We bought an HP Pro p1102w in July 2010. This was our second cartridge. We got 1459 pages out of it, printing a mix of text documents (Word) and web pages (Safari).

At about 1380 pages, it started getting a light stripe. I took out the toner and gently rotated it, and put it back in, allowing us to get about 70 pages more. The rotate trick only worked once.. the next time, it was really out.

[...]When I called HP and talked to some woman she said 1600 pages was for a 5% coverage=a short memo. why don't they put on the box a complete page may yield only 800 pages. HP sticks it to the consumer again. From now on I will shop online and buy generic cartridges @ 4 for the same price.

      When I started my practice, I was advised to start with a laser printer and to continue using one. I took the advice and went with HP. My documents always look crisp and clean, easy to read and I am very happy with HP and with the toner cartridges. SO easy to remove and install.

        I have used the cartridge for about two years. I get excellent quality in my printing from daily use. I can use the lighter section on my printer and I still have very good ink quality. The recommendation to change the cartridge always gives a good advance warning so that I know when I need to prepare to buy a new cartridge. I would recommend this cartridge for personal use and business use. As a teacher, I am constantly having to make copies at home. I can successfully print several copies of documents over and over again in one day and I still have great ink quality.

          How do I install this laserjet toner into the printer.
          Asked on 9/18/2012 by Joan from West Haven, CT

          1 answer

          • A:

            Flip the front toner door toward your body, exposing the printer cartridge. The toner door will release the cartridge. Slide it out of the compartment, and insert the new one into the compartment. The printer will recognize the new cartridge.

        • Q:

          My toner cartridges are averaging 1200 copies per cartridge. Should be getting approximately 1600 pages per. I do not do any special printing, straight text printing and also have the printer set to draft copies to try to extend the lifetime of the toner cartridge. Purchased the printer approximately 18 months old. Can you please let me know why I am not getting as many copies as advertised?

            A:

            The cartridge yeilds up to 1600 pages. However there may be an option with your printer to minimize the amount of ink used. I would check your owners manual or contact HP as there may be this function with your printer.

            Answered on 12/12/2011 by Sarah P from Staples
          • A:

            The capacities on all Printer, Copiers, Ink Cartridges and Laser cartridges are based on 6% of the page being covered with toner or ink. This is an average size business letter. Any more than that will make the cartride seem to do less. Also on toner cartridges is to shake them side to side when they start to get low so you can get more out of it.

        • Q:

          We have a HP model 1600 lazor color printer in the office. We need to replace all of the print cartridges. Your WEB site does not provide me confirmation that the cartridges that come up in my search are for the HP model 1600.

          Why won't your WEB data confirm printer cartridge applicability to the model no of the HP printer?

          Thanks
