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…..

Excellent product
Excellent product - but it is expensive. I wish there were some way to reduce the price so it was more affordable. Also if there could be a higher capacity cartridge - it would be of benefit since I print a lot of pages and have to change the cartridge more often than if there were a higher capacity cartridge I could purchase.

1530 dnf MFP AIO printer software
I appreciate the notification when the toner cart. is low. When I set the re notification to remind me in 1 week it reminds me every time I print. Also there doesn't seem to be a way of informing the software that I have already purchased the new toner cart. Until the print jobs start to come out lighter I'm stuck with the notification dialog box appearing every time I ...

HP Toner
The toner always produces clear and dark copies. I usually can get about an average of 2500 print/copies from my printer out of one cartridge.

Long live HP! Long Live Staples!
Its always a pleasure to use HP products but I was alittle stumped when my new printer (60 days old) coughed and sputtered. After spending A-Lot of time online and on the phone running thru many habi-trails I discovered that I had been sent a re-manufactured ink cartridge! My assistant kept my boss distracted while I drove way across town to Staples. I ran in handed th...

genuine HP toner
I usually purchase recycled toner cartridges. The cost for the original toners are expensive. As a teacher, I try to conserve costs to get the best product for the money. I have found, recently, that some recycled toners are not giving the same quality that I have been getting in the past. I have now used my Staples Reward dollars to get the original HP toner. I have no...
