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…..

Too costly for so few pages
This cartridge prints way too few pages for the price. Capacity needs to be increased without a huge price increase.

HP 78a Black Toner
This printer cartridge last long and is great for our small business needs. We require only black and white printing and with this cartridge alone we are getting a the very minimum 2 100 pages from this cartridge. To date I have no complaints.

Expensive & short toner life
Toner life short for the amount of money paid for cartridge makes printer expensive to use as a general purpose small office unit.

Pricey but worth it.
Expensive but worth it. Also have to turn on the HP ToolBox FX feature on the printer panel each time to see how much toner is left & how many pages it would print.

I buy this product again and again and..
Would really like to see a high capacity version so I wouldn't have to go to Staples so often to get replacements. Not that I don't like staples I always find things to spend my money on.

Poor Printer Cartridge
I do not recommend buying any HP printer that requires this printer cartridge. We got approx. 500 sheets printed with the cartridge before it ran out of ink. The next time I buy a printer, I'll make sure I research how good it's printer cartridge is. I'm extremely disappointed in this product.
