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…..

78A Toner Cartridge
All other HPLaser printers had an X version for longer lasting cartridge. I am replacing one a week and at 80.00 this is cost prohibitive.

HP is a good product; however it seems to run out too quickly but if you shake shake shake it will last almost an entire additional day.

Just OK
Unfortunately this cartridge doesn't have a very long life. I usually get around 1800 pages if I'm lucky. I print loan documents on legal and letter pages. Seems like this is pretty standard however as the 49A was about the same.
