Great Product
Had the opportunity to purchase a much cheaper toner cartridge for my HP laser jet printer, but chose HP because it lasts a long time.

Damaged goods
I purchased this cartridge several months ago because I didn't want to run out of ink. It turned out that I purchased it a few months too early but I thought that this was okay because I just left it in its box waiting until I did run out of ink. Finally I opened the box and put it in the machine. I was really glad I had purchased ahead of time then. Now I'm not. The ca...

Does not yield enough copies. I buy it because I have no other choice, because of the type of printer I bought. It is alo very expensive compared to other toner cartridges.

HP Toner and Laser Printers are the Best
It uses every drop of toner before the printer stops evenly and consistantly

necessary evil
It works fine, but after a few hundred pages, I had to shake the cartridge to get the toner to print more evenly.

This thing can read my mind
Staples asked me to review this item, so here you go: It holds ALL the toner until some is needed to print a page, and then it only lets the toner out at the exact spots where it's needed to form letters, numbers, or images. It's like it reads my mind - it knows EXACTLY where to put the toner. It's a little scary, come to think of it.

Ink Runs Out Quickly
We're stuck with it because we bought the printer, but I don't think we're getting anywhere close to the 2,000 pages promised by the manufacturer.

Prefer HP to other brand name cartridges
The size of the cartridge is small, so I seem to replace it more often than my last HP lazer jet printer.

Up to 2000 pages? NOT!!!!
This toner cartridge provides beautiful professional looking print but will start saying "Replace Cartridge" with nearly 400 pages to go. Sadly these last pages to print are usually streaked and will be completely unusable. You can temporarily remove the streaking and use more of the toner by frequently taking the cartridge out and shaking it. Do so over a trash can or ...

Short Cartridge Life
This cartridge claims to yield 2000 pages, but can fall short by several hundred pages. The printer it's compatible with (HP Laserjet M1522) is great, so it's too bad the cartridge doesn't live up to manufacturer's specs.
