I only needed one cartridge! Will not live long enough to use two!
Already responded that it is unfair to make a customer buy two in a pack when self life and use are considered. $215 for two cartridges is really unconscionable and unfair. Address the issue…..

Print life to short
Easy to use but not nearly enough copies for the cost. Not economical. Had I known this I would not have purchased the printer. Perhaps better for home use, not business.

HP 78 Toner Cartridge
Our law office requires clear sharp document printing and we get that with this toner cartridge. Better performance and longer lasting than compatibles.

Terrible per-page cost
I can't believe that HP is charging just as much for a cartridge rated at 2 000 pages as it has for cartridges for other printers rated at 5 000 or more pages. It's outrageous. Previously I owned a LaserJet 1200 and before than a LaserJet 4. I always bought either the standard or extended-life cartridges. Even the so-called "economy" cartridges were rated at 3 000 page...

Too little product for too much money
I refuse to pay $80-$90 for one toner cartridge. I am purchasing toner for half the price - and sometimes even less when there is a special deal on-line. I wouldn't mind so much if the toner lasted longer but it's not a practical product for the amount of printing I do. Sorry.

Good copy
Beautiful copy but cartridge didn't last near as long as I expected from the packaging information.

Good copier toner does not last long!
The HP printer does a good job for our small office. I am somewhat disappointed in the price of the toner cartridges which do not seem to last as long as our prior machine cartridges.

Easy install
This cartridge is very easy to replace. I am not sure about its longevity. This is my first new cartridge. I'll have to see how long it last with everyday use.

Does not last long for the price
All I can say is it is too expensive for the return you get on it. I would recommend a different fax/printer that does not have expensive replacement toner.
