Took out my old cartridge and pugged in the new one. The printer said Ummm Good and it has been happy ever since. My wallet on the other hand said What Happened!
My printer was working fine before I replaced the blank ink cartridge. Afterward, my printouts were hopelessly garbled and marked up to the point they were unusable and unreadable. I updated all my software and made sure all the other suggestions were followed to the letter, but the problem persisted. I have no choice but to assume it was this toner cartridge that was somehow defective. I've ordered a replacement, so we'll see ...
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi,
I am sorry that you have had this happen to you. It does not sound like a toner cartridge could have caused these problems, but as you say, we'll see.
If it does turn out to be the printer, please to not hesitate to contact us for help: hp.com/contactHP
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The website and box indicated the stated page counts. I tend to get about 200 more pages than stated, so overall I am happy. One knock is I do not buy until just before need, as I had one I stockpiled which actually was defective (leaked yellow toner) when I went to use it. I was past the return window, so take this into account. Otherwise I would not hesitate to recommend, especially since I've had printer damaging issues with aftermarket toner. I compare it to using Pot form the black market vs Pot from MM dispensary, the former you never know what you are getting. I've been able to maintain this printer over 10 years and credit the HP original toner for the reason.
