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…..

Double Pack
Desktop printers. This is awesome to have a double pack available. Local stores only have individuals.

Toner yield overrated
Toner quality is good but yield does not live up to the hype.

Not enough toner in cartridge
I have had to replace the cartridge approximately every two weeks the shortest time span being 11 days! Not enough toner for what I do.

It's long lasting
We keep shaking the drum even when our printer notifies us the toner is low and it keeps going and going and going . . .

poor Value
It is very easy to install but the toner does not last nearly as long as HP claims. HP toner on my previous HP 3030 Laser Jet Printer lasted much longer and as a lower cost.

Does not last as advertised.
The cartridge works well, but does not last very long. It probably prints about 1000 pages.
