you have below for further consideration. I now see that you will not let my send this until I answer all questions so I will check required selections as negative.
This review is not so much about the Toner cartridge but the annoying "Low Toner" pop-ups that started happening over 1,000 pages ago and which cartridge I am still using but it is time to change. Drop the alerts.
