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...

Excellent product!
The Laser Jet makes work faster. My Black & White prints come out really sharp and professional- always good for a business.

36A is required for M1522p, 12A simpler
Typical 'smart' laser cartridge with chip that can create confusion if changing cartridges before empty. Easy to install. Works well. Wish it cost much less, had greater capacity and were not 'smart'.
No choice if one wants an M1522p product (which is excellent)

Replace cartridge already?!
Documents look great, easy to install, but seems like I just put it in and am already getting message to replace.

I never knew toner could be like this
Over the years I've become jaded about toner. Hit 'print', something comes out of the machine. No big deal. Yawn. Now, out of the blue, comes this toner cartridge and right from the get-go you can tell this is going to be different; this cartridge will last a while, it'll be reliable, and it may even single-handedly plot a path toward world peace and a penant for the Ti...

Better then reviews that I read.
I was initially disapointed because I only got about 950 pages from the cartridge that came with the machine. On my second cartridge, I actually kept track and got 2300 pages of which most were payroll tax forms and tax returns which include printing all the lines and boxes. I can print 2 copies of 100 corporate tax returns which average 10 pages each. That's less than ...

Disappointed in HP
Posted Dec 23, 2007
CB436A does not produce up to 2000 pages
I bought this printer based on the 2000 pages per cartridge claim - it does not even come close - had an HP 1200 series and its print cartridge output was great - will consider other non-HP printers in future - terrible expense per month on printer toner for the HP 1505n!!

No bang... just fizzle for your buck
I purchased the printer based on the pages per month specs. They forgot to mention that it would take FOUR expensive cartridges to accomodate that usage. That's equivalent to the cost of the printer every month. Since profanity is not allowed, I'll leave it at that...
