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…..

Another great HP Product
For the number of sheets printed the price is good.

Erases savings gained with printer
I read printer mfgs. made their money on cartridges. This is my first experience of running thru a toner so quickly. I've used HP for years. Great machines! This will be an expensive unit to maintain if the cartridge empties so quickly.

HP has done better!
Toner leaks causes copies to have lines. Rollers collect toner and become dirty often.

OK Cartridge but Expensive!
This is an O.K. cartridge i.e. it produces an exceptable document; easy to change; and doesn't smear. The price is way too expensive however.

Our only choice
Last year the amount of toner seemed to decrease in the cartridge.

Are there other choices?
Doesn't last long...but is there any other choice? This is the cartridge required by the printer I use.

It's a toner cartridge!
Of all the toner cartridges I have ever purchased - and I have purchased many - this is unquestionably one of them. My NEW toner cartridge is currently still sealed in its box in that my OLD toner cartridge is still hard at work being a old toner cartridge. When it ceases to be an old toner cartridge and transforms itself into a SPENT toner cartridge I shall remove ...

Very disappointed!!
We have a small business and purchased the HP all in one because we were happy with our last HP machine but this one is costing us and arm and a leg in toner....we are replacing every other week!! We can't afford to keep this machine!! We are so very disappointed. Will not by HP next time if their reputation is going down like this.
