There is a compatible for this one, $217.00 cheaper
G&G make a compatible that replaces Q2612A, at $11.95 against $228.95 for the genuine. It is not a HP product and it does not carry HP's warranty.
Worth knowing before you choose. A compatible cartridge is a real option on a machine that is looked after. On a machine nobody is maintaining, a poor cartridge can streak, leak or take the drum with it, and a drum costs more than the cartridge ever saved. That is the trade, and it is yours to make.

What it costs per page
At $228.95 for about 2,000 pages, this cartridge works out at about 11.4 cents a page. That figure compares one cartridge against another, which is what it is for. It is not what a page out of the machine costs.
Toner and nothing else. These figures are for toner alone. They do not include the drum or imaging unit, the fuser, the waste toner box, any other part, service, labour or paper. And the yield is the maker's rating at about 5 percent coverage of the page, so anything with photographs, heavy graphics or solid colour uses more toner and costs more a page than the figure above.
There is another way to buy it. On a DSA service agreement you pay one set rate a page, with toner, drums, parts, servicing and call outs included, so the cost of a page is fixed whatever the coverage and whatever the machine needs along the way. On most machines that works out lower than buying cartridges one at a time, and it is the same number every month. How an agreement works, or tell us roughly what you print and we will work out both figures for your machine: ask for a comparison or call 1300 922 260.
If the machine is getting on, that comparison is worth doing with a new one beside it. A newer machine usually prints a page for less, and the agreement, the machine and the toner can be one monthly figure. New printers and copiers · Rental and lease
Not sure it is the right one?
Check the model name on the front or top of the machine, or the code on the cartridge you are replacing. If it still is not clear, call 1300 922 260 and we will confirm it before you order.
