78A cartridge page yield
Terriible performance. I got on 588 double-sided copies (1176pp) from one cartridge that is rated at 2100pp output. I cannot afford to use this printer & will be trying to return it.

Low Output Cartridge
Keep in mind the product spec is for only 2100 copies which is very low for a business. Performs fine otherwise

Good product
We've changed our general office printing to a laser printer as the inkjets were costing us a fortune in toner replacement. We have four admin staff printing to this one HP printer instead of 4 HP Inkjets. We're using less toner so it's turning out to be a more economical solution - we're actually saving money!

Excellent, Reliable Product
I have put several of these toner cartirdges through an HP P1606dn printer with no problems of any kind. Excellent quality printing with no toner mess throughout the cartridge life.

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...

CE278A Toner Performance
My first cartridge has printed 946 pages so far and I'm being told it has 150 pages left. The specs for the cartridge say it should be able to print off double that amount. I just ordered my second cartridge and if I end up getting the same results, I'll be using this printer as a scanner.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

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.
