1. Find Your HP Printer Model

Locate the complete model number of your HP printer, typically found:

• On the front or top of the printer
• On a label inside the printer or behind the toner door
• On the printer’s control panel
• In the printer settings or HP software
• On the original box or previous toner package

Common HP printer families include:

• HP LaserJet monochrome laser printers
• HP Color LaserJet printers
• HP LaserJet Pro and Pro MFP multifunction printers
• HP LaserJet Enterprise and managed models
• HP OfficeJet and inkjet printers (which use ink instead of toner)

2. Check the HP Cartridge Number

HP LaserJet toner cartridges are identified by a short cartridge number, often displayed alongside a longer alphanumeric part number. Examples include:

• HP 12A, part number Q2612A
• HP 53X, part number Q7553X
• HP 64A, part number CC364A
• HP 80A, part number CF280A
• HP 85A, part number CE285A
• HP 89A, part number CF289A
• HP 30X, part number CF230X
• HP 414X, part number W2020X family

The complete number identifies printer compatibility, toner color, capacity, and whether it’s for monochrome or color printers. An 'X' at the end usually indicates a high-yield version.

3. Understand HP Printer Supplies

HP laser printers may use more than one type of supply, which should not be treated as interchangeable:

• Toner Cartridges: Contains the powder for printing. Replace when low-toner message appears.
• Drums and Collection Units: Separate maintenance items that may need replacement at different times.

4. Choose Black or Colour Toner

HP LaserJet toner is available for both monochrome and color printers:

• Black Toner: Ideal for text documents, invoices, and reports.
• Colour Toner: Typically includes separate cartridges for black, cyan, magenta, and yellow.

5. Compare Standard and High-Yield Toner

HP toner is available in standard-yield, high-yield, or extra-high-yield versions:

• Standard Yield: Best for occasional printing; lower initial cost.
• High Yield (X): Ideal for regular printing; more pages per cartridge.
• Extra-High Yield: Suitable for heavy printing; fewer replacements needed.

6. Genuine vs. Compatible HP Toner

When shopping for HP toner, you’ll find both genuine and compatible options:

• Genuine HP Toner: Manufacturer-branded, ensuring direct compatibility and consistent quality.
• Compatible HP Toner: Third-party options that may offer lower prices for everyday documents.

7. Check the Page Yield

Page yield estimates how many pages a cartridge can print under standardized conditions. Your actual yield may vary based on:

• Toner coverage
• Color vs. black-and-white printing
• Print density settings

8. Calculate Your Cost Per Page

To compare toner value, use the formula:

Cost per page = Cartridge price ÷ Estimated page yield

9. Check the Compatibility List

Before ordering, review the product page for:

• Exact HP printer models
• Cartridge number and part number
• Toner color and capacity
• Estimated page yield
