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…..

No choice-what printer calls for
I really don't feel I had a choice between the toners it's what the printer works with. The price is very high though.

Hope the 2 100 page yield is true
The original toner that came with the laser all-in-one lasted a very short time compared to what I have experienced with laser printers. I hope that was just because it was the "free" toner supplied with the printer and does not happen with this newly purchased toner (and future toner purchases). I will still purchase the HP toners for my HP printer as I feel the qual...

I deem it appropriate to give this a medium rating because it sits very competently in its box waiting its turn. It does this very well, but it will be some time after I do install it before I'll be able to say much that would be relevant to users. [...]

Excellent quality toner. High price.
I print about 500 B&W pages a month at home.

It's okay for a small, home-based office
I find I have to replace this on an almost monthly basis. I go through about 4 packages of paper and then the ink starts to fade.

Good quality - short life
Print quality is good, but cartridge has short life and is too expensive. Found comparable product on-line that is less costly.

poor quantity.
I was rather surprised and disappointed at how quickly I have to replace this cartridge! I have used other HP cartridges and have been very pleased with both the quantity and quality of the printing. The quality is great - but it sure lacks in quantity - thought I had a low volume cartridge rather than a regular one. Come on HP - why are you skimping on the quantity of...

Too Short Cartridge Life
We have had to change the cartridge in our new printer 3 times within 4 months. Our old printer & cartridge lasted 3 times that long.
